■ Be Careful of Condensation

If the temperature of the room rises suddenly, moisture in the air may condense on
the projector lens and mirror, causing the image to become blurred. Wait until the
condensation has evaporated for the image projected to return to normal.

■ At Altitudes above 2,300 m (7,545.8'), Adjust the Settings

Projector settings must be adjusted when using the projector at altitudes of 2,300 m
(7,545.8') or higher. Specifically, refer to instructions for [High altitude] (P102) in the
[Install settings] menu.

19

Before Installation

■ When Using Mounted on the Ceiling

When the projector is used mounted on the
ceiling or installed in a high location, it is
necessary to periodically clean the air
intake and exhaust vents, and the area
around the air filter. Dust that accumulates
in intake or exhaust vents may impair
ventilation, raising the temperature inside
and posing a risk of damage or fire. Use a
vacuum cleaner or similar means to
remove dust from the intake vent and
exhaust vent.

In this case, never attempt to replace the lamp by yourself. Always
request service from the Canon Customer Support Center.

• With ceiling-mounted projectors, the lamp may fall out when you

open the lamp cover, or during replacement. During replacement,
stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under it.

• If the lamp ruptures, dust and gas (containing mercury vapor) may

come out of the exhaust vents. If this happens, immediately open
the windows and doors to provide ventilation to the room.

• If you accidentally inhale gas from the lamp or get any pieces in

your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately.

Multi Input 4K Projection

■ Definition of 4K

4K refers to high-resolution video with a horizontal resolution of about 4,000 pixels,
which is four times the resolution of full HD (1920 x 1080).
Although 4K is a convenient description, it encompasses several different
resolutions, such as 3840 x 2160, 3840 x 2400, 4096 x 2160, and 4096 x 2400.
(4096 x 2160 is also referred to as Ultra HD, and 3840 x 2400 as WQUXGA.)
The projector supports resolutions up to 4096 x 2400. For details, check the table of
supported signals. (P169)

1920 x 1080

3840 x 2160

4096 x 2400

■ 4K Support Using Digital Signals and Multiple Inputs

The projector is equipped with DVI-D and HDMI (1.4) inputs for digital signals.
However, these signals cannot be used as-is for 4K projection.
DVI-D is classified as single-link or dual-link, depending on the dot clock. Projecting
resolutions with a dot clock higher than 165 MHz requires a dual-link plug and
cable.
The following resolutions are supported.

• 1920 x 1200 (single-link; vertical frequency: 60 Hz)

• 2560 x 1600 (dual-link; vertical frequency: 60 Hz)

• 4096 x 2160 (dual-link; vertical frequency: 24 Hz)

However, most current computers are limited to a
maximum DVI-D output resolution of 2560 x 1600.
For HDMI 1.4, the following resolutions are supported.

• 1920 x 1080 (vertical frequency: 60 Hz)

• 3840 x 2160 (vertical frequency: 24 Hz / 25 Hz / 30 Hz)

• 4096 x 2160 (vertical frequency: 24 Hz)

To avoid the limitation with DVI-D that a single signal line cannot carry video with a
resolution of 4096 x 2400 (vertical frequency: 60 Hz) even with a dual-link cable,
the projector enables you to project multiple lines of input at once. This feature is
called Multi Input mode.

Connection Procedure

■ Connections for Multi Input Mode

Multi Input mode requires that the computer’s video output (whether dual-link
compatible DVI-D or HDMI) support split-screen display or display in four
quadrants. To connect the projector to computers, use up to four DVI cables and
two HDMI cables.
Refer to the following figure.

Connect up to four dual-link DVI-D cables

Connect workstations by using four dual-link DVI cables

Connect up to two HDMI cables

Connect desktop computers by using two HDMI cables

computer video output settings in advance, because you must match the display
layout (whether split-screen display or display in four quadrants).

Multi Input Mode

Specify the type of image (including resolution) supplied to the terminals. Use [Normal] for
most signals. For specific signals, use [Single], [1x2], [2x2], or [1x4] as needed. For
details, check the table of supported signals. (P169)

• [Normal] setting
Supports many typical images, including [Single], [1x2], [2x2], and [1x4].

Projecting an Image in the DICOM SIM Mode

In the DICOM simulation mode (hereinafter referred to as “DICOM SIM”), this
projector can project a monochrome medical image such as an X ray radiography,
CT image, MRI image, etc. in the tone similar to the DICOM (Digital Imaging and
Communications in Medicine) standard. Typically, to project the image according to
the DICOM standard, it requires the grayscale tone correction using a luminance
meter according to the environment. In this projector, there are 21 types of tone
settings for various ambient lights. You can correct the tone in a simplified manner
by selecting the DICOM test pattern (P168).
It is suited to project an image in a medical lecture, academic conference, in­hospital conference, etc.

Basic Guide Projection Procedure

This projector is not the display monitor for a medical image. It cannot be used for
the radiological image reading or medical examination.

• It is recommended to check the tone everytime when using this
projector since it does not have the tone correction and
calibration functions against the secular change.

• It may take approximately 30 minutes until the projection
brightness of this projector becomes stabled.

• When a dual-link cable is used, any noise in the signal line may prevent normal
projection. If this occurs, set [DVI dual link auto setting] to [Off].

• In some cases when DVI terminals are used, the cable may not be a good match for
the projector, which may cause video noise or prevent the signal from being
detected. If this occurs, adjust values in each setting from [DVI-1 equalizer setting] to
[DVI-4 equalizer setting].

Adjust the equalizer value for DVI terminals.
Choose lower values for higher amplification, or higher values for lower
amplification.
Example of equalizer settings

• Decrease values to amplify signals that have been attenuated by a
long cable.

• Signals may be too strong if noise occurs when using a short cable, or
when using an active cable, signal corrector, or repeater. If so, increase
values to attenuate and correct the signals.

in single- or dual-link mode and switch settings
