Introduction
The WN- 5230- S is a 52- inch (132 cm) diagonal 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution
rear-projection display system designed around Texas Inst r um ents’ proprietary
Digital Light Processing™ ( DLP)™ t e chnology. The display features low power
consumption, long lamp life and excellent focus and geometry with a sharp
true-to-life color spect r um.
The display utilizes the same modular form factor as the company's other
award winning, VideoWall display products, while providing t he benefits of DLP
technology. The WN-5230-S offers consist ent color and brightness uniformit y
across the high-contrast screen, and doesn’t have the color dr ift, image
retention, or convergence problems associated with CRT based r ear-projection
systems.
The WN- 5230-S provides the same high image quality, reliability, light weight
and brightness levels typical of Clarity display products.
Features
• optical resolution of 800x600 pixels
• low 160 watt power consumption
• long 8,000 hour average lamp life
• superior image quality (even in high ambient light conditions)
• light weight – 120 pounds (55 kg)
• thin – 30.6 inches (77.7 cm)
• improved brightness uniformity (no “ hot spots”)
• consistent colors displayed on adjacent modules
• no color drifting
• no convergence problems

Options and Accessories
Clarity’s display products can be upgraded with several accessories. See your
reseller or visit www.ClarityVisual.c om fo r a current listing of available options.
! Ultra-Thin Mullion Screen – There are three screen
options:
• The standard screen has a mullion 1/8
The mullion is a strip of sheet metal surrounding the
screen which holds it in place.
• The Ultra-Thin Mullion Screen, or mullionless scr een,
does not have the 1/8” (3 mm) strip of sheet metal
around the screen. The edge of t he scr een goes right
to the edge of the display unit, which mak es t he lines
between display units almost invisible in the finished
video wall.
• BlackScreen™, a mullionless screen as above, but
with a higher contrast ratio.
! S/300 - Video Input Module
This adds three new inputs – composite and S-video in
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM – and a 15.75 kHz line-doubling
capability for RGBS.
”
(3 mm) wide.
! Clarity’s Big Picture™
Big Picture spreads a single video source over an entire
video wall, eliminating the need for an external processor.
(All display units in the video wall must have this option.)
The S/300 option, above, is included with Big Picture.
! SRT-100 Screen Removal Tool
This tool makes it easy to rem ove the nor mal mullion
screens when the displays are used in video walls, where
units are placed directly adjacent to each other. The SRT100 minimizes the chance of damaging the screen and the
screen’s latches. (Used with standard mullion screens
only.)
! SAT-500 Screen Alignment Tool
This tool is essential to properly position the display units
with the Ultra-Thin Mullion Screen in a video wall. It
assures the correct spacing between adjacent screens in
the assembled video wall. (Used with Ultra-Thin Mullion
screens only.)
! BAS-520 Base for the WN-5230-S
The BAS-520 provides a permanent attachment to
flooring.

Make sure that any power cord substituted for the power cord originally
supplied with the display is compatible with the nominal power source used
with the WN-5230-S.
WN-5230-S VideoWall User’s Guide
Power Consumption
Typical power consumption of the WN-5230-S is 160 Watts, but the
maximum potential of 200 Watts should be used for calculat ing the load on
the power source. At 200 Watts the current draw is approximately 1.7 Amps
at 115 VAC (0.9 Amps at 230 VAC).
Voltage Range
The WN- 5230- S will operate between 100 and 240 volts AC at 50/60Hz.
Since the power module is auto ranging, there is no manual selector switch.
The main power switch on the power module also acts a circuit
breaker. If power to t he display is lost, check the power/breaker
switch by turning it off and then back on.
The power switch is a lighted switch. W hen it is lit, it indicates that the
AC power is applied and the power switch is on.
WARNING Displays that are intended for 240V configuration must have a
properly rated power supply cord and attachment plug supplied
by the installer.
WARNING
If extension cords are used f or power, ensure that only 3-prong
grounded cords sized to handle system power requirements are
used. Using the wrong-size extension cord can cause a firesafety hazard and can reduce the voltage available to the
WN-5230-S. If the extension cord is warm to the touch it is t oo
small and should be immediately removed from operation.
WARNUNG
Falls für die Stromversorgung Verlängerungskabel benutzt
werden, achten Sie bitte darauf, daß nur geerdete, dreipolige und
für die vorgesehene Leistungsaufnahme ausgelegte Netzkabel
benutzt werden. Die Verwendung eines unterdimensionierten
Verlängerungskabels stellt eine pot entielle Feuersgefahr dar und
kann dazu führen, daß die für den WN-5230-S Video-Monitor
verfügbare Spannung zu gering ist. Falls das
Verlängerungskabel sich f ühlbar er wärmt , heißt das, daß das
Verlängerungskabel unterdim ensionier t ist. Es muß dann sofort
aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden.
WARNING Hazardous voltages inside the display and power module can
shock, burn and cause death. Only the WN-5230-S lamp and air
filter are user serviceable. Always turn off and disconnect power
before servicing these items. Refer all other service to a qualif ied
service center. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock,
ultraviolet radiation burns, contact heat bur ns, serious injury, or
irreparable damage to the WN-5230-S and may void your factory
warranty.

WARNUNG Im Innern des Monitors liegt gefähr liche Hochspannung an. Falls
Sie unter Hochspannung stehende Teile berühren, können Sie
einen elektrischen Schlag erhalten bzw. Verbrennungen oder

Temperature and Humidity
The WN- 5230- S is designed to operate over an ambient temperatur e range
of 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F) and between humidity of 20 to 80 % R.H. noncondensing.
The air that cools the display and the warm exhaust air is passed through the
back of the WN-5230-S. This area should not be blocked. If the display
becomes overheated, permanent damage to t he pr oduct may result.
Some types of environmental lighting , such as incandescent, or high intensity
discharge lamps such as metal halide or mercur y vapor lamps, cr eat e high
temperatures and this can cause excessive heating of the WN-5230-S. The
displays should be positioned far enough away from high- t emperature lights
to prevent heat buildup.
Nearby heat sources can cause high operating temper at ur es in the WN5230-S. Minimize the display’s exposure to heating ducts, radiators, or other
external heat sources.
Flooring
A typical WN-5230-S weight s appr oximat ely 120 lbs. ( 55 kg). Before
installing the WN-5230-S, determine the str uct ural integrity of the flooring
where it will be used. The floor should be level and strong enough to suppor t
the combined weight of the number of displays and other equipment used in
the installation. Take special care when installing a WN-5230-S in a wall
configuration on a temporar y str uct ur e such as a st age floor, where the
flooring could bend or collapse under the weight of the installation. The
maximum number of WN-5230-S’s stacked vertically in a wall configuration

Normal maintenance, such as lamp and air f ilter replacement, can be
performed from either the front or r ear of the WN-5230-S. However, the units
with Ultra-Thin Mullion screens are serviceable only from the rear. A
minimum of 4 feet of clearance is recommended for easy fr ont access and
for easy rear access a minimum of 3 feet is recommended.
WN-5230-S VideoWall User’s Guide
To allow proper cooling, the minimum required clearance to the rear of t he
Unit is 4 inches.
If installed in a video wall configuration, a minimum of 12 inches to the ceiling
from the top of t he highest display is needed if the units are installed from the
front.
Cables and Signals
Video connections from the signal source t o t he display depend on the t ype
of signal supplied by the source. The compat ible dat a inputs are: PC
800x600 (SVGA), PC 640x480 (VGA), MAC 800X600 or 640X480, 31.5 kHz
and 15.75 kHz (progressive scan) RGBS video, composite video, and
S-video.
The Loop-Thru video output uses a standard 15 pin VGA type connector for
output to an external computer monitor or t o anot her WN-5230-S. The format
of the Loop-Thru video is same as the source video.
The video cables used should be high quality and shielded to insure the best
image quality when displayed. VGA and MAC will have RGB with separate HSync and V-Sync. RGBS video will come out RGBS with the composite sync
on the connector’s H-Sync pin. RGB Sync on Green sources will loop-thru
RGBS-Sync on Green. Displays with the VIM-300 option also have
Composite Video and S-Video loop-thru connectors.
Using poor quality cables can lead to picture noi se, j itter and crosstalk.
Even good quality cables that are longer than 10 feet may produce
noise and jitter in the image if t he source si gnal s are not amplified.
Control data enters the display via the RS-232 In connection, and is supplied
to an adjacent display (if used) via the RS-232 Out connect or. High quality
shielded cables designed for RS-232 communication should be used t o
ensure proper data transmission and control. The wiring of the RS-232
cables must be straight through (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc…) and not
wired for “null modem”.

Optical Alignment
Tools
3/8 inch socket driver
Optical Alignment means to the adjust the size and position of the image and
to correct for k eyst oning and rotation. Before installing a display, check it to
verify that the image is optically aligned.
When thinking about the optical calibration process, here ar e some things to
remember:
• The critical dimension during calibration is the distance from the

corner is a little longer, that part of the image will expand more; if
shorter, that part will be smaller.
1. Make the image rectangular. Don’t worry at first about size or
placement. Just make it have four square corners.
2. Adjust rotation, so that t he edges of the image are parallel with the
edges of the screen.

3. Adjust size, making the image fill the screen. In standar d m ullion
screens, this means hiding three pixels behind each mullion. With
Ultra-Thin Mullion screens, hide one pixel at each edge.
4. Adjust position, left and right, up and down.
• In most cases, only slight adj ust m ents are required, usually just
position. Don’t try to adjust anything that doesn’t need it.

WN-5230-S VideoWall User’s Guide
For an image that is way out of alignment and that needs major adjustment, start with
everything in a “normal” position:
• If the screen is Ult r a- Thin Mullion, remove the screen and check that
all the pointed alignment bolts are at t he sam e distance. Put the
shipping shim behind each bolt and tighten the bolt t o it. (Later, when
building a wall, make sure that the main chassis of the cubes are
aligned. It is a mistake to m ove the screens in and out a great
distance with the pointed alignment bolts to compensat e for main
chassis that are not even with each other. Moving these bolts a lot will
change the image size, because the lens-to-scr een dist ance
changes.)
• Each corner of the optical engine mount should start at the same
distance out. Factory default is 3 cm, but any distance near t his
amount will do a good job. Make a block of wood that is 3 cm t hick
and use it as a gauge at the four corners of the metal engine mount.
Then adjust S1, 2, 3, and 4 to make the engine mount just touch t he
block.
• Adjust the lens screws, LS1 and LS2, so they are part way in. As
these screws turn out, eventually they reach a point where the spring
no longer pushes the lens toward the screw. Have the lens in a
middle position, so that the spring is pressed som e, but not as much
as half way.
Adjusting the Image
There are four nuts on the engine mounting plate,
S1, S2, S3, and S4. Adjust these in pairs and turn
them equal amounts.

To fix this, tighten nuts S1 and S3 equal amounts to
make the top larger. This will also raise the image, so
you will have to use the lens adjustment later to

Mechanical Setup
The mechanical setup is broken down into three processes - the physical
assembly of the wall, the attachment of cables to each display and the
setting of each display’s number, or address, in the wall. The WN-5230- S
comes with either a standard screen, an Ultra-T hin Mullion Screen, or a
Blackscreen™. (Blackscreen has the same dimensions as the Ultra-Thin
Mullion.)
