3. 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 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 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 manufactures 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 manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.
What about Ambient Light?
The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sun
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 ceil
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 wr
interference with the screen is minimal.
ing lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level
ite comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that
light and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient
es, degrading
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 Mirror Devices (TM) in which case there is a loss of warranty.
Which Screen Type?
There are two major categories of screens used f
projection applications.
Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount
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 consideration
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.
or projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear
What Image Size?
The projector is designed for projecting an image size from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3.
3.3 Projector Position
CAUTION: Improper positioning of the projector may reduce the lamplife and result in severe accident orfire
hazard.
Projector Position
Keep following projector position guidelines in mind when installing the projector:

7.2 Input Balance
What can be done with the Input Balance Adjustment?
The main Input Balance is set by the Preset Input Balance, this is adjusted in the factory. This factory preset is active on all source
files.
Due to signal distribution or signal transmission outputs a color imbalance can be the result. For critical applications the Input
Balance needs to be adjusted source by source.
The Input Balance in this menu is the source by source additional adjustment, the Input Balance setting is saved for each custom
source file.
This procedure is not so easy and is best done or first demonstrated by an authorized Barco service technician.
R5976870 BARCOREALITY SIM 5PLUS/SIM 5R 04/04/2007 43
7. Image Menu
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 explains also 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 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 7-1
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 changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots also called “di gital noise”.
An alternative to a fullscreen White/black pattern is thestandard gray scale pattern, thewhite bar will be used
for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

What can be done?
DynaColor™ will eliminate channel-to-channel color variations.
How to define color?
The CIE chromaticity diagram is one way to plot the colors the human eye can see.
Image 7-14
The CIE chromaticity diagram
A projector can only reproduce a certain color gamut within this diagram. This color gamut is defined by the triangle formed by the x,
y coordinates of Red Green and Blue. These parameters are used by the DynaColor™ adjustment in the BarcoReality SIM 5plus.
Image 7-15

48 R5976870 BARCOREALITY SIM 5PLUS/SIM 5R 04/04/2007
7. Image Menu
Due to the tolerance on optical components the x, y values of this color gamut of each projector will differ.
Image 7-16
The color gamut of each projector will differ
When working with a multichannel setup, these color differences between different projectors can be smooth out by matching the
color gamuts of the different projectors to a Common Color Gamut.
Image 7-17

The Common Color Gamut
In a basic setup with 2 projectors, the perimeter of the Common Color Gamut is described by the 6 points of intersection of the 2
separate color gamuts.

Dyancolor™ L (Light Output) Value
The value L in the Dyancolor™ interface represents a relative light output.
L=1 is the maximum available light output, the current CLO setting is taken into account.
Assume we have a projector, CLO is set to the desired value and assume the light output is x Lumens. L=1 in
the Dyancolor™ interface will correspond with a ’maximum full white light’ output of x Lumens.
Lmax will show the max available light output for each color.
Dynacolor™ Adjustment Preparations
Set the CLO setting to the same value for each projector involved in the Dynacolor™ Adjustment.
This to ensure that the L(ight Output) value is representing an equal Light Output level for each projector.
Two Dyancolor™ Sets
Two Dyancolor™ sets are available for each source file.
Each Dyancolor™ set will contain its own measured and desired parameters.
The first set can be used for a regular application, the second set can be used for a different optical setup e.g. an application with
Infitec filters, and this for the same source file.
The Dyancolor™ Interface
Following parameters are available in the Dyancolor™ Interface:

Dynacolor™ Adjustment in a Multi-Channel Setup (Linked Dynacolor™)
It is advised to use Barco’s xRACU control
unit to manage the ’linked’ Dynacolor™ of multiple projectors in a multi-channel setup.
Basic Dynacolor™ Adjustment
We assume we have a basic setup with 2 projectors, the Dynacolor™ adjustment is done by using only the Dynacolor™ menu:
1. Enable Dynacolor™ on both projectors.
2. Assume the first projector has the following measured values. (image 7-21)
3. Assume the second projector has the following measured values. (image 7-22)
4. We start by setting both projectors to the common red coordinate.
Tip: Draw a quick sketch of both gamuts as a graphical help. (image 7-23)
5. Display the internal color bar patter
6. In the desired values, adjust the red coordinate to a common value for both projectors.
Tip: The color barof the adjustedcoordinate will nolonger be displayedin case th e coordinate is not presentwithin the gamut

8.1 Introduction
What can be done with the WARP 6™ Geometry adjustments?
With the new WARP 6™ fitted in the BarcoReality SIM 5plus, fixed-matrix projectors can be used in a wide variety of c
applications, ranging from 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. Since WARP 6™ is integrated in the BarcoReality SIM 5plus Pixel Map Processor,
solution for even the most demanding applications.
Using the intuitive user interface, bows can be set up and modified in a flash, giving the user real-time access to the distortion
characteristics. For fine-tuning the image, the user has to access to individual grid points that can be shifted to their desired location.

8.5.1 Introduction
How does it work?
• The geometry adjustment is devided in 4 groups, representing 15 levels, each level represents a group of grid points, these
can be shifted to the desired location. Each level will interact with other levels in a hierarchic way, adjusting a grid point on a
certain hierarchic level will affect grid points in the levels underneath.
