OVERVIEW
LBV00072; Revision A - 25/09/2001
The safety instructions provided in this manual are to ensure the long life of your
projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all
warnings.
Fire and Shock Precautions
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent
potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 20cm (8”) of space between your projector and a wall.
Allow at least 50cm (20”) of space between the ventilation duct outlet and object.
Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does
happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply immediately. Do not operate the
projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector.
Lamp Precautions
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurised environment, there is a small risk of
explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in
proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 1500
hours, the risk of explosion increases.
The projector has a warning system that displays the following message when you
reach 1500 hours of operation - Lamp Running Time is Over 1500 Hours!!. When
you see this message please contact your Digital Projection dealer for a
replacement lamp.
If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the
side of the unit. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon

gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been
exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek
immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes as this could cause
serious injury.
WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to
your eyes could result.
CAUTION: The high pressure lamp may explode if improperly handled. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Power Supply
The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 1.0kW 100-120VAC /
1.5kW 200-240VAC 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement
before attempting to use your projector.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can
cause electric shock or fire.
Running the power cord and the RGB cable close to each other can cause beat
noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.
If the projector is not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug
from the power outlet. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under the
following circumstances, doing so may cause damage to the projector:
a) Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER
indicator has not changed to a steady amber glow).
b) Immediately after the lamp has been switched off. After the projector is turned
off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to operate for 3
minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes.
c) While the hour glass icon or the message ‘Please wait a litttle’ is being displayed.

INSTALLATION
LBV00072; Revision A - 25/09/2001
This installation section explains how to install the projector for optimum results.
To do this, it is necessary to determine the following:
1. The type of screen and whether front or rear projection is to be used.
2. The projector location and therefore the type of lens to be used.
3. The method of mounting for the projector.
4. The type of input source to be used with the projector.
Screen Requirements
As virtually all commercially available screens will give a pleasing image you
should choose according to your individual requirements. However, to achieve
optimum results we recommend a low gain (1.2 - 1.3), non-perforated screen for
front projection, this will keep hot spotting and light loss to a minimum whilst
providing wide viewing angles.
Regardless of the type of screen used, it is important that your screen is of sufficient
height to display the images at the aspect ratios intended to be used. Use the
following tables to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen.
If you have insufficient height, you will have to reduce the overall image size in
order to display the full image on your screen.

Screen Height (metres) Needed to Display Full Image with Aspect Ratio:
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the
screen (see opposite).
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at least
twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen should
be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should be
within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
If you intend to use a rear projection screen you must ensure you have sufficient
distance behind the screen for the projector to be correctly located Rear projection
has the advantage that the projector cannot be seen and higher ambient light levels
can be tolerated. Although the image can be flipped to rear projection and displayed
without the need for extra mirrors or equipment, it makes the installation more
complicated and advice should be sought from your local dealer before attempting
an installation in this way.

and the projector will be in the stand-by mode. The projector can now be turned off
using the main power switch on the rear panel. If the projector is not going to be
used for an extended period it should be disconnected from the mains supply. Do
not turn the projector off and then immediately back on. The Projector needs to cool
down for three minutes before it is powered on again. If you want to turn off the

Lens Memory
This feature stores in memory the values for the lens Shift, Focus and Zoom after
adjustment by the remote control or the main unit controls.
For Example.
In order to display a 4x3 video image and a 5x4 computer image on the same 4x3
aspect ratio screen.
On a 4100gv or 5100gv both the images will occupy the same height and nothing
needs to be done.
On a 4000sx or 6000sx the computer image will fill the height of the DMD™ but
the video image will only fill 90% of the DMD™ height.
In this case it will be necessary to alter the lens zoom to fill the screen for the video
image. This will cause the image focus to change and, if there is any lens shift
employed, will cause the image to move laterally on the screen.
Storing the two lens states in memory will allow the lens to change its position,
focus and zoom for both of these images automatically.
Memorising the setting with no video input will set the reference (default) position for the lens settings.
To memorise a setting.

The projector's arc lamp emits a luminous flux measured in lumens. This flux is
directed at the screen and illuminates it, the illuminance (E) can be measured in Lux
(lumens/m2) or Foot Candles (lumens/ft2). The illuminance of the screen is
calculated by dividing the incident flux by the illuminated screen area.
The brightness of the screen, known as the screen luminance (B) is determined by
the amount of light reflected from it (or transmitted through it if using a rear
projection screen). If the screen is diffuse, the incident light is reflected into a
hemisphere. If the screen has a reflectivity (R), the screen luminance in candela/m
2
is given by (R x E) / π, where E is measured in Lux. If E is measured in FootCandles, the screen luminance is in Foot-Lamberts, and is given by R x E.
Examples:
1) A 6' x 4' 6" diffuse screen, with a reflectivity of 0.8 is illuminated by a projector
emitting 3000 lumens.
The screen illuminance (E) = F / A = 3000 / 27 = 111 Foot-Candles
The screen luminance (B) = R x E = 0.8 x 111 = 89 Foot Lamberts
2) A 4m x 3m screen with a reflectivity of 0.85 is illuminated by a projector
emitting 3500 lumens.
The screen illuminance (E) = F / A = 3500 / 12 = 292 Lux
The screen luminance (B) = (R x E) / π = (0.85 x 292) / π = 79 Candela/m

A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator and
utilises 786,432 (gv) or 1,310,720 (sx) moving aluminium mirrors, with each one
representing a pixel in the final projected image. Each mirror is suspended over
address electrodes by a torsion hinge between two posts. Depending on the voltage
polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt to left or to the right. When light is
applied to the complete DMD™, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to
the left is projected.
The projector optically filters white light from the lamp into its constituent red,
green and blue. Each colour illuminates a separate DMD™ whose modulated output
is then recombined with the other two to form the projected full colour image.

DMDs™
The mirrors in the DMD™ are arranged in a 1024 x 768 (gv) or 1280 x 1024 (sx)
array allowing images of all aspect ratios to be displayed. However, the proportion
of DMD™ effectively used will differ depending on the aspect ratio of the image
e.g. a 5 x 4 aspect ratio on a 5100gv would only require the use of 960 x 768 mirrors. The diagrams below show the DMD™ usage for each aspect ratio (4 x 3, 5 x 4,
8 x 5, 14 x 9 and 16 x 9) with the shaded areas representing redundant mirrors.

Up to three HIGHlite Displays projectors can be stacked without any additional
framing (gravity stacking). One unit can be stacked on top of the other up to three
units. Make sure that each foot is securely seated on the stacking pad.
Connection Instructions
To connect multiple projectors use the supplied DVI-D cable to connect the RGB
DIGITAL output (INPUT 9) of the master projector to the RGB DIGITAL input of
the slave projector (the second and third stack) until all the projectors are connected.

Next, using a commercially available, bi-directional RS-232C cable connect the
OPTION OUT terminal of the master projector to the OPTION IN terminal of the
slave projector(s) until all the projectors are connected.
OPTICAL AND MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT
Place the projectors at the proper height for best screen to projector relationship and
ensure that all projectors have the same display orientation. Next, turn on all the
projectors and display the internal crosshatch test pattern using a different single
colour for each projector e.g. turn on green for the master projector, red for the first
slave projector and blue of the other second slave projector.

Setting up for Double or Triple Stacking
Adjust the lens shift, zoom and focus to clearly display all projected patterns.
If the vertical alignment of the projector(s) is incorrect, adjust the height of the
feet. If there is any keystone distortion, use Keystone adjustment to correct and
save the settings on each projector.
SIGNAL DATA PREPARATION
When stacking multiple projectors each projector should be configured to display
the input image in exactly the same manner. This requires configuring the master
projector for each input signal type, adjusting the image and copying it to the slave
projectors using a PC card as follows:
1. Choose one projector to be the master projector and turn it on.
2. Display all the desired input signals adjusting each signal to provide an optimum
image and place the master projector in standby mode.
3. Remove the PC Card slot decorative panel and insert a PC card into the slot.
4. Press and hold CANCEL, then press POWER on the rear panel of the master
projector. The POWER indicator will change to steady green and the PC Card
Access indicator will start flashing. The data will be automatically stored on the
PC card and the POWER indicator will change to amber.
5. Remove the PC card from the slot of the master projector. With the slave
projector in standby, insert the PC card into the slot of a slave projector.
Since data in the slave projectors will be lost at this time, make backup copies of
them before proceeding.
6. Press and hold ENTER, then press MENU on the rear panel of the slave
projector. The POWER indicator will change to steady green and the PC Card
