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

• Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

• Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by

authorized Barco service dealers.

• All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals should 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, EN60950-1, UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipment including electrical business equipment. These safety standards impose 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 ensures 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

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

R5906112 /11 UDX10

Safety information

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 Image 1– 1). 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.

Image 1–1 Location of the laser distance meter

WARNING: Laser Radiation — Do not stare into laser ranging beam, Class 2 IEC EN 60825-1:2014 See the product safety manual for details.

Users definition

Throughout this manual, the term SERVICE PERSONNEL refers to 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 UDX 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 Safety training to be provided by the installer

Users definition

The UDX projector is intended for persons who have been instructed and trained by a skilled person (installer or service personnel) to identify energy sources that may cause injury and to take precautions to avoid unintentional contact with or exposure to those energy sources.

The skilled person must instruct the user about:

• High intensity light beam. The user must respect the exclusion zone, based on the light beam Hazard

Distance (HD).

• Dangerous energy sources inside the projector. The user is not allowed to remove any cover from the

projector.

• The installation, maintenance or service is for skilled persons only.

• The requirements for a restricted access location, an exclusion zone and a restriction zone.

Restricted access location

To protect untrained persons and children, the projector must be installed in a restricted access location. The definition of a restricted access location is a location for equipment where both of the following paragraphs apply:

• Access can only be gained by skilled persons (installer or service personnel) or persons who have been

instructed and trained by a skilled person. The persons must have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions that shall be taken.

• Access is only possible through the use of the tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is

controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Why a restricted access location: this is an RG3 product. 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 and width or by

11R5906112 /11 UDX

Safety information

placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights and widths are discussed in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16.

Exclusion zone

The projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation. 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 not be less than 40 cm (16 in).

Restriction zone

To protect untrained users and children against high intensity light beams, the light beam Hazard Distance (HD) shall be taken into account.

1.3 Important safety instructions

To prevent the 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 (120-160V / 200-240V (+/- 10%), 20A, 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 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 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.

• 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.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the projector should

be used. A cord rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.

• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

R5906112 /11 UDX12

Safety information

• 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. 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.

• Before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers, you must turn off the projector and disconnect

from the wall outlet.

• When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord from

the power net.

• The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to

switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling 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.

• Never stack more than 2 UDX projectors in a hanging configuration (truss) and never stack more than 3

UDX projectors in a base stand configuration (table mount).

• When using the projector in a hanging configuration, always mount 2 safety cables. See installation

manual for the correct use of these cables.

• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious

damage to it and possible injury to the user.

• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses or shields shall be changed if they have become

visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.

• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Mono-ethylene glycol (1,2-ethane

diol) and inhibitors in aqueous solution (34% active). When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact qualified service personnel. The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.

• Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.

• All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.

• In case of using an external cooling system position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not be

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.

13R5906112 /11 UDX

Safety information

• 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

or dry powder fire extinguishers. Never

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.

To prevent battery explosion

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

• For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal

rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.

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

• Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror

Devices

in which case there is a loss of warranty.

1.5 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance

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.

R5906112 /11 UDX16

EXIT

(B) TOP VIEW(A) SIDE VIEW

Safety information

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.

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.

TH Theater. RZ Restriction Zone in the theater. SH Separation Height. SW Separation Width.

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.

• In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP

projection light.

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

When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.

R5906112 /11 UDX32

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.

33R5906112 /11 UDX

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 .

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.

R5906112 /11 UDX42

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.

5 DisplayPort Input 6 HDMI input 7 HDBaseT input 1 8 HDBaseT input 2

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.

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.

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.

63R5906112 /11 UDX

GUI – Image

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

Image 7–11 Example of the gamma menu

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.

The only alternate 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. For more info on PQ and HDR, refer to “Displaying HDR content”, page 73.

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.

Image 7–12 Example of the HDR Icon in the status menu.

For more info on PQ and HDR, refer to “Displaying HDR content”, page 73.

How to adjust the gamma type?

1. In the main menu, select Image → Gamma type.

Image 7–13 Image menu – Gamma

The Gamma type menu is displayed

2. Use the ◄ or ► key to select the desired gamma type and confirm.

Image 7–14 Example of selecting a gamma type

R5906112 /11 UDX66

GUI – Image

Tip: If not sure what gamma type to select, keep the default value auto selected. This automatic mode will determine the used gamma type based on the incoming signal.

However: keep in mind when using the automatic mode, your media player needs to be configured correctly as well. While most mainstream media player devices will be configured correctly by default, 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.

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

67R5906112 /11 UDX

GUI – Image

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

2. In order to optimize the digital zoom, enable the Zoom slider.

When enabled, you can use the ◄ or ► key on horizontal to zoom the lens in or out.

3. In order to optimize the digital shift, enable the Shift slider.

When enabled, you can do the following:

• Use the ◄ and ► keys to shift the lens (image) in horizontal direction.

• Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to shift the lens (image) in vertical direction.

7.6 RealColor P7

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 → RealColor P7.

Image 7–23 Advanced settings menu – RealColor P7

The P7 menu is displayed.

2. Select the desired Custom Mode. Select one of the following Custom options and confirm:

• 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. Choose how to determine the Whitepoint. 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.

4. 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.

You can reset all coordinates to the default values (to native) by clicking the Reset icon.

• EBU: European color standard for broadcasting.

• SMPTE-C: American color standard for broadcasting.

• Rec. 709: Color standard for high-definition televisions (HDTV).

Image 7–27 Example of one of the presets, here DCI-P3

Note: After choosing one of the presets, you can still alter the values of the coordinates to your own choosing, similarly to how you set custom P7 values.

Use the Reset icon to return to the default values of the chosen preset.

7.7 Setting the output resolution

This menu is only available on the 4k models, with an actuator included.

71R5906112 /11 UDX

GUI – Image

How to determine the desired output resolution for my content

While the native output resolution of this projector is 4K in Ultra-High Definition (4K-UHD), sometimes it can be better to choose an alternate resolution, depending on the main purpose of the projected content:

• If the main purpose of the projection is image (e.g. 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 (e.g. spreadsheets, presentations, or similar purposes), use the 4K UHD S output resolution for the for the most stable and sharpest output.

• If the main purpose of the projection is HFR video (content with high framerate, e.g. racing games), use the WQXGA output resolution. This will disable the actuator and allow content of up to 120 FPS to be played.

How to choose the output resolution

1. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → Output resolution.

Image 7–28 Advanced settings menu, Output resolution

The Output resolution menu is displayed.

Image 7–29 Example of the available output resolutions

2. Select the desired output resolution.

7.9 Displaying HDR content

About HDR and 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.

Image 7–32 Example of the HDR Icon in the status menu.

73R5906112 /11 UDX

GUI – Image

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 7–33 Advanced settings menu, HDR

The HDR menu is displayed.

Image 7–34 Example of the HDR menu

3. Select the desired Unit (nits or foot-lambert).

4. Enter the Screen luminance (either in nits or foot-lambert).

5. Alter the HDR boost if necessary. You can modify this value to somewhere between 0.8 and 1.2.

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.

8.8.3 Warping – 4 corners adjustment

About 4 Corners adjustment

4 corner adjustment is typically used when the mechanical installation of the projector prevents it from pointing perpendicularly at the screen. For example, you can overshoot the screen and use 4 corner adjustment to pull your projected image corners back into the screen.

Some examples:

8.8.5 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.

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?

8.8.6 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.

Image 8–44 Example of the Transport delay on a UDX on the status menu

2. Identify the projector with the longest delay.

3. For each projector in the setup, select Installation → Warp in the main menu.

control.

6. Click “Apply” to confirm the value.

7. Repeat this process for every projector in the setup.

8.9 Blending & masking

About blending

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

R5906112 /11 UDX94

GUI – Installation

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.

8.9.1 Basic blend

How to set up a basic blend zone?

1. In the main menu, select Installation → Blend and Mask → Basic blend.

2. To enable blending, put the Enable switch to the right. The color of the switch becomes blue when

enabled.

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 blend area height and width to determine the dimension of the blend

zone.

When the helping lines are activated, you will get a visual indication of the screen of the installed blending area.

6. Use the arrow keys or remote digits to change the value of the blend zone and confirm.

7. Repeat this process for all other desired sides.

8. Continue by creating the blend mask. For more info, see “Blend & Blend mask”, page 96.

Do not forget to disable the Show lines button after you achieved the desired blend zone.

8.9.2 Blend & 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 set up basic blend zones?

1. In the main menu, select Installation → Blend and Mask → Blend mask.

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 helping lines are activated, you will get a visual indication of the screen of the installed blending area.

6. Use the arrow keys or remote digits to change the value of the mask and confirm.

7. Repeat this process for all other desired sides.

Do not forget to disable the Show lines button after you achieved the desired blend zone.

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).

8.9.3 Blend Files

About custom Blend Files

Next to setting your specific Blending configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom Blend configuration file in png, jpg or tiff format to/from the projector. This is a timesaving option when multiple projectors need an identical blending configuration.

To upload or download Blend configuration files you can use Projector Toolset or upload/download the Blend configuration file 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 Blend files using the Projector Toolset, refer to the Projector Toolset user manual.

8.9.4 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".
