Overview

•Batteries
Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions supplied with the BarcoReality SIM6 MKII.
2.1 Installation guidelines
Ambient Temperature Conditions
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and ty
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C or 104 °F
Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-25.6°F to 149°F)
2. Installation Guidelines
pe of screen to use are critical to
Humidity Conditions
Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing
Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing
Environment
Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not
excessive.
Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution
Environment condition check
A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronic
components. Failure to take suitable precauti
nants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be
non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and
may deem the warranty null and void. In such a c
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper
ons to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contami-
ase the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
use.
What about ambient light ?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient
light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be
covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and
floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level
R5976493 BARCOREALITY SIM 6 MK II 08092003

Page 12
2. Installation Guidelines
is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest
and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to
the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that
interference with the screen is minimal.
Which screen type ?
There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined am
of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.
The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10)
or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another co
called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the
highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information
about screens, contact your local screen supplier. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but r
educe the viewing angle.
What image size ? How big should the image be ?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 5 to 4.
2.2 Configuration
Which configuration can be used ?
The projector can be installed to project images in four different confi
gurations :

2.3.4Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from
the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools
To ra ys e eTMcloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.
Howtocleanthelens?
Proceed as follow :
1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee
2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.
Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.
3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.
4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.
Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address (’0’ or ’1’) regardless of what address is set in
the projector itself.
The RCU is default programmed with address 0 or 1, ’common address’. With that ’common address’ programmed into the RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this RCU. If
it is necessary to control a specific projector, than enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that
address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.
Common Address
Every projector has a common address ’0’ or ’1’. The choice between ’0’ and ’1’ can be selected in the Service mode.
4.6.2Displaying and Programming addresses
Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.
1. Press Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’
To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with the
digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. For example : if the
Address key displays projector address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address
to match the projector’s address. Do not press 003 digits. This will address the remote control to ’0’ and
control all projectors in the room. If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default
address (zero address) and control all projectors in the room.
4. Getting started
How to Program an Address into the RCU?
1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.

5.3.2Possible file manipulations
Connecting a new source.
Before using a new source, a correct file has to be installed. The projector’s memory contains a list of files corresponding to the most
used sources. When the new source corresponds with one of these files, the file can be loaded and saved for future use. When
there is a little difference, the file can also be loaded and then edited until the source specs are reached.
File loading can be done automatically. Files with a ~ in front of the file name are temporary files. These files
will be deleted when switching to another source.
Possible file Manipulations
The following file manipulations are possible :
•Load : installation of a file for a new
•Edit : editing a loaded file to the source specs.
•Rename : renaming a file.
•Copy : copying a file.
•Delete : deleting a file
•Options : way of sorting the files.

5.3.5.3 Correct value
What is already available during start up?
During the installation of a file with LOAD, the horizontal period, the total number of vertical lines and the interlaced mode are
automatically measured and filled in, in the menu table. These values will be available when starting up the EDIT procedure of an
active file.
Do not adjust these settings on an active file, they are used to identify the input source file.
How to find the correct values for the item in the Edit file menu?
Horizontal Total Pixels
If the value for "Horizontal Total Pixels" is wrong, sampling mistakes (small vertical bars with noisy
and unsharp data in the projected image) will be seen in the image.
Select "Total" and adjust the pixel quantity. Adjust for zero bars.
hint: if the number of bars increase, adjust in the other direction.
Active Pixels
The "Active Pixels" : determine the width of the window on the screen. This value is normally given in
the source specifications. If not, adjust until full image is displayed (no missing pixels).
Horizontal Startnumber of pixels between the beginning of the input signal and the start of the video information in
the signal.

in the specification of the source. If not, adjust until full image height is displayed (no missing lines)
Vertical Startnumber of lines between the start of the input signal and start of the image on the screen.
Interlaced [On] or [Off]this selection is automatically filled when active file has to be edited. If the image is wrong due to
mismeasurement, use the ENTER key to toggle between [On] and [Off]. (for interlaced images,
1 frame contains 2 fields).
During the installation of a file with LOAD, the system automatically measured the horizontal period,

The field polarity function is used for interlaced images. Both rasters of the image could be shifted in a
wrong way (double lines are visible in the image). This can be corrected by forcing the field polarity to
[neg] or [pos]. Use the ENTER key to toggle between [pos] and [neg].
Default [both]
The field select is only used for interlaced images. One frame of an i
nterlaced image contains two
fields, an even and an odd field. The choice exists to project [both] fields on the screen or only the
[even] or [odd] field.
Use the ENTER key to toggle between [both], [even] and [odd].
If the active Stereo Compatibility Option is installed, t
he field select parameter will be changed
into a [left] and [right] selecting parameter which will be selectable for stereo files. This setting
will then be saved in the active image file.
The way of updating the image information on the LCD panels. Not available for PAL-NTSC-SECAM
sources. Where this option will be displayed in gray.
•For sources with a vertical frequency up to 60 Hz : the vertical refresh rate is the same as the
vertical frequency of the incoming source. This is a necessity to project moving images without
’motion artifacts’. For stationary image
s with a vertical frequency up to 60 Hz it is still possible to
use asynchronous refresh.
•For sources with a vertical frequency higher than 60 Hz : the vertical refresh is different than the
vertical frequency of the incoming source. Synchronous refresh cannot be used.
The vertical refresh can be synchronized with the leading sync edge or trailing sync edge. Default on
[leading]. Toggling to [trailing] is only necessary for special applications where the trailing edge of the
sync signal has to be taken as a reference. Use the ENTER key to toggle between [leading] or [trailing]

5.4.7Input Balance
Why adjusting the input balance?
The input balance is normally correct adjusted in the factory. But due to signal distribution or signal transmission outputs a color
imbalance can be the result. This imbalance can be adjusted source by source for color critical applications. These adjustments
influence only the actual custom adjustment file. This procedure is not so easy and is best done or first demonstrated by an authorized Barco service technician.
46
R5976493 BARCOREALITY SIM 6 MK II 08092003
Page 51
Step to be taken
To adjust the input balance, the following steps have to be executed in the following order:
1.The procedure is best done when using a source that can generate a full black and full white image.
2.Start with the Black Balance.
3.Continue with the White Balance.
The default values are normally loaded with the factory preset when selecting a source. If the image is not as
desired, continue with the next procedure.
