2.1General installation guidelines
WARNING: Prior to installing the projector, read the safety instructions in Safety manual R5976125 delivered
with the projector.
Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of lamp explosion.
2. Installation
Ambient Temperature Conditions.
Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to
the optimum use of the projection system.
Max. ambient temperature : 35°C or 95°F
Min. ambient temperature : 10°C or 50 °F
The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature is higher than 40°C or 104°F).
Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)
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.
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 manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants 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 manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
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 manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.

2. Installation
Special Care for Laser Beams
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as performant laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting
of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital MicroMirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty
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
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
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.
determined amount
and another consideration
Image size
The projector is designed for projecting an image width of minimum 1.00 m (3.3 ft) to maximum 15 m (49.21 ft), depending on the
ambient light conditions, with the native aspect ratio of the projector.

On-Axis projection
Projection where the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen.
Positioning the projector
The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector
can be positioned in an On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any
installation.
A 100% Off-Axis position means that the position of the centre of the lens is shifted by half the screen height.

DVI output
The DVI output is a single link DVI output signal, having the following specifications:
•resolution: is the same as the native resolution of the projector;
•vertical refresh rate: 60 Hz if th
e projector runs in asynchronous mode mono;
•signal type: digital signal (DVI).
It reflects the projected image, excluding Geometry corrections, Soft edge and Black level correction, Dynacolor settings and OSD.
CAUTION: If the projector runs in s
ynchronous mode, the DVI output is synchronous with the input signal.
In this mode, most monitors will not display the signal in a correct way!

2.7.6Stereo connections
What can be done ?
The stereo sources sync signals have to be connected to the 4th layer of the front panel. The stereo input layer holds 6 mini DIN
connectors and 2 BNC connectors.
The 6 mini DIN connectors are the stereo sync input connections for respectively from the left to the right, the 1
The order is from left to right eg. for the DVI input board, the left DIN connector (L3/IN1) is for the left connector on the DVI input
board and the right DIN connector (L3/IN2) is for the right connector on the DVI input board.

Stereo sync inputs
The BNC connectors are the stereo output sync signals. These signals will drive the emitters in case of active stereo projection
using active stereo glasses. The fact that the projector is providing two BNC is to allow the linking (stereo synchronization) of several
projectors in a multichannel projection system (see Multichannel installation).

2.7.8Network connection
What can be done ?
The projector can be connected to a network allowing it to be accessed from any connected network device. The Ethernet connection
can be used to upload/download projector software and/or to set up communication (TCP-packets) with the projector. This network
can be a local area network or a small dedicated network
Following operations are made possible :
•file transfer for firmware upgrade
•easy adjustment of projector
•storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
•wide range of control possibilities.
•linking the projectors to allow uniform color (Linked Dynacolor) and brightness (CLO) ,...
•...
The connection to the projector can be done via a crossed cable or via a HUB on the local network (LAN).
The Ethernet connection is also used to allow the Desktop integration. The software on the delivered CDROM
must therefore be installed on the desktop PC. See the Desktop integration software User Guide.
Connecting the projector to a network
1. Connect the RJ 45 male plug to the projector’s RJ 45 female connector

The linking of projectors is treated in the section “Setup of the linked projectors in a multichannel system”
2.7.9Network settings
CAUTION: Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network and works fine.
In normal conditions, the network detection takes few seconds. This means that the total time needed to go
from power ON to Standby mode is only a few seconds. This value can vary depending on the speed of the
network connection.
But when the DHCP setting of the projector is set to Yes and the network does not allow the projector to
an IP address from the DHCP server, the startup time will be delayed by upto five minutes. After this time, a
time-out occurs if the network detection fails, and the projector starts up without any network connection.
What can be done?
These settings are used to set the Ethernet Communication parameters.
Following parameters are available :

In normal conditions, the network detection takes about 25 seconds. This means that the total time needed to
go from power ON to Standby mode can take up to 85 seconds. This value can vary depending on the speed
of the network connection.
If the network cable is plugged in, but no real network is connected to it, this start-up time can take up to 120
seconds: 60 seconds where the backlight of the LCD display is ON but no message is displayed, increased
by 60 seconds during which the LCD display shows the text BOOT.

RCU
Remote Control Unit
What has to be done?
To allow the communication between the RCU and the projector the RCU has to be programmed with the same address as the
projector.
This address must be in the range 0-9.
To know the address of the projector, one can visualize it in projection mode (on screen) as well as in stan
the LED’s on top cover of the projector).
At this stage, the image projected may happen to be upside down or mirrored, this can be set in the Installation
menu under Projector orientation (see further setting up the projector’s orientation).

The projector’s address will be displayed on the screen in a Textbox
Programming the RCU
1. Push the address key If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address (zero address) and
controls then all projectors in the room.
2. Enter the same address with the digit buttons within 5 seconds after pushing the address key.
The projector can now be controlled with the RCU.
For example : if the projector address is 3, then press "3" on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the
projector’s address.
Common address/Projector address : Beside the projector address, the projector disposes also of a Common
address which can be set to “0” or “1” (by default “0”).
In other words, an RCU set to address “0” will always control a projector regardless of its projector address
(since it uses the common address).

Page 45
3.4Setting up the projector address (only if necessary)
What can be done ?
The projector is shipped with projector address set to ”0”
In some cases the projector address must be changed, for example if an unique RCU is used to control 2 or more projectors (independently).
In the OSD menu Projector Address, the following addresses can be programmed :
•Projector address: address defined by the user, may be from 0 to 255
0-9 is used for RCU communication, 0–255 being used for RS232 serial communication.
•Common address : address may be 0 or 1

•Dynacolor : adding the projector to this control loop will allow the displayed primary and secondary colors of the projector to be
controlled by the Master
•Stereo : adding the projector to this control loop will allow the stereo output settings (Dark time, invert stereo, Phase) and the
stereo mode to be controlled by the Master
This information has to be declared in the Master projector since this projector must know all the projectors it has to talk to.

In this case, an VGA–DVI board is installed in the first layer (L1), a twin DVI board is installed in the third layer (L3) ,...
When selecting a source with a different aspect ratio than the projector’s resolution aspect ratio), the source
can be shown in its native resolution or can be re-scaled to the projector’s resolution, the latter case brings
of course some loss of quality.

5.4.2Aspect ratio
Aspect ratios
The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio.
TM
However, most of the DVD sources nowadays use the wide screen 16:9 or even the Cinemascope
Some DVD sources may even use the anamorphic 16:9 or anamorphic 2.35:1 to take advantage of the higher vertical resolution
offered by the 4:3 ratio. The term “anamorphic” means that the original wide screen image is squeezed in order to fit the 4:3 aspect
ratio.

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals
When transporting signals, there always is a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.
The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced.

Black level
The objective of input balancing
The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three colors of a particular input
source.
Black level setting : brightness
White level setting : contrast
The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allows the same reference for brightness and contrast control of the
picture!
These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source (this also explains why each input
balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).
How can it be done ?
To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the black and the white level of
the source i.e. :
1.the considered source must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern
2.the considered source must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100 % black (background) full screen pattern
A
Image 5-20
White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a
100% white image (image A)
Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a
100% black image (image B).
The black balance can be done automatically with Automatic Black level.
The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots, also called “digital noise”

An alternative to a full screen white/black pattern is a black-and-white checkerboard pattern where the white
blocks will be used for white balance and the black blocks for black balance.

This menu allows different settings on the incoming stereo sync signal to allow the perfect match with the Image Generator or PC.
With Swapped Fields we can swap the left and right fields of the stereo image at the input stage i.e. the left field will be processed
in the projector as left field or as right field and the right fieldprocessedasleftfield or right field.

5.4.6Passive Infitec
Introduction
Passive Infitec is the stereo technology where two projectors are used to display a stereoscopic image to viewers wearing Passive
Infitec eyewear. One projector has a “left” Passive Infitec filter and displays the left image, whereas the other projector has a “right”
Passive Infitec filter and displays the right image. When looking through Passive Infitec eyewear, a nice stereoscopic image can be
seen.
If your projector has the Passive Infitec stereo option on board, the according menu item becomes enabled. The moment you select
a Passive Infitec stereo source, you must make the selection in th

5.4.7.1Passive to active stereo conversion
Description
From projector software version 3.04 on, it is possible to combine two passive stereo input signals and display an active stereo
image. One of the input signals presents the right image content, while the other input signal presents the left image content.
Input signal requirements
The input signals must meet some specific requirements:
•only DVI input signals are supported
•the input signals must each be connected to a different input layer on the projector
•to avoid image artifacts, both input signals must be identical (resolution, timing-format, ...) and externally frame-locked
Active image features and restrictions
Both input signals are displayed on top of each other, as two full screen images (or full screen “PiP’s) exactly aligned onto each
other. This implies that only one of the displayed imag
image is the input signal linked to Source 1 in the Passive to Active Stereo Configuration dialog box. It is possible to select the other
image by pressing the PiP Adjust buttonontheRCU.
This is important because:
•changing image settings (e.g. Contrast, Brightness, Gamma, ...) is only applied to the selected image;
•the sync of the selected image is used to display Scaled Patterns.

How to define the Right and the Left input signal?
1. Connect each active stereo DVI input signal to a different input layer on the projector.
2. Check the presence of the input signals in the Source selection menu: select a different source (e.g. L1 PC). A Barco logo is
visible in front of both corresponding DVI input connectors if the signals are present and detected.

5.5.1Introduction to Image files
Image files
An image file contains the main characteristics of a source (number of active lines,...). The projector’s memory contains a list of files
corresponding to the most common sources : standard files.
70R59770718 GALAXY NW SERIES 20/06/2013
Page 77
5. Advanced
When a new source corresponds to one of these files, a custom file is created. The custom file is automatically saved if a setting is
altered (contrast, ...). The Save as... function allows to create and save a custom file.
The active filecanalwaysbeeditedinordertofi t exactly the source specifications.
AutoImage creates automatically the best suited image file (custom file) for a new source. AutoImage is used
when :
- a new source is detected: AutoImage creates a new custom file which can always be edited if necessary.
- the AutoImage is launched via the button on the RCU, the projector’s OSD or from the desktop’s OSD

•Startpixel
•Phase
•Contrast/Brightness levels
Auto Image only works for data images.
The measure of the total number of pixels per line can be done through 2 methods
•Limited scan: a windowing system is used to allow fast tracking.
The operation takes about 20 seconds (depending on file)
•Full scan: tracking is done over the full range.
The operation takes about 1.5 minutes (depending on file)

5.6.1Introduction
What can be done ?
With the geometry corrections, this projector can be used in a wide variety of curved and flat-screen applications, ranging from flat
or straightforward cylindrical displays to the wildest shapes that can be imagined: by pre-distorting the image inside the projector, a
correct geometry can be achieved on curved screens, without requiring additional computational power on the IG’s side.

Description
A geometry file contains the geometry corrections. The proje
demonstrate the warping capabilities of the projector. These fi les are called standard files.
The active filecanalwaysbeeditedinordertofit exactly the screen shape. Editing a standard file will automatically create a custom
file.

5.6.4Geometry distortions
What can be done ?
The geometry adjustment consists of the entire image divid
The geometry adjustment is divided in 6 groups or modes :
•2x2
•3x3
•5x5
•9x9
•17x17
•33x33
These modes represent 21 levels, each level represents a group of points (or zones). Each level will interact with other levels,
adjusting a point on a certain level will affect points in the levels underneath.
The level of the adjustment gives a measure of this impact. A level 1 adjustment happens on the 4 corners of the image and will
thus affect the whole image whereas a level 21 will only affect the adjusted point (called local points).
This interaction is also visible in the edit menu (see Geometry Edit wizard)
The fact that the adjustment affects other points means that a certain hierarchy must be respected when adjusting the geometry.
The hierarchy or levels are indicated in the following image

Introduction
The following procedures are written for a 2x2 mode adjustment. This adjustment involves the adjustment of the 4 corner points of
the image. This is a level 1 adjustment and will affect the whole image.
The adjustment procedure is similar for all the modes. The only thing to keep in mind is the order in which the points will be adjusted
i.e. always start with the lowest level points and end with the highest level zones (see Geometry distortions/level hierarchy).
A 3x3 mode adjustment gives the following new points to be adjusted ( the 4 points of the 2x2 mode being already adjusted : they
are therefore left out of the grid). Note that in this mode, 2 levels are involved, the level 2 and the level 3.
