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.

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
LBV00063; Revision A - 01/02/2000
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.

Positioning the Projector
Correct positioning of the projector is essential to achieve the best results. Before
deciding on the final location of the projector please ensure you read the following
information very carefully.
The projector must be situated in a clean, dry environment and away from direct
sunlight or heat. Make sure you locate the projector so that the air inlets and
outlets for the cooling system are not obstructed.
When positioning the projector always carry it by the retractable handles provided.
The handles pull out from the bottom of the projector and click into place. To
retract the handles, push the securing lever to unlock and push back (see below).
Ensure that the power cord and any other cables connecting to video sources are
disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is
not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

adjustments made using the cursor buttons on the remote control. When the bar is
set at 0, video filtering is Off. High filtering is applied when the bar is set to 1/3rd.
When the bar is at 2/3rds, medium filtering is applied and when set to full, low
filtering is applied. The appropriate filter value should be selected to give the best
image for your input signal.
Color Temperature
This feature allows adjustment the color temperature using a slide bar.
OPERATION
White Balance
This feature adjusts the white balance for each input signal.
For Video/RGB signals the brightness for each color (RGB) is used to adjust the
black level of the screen and the contrast for each color adjusts the white level of
the screen.
For Y/Cb/Cr the brightness for each color (Y/Cb/Cr) is used to adjust the white
level of the screen and the contrast for each color is used to adjust the black level of
the screen.

Screen Illuminance
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
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.
Advanced User Information
2
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 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.

Up to three HIGHlite 5000GV 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.
Stacking Instructions
To connect multiple projectors connect the supplied DFP cable to 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
