Safety information
1.1 General Considerations
WARNING: Be aware of suspended loads.
WARNING: Wear a hard hat to reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING: Be careful while working with heavy loads.
WARNING: Mind your fingers while working with heavy loads.
WARNING: In case of optical radiation emergency, please disconnect the device from the mains
current; this by employing the mains switch. In case the mains switch is not easily accessible, the
projectors shall be disconnected by other means for example the mains junction box.
It is advised to employ the shutter or select a black image on the projector in order to reduce the risk
of the emergency.
General safety instructions
• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics
inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
• Do not stare into beam when the projector is on. The bright light may result in permanent eye damage.
• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
• Installation and preliminary adjustments must be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by authorized
Barco service dealers.
• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals must be adhered to.
• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
• All local installation codes should be adhered to.
Notice on safety
This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1,
as basis for National safety regulation world wide. The safety standard covers information technology
equipment including electrical business equipment intended to operate in “normal” environments (offices and
homes). This safety standard imposes important requirements on the use of safety critical components,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy
hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external
temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection
against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing reduce the risk of hazards and contribute to
ensure the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.
Notice on optical radiation
This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the
projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting
the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance
value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye
and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of
laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp
based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from
the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the
maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “Hazard Distance”.
WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3
(Risk Group 3) IEC EN 62471-5:2015
R5911443 /02 UDM10
Page 11
Safety information
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Notice on laser radiation
The laser distance meter that is optional equipment for this projector can emit a class 2 laser ranging beam of
0.95 mW / 638 nm. When installed correctly, this distance meter is located on the front side of the projector
(see ). The laser beam can be enabled by either pressing the button on the equipment, via the projector menu,
or via the projector software. Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when staring into the laser ranging beam.

WARNING: Laser Radiation — Do not stare into laser ranging beam, Class 2 IEC EN 60825-1:2014
Users definition
Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to Barco authorized persons having
appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which
they are exposed (including, but not limited to HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC and ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY
and HIGH BRIGHTNESS PROJECTORS) in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk
to themselves or other persons. The term USER and OPERATOR refers to any person other than SERVICE
PERSONNEL, AUTHORIZED to operate professional projection systems.
The UDM projector is intended "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" by AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL familiar
with potential hazards associated with high voltage, high intensity light beams and high temperatures
generated by the light source and associated circuits. Only qualified SERVICE PERSONNEL, knowledgeable
of such risks, are allowed to perform service functions inside the product enclosure.
1.2 Important safety instructions
To prevent risk of electrical shock
• This product should be operated from a mono phase AC power source. Ensure that the mains voltage and
capacity matches the projector electrical ratings: 120-180V / 200-240V (+/-10%), 16A-12A, 50-60Hz. If you
are unable to install the AC requirements, contact your electrician. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding.
• This apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable.
• If none of the supplied power cables are the correct one, consult your dealer.
• If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• Never use 2- wire power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock. Always use a
power connector with a ground terminal.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the
cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Use only the power cord supplied with your device. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have
not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the device. For a replacement power
cord, contact your dealer.
• If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
• Do not operate the projector with a damaged cord. Replace the cord.
• Do not operate the projector if the projector has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined
and approved for operation by qualified service personnel.
• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
R5911443 /02 UDM 11
Page 12
Safety information

due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
To prevent personal injury
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before
powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. The weight of a basic projector is about 48 kg
(105 lb) without lens.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in damage to
the eye.
• Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness
(radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not
accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within
the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light.
Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly
within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high
thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems.
Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance
(HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the
irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16.
• High Brightness Warning: The projector light source may not be switched on or the shutter must be closed
when no projection lens is installed.
• Based on international requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone
between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by
creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator
training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “High Brightness
precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16.
• Warning: Laser radiation when optional laser distance meter is installed. Do not stare into laser ranging
beam. Class 2 laser beam could result in damage to the eye.
• Don’t put your hand in front of the beam.
• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics
inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous. This kind of

tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.
To prevent fire hazard
• Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
• Barco large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety
regulations. This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal
operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close
proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this
reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector
whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40
cm (16”) for this projector.
• Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The
concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
• Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by
accident.
• Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. . Mount the
projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose
the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, CO
use water on an electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco
service personnel. Always insist on genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement
parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
• Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the
projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a
built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent
hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
• Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.

Safety information
To prevent projector damage
• The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area
would be monthly-minimum. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector,
causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
• If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are
valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in
decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it's covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in
installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and
remove all power from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by
qualified service personnel.
• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same
room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely
damage the Digital Mirror Devices

1.4 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See
chapter “HD in function of modifying optics”, page 20.
To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following
installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the
product at the height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in
excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which
persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SW)
lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In environments where
unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or
equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's
shoulders, within the HD.
These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section
6.6.3.5.
The installer and user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard
distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, separation height, barriers,
detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation
within the hazard distance.

Safety information
For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where
persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters,
resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the
floor level. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation
height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual
sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. Sufficiently large separation height may be achieved
by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between
the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating
sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the
surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.
On Image 1-3 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If
required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier,
like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1-3.

USA market
For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.
LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums ...)
shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone
shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be
not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is
at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:
• 0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
• 0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
• 0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.
LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, ...) shall be installed at a height vertically above
the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the
floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access
horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an
unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the
hazard distance zone.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to
laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install
the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Variance holders may currently hold a
variance for production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light
show variance can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form 3147 referencing to
Barco’s variance approval 2016-V-0144.
The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation.
The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The last variance holder in the
distribution chain is responsible to maintain the installation checklist and to make it available on request of the
FDA. In case Barco is the last variance holder the checklist must be sent to pvg@barco.com.
In addition to temporary installations (e. g.: rental and staging, lease, events …) the following requirements
apply:
• Rental companies shall have a laser light show variance because they have direct relationship with the
installers of the rented equipment.
• This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone,
and the audience can be directly observed at all times.
• Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.

Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at
the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector,
disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible
(e. g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
1.5 HD for fully enclosed projection systems
HD
Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the
energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the
skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the
light source is less than the HD.
Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD
The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated
projection screen. As displayed in Image 1-4 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed

Pulse Remote Control Unit
3.1 Remote control, battery installation
Where to find the batteries for the remote control ?
The batteries are not placed in the remote control unit to avoid control operation in its package, resulting in a
shorter battery life time. At delivery the batteries can be found in a separated bag attached to the remote
control unit. Before using your remote control, install the batteries first.
How to install
1. Push the battery cover tab with the fingernail a little backwards (1) and pull, at the same time, the cover
upwards (2).
Image 3-1
2. Insert the two AA size batteries, making sure the polarities match the + and - marks inside the battery
compartment.
Tip: Use alkaline batteries for optimum range and life time.
Image 3-2
3. Insert (1) both lower tabs of the battery cover in the gaps at the bottom of the remote control, and press (2) the
cover until it clicks in place.
Image 3-3
R5911443 /02 UDM32
When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.
Page 33
Pulse Remote Control Unit
CAUTION: Replace with the correct battery type. Use two AA size batteries. There is a risk of
explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
CAUTION: Replace the battery as explained above. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
incorrectly installed.
3.2 Remote control, protocol setup
About the used protocol
The protocol is the code send out by the remote control when a button is pressed. Depending on this code, the
projector can decode the signals. The remote control can be used with two different protocols: RC5 and NEC.
Depending on the projector to control the remote control can be switched between these protocols.
Which protocol to use
• The NEC protocol has to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: F70, F80, F90, HDX
4K, UDX, UDM, XDL, etc.
• The RC5 protocol has to be used all legacy Barco projectors: HDQ 2k40, HDF, HDX W, etc.
How to set
1. Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see “Remote control, battery installation”, page 32.
2. Place the switch in the desired position.
Image 3-4
Remarks when using the RC5 protocol
Due to new or updated functionality not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the
legacy Barco RCU and projectors. Take the following limitations into account:
• Buttons Shutter open and Shutter close emit the same code when in RC5 mode. This because the
legacy RCU’s only had 1 button for Shutter functionality.
• Buttons Power on and Power off emit the same code when in RC5 mode. This because the legacy RCU’s
only had 1 button for Power functionality.
• The RGB filter button is not supported.
• The Input selection button is not supported.
• The Default value button is not supported.
• The Macro button is not supported.
3.3 Remote control, on/off button
Purpose of the remote control on/off button
The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 Image 3-5). Switching off the
remote control prevents that unwanted commands are send due to an accidental key press. Furthermore,
switching the RCU off will extend the battery life time of the remote control.
R5911443 /02 UDM 33
Page 34

Pulse Remote Control Unit
To activate the remote control press the on/off button.
To deactivate the remote control press the on/off button again.
Default when (re)placing batteries, is “ON”.
Image 3-5
3.4 Using the RCU
Pointing to the reflective screen or IR sensors
Switch on the RCU and point the front of the RCU to the reflective screen surface or point directly to one of the
projector IR sensors. Make sure you are within the effective operating distance (30 m, 100 ft in a straight line).
The RCU will not function properly if strong light strikes the IR sensor window or if there are obstacles
between the RCU and the IR receiver.
Image 3-6
The RCU can also hard-wired been used. See chapter “Using the XLR connector of the RCU”, page 36.
Using the RCU in combination with a 3D emitter
When using a 3D emitter that radiates IR beams (e.g. the optional 3D emitter that Barco provides), the IR
beams of the 3D emitter may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU.
If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable with XLR connector. It is
also be advised to turn the IR receivers of the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. The IR
receivers can be turned off in the GUI: System Settings > Communication > IR Control .

3.7 Function of the RGB filter button
Filtering the color of the projected image
By pressing the RGB filter button on the RCU you can place a color filter on the output of the projector. This
feature can be useful during the installation and configuration of a multi-projector or multi-channel setup. By
having one projector project a red image and another project a green image, it is easier to spot and adjust the
overlap section.
By pressing this button multiple times, you will have different active filters, in the following cycle:
• Red + Green + Blue (default)
• Red only
• Green only
• Blue only
• Red + Green
• Green + Blue
• Red + Blue
• Red + Green + Blue
• etc
After powering up, the colors will always revert back to full RGB.
3.8 Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU
Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.
1. If the projector is on, press the menu key and navigate to the Status page. The projector address and the
broadcast address can be seen under the Communication heading.
The projector's address is displayed on the LCD status screen and / or the OSD.
How to Program an Address into the RCU?
1. Press the Address button until the Button pressed indicator lights up continuously (proximately 5 seconds).
2. Enter the address with the digit buttons within the time the indicator lights up (also proximately 5 seconds).
Note: That address can be any value between 0 and 31.
Tip: A few examples:
To enter address 3, press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU's address to 3 and wait until the
button pressed indicator is out. Alternatively, you can also press “0” and “3”. This way, the button
pressed indicator goes out immediately.
To enter address 31, then press “3” and “1” on the digit button on the RCU and the button pressed
indicator goes out immediately.

The communication interface of the UDM series projector supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication
on two different types of input connectors, a Sub-D connector and an USB connector acting as RS input when
connected to an USB input of a PC.
You can use the RS232/RS422 input to connect a local PC to your UDM series projector. By this way you can
configure and control your projector from your local PC.
Advantages of using RS232/RS422 serial communication:
• easy adjustment of the projector via PC (or MAC).
• allow storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
• wide range of control possibilities.
• address range from 0 to 255.
• sending data to the projector (update).
• copying data from the projector (backup).

Description
RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the
characteristics of the communication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or DSUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does
not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of
conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies
component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C,
which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24
standard. Logical '0' is > + 3V, Logical '1' is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition
zone.
R5911443 /02 UDM42
Page 43
Input & Communication
RS422
An EIA serial digital interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of balanced
(differential) voltage, digital interface circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than
RS-232. This signal governs the asynchronous transmission of computer data at speeds of up to
920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port standard for Macintosh computers. When
the difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical '0'. When the difference is >
+0.2V that equals to a logical '1'..
USB port
The communication interface is equipped with a master USB port, type “A” connector. This USB port will
simplify the service procedures for firmware updates or for downloading the log files without a network
connection.
If the only file on the USB device is the firmware file (a “*.fw” file), the projector will automatically start one of
the following processes.
• cornet<version nr>.fw: The projector will upgrade or downgrade, depending on the version number.
• LogExtractor.fw: The log files will be downloaded.
Make sure that any used USB-stick is FAT32 compatible and contains no other files or folders.

Functionality of the Quad Combo input Mk II
The Quad Combo Input Mk II support 12G input and throughput on the SDI connectors.
Compared with the Mk I the Mk II includes the following:
• SDI input A supports 12G input signals.
• SDI input C functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on input A.
• SDI input D functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on input B.
• HDBaseT input 1 supports network connectivity.
SDI input & output – How does it work?
When connecting an SDI source to the projector and the signal is HD or 3G, you can choose any of the four
input connectors.
When connecting multiple projectors with the same signal, you can connect the signal as follows:
• Connect the source signal to Input A or B of the first projector.
• If the source signal is connected to input A, connect input/output C to the Input of the following projector.
• If the source signal is connected to input B, connect input/output D to the Input of the following projector.
• Continue in the same fashion until all projectors are connected.
When connecting a 12G SDI source to the projector, you can only connect that source to input A.
Only Input A accepts 12G SDI signals . While it is technically possible to connect a 12G SDI source
to Input B and connect that source to another projector in line (using Input/Output D), this first
projector itself will not be able to process the 12G signal.

6.1 Displaying a single source
About selecting a source
Before a source can be projected, the source signal must be connected to the source input (s) of the device
and a valid synchronization signal must be available along with the source signal on at least one of the input
connectors.
How to select?
1. Press Menu to activate the menus and select Source.
Image 6-1: Select Source
2. Press OK.
The Select Source menu is displayed with the actual available sources filled out.
3. Select the desired input.
6.2 Displaying multiple sources: Stitched layouts
About stitched layouts
The first time you use a selected single source, the source will be displayed in the projector's native resolution.
If the resolution of the source is different to the projector's resolution, the image is stretched or shrunk.
It is however possible to configure and display two or four source signals to make up one single image in full
native resolution. This is called a Stitched Layout: the sources are stitched together.
The following table lists which stitched layouts you can use, and in which display mode these layouts can be
used.
The table below describes the different Stitch Layouts and scan directions.

7.2 Adjusting the sharpness
About adjusting the sharpness
The sharpness adjustment amplifies the high frequency components in the picture. This means that by
increase the sharpness, the picture will be perceived as sharper, and if decreased, the picture will be
perceived as more blurry.
Increasing the sharpness will have the best effect in high contrast images, eg a table with text and borders.
In a natural picture, high sharpness can be perceived as noise, as all details in the picture will be amplified.
Available range: -2 to 8.
Default value: 0

3. If necessary, use the ▲ or ▼ key to select the other image adjustment options.
7.4 Setting the desired Gamma type
About the alternate gamma types
Next to the standard gamma correction, the projectors can be manipulated in a way to simulate gamma types
for other devices or purposes. This includes sRGB (standard Red-Green-Blue), Power gamma and a number
of DICOM gamma ranges.
DICOM gamma ranges are usually reserved for medical displays. While this projector is not a certified DICOM
display, it can simulate certain specific DICOM gammas at a few selected max light outputs. The DICOM
gamma assumes that both ambient light and the projector outputs black as 0 cd/m². Then there will be a few
predefined gamma curves at the following light outputs:
• DICOM 10: 10 cd/m²
• DICOM 60: 60 cd/m²
• DICOM 180: 180 cd/m²
• DICOM 250: 250 cd/m²
• DICOM 300: 300 cd/m²
• DICOM 400: 400 cd/m²
Take into account that the available DICOM gamma types may be more limited than this list, depend
on your used projector type.
Exception when using an HDR source
The only alternate color gamma that can not be selected in this menu is PQ/HDR. Because the color output of
HDR is dependant on extra factors such as screen luminance, a separate menu has been made available for
this (PQ).
If the source signal is HDR encoded an HDR icon will be visible next to the source signal. This is visible both in
the Connector selection menu, as well as the status menu.
R5911443 /02 UDM 65
Page 66
GUI – Image
Image 7-12: Example of the HDR Icon in the status menu.
For more info on PQ and HDR, refer to “Displaying HDR content – Perceptual Quantizer (PQ)”, page 72.
How to adjust the gamma type?
1. In the main menu, select Image → Gamma type.
Image 7-13: Image menu — Gamma type
The Gamma type menu is displayed
Image 7-14: Gamma type menu
2. Select the desired gamma type.
Tip: If not sure what gamma type to select, keep the default value AUTO selected. This will determine
the used gamma type based on the incoming signal.
However: keep in mind when using AUTO mode, your media player needs to be configured correctly
as well. While most mainstream media player devices will be configured correctly, we cannot
guarantee this is the case for every device available on the market. If you notice the projected image
seems “off”, it may be necessary to check the configuration of your media player. For more info, check
the user guide of your media player device.
7.5 Digital Shift & Zoom
What can be done?
The image can be optically shifted by using the vertical and horizontal lens shift.
R5911443 /02 UDM66
Page 67
GUI – Image
If you want to reach a lens shift beyond what is possible with the optical shift, you can also perform a digital
lens shift. This digital shift will occur on the DMD, rather than the lens holder. So take into account that this
additional shift is minimal and restricted to the limits of the chip used.
For the optical zoom and lens shift, navigate to Home → Installation → Lens.
Lens shift is only possible when the used lens has been fully calibrated. To calibrate the current
lens, navigate to System Settings → Maintenance → Lens Calibration.
The effect of Digital Zoom
This function zooms in the picture digitally. When zooming in, the center of the image will increase in size. This
means that the outer part of the picture will be outside the picture frame. When zooming out, the result is that
the picture will be smaller than the projectors picture frame. The area outside the rendered picture will then be
black.
For an example, see the following photos. The red lines in the figures represent the DMD outline.
Image 7-15: Originally picture, not digitally zoomed
Image 7-16: Picture digitally zoomed in Image 7-17: Picture digitally zoomed out
The effect of Digital Shift
This function will shift the picture digitally, meaning that the picture will be moved in any direction. As a result,
some parts of the picture might be shifted outside the DMD range.
For an example, see the following pictures. The red lines in the figures represent the DMD outline

7.6 P7 Realcolor
Purpose
When blending images from multiple projectors, the measured color coordination of each projector can be
altered to a desired common level. This so that the projected colors are identical over all projectors used.
Alternatively, if you are unfamiliar with how adjusting the Colors to a specific setting, there are also a certain
number of presets available, which forces the color output to specific color standards.
How to set custom P7 values
1. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → P7 Realcolor.
Image 7-23: Advanced menu — P7 Realcolor

2. Select the desired Mode. Choose one of the following custom options:
• Custom RGB: 3–point color configuration.
In RGB mode, the C, M and Y coordinates will be calculated automatically based on the R, G and B
coordinates.
• Custom RGBCMY: 6–point color configuration (both RGB and CMY).
In RGBCMY mode, each color can be given a specific coordinate within the measured color triangle.
• Custom WHITE: Configure only the White temperature.
3. Define the coordinates for each available color.
Click on a coordinate value and select the current value. Enter the desired value with the numeric keys.
Note: You can only pick coordinates within the measured color triangle.
4. For Custom White, click on White point and choose one of the following:
• Coordinates: Configure the white point via specific coordinates.
The white point is specified using an x, y coordinate in the CIE 1931 Chart.
• Temperature: Configure the white point via a color temperature slider.
The white point is specified on a Kelvin scale between 3200K and 13000K tracking along the black body
curve.
You can reset all coordinates to the default values (to native) by selecting Reset modes to native.
Press OK button to reset.
How to choose one of the P7 presets

• 4K UHD S: 4k extra sharp images, using the actuator at a higher frequency
• WQXGA: 2k images. In this mode, the actuator is disabled.
If the main purpose of the projection is image (pictures, movie, or similar purpose), use the 4K UHD
output resolution for the best image at the highest light output.
If the main purpose of the projection is text (spreadsheets, presentations, or similar purposes), use
the 4K UHD S output resolution for the for the most stable and sharpest output.
7.8 Displaying HDR content – Perceptual Quantizer (PQ)
About PQ
Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) is a non–linear electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) that allows for the display of
High Dynamic Range (HDR) content with a luminance level of up to 10 000 cd/m² and can be used with the
Rec. 2020 color space.
When do I know my content is HDR encoded?
If the source signal is HDR encoded, an HDR icon will be visible next to the source signal. This is visible both
in the Connector selection menu, as well as the status menu.
R5911443 /02 UDM72
Page 73
GUI – Image
Image 7-30: Example of the HDR Icon in the status menu.
How to properly display HDR content?
If your provided HDR content has been mastered with PQ (e.g. HDR10 and Dolby Vision), a few changes can
be made in order to project the intended mastering on screen. These changes are necessary because HDR
content has been mastered specifically for HDR capable displays that are watched in living rooms. These
conditions are different from a non-HDR projector and darker cinema-like environments.
The projected HDR content depends on the following factors:
• Mastering luminance: This is content-specific and cannot be changed.
• Screen luminance: Every projection screen has a specific luminance (measured in nits or foot-lambert).
Entering this luminance in the projector will adapt the content towards the intended HDR result.
• HDR Boost: A variable “booster” that may amplify or downplay the HDR output.
How to set the PQ?
1. Make sure the chosen Gamma Type is set to AUTO. For more info, refer to “Setting the desired Gamma type”,
page 65.
2. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → PQ.
Image 7-31
The PQ menu is displayed.

8.4 Laser ranging
What can be done?
When the optional laser range finder is installed on the projector, you can use the laser source to measure the
distance between the front of the projector and the surface you are projecting on.
This can help you fine-tune the position of the projector.
Take into account that while a laser ranging session is active, the projected image will be off. This to
have no interference between laser pointer and projected image.
Instead, a red border will be projected giving the outline of where the projected image should be.
How to manipulate the laser range finder?
1. In the main menu, select Installation → Laser ranging.

8.7 Warping
About warping
Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen.
Consequently, it can also be used to generate an image with irregular shape.
While an image can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesn’t affect the colors.
8.7.1 Warping – On/Off
About warping on/off
By toggling between on and off the warping functionality can be enabled or disabled.
How to toggle

8.7.2 Warping – Screen Size
About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment
If the used source aspect ratio is different than the projector aspect ratio, e.g. source is 16:9 and projector is
16:10, then black bars will be projected. In the example case a black bar on top and bottom of the image will
be projected. The warp area contains not only the image information but also the black bars. If we want to
position e.g. the active left top corner exactly on the screen using 4 corner warp, then it is very hard to do that
as we are moving the black left top corner and we do not have control over the exact position of image left top
corner. By moving the outline of the warp screen size to the active image information, the corner points of the
warp area are now exactly on the corner points of the active image information and makes warping much
easier.
Image 8-18: Warp outline example
How to adjust the image?

8.7.5 Warping – Warp files
About custom Warp Files
Next to setting your specific warp configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom warp
grid in XML format to/from the projector. This is a time-saving option when multiple projectors need an
identical Warp configuration.
R5911443 /02 UDM 89
Page 90
GUI – Installation
To upload or download warp files you can use Projector Toolset or Prospector tool to upload/download the
warp grid in the format of an XML file. Alternatively, you can contact the “file endpoint” directly via the curl
program or some other tool that supports http upload.
For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using the Projector Toolset, refer to the Projector
Toolset user manual.
For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using curl or other tools that supports HTTP
upload, refer to the Pulse API Reference Guide.
When uploading a warp file that is too big, or with warp parameters outside the limits of the
projector, some irregularities can occur. It will show up in two ways:
1: No warp enabled, picture still unwarped.
2: Distortions and artifacts in the edges of the picture.
There will be no error messages or warnings in the display when this occurs. The above mentioned
symptoms is the only indication of this case.
How to activate an uploaded Warp grid?

8.7.6 Warping – Latency control in a multi projector setup
Transport latency
The added delay in the image processing chain. The value is the number of lines relative to the
output resolution.
Latency
The total time from the first pixel is coming in on an input source, until the first light representing that
pixel is visible on the screen. This includes the transport delay. The value is normally given in
milliseconds.
Functional description
Every projector in a multi–projector setup will have a different latency. This latency depends on the amount of
warp and on the frequency of the projected image. In order to have no visible difference in the overall
projected image, the user needs to be able to control the latency of each projector.
The latency value can be read out in the status menu for each individual projector.
How to configure transport delay?
1. Read out and note the latency of each projector in the multi-projector setup. You can find this latency under
Transport delay in the status menu for each projector.

8.8 Blending & masking
About Blending & Masking
Blending is used in multi channel installation to have a seamless transition between the channels. Image
blending gives the appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide
screen applications.
The principle is that the light intensity in the blend zone from each projector will be adjusted individually, so
that the rendering on the screen are perceived as from one projector.
Image 8-48
From the start (mask) position, you can blend zone size per edge (left, top, right, bottom). For each edge there
will be a drop-off curve for the blend zone.
8.8.1 Blend & Mask
About masking and blending width or height
Offset is used to clip the image on one or multiple sides (masking). This is used to hide parts of the picture that
should not be shown on the screen. For example: if the source is a Windows PC, you can hide the menu bar
using this method.
The larger the Mask value, the more the image is masked (by black bar) at the corresponding side. E.g. Top
mask of 100 will blank the top 100 lines.
Height or width is used to create a blending zone with a smooth brightness drop off. This is used to
compensate for the double brightness in overlap areas. The value is the size of the blended area in pixels.
How to adjust blend zones?
1. In the main menu, select Installation → Blend and Mask → Blend – Mask.

3. To project masking lines on the screen, put the Show lines switch to the right. The color of the switch
becomes blue when enabled.
4. Determine the start position of the mask (1) for the masking height and width, together with the desired size of
the mask (2) to determine the width of the masked area.
When the blending lines are activated, you will get a visual indication of the screen of the installed blending
area.

GUI – Installation
Example of the use of blending
When projecting an image with 2 or more projectors, there is always an small overlap that should be corrected
by using the blending function.
In order to obtain a satisfying result for the Blend function, the overlap / mask zone are
recommended to be at least 10% of the picture width.
The basic principle is that the overlap setup in the source shall correspond with the mask width setup for the
projector. That means that if the overlap zone for the source is set to 500 pixels, the width of the mask zone for
the projector also must be set to 500 pixels.
First step is to align the image from the projectors as accurate as possible in a mechanical way, meaning
without any optical corrections. At the same time, establish an overlap in the pictures between the two
screens.
Then adjust the remaining irregularities by using the shift and warp features in the projectors to obtain the last
fine tuning of the alignment.
Enable blending and activate Show lines.
First set the mask width for the right edge of the first projector. Enter a width value equal to the overlap area
(width1).
Repeat for the left edge of the second projector.
Adjust the offset to cut the image on each side (masking).

8.8.3 Basic black level adjustment
About adjusting the black level
The purpose of the black level adjustment is to align the black levels in the overlapped regions with the black
levels in the other regions.
This is needed because the black levels will be brighter in the blend zones, since multiple projectors will
project on the same screen area.
The size of the black level area is calculated automatically from the blend zones. This is done by using the
start position and size of each edge of the blend and adding an additional size of 8 pixels to reduce the effect
known as "sea of mirrors".
You can also specify the offsets manually by turning off the automatic calculation. The black level value is
adjusted in a 16–bit resolution from 0 to 65535.
The following figure shows how this occurs in a side by side configuration without any correction of the black
level.

8.8.5 RGB adjustment
About RGB adjustment
The purpose of black level correction is to ensure a uniform black level in multi projector setups. Even when
two projectors are of the same type, different projectors will output slightly different colors for black due to
minor variations in their optical components. So if the projected image of the projectors overlap, there will be 3
different black levels: one for the zone where only the picture of the left projector (zone 1), one for the Blend
zone (zone 2), and one for the zone where there is only the picture of the right projector (zone 3).
Image 8-63
The black levels for zone 1 and zone 3 are typically corrected by defining a black level mask, which is applied
to the image of each projector. This system is already in place but the applied mask is monochrome.
Using the Basic Black Level menu, you can already specify the area of the mask and its contents. But by using
the RGB Adjustment page, you can specify the multiplication factors (gains) for the Red, Green and Blue
colors separately.
How to perform an RGB adjustment

8.9 Laser illumination
What can be done?
Within a certain percentage, the light output of the light source can be reduced by reducing the laser power.
Alternatively, you can enable CLO mode (Constant light output) for a constant light output over a longer period
of time.
You can only change the power output when the shutter is opened.
About CLO mode
All light sources naturally decrease their intensity over time. In order to prevent a decreasing output in a multiprojector setup, you can activate CLO mode to make sure that the light output remains constant.
CLO mode will ensure that the projector regulates its illumination power to maintain the same level of output
light during the lifetime of the light source. This requires that the light source power is not set to 100% from the
start, but to a lower value. The lower this value is set, the longer the projector will be able to maintain the
output level.
How to reduce the power
1. In the main menu, select Installation → Illumination → Power.
Image 8-66: Illumination menu, Power
The actual power setting is indicated at the bottom of the Power button.
2. Use the Slider to change the power value.
