Introduction

How the projector works

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.
