Rev F July 2014
The HIGHlite Projector Control Utility
The HIGHlite Projector Control Utility provides an
intuitive interface to enable control of many of the
features of the projector from a personal computer, via a
LAN connection.
Because the projector is not equipped with an
on-screen display, most of the features are only
available from external control applications such as this.
When the Utility is started, the Info page will display
immediately.
The page buttons are always visible at the side of the
display. Use the page buttons to navigate.
If the projector is able to connect to the computer, you
will see the screen shown here. (In the example, the
projector is ON.)
The PWR button
• Click PWR to switch the projector into STANDBY
mode. The button will turn red.
• Click PWR to switch the projector on. The button
will turn green.
Notes
To use the HIGHlite Projector
Control Utility, the Java Runtime
Environment software must be
installed on your computer. This
software can be downloaded free of
charge from www.java.com.
The LAN IP Address of the
projector can be found on the
Discover page of the Utility.
The Utility can be used to control
only one projector at a time, and
only one instance can be running at
one time.
More than one computer should
be used to control more than one
projector on the same network.
Some information, such as
temperature, is not available when
the projector is in STANDBY mode.

7. Hinge the lamp door back into the closed position.
Tighten the two retaining screws.
Notes
Always allow the lamp to cool for
5 minutes before:
- disconnecting the power
- moving the projector
- changing a lamp module
There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the lamp module.
Replace the whole module.
Use only lamps supplied by
Digital Projection and intended
for this projector. Fitting any
other lamp could damage both
projector and lamp, and will
invalidate the warranty.
At the end of a lamp life the lamp will
not strike and the ERROR indicator
on the control panel will ash red.
(Typical lamp life is 2000 hours.)
Do not use the lamp for more than
2000 hours as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the
lamp module and cause extra
cost on replacement.
Take care not to touch the glass
surface of the lamp module. If
you touch the glass, it should be
cleaned before use.
HID lamps produce high intensity
light. Do not look directly at
the light coming from the lamp
housing or the lens.
Opening the lamp door will switch
the projector OFF. The projector
cannot be operated until the door is
fully closed.

Screen Requirements
Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specied by their diagonal size (D). When dealing
with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more
convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes into width and
height, at various aspect ratios.
2.35:1 (Scope)
W = D x 0.92 H = D x 0.39
1.85:1
W = D x 0.88 H = D x 0.47
16:9 = 1.78:1 (native aspect ratio for 1080p projectors)
W = D x 0.87 H = D x 0.49
1.66:1 (Vista)
W = D x 0.86 H = D x 0.52
16:10 = 1.6:1 (native aspect ratio for WUXGA projectors)
W = D x 0.85 H = D x 0.53
Notes
D = diagonal
W = width
H = height

Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of sufcient height and
width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are
planning to use.
Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations
below to check that you are able to display the full image
on your screen. If you have insufcient height or width,
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to
display the full image on your screen.

16:10 = 1.6:1
(native aspect ratio for WUXGA projectors)
W = H x 1.6, H = W x 0.625

Positioning the screen and projector
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a at surface
perpendicular to the oor. The bottom of the screen should be 1.2 m
(4 ft) above the oor and the front row of the audience should not
have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the screen.
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.
Notes
The projector should be installed
as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be
easily accessible, so that it can
be disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least
30 cm (12 in.) of space between
the ventilation outlets and any
wall, and 10 cm (4 in.) on all other
sides.
Do not install the projector close
to anything that might be affected
by its operational heat, for
instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.
The image can be ipped for rear
projection (see Image Page in the
Operating Guide) and displayed
without the need for extra mirrors or
equipment.
However, you must ensure that
there is sufcient distance behind
the screen for the projector to be
correctly located.
Rear installation is generally more
complicated and advice should be
sought from your local dealer before
attempting it.

Your screen is 4.5m wide and you wish to place the projector
approximately 11m from the screen. The throw ratio will then be
11
4.5
= 2.44
2. Match the result with the lens table.
The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1
zoom lens.
3. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The range quoted for the 2.17 - 2.90 : 1 zoom lens is 2.7 -
15.4m. The required distance of 11m is within the range.

Full lens calculation
Introducing TRC
The choice of lens will affect the image size and will address discrepancies between the
DMD™ resolution and the source.
When an image lls the height of the DMD™ but not the width, it uses less than 100% of
the DMD™ surface. A lens chosen using the basic formula may produce an image that is
considerably smaller than the actual screen.
To compensate for loss of screen space in such situations, you need to increase the throw
ratio using a Throw Ratio Correction (TRC).
Example
Fig. 1 illustrates a 4:3 image within a 1080p DMD™.
When a 1080p projector is used for a 4:3 image, the image does not ll the width of the
DMD™, creating a pillarboxing effect - blank spaces to the left and right.
Fig. 2 shows the same image projected on a 4:3 screen using a standard lens (chosen with
the basic calculation).
The DMD™ accurately lls the width of the screen; however, the pillarboxing is now part of the
projected image and is transferred to the screen.
The DMD™ does not ll the height of the screen, which has caused letterboxing - further
blank spaces at the top and bottom of the screen.
The image is now surrounded by blank space, which can be removed if the throw ratio is
increased.
Fig. 3 shows the image projected on the same screen with a lens chosen using TRC.
The increased throw ratio has allowed the 4:3 image to ll the 4:3 screen seamlessly.
Notes
TRC can only be applied if greater
than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard
it and calculate the throw ratio using
the basic formula.

1.33:1 (4:3), 1440 x 1080 pixels TRC = 1.33 TRC = 1.2
1.25:1 (5:4), 1350 x 1080 pixels TRC = 1.42 TRC = 1.28
Notes
TRC can only be applied if greater
than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard
it and calculate the throw ratio using

Calculating the throw ratio with TRC
1. For TRC > 1, amend the basic throw ratio formula as follows:
Throw distance
Screen width x TRC
Throw ratio =
2. Once a throw ratio is established, identify the matching lens from the table:
Throw ratios Throw distance range
0.77 : 1 xed lens 1.3 - 2.5 m (4.3 - 8.2 ft)
1.16 : 1 xed lens 1.4 - 6.2 m (4.6 - 20.3 ft)
1.45 - 1.74 : 1 zoom lens 1.8 - 9.3 m (5.9 - 30.5 ft)
1.74 - 2.17 : 1 zoom lens 2.2 - 11.8 m (7.2 - 38.7 ft)
2.17 - 2.90 : 1 zoom lens 2.7 - 15.4 m (8.9 - 50.5 ft)
2.90 - 4.34 : 1 zoom lens 3.6 - 22.5 m (11.8 - 73.8 ft)
4.34 - 6.76 : 1 zoom lens 5.5 - 35 m (18 - 115 ft)
3. Ensure the required throw distance is within the range of the matching lens.
Notes
TRC can only be applied if greater
than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard
it and calculate the throw ratio using
the basic formula.

Full lens calculation example
Your screen is 4.5m wide; you wish to place the projector
approximately 11m from the screen. You use a WUXGA
projector; the source is 4:3.
1. Calculate TRC as follows:
1.6
1.33
TRC =
= 1.2
2. Calculate the throw ratio:
11
4.5 x 1.2
Throw ratio =
= 2.04
3. Find a match in the lens table.
The table shows that the matching lens is the 1.74 - 2.17 : 1
zoom lens.
4. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The range quoted for the 1.74 - 2.17 : 1 zoom lens is 2.2 -
11.8m. The required distance of 11m is within the range.

How to use the lens charts
The lens charts on the following pages provide a quick guide to
the type of lens needed for a particular projector.
To use the lens charts, you need the following information:
• The DMD resolution of your projector
• The distance between the projector and the screen (throw
distance)
• The maximum width of your screen
In the chart for the required DMD resolution, nd the point where
the throw distance corresponds to the screen width, as shown in
the example below.
Example
For a 1080p projector with
• throw distance 14 m, and
• screen width 3.5 m,
the correct lens would be number 6 in the chart.

Positioning The Image
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side,
and adjust the image using the Lens shift feature (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image.
Notes
For more information on shifting
the lens, see Lens Page in the
Operating Guide and Adjusting
the lens in the Installation and
Quick-Start Guide.
Whenever possible, position the
projector so that the lens is centered
for the highest quality image.

Positioning The Image (continued)
Any single adjustment outside the ranges specied on the following page may result in an unacceptable level of distortion, particularly at the
corners of the image, due to the image passing through the periphery of the lens optics.
If the lens is to be shifted in two directions combined, the maximum range without distortion will be somewhat less, as can be seen in the
illustrations below.

EDID on the DVI input
If you are using a computer DVI card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically congure itself to suit the
projector.
Otherwise please refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to the DMD™ resolution of the projector
or the nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
Using HDMI/DVI switchers with the projector
When using an HDMI/DVI source switcher with the projector, it is important to set the switcher so that it passes the projector EDID through to
the source devices. If this is not done, the projector may not be able to lock to the source or display the source correctly as its video output
timings may not be compatible with those of the projector. Sometimes this is called transparent, pass-through or clone mode. Please see your
switcher’s manual for information on how to set this mode.
Additionally, sources which use HDCP encryption may not display properly when connected to the projector via a switcher. Refer to the
switcher’s manual for more information.

Notes
The Throw ratio for a particular lens
is xed, but assumes that the image
lls the width of the DMD.
For images that do not ll the width
of the DMD, the throw ratio is
effectively increased. To correct for
this in these calculations, a throw
ratio factor is used.
Throw distance calculations are
based on the distance from the outer
end of the lens, which will vary from
lens to lens.

Appendix C: Glossary Of Terms
1080p
An HDTV resolution which corresponds to 1920 x 1080 pixels (a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9).
Anamorphic lens
A special lens which, when used with the TheaterScope aspect ratio, allows watching 2.35:1 content packed in a 16:9 source.
Aspect ratio
The proportional relationship between the width and the height of the projected image. It is represented by two numbers separated by a colon,
indicating the ratio of image width and height respectively: for example, 16:9 or 2.35:1.
Not to be confused with resolution.
Blanking (projection)
The ability to intentionally turn off, that is, set to black, areas around the edges of the projected image. It is sometimes referred to as “curtains”
since it can be used to blank an area of image that literally falls on the curtains at the side of the screen in a movie theater. Usually no image
resizing or geometric correction takes place and the “blanked” part of the image is lost.
Not to be confused with horizontal and vertical blanking (video signal).
Blanking (video signal)
The section of the video signal where there is no active video data.
Not to be confused with blanking (projection).
Brightness (electronic control)
A control which adds a xed intensity value to every pixel in the display, moving the entire range of displayed intensities up or down, and is
used to set the black point in the image (see Contrast).

Rev F July 2014
Brightness (optical)
Describes how ‘bright’ an image that is projected onto a screen appears to an observer.
Cold mirror
A mirror that preferentially reects or transmits infra-red light. In a projector, a cold mirror is used to reect the visible component of the lamp
beam into the illumination optics and transmit the unwanted infrared radiation into an absorber.
Color gamut
The spectrum of color available to be displayed.
Color temperature
The position along the black body curve on the chromaticity diagram, normally quoted in Kelvin. It takes into account the preset values for
color balance in the service set-up to take up the variations in the prism. The projector allows you to adjust this temperature (i.e. adjust the
picture color temperature).
ColorMax
A method of accurately color-matching projectors together.
Contrast (electronic control)
The adjustment of the white point of the image without affecting the black point. This increases the intensity range of the displayed image.
Contrast (optical)
The intensity difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the screen.
Crop
Remove part of the projected image.
Alternatively, t an image into a frame with a different aspect ratio by removing part of the image. The image is resized so that either its
length or its width equals the length or width of the frame, while the other dimension has moved outside the frame; the excess area is then cut
out.

DDC (Display Data Channel)
A communications link between the source and projector. DDC is used on the HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs. The link is used by the source to
read the EDID stored in the projector.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol)
A network protocol that is used to congure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network, for example by allocating an IP
address.
DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™)
The optical tool that transforms the electronic signal from the input source into an optical image projected on the screen. The DMD™ of a
projector has a xed resolution, which affects the aspect ratio of the projected image.
A Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) consists of moving microscopic mirrors. Each mirror, which acts as a pixel, is suspended between
two posts by a thin torsion hinge. It can be tilted to produce either a bright or dark pixel.
EDID (Extended Display Identication Data)
Information stored in the projector that can be read by the source.
EDID is used on the HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs, allowing the source to automatically congure to the optimum display settings.
EDTV (Enhanced Denition Television)
A progressive digital television system with a lower resolution than HDTV.
Frame rate multiplication
To stop low frame rate 3D images from ickering, frame rate multiplication can be used, which increases the displayed frame rate by two or
three times.
Gamma
A nonlinear operation used to code and decode luminance. It originates from the Cathode Ray Tube technology used in legacy television sets.

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
An encryption scheme used to protect video content.
HDTV (High Denition Television)
A television system with a higher resolution than SDTV and EDTV. It can be transmitted in various formats, notably 1080p and 720p.
Hertz (Hz)
Cycles per second.
Horizontal Scan Rate
The rate at which the lines of the incoming signal are refreshed. The rate is set by the horizontal synchronization from the source and
measured in Hertz.
Hs + Vs
Horizontal and vertical synchronization.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
An electronic component that emits light.
Letterboxing
Black margins at the top and bottom of the image. Letterboxing appears when a wider image is packed into a narrower frame without
changing the original aspect ratio.
Lumen
A photometric unit of radiant power. For projectors, it is normally used to specify the total amount of emitted visible light.
Noise
Electrical interference displayed on the screen.

Pillarboxing
Black margins at the left and right of the image. Pillarboxing appears when a narrower image is packed into a wider frame without changing
the aspect ratio.
Progressive scanning
A method of updating the image in which the lines of each frame are drawn in a sequence.
Resolution
The number of pixels in an image, usually represented by the number of pixels per line and the number of lines (for example, 1920 x 1200).
Saturation
The amount of color in an image.
Scope
An aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
SDTV (Standard Denition Television)
A television system with a lower resolution than HDTV.
SX+
A display resolution of 1400x1050 pixels with a 4:3 screen aspect ratio. (Shortened from SXGA+, stands for Super Extended Graphics
Array Plus.)
Synchronization
A timing signal used to coordinate an action.
TheaterScope
An aspect ratio used in conjunction with a special anamorphic lens to display 2.35:1 images packed into a 16:9 frame.

Throw distance
The distance between the screen and the projector.
Throw ratio
The ratio of the throw distance to the screen width.
TRC (Throw ratio correction)
A special number used in calculating throw distances and throw ratios when the image does not ll the width of the DMD™.
TRC is the ratio of the DMD™ aspect ratio to the image source aspect ratio:
DMD™ aspect ratio
Source aspect ratio
TRC =
TRC is only used in calculations if it is greater than 1.
UXGA
A display resolution of 1600x1200 pixels with a 4:3 screen aspect ratio. (Stands for Ultra Extended Graphics Array.)
Vertical Scan Rate
The rate at which the frames of the incoming signal are refreshed. The rate is set by the vertical synchronization from the source and
measured in Hertz.
Vignetting
Optical cropping of the image caused by the components in the projection lens. This can happen if too much offset is applied when
positioning the image using the lens mount.
Vista
An aspect ratio of 1.66:1.
WUXGA
A display resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels with a 16:10 screen aspect ratio. (Stands for Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics Array.)
