The VR Workroom allows multi source (mono and 3D) visualization in a Desktop integrated environment. A master/slave system and the network integration allows perfect
synchronization between the 2 displays.

Convention

The left side is chosen to be the left side from a viewer’s point of view i.e. when looking at the screen in a front configuration. The
left projector is thus on the left side.

4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

4.1 Principle

iCon Server

This is the internal Single Board Computer residing in the Barco iCon projector. The Barco iCon Server takes care of
(among other things) the desktop source management.

VR Workroom system principle

The VR Workroom uses 2 Barco iCon LCD projectors to display a desktop generated by the internal iCon Server of one of the
projectors. This projector is set as the Master and controls the other projector set as the Slave. In r
generated by the Master and projected by both projectors.

On this desktop, multiple source windows can be added and configured to set up a collaborative working environment. Passive
Stereoscopic projection is obtained by projecting the left eye image on one projector (here the Master ) and the right eye image
channel on the other projector (here the Slave). The interaction with the user is done by the Master i.e. the keyboard and the mouse
are connected to the master.

Introduction

Depending on the system considered i.e. front or rear the installation will be different. For each configuration it can also differ
depending on the setup, the screen dimensions , ...

The systems are however pre-adjusted for optimal image quality for pre determined a projection distance and screen dimensions
(as offered).

Following chapters handle the different installation procedures.

The detailed drawings with dimensions can be found in the appendix Dimensions.

5.1 Installation guidelines

Safety Area

To insure optimal cooling of the projectors and allow easy maintenance and servicing operations (see Maintenance section), always
insure a minimal safety zone around the system (structure).

The rear area of the system should also allow the removal of the projectors.

WARNING: Installing the Ceiling mount should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with all

the safety issues and installation guidelines. Notdoing this increases the risk of hazards and personal injury !

WARNING: Test the fixation to the ceiling for s afety and rig idity under side loads and to at least 800kg (1764

LB) downwards.

WARNING: The support is provided with three security chains. No t installing the security chains may result

in serio us personal injury !

WARNING: To insure optimal cooli ng of the proj ectorsand allow easy maintenance and servicing operations

(see maintenance section) always in sure a minimal safety zone around the system (structure).

WARNING: Persons not involved in the installation must be kept out of the installation area !

Introduction : What must be done ?

The VR Workroom is pre aligned and will guarantee optimal image quality only when respecting the fixed given dimensions i.e.
several distances are fixed (indicated with a exclamation mark in the image below)

The image’s (screen) vertical start position and thus the assembly’s height however can be adapted to the application’s requirements.
The assembly’s height is adjusted with the screwed rods that fix the assembly to the ceiling mount’s top part.

5.2.3 Preparation for the assembly mounting
What has to be done ?

Prior to the mounting of the assembly (bottom part of the ceiling mount + VR workroom assembly ), one has to mount the cords on
the pulley systems. The cords and pulley system will be used to pull up the projector.

A safety cable has to be attached to the projector frame and to the ceiling mount.

How to mount the cords on the ceiling mount top parts (has to be done for the 2 ceiling mounts)?

1. Slide the cord support in the support holder on the upper support until it locks (image 5-7, image 5-8)

2. Insert the cord on the upper support as illustrated

3. Run the top of the cord through the hole of the fixation bracket for approx. 1m and fix this latter to the main cord by means of the

3 provided clamps. Tighten the clamp screws very strongly to ensure good fixation and for safety.

• Computer name : the name of the computer (iCon Server). By default the name is set as VRslave for the slave (and VRmaster

for the master iCon Server)

• Master as slave source : the physical input at which the master is connected to the slave, by default L3 DVI.

• Baud rate : the baud rate for the RS232 communication between Master and Slave. The value must be the same as the baud

rate set on the Slave projector (see projector’s owners manual).

• RS232 address : the RS232 address of the Slave projector. By default this should be 2.
