2.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
NOTE: Voltage and current requirements are listed on the license label, located at the back of the projector.
IMPORTANT
Connect the projector's line cord to the AC receptacle at the AC inlet of the projector, then push the wire clip over the
plug to retain it. This prevents the line cord from inadvertent disconnection. Plug the 3-pronged plug end into a
suitably rated grounded AC receptacle. Switch the projector ON. The switch is located just above the AC receptacle.
Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord is not within the specified ratings. On power down, wait
5-10 minutes for the fans to turn OFF before unplugging the projector. Always switch off the projector before
unplugging the AC line cord..
2.5 Powering Up
After the AC Power has been switched on, the LCD display above the keypad indicates “Please wait” and the 4 LED
status indicators on the top cover window switch on to amber. These indicate that the projector is changing its state
from powered down to standby. The message “Standby Mode” appears in the display when the projector has
completed its initialization and is ready for power up. The 2 lamp status LEDs will go off to indicate that the lamps
are off. The Power status LED will show amber, indicating that the projector is in standby mode. The shutter LED will
display amber, indicating the shutter is closed. Press and hold the power button on the keypad or remote for 2
seconds, or press twice quickly. The lamps will power on and the fans will come on.
The default settings for the projector are to perform a lens calibration after the insertion of a new lens. If this
is the first time the projector has been powered up with the lens, expect a short period (about 15 seconds)
where the lens will move slightly.
2.6 Connecting a Source
Located at the back of the projector is the input panel where all source connections are made. Each input is labeled
for easy identification. Depending on the type of option card installed, connect your source using the appropriate
cable(s), as follows:
• Analog Input Card, connect 3-, 4-, or 5-wire RGB source to Red/Pr, Green/Y, Blue/Pb, H/C and V using 3, 4 or 5
BNC connectors as required.
• Dual Link DVI Input Card, connect a single or dual DVI video signal to the DVI-I connector, an analog video
signal to the DVI-I connector or an analog video signal to the VGA connector. The DVI signal may contain HDCP
(High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
•Twin HDMI Input Card, connect HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable to one of the two inputs, 1-IN
or 2-IN.
• Dual SD/HD - SDI Input Card, connect SDI (Serial Digital Interface) cable to one of the two inputs, 1-IN or 2-IN.
Both standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) signals are accepted and automatically recognized on
either input.
• Standard Video Card, depending on the source you can apply the following:
1) Composite video source to 1-CVBS, using a BNC Cable
2) A component signal on Inputs 4(Pr), 5(Y), 6(Pb) using BNC Connectors.
3) S-Video to one of the two, 2-SVID or 3-SVID using S-Video cable.

2.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
4) S-Video using two BNC cables, with Luma (Y) connected to 4 (Sy) and Chroma (C) connected to 6 (Sc).
2.7 Projector Distance, Offset Setting and Mounting
Throw Distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector’s front feet to the screen. This calculation determines
if there is enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size
To estimate the throw distance take the horizontal width of the screen and multiply it by the lens throw ratio. The
result determines approximately the distance the projector should be positioned from the screen to project a
focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, using a 0.67:1 Throw Ratio lens, throw distance (D)
would roughly be 0.67 (TR) x Screen base width (B).
Screen base width (B)
Throw distance (D)
Throw distance
Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw distance can vary ±5% between
lenses with the same nominal throw ratio
Refer to APPENDIX “Appendix: Projection Distances”, page 93 for screen size and projection distances
tables.
Ver tical and Horizontal Position
The correct vertical and horizontal position of the projector in relation to the screen depends on the lens type and
the screen size. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen to avoid any keystone
correction and to obtain the best picture possible.
The vertical position of the image can be offset (that is moved above or below the optical axis) by adjusting the
motorized lens mount. The amount of vertical offset available depends on the type of lens installed in the projector
and can be limited if horizontal offset has been applied.
Vertical offset can be expressed as the percent of the image height or the number of pixels of shift from lens center.
0% offset 50% offset
• When no offset is applied, the image is centered with the lens center.
• When 50% offset is applied, the image is shifted above the center of the lens by an half of the total image height.

Note: These values depend of the projection lens used. Refer to chart below or ask your dealer for more
information.
The horizontal position of the image can also be offset. The image is moved to the left or right of optical center. The
amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically
offset. Horizontal offset can be expressed as the percent the image width or the number of pixels of shift to one side
of lens center.

The projector can also be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and fixed in a rotated position without affecting
performance. However, the side-to-side tilt limit of the projector must not exceed +/-15 degrees, to ensure optimal
performance of the projector.

2.9 Adjusting Projector Height/Tilt
Adjusting Height
You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly uneven mounting surface by adjusting the three feet
threaded into the bottom chassis. Turn each foot clock-wise or counter-clockwise until the projector is level on all
sides.
The front feet are adjusted by turning the collar. The front feet do not rotate when adjusted. The rear foot is adjusted
by turning the entire foot.
Adjusting Tilt
• Before adjusting tilt, ensure the projector is centered.
NOTE: Check with site personnel for the degree of screen tilt, or measure this incline with a protractor at the screen.
• Then tilt the projector to closely match the screen tilt angle by extending or retracting the projector’s 3 adjustable
feet.
2.10 Basic Optical Alignment
Only perform image alignment once the projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final location. Basic
image alignment ensures the image projected is parallel to and well-centered with the lens and screen. This initial
optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing images on the screen and must be completed before final
boresight adjustments. Before beginning ensure the projector is properly positioned relative to the screen.
Basic Optical Alignment Procedure
1) Display a test pattern: Appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as the “framing” test pattern
showing the cross-hair centered across the image. Press the TEST key on the remote keypad or use the built-in
keypad and press the soft key that displays Test on the LCD display.
2) Course focus: Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens. Do not
worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. It is good practice to have zoom

3) If necessary, center the image on the screen: If the projector is mounted off center to the screen axis, then
offset the lens as much as required. Aim the projector over slightly towards the center of the screen, but use
caution when doing so, as too much tilt will cause excessive keystone distortion. Lens offset will not.

or if the lens will not focus over the correct range of throw distances, then the boresight requires coarse
adjustment, go to step 8.
8) The original factory boresight can be recovered approximately by positioning the 3 setscrews. Position the
setscrews flush with the front face of the lens mount plate and in contact with the inner lens mount plate. This may
require adjusting both setscrews and capscrews.
9) If further action is required. Repeat step 2.
10) Lock the setscrews, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the setscrew enough to ensure they will not
shift.

•Front & Rear IR sensors
The two IR sensors located on the projector receive transmissions from the IR remote from up to 30 meters (100
feet) away. It is important to keep the transmission path to these sensors unobstructed for uninterrupted
communications with the projector. The rear IR sensor is located at the back of the projector between the status
LEDs and the front IR sensor is located next to the projector’s front nameplate.
•Projection lenses, Lens Mount and Other Features
The projector includes a motorized lens mount that allows automated lens control and adjustment: vertical and
horizontal offsets, zoom and focus. The lens mount can be fitted with any one of the available optional lenses.
• Zoom and Focus – There are two internal lens motors that allow for quick motorized adjustment of zoom and
focus. Adjust zoom to fit the displayed image on the screen and adjust focus to improve the clarity of the image.
NOTES:
1) The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector.
2) Motorized lenses should not be adjusted by hand without first setting them for manual operation, otherwise the
zoom and focus motors may be damaged. (Set in Menu>Configuration>Lens Settings>Manual Zoom/Focus).
• Lens Offset. The motorized lens mount allows vertical and horizontal offset of the displayed image.
• Shutter. It allows you to turn the screen absolutely black when in the “Closed” state.
• Dynamic Iris Contrast Aperture. It enables adjustment of light output and contrast ratio.
3.2 User Interface Overview
The projector can be controlled via a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system can be controlled by
an IR remote, wired remote or through the built-in keypad.
The LCD screen and built-in keypad allow some functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and
provide a quickly accessible interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be controlled using
RS-232 / RS-422 / Web interface by using a serial or Ethernet connection to the projector. The Web interface
provides access to the menu system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen display) and to maintain the projector’s software
and settings.
3.3 Projector Control and Communications
Remote Keypads
To control the projector, direct the projector’s IR remote towards the display screen or the projector’s IR sensors.
Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the XLR connector labeled as WIRED KEYPAD on
the projector’s input panel.
Remote Keypad
NOTE: The response to a wired keypad must also be enabled in the Communications menu— see “WEB USER
INTERFACE”, page 71 for more information.
As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or
other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS-232 and RS-422).

Serial Port Connections
RS-232 and RS-422, serial ports available on the projector: You can connect a device with a serial interface, such
as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial
communication commands.
Connecting RS-232
Tw o nine-pin D-sub connectors, labeled RS-232 IN and RS-232 OUT on the input panel, are dedicated to serial
communication, see figure below. Using the appropriate serial communication cables, connect the controlling
source, such as a personal computer to the RS-232 IN connector. Set the projector baud rate to match that of the
computer. See “Serial Options - Submenu”, page 61 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.

Connecting Multiple Projectors
RS-232 NETWORK: To connect multiple projectors in a network with serial communication:
1) Connect the controlling source to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network.
2) Using another serial communication cable, connect one end to the RS-232 OUT connector and the other end
to the RS-232 IN connector of the next projector.
3) Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network. NOTE: The last projector in the network
will only have a connection to the RS-232 IN connector.
•Mixed Network
To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an RS-422 interface:
•1. Set them all to the same baud rate as your RS-422 controller. NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS-232 in the Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS-232 and RS-422
Joined”, see Section 4 Web User Interface.
•2. Chain the projectors together by connecting an RS-232 OUT (Null Cable) of the first projector (already
connected to the computer/controller through the RS-422 port straight thru to an RS-232 IN on the next
projector in the chains). Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in
the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused port RS-232 OUT, see Figure 2-22 Mixed Network.
RS-422
Computer
Communication parameters, such as baud rate, must be set to match the particular controlling device, before
connecting as a network—refer to the documentation that came with your controlling device to determine the proper
baud rate. See Section 3 Operation for help changing the projector baud rate. To communicate to all projectors, set
the Network Routing to “RS-232 and RS-422 Joined”.
NOTES:
1) Connect only properly wired serial communication cables.
2) Each RS-232 communication cable should be no more than 50 feet in length. Use high quality cables.

Changing the port number#
On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port number of the projector be changed from
its default of 3002. If so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port#.
Separating Networks
By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS-232 vs. RS-422 vs. Ethernet— stay
on the corresponding network path. A “Separate” setting indicates this separation for “Network Routing” in the
Communications menu, see “WEB USER INTERFACE”, page 71. If you are using an RS-422 controller, for
example, it will communicate only with the projector to which it is connected unless you change this setting to either
“RS-232 and RS-422 Joined” or “All Joined”.
• Communicating to all Ports
To relay all messages to all ports—RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet—set the “Network Routing” option in the
Communications menu for each projector to “All Joined”, see “WEB USER INTERFACE”, page 71. This
configuration is useful if you are using a non-RS-232 controller with the RS-232 linking available between these
projectors. For example, you may want to use both an RS-422-compatible controller and an Ethernet connected PC
for working with a network of projectors linked via their RS-232 in/out ports.
To isolate just RS-422 communications, select “RS-232 and Ethernet Joined”.
To isolate just Ethernet communications, select “RS-232 and RS-422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond via
Ethernet.

5.0 REMOTE CONTROL
5.0 REMOTE CONTROL
This section describes the controls and switches used for basic projector operation once it is properly installed,
aligned and configured.
5.1 Using the Remote Keypad or Built-In Keypad
The projector is typically controlled using one of the following keypads:
• Remote Keypad for wired or wireless control up to 25 feet (8m) away (includes cable for use as a wired remote).
The remote keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a batterypowered infrared
(IR) transmitter. Use the remote keypad the same way you would use a remote keypad supplied with a TV or
VCR. When pressing a function key, direct the keypad toward the projector’s front or rear IR sensor. One of the
two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signal and relay the commands for internal processing. A laser
pointer is built into the remote keypad. See Figure “Remote Keypad”, page 28.
• Built-in Keypad located at the side of the projector, see Figure “Built-in Keypad with LCD”, page 32.
While each of the keypads provides complete control of the projector, they differ slightly in their arrangement of keys
and in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than requiring use of the menu system. You
may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.
5.2 Guide to Keypads
Keep these guidelines (common to both keypads) in mind:
• Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required.
NOTE: Use POWER, SHUTTER, and OSD functions by doing one of the following: “press-and-hold” (2 seconds) or
press twice quickly, followed by pressing either the UP ARROW KEY to switch on or the DOWN ARROW KEY to
switch off once.
• Arrow keys are held down for continuous adjustment/movement in the related key direction. NOTE: In serial
networks, pause briefly between adjustments to make sure that more distant projectors can “keep up” with the
commands. If you press a key while the projector is still responding to the previous action, such as during power-up,
the second key press may not take effect.
Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. DO NOT look directly into the beam of the
laser.
Wired Remote Keypad
You can convert the Remote Keypad into a wired remote keypad using the cable provided with the projector.
Connect one end into the remote and the other to the XLR connector on the input panel labeled [wired keypad]. The
wired remote is recommended when:
• The built-in keypad is inaccessible
• The lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission
You should leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser pointer key to work.

You must use an unlocked channel present to use Auto Setup.
The best auto setup will be obtained under the following conditions:
• Input levels, it is best to have an image with saturated (very bright) colors.
• Phase, high contrast edges are needed.
To determine active window size:
• Video images should have whites and blacks in the image.
• Wide range video images should have content (including white) that extends to all edges of the image. Refer to
Section 3.5 Adjusting the Image for further details about the Auto Setup function.
• Channel
Select a specific source setup (channel) defined and stored in projector memory. Once you enter a two-digit
channel number (or, if there is a list displayed, highlight it and press ENTER), the display will automatically change
and update according to the numerous setup parameters defined for that channel.
NOTES: 1) A new channel is automatically created if you adjust an image from a new source. 2) CHANNEL key
behavior during a presentation depends on whether or not the Display Channel List option is enabled in the Menu
Preferences menu. You can choose to use a scrollable list of channels when you press CHANNEL, or you may

amount of signal. The proper setting helps maintain optimized blacks and whites while ensuring a smooth transition
