Boxer 2K accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens,
The
typical in commercial or other large screen applications.
High-brightness light is generated by mercury vapor lamps, then modulated by three Digital
Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue
color information. As these digital streams flow from the source, light from the responding “on” pixels
of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through one or more projection
lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color images.
List of components
Verify all components were received with the projector.
•Power cord for full brightness, multi-lamp operation
•Power cord for limited power, single lamp operation
•IR remote keypad
Site requirements
To safely install and operate the projector, the installation location must have restricted access for
authorized personnel only and meet these minimum requirements.
Physical operating environment
Provides specifications for the operating environment.
•Ambient temperature (operating) 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) up to 1500 ft
•Humidity (non-condensing) 10 to 80%
•Operating altitude: 10,000 ft maximum at 5 to 25 degrees Celsius ambient
Power connection
The projector uses an innovative dual AC inlet power system that offers two power modes.
To operate at full brightness (six lamps), power the projector using AC Input 1 if the appropriate high
power source is available. To operate in limited power mode (single lamp), power the projector using
standard lower power sources using AC Input 2. A different power cord is provided for each power
source. A 30A rated wall breaker is required at the installation when using Input 1. A 15A rated wall
breaker is required at the installation when using Input 2.

Adjusting primary colors
Calibrate the accuracy of primary colors, which can change because of lighting and environmental
factors.
All primary colors in the projector are precisely set to pre-established values to ensure overall color
performance is optimized and is as accurate as possible. Lighting and other environmental factors may
slightly change how these colors appear on your screen. While the change is negligible in most cases,
you may prefer to recover the originally intended color performance before trying to match colors from
several projectors.
To achieve consistency use a color meter to measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and
white—as they appear on the screen. On the basis of these new values, which are stored in memory,
each projector automatically calculates any necessary corrections to reproduce the original factory
colors under the current environmental conditions. This essentially calibrates a projector to its
surroundings, compensating for factors such as screen type, lamp and/or ambient lighting, and
improves color accuracy and consistency in a group of projectors. It ensures a good starting point for
further customizing and matching; however, is not critical for all installations.
1. From the display panel, select MENU > Admin > Service.

Correcting the shape of a keystoned image
Keystone effect occurs when you project an image onto the screen at an angle and the projector is not
centered on the screen. The image appears distorted and resembles a trapezoid.
To correct the shape of a keystoned image, use the keystone options available in the geometry
correction menu. Perform coarse keystone adjustments by using the horizontal or vertical settings. It
may not be possible to match the screen dimensions with the horizontal and vertical keystone controls
but you can refine these settings by adjusting the 2D keystone settings.

7. To determine the starting channel for this projector, in the Base Channel field, adjust the value
between 1 and 488.
If multiple projectors are used on the same universe and are to be controlled independently,
this value must be changed. For example, if both projectors are using the Shutter (20
channels), projector 1 should start at base channel 1 and projector 2 should start at base
channel 21.

9. Select Enable Art-Net.
10. To enable the Art-Net functionality, select Enter.
The Generic Purpose Input Output (GPIO) provides a flexible method of interfacing with external
devices to the projector.
The GPIO is configured to automate real time events. Each of the seven pins is defined as either an
input or output depending on the required outcome. The remaining two pins are reserved for ground
and power.
Configure the pin as an input if you want the projector to respond to something the device does and
as an output if you want the external device to respond to an action taken by the projector. For
example, configure the pin as an output if you want the lighting in a room to automatically dim when
the projector is turned on.
This feature is only available on the web interface.
1. From the home page of the web interface, select MENU > Macros and GPIO.
2.
Select GPIO Configuration.
3. In the GPIO Configuration dialog under Update the New Configuration, toggle the pins you
want active for the input and output.
A blue pin indicates input and a green pin indicates output.
