• Battery Insertion in the Remote Control
• Stacking projectors
• Rigging points and accessories
WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual delivered
with the projector and also the safety pages in this manual.
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
R5976629 BARCORLM G5 02/06/2006 11

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.
Special Care for Laser Beams

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.

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 45
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.

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.

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

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.

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
A
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.

8. Adjust the blue black level on a minimal value
Note: This minimal value is not necessary , provided that the 2 other colors are not influencing too much the colorto be adjusted,
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.

8.9.3 Input balance for YPrPb signals
Remark on the input balance of a component video source
Before starting the Input Balance procedure, generate a signal with dominant white parts.
R5976629 BARCORLM G5 02/06/2006 83
Page 88
8. Image Menu
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.
Image 8-43
• The black balance happens on the three colors.
The PR and PB connector have to be removed from the input.
Adjust until noise appears in the image.

9.2 Introduction to PiP
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 BARCO RLM G5 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
