2.1 Safety Warnings

Mercury Vapor Warnings

Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential

• Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.

• Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.

• Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a pregnant woman).

• Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

2.2 General

WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions.

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 falls outside this range (10°C- 35°C or 50°F-95°F).

Storage temperature: -35°C to +65°C (-31°F to 149°F)

Humidity Conditions

Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing

Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing

CAUTION: Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

2. Installation Guidelines

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.

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 surfac 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.

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 transm 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 scre 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 suppli

ens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration

What image size? How big should the image be?

The projector is designed for projecting an image size : min 1.00m (3.3ft) to max 15 m (49.2ft) (depending on the ambient light conditions), with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.

2.3 Projector Configuration

Which configuration can be used?

The projector can be installed to project images in four different configurations:

• Front/table

• Rear/table

• Front/ceiling

• Rear/ceiling

Positioning the projector

The projector should be installed perpendicular with the screen on a distance PD and water leveled in both directions. The mounting positions in the following images are shown for a nominal lens position.

Component Video signals (PR/Y/PB)

Some interfaces use progressive output signals with a double line frequency of 32 kHz. The video decoder used for the video signals is not appropriate for these signals since it can only handle 15 kHz signals. This signal has therefore to be internally redirected, this is done in the Source selection menu by selecting Dataon BNC’s instead of Component video and by selecting Pr/Y/Pb in the advanced settings of the Image file menu.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface is a display interface developed in response to the proliferation of digital flat panel displays.

The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This connection standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) from Silicon Image and DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association).

DVI can be single or dual link.

4.8 Projector address

Overview

• Address setting

• Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU

4.8.1 Address setting

Projector address

Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Common address

Default address. Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common address.

Why a projector address ?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefor each projector has its own address.

Set up an individual Projector Address.

The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.

Projector controlling.

Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Installation menu.

Whentheaddressisset,theprojectorcanbecontrolledby:

• RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.

• computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 0 and 255.

A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address ’0’ regardless of what address is set in the projector itself (common address of projector should also be “0” ).

The RCU is default programmed with address 0 , ’common a

ddress’.

If it is necessary to control a specific projector, the address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.

Some projectors may operate in domestic environments where other equipments may listen to the common address “0” , therefore the common address can also be set to “1”.

Page 41

4.8.2 Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU

Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.

1. Press the 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 0–0–3 . 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 controls then all projectors in the room.

Address 0 (or 1) should always allow communication with the projector since it is a common address.

Displaying the Projector Address in Standby

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.

All the LED’s on top of the projector go out.

The LED3 starts blinking green. The number of blinking stands for the number of hundreds. After that LED2 starts blinking for the number of tens. Finally LED3 starts blinking for the number of units. If the blinking is done, the original status of the LEDs restored.

Input Selection with alternative custom file (slot extension)

It is possible to select the same input but with another settings (another custom file will be loaded). Howtodoit:

1. Press first 0 on the RCU. The Slot extension menu will be displayed.

2. Enter the two digits. First digit is custom file sequence and the second digit is the input. E.g. 33, the third custom file will be loaded for source 3. If it does not exist, it will be created. The same input can be loaded with 9 different input sources. E.g. for source 3, the input can be from 13 over 23 to 93.

8.7 Filmmode detection

What can be done ?

Some sources like common DVD material are derived from cinema 24 Hz sources (2/2 or 3/2 pull down method).

The filmmode detection insures that these converted signals are shown without artefacts.

This function may cause undesired effects on standard sources, therefore it can be disabled (OFF) at any time

2:2 pull-down

The process of transferring 24-frames/sec film format into video by repeating each frame (used for PAL DVD’s) as two video fields. ( AD )

3:2 pull-down

Method used to map the 24 fps of film onto the 30 fps (60 fields) or 25 fps (50 fields), so that one film frame occupies three video fields, the next two, etc. It means the two fields of every other video frame come from different fil making operations such as rotoscoping impossible, and requiring care in editing. Some sophisticated equipment can unravel the 3:2 sequence to allow frame-by-frame treatment and subsequently re-compose 3:2. The 3:2 sequence repeats every five video frames and four film frames, the latter identified as A-D. Only f frame and so exists at one time code only, making it the editable point of the video sequence.

Artefacts

Undesirable elements or defects in a video picture. These may occur naturally in the video process and must be eliminated in order to achieve a high-quality picture. Most common in analog are cross color and cross luminance. Most common in digital are macroblocks, which resemble pixelation of the video image.

8.9 Input Balance

Overview

• Introduction to Input Balance

• Adjusting the input balance

• Input balance for YPrPb signals

8.9.1 Introduction to Input Balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there is always a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.

R5976815 RLM G5I PERFORMER 02/06/2006

Page 80

8. Image Menu

In case of information contained in the amplitude of the signals which is the case of data color signals (R, G, B),image 8-33 , we are quite sure that the amplitude of these color signals is subject to alterations.

An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset repositioning the black level, since this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on (clamping circuit) it will result in “black not being black”.

Another value that is subject to alteration is the amplitude of the signal, resulting in an altered “Gain” of the signal (“white level” or contrast).

The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced, image 8-34

0.7V

Image 8-33

Black level

∆

Image 8-34

One can conclude here that a good color tracking can only be met by using three previously (input) balanced color signals

Analog D

The analog color signals must pass through an Analog/Digital conversion circuit prior to any digital processing in the PMP.

A typical ADC transforms the analog value into an 8 bit coded digital signal.

The graphic shows that when converting a signal containing a DC offset component the range of the converter is not optimally used.

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.

R5976815 RLM G5I PERFORMER 02/06/2006

Page 81

8. Image Menu

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allow 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 explains also why each input balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).

8.9.2 Adjusting the input balance

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 source in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern

2. The source in question must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100% black (background) full screen pattern

Image 8-36

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 eac 100% black image (image B).

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 the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

in fact the aim is to minimize the effect of the two other colors since there is a risk of reaching too soon the 50% transition due to the contribution of these two other colors signals.

Input balance is also available for a component video source under following conditions:

• A component video signal is present on the BNC’s.

• ”Data on BNC’s” is selected in the Source selection m en u.

• Pr/Y/Pb is selected in the Advanced menu of the corresponding image file.

The procedure is the same as for a data source except:

• The white balance happens only on Green. Adjust until bright spots appear in the image.

PiP

PiP stands for "Picture in Picture" and allows to display multiple windows containing each of them an image. The windows may be of the video or data type.

What are the different possibilities within the PiP mode ?

The input section of the RLM G5i Performer projector allows a multitude of combinations of different input signals which may be projected in the 4 windows of the PiP screen.

The PiP mode allows independent settings for each window:

• Image settings : contrast, brightness, tint, color, ...

• Vertical and horizontal shift of each window all over the screen

• Re-sizing of the window

• Digital Zoom

10.3 Output Frame rate

What can be done ?

To avoid transition effects when switching from a source with a frame rate of 50 Hz to a source with frame rate of 60 Hz or vice versa, set the output frame rate to one typical frequency. The default value for this setting is synchronous, that means that the output frame rate follows the input source. When the source is 50 Hz, the output will be 50 Hz, when the source is 60 Hz, the output will be 60 Hz, but transition effects can occur. When set to e.g. 50 Hz, all sources will be displayed with an output frame rate of 50 Hz. 60 Hz sources will miss some frames.
