2 Safety and compliance
2.1 General safety considerations
• Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement
cables. Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage to
the unit.
• Always use 3-prong (grounded) power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit.
Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
• Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to
qualified personnel only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of
the set.
• Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
• Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed, it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the
lens cap may permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.
• Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light
may permanently damage sight.
• Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved
ceiling-mount.
• Do not drop the projector.
• Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines. Operating the unit in
other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting
in malfunctioning.
• Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never
cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings
to avoid overheating.
• Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50cm / 20” in any direction (15 cm/ 6”
to ceiling).
• Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat
nearer than 50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
• The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
• Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this
may result in overheating and malfunctioning.
• Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
• In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by over-voltages (e.g. lightning), we
recommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has over voltage protection.
• Allow lamp to cool down for at least 60 minutes before changing.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.
• Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recommended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket is
accessible whilst the product is in use to enable mains power to be disconnected or
switched off when connecting source devices. This should be considered during product
installation.

2.2 Information/Warning - Potential Mercury Vapour Health Issues
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in
cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting,
contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the
limits of danger set by the authorities. It is very important that lamps containing mercury are
treated properly to minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when
operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the probability
of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury vapour may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp
reaches its nominal life. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced when
the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If
lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant
women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people
under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States
Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure.
Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapour can cause conditions such as
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful
effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Recycle properly; do not dispose of in
ordinary waste!

4 Installation
4.1 System considerations
Please see Chapter 5 Overview for explanation on the various features of the
projector.
Installation should only be performed by trained and skilled personnel in order to achieve the
desired results.
Safety first: Projectors and other equipment that are not mounted properly represent
a potential danger to people and may result in injury or death!
Creating a successful system installation requires proper skills, competencies and knowledge
of the particular system requirements. In addition to knowing the expected performance,
ambient conditions and all the components that form the complete system, including Image
Generation (IG), cabling, control system, screens and projectors.
Often multiple projectors, long cables and several IG’s are employed, as well as intermediate
system components like signal converters and line buffers.
Make sure that:
• IG properties like pixel resolution and frame refresh match those of the projector
• Choice of signal interface and cable lengths match.
o HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are so called long-haul interfaces, suitable for bespoke
o DP, HDMI, DVI and VGA are all short-haul interfaces using preassembled cables
• Signal amplifiers, switches and other components should convey EDID and other control
information. However, unfortunately many times EDID data is lost in translation under
way, potentially resulting in images of reduced pixel resolution and wrong aspect ratio.
installation on the premises using relatively long cables.
with limited cable lengths. Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced
image quality as well as loss of control information such as EDID (Extended Display
Information Data).

4.6 Selecting a lens
Select lens according to desired image size and projection distance. The projector uses a
bayonet mount system to precisely fix the lens in place. The projector is supplied without
lens. The lenses are manual, i.e. zoom, focus and iris adjustments are done by hand manu-
ally. Lens shift (horizontally and vertically) is motorized.
Use only original projection lenses or lenses that are approved for use with the
projector.
A protection lid is mounted on the projector lens interface to protect the interior of the
projector from dust and damage. The protection lid must always be in place whenever
there is no lens mounted on the projector!
The protection lid must be removed before attaching a lens!
The projection lenses are supplied with protection caps on both the entry and exit
sides. Please keep the caps on until mounting the lens on the projector!
Remove lens protection caps before mounting the lens and using the projector.

4.9 Lens planarity (Scheimpflug adjustment)
This adjustment is rarely needed, do not apply it unless it is required.
Certain applications require fine adjustment of the lens planarity in order to obtain an image
that is focused. The projector is fitted with three adjustment screws (Allen key 3mm/5mm)
around the bayonet mount that facilitate such adjustment, a so called Scheimpflug adjustment. Do not attempt adjusting without the required technical competence and refer to the
service manual found on our web for further info.
Figure 4-8. Scheimpflug Adjustment Screws
4.10 Zoom, focus and iris
These lens functions are manual (not motorized).
• First adjust zoom to achieve the desired image size (if the lens has a zoom-function).
• Then adjust focus to achieve a sharp image. If the image is not sharp all over the surface, please check the surface flatness and whether the lens axis is perpendicular to the
projection surface.
• Use the iris to adjust the contrast and focus depth of the image. Adjusting the iris will
affect the brightness; stopping the iris down increases contrast and image depth, but
reduces brightness.
• The zoom, focus and, iris rings can be locked in position for typical motion based installations to secure that the picture settings are not changed. Tighten the pre-installed M3
screws on each ring to lock the movement, using a 1.5mm Allen key, until the rings can
not be turned.

The projector is equipped with multiple signal and control interfaces to support various video
and data sources (see connector panel below), as well as different control systems.
Always make sure that the projector is powered off before connecting any signal and/
or control cables.
Long cables may cause distorted or even failing signal quality. Always make sure best
quality cables are used, and take into consideration the cable length limitations applying to the various interface standards.
4.12 Connecting video and data sources
Choice of connectivity depends on the installation requirements as well as the sources
connected. Generally, digital interfaces are preferred over analog. Multiple signals can be
connected in parallel to allow for a selection of sources to be viewed in sequence.
Attach the interfaces of choice and make sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.
4.13 Connecting control interfaces
Power off the projector and the source!
Choice of control interface depends on the installation requirements. Attach the interfaces of
choice and make sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.

7 Optimising the image
The projector has powerful features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in
using these features. All color calibration is done using Digital Projection’s proprietary ColorMax solution.
7.1 Calibration data
All our projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at the factory
for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the lamps the characteristics of the
projector might change slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.
7.1.1 Updating ColorMax calibration data
For accurate results with the ColorMa system, accurate measurement data is required.
ColorMax calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE > CALIBRATION > COLORMAX CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES X, Y and relative luminance values
for red, green, blue, white and BrilliantColor™ 1 is entered in this menu. The BrilliantColor™
should all be set to 0.000 for the VizSim (RGBRGB) color wheel. All values can also be updated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or LAN.
Before setting these values, it is important to select the desired BrilliantColor™
setting. Go to menu entry PICTURE > COLORMAX > BRILLIANTCOLOR to select
the desired BrilliantColor™ look.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. This is in particularly important for
the BrilliantColor™ 1 test pattern since it is impossible to generate this pattern correctly using
a computer source. In the user menu these patterns can be accessed through PICTURE > CALIBRATION > COLORMAX CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION TESTIMAGE.
Use the arrow keys to cycle through the images.
Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured values to the
values measured in the factory.
When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly recommended
for accurate results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655) are preferred.

english
7.1.2 ColorMax modes
Before any color correction is applied to the image, ColorMa must be enabled. Go to menu
PICTURE > COLORMAX > COLOR CORRECTION to enable ColorMax.
ColorMax can operate in 3 modes:
• Color temperature/white point correction only.
• Red, Green, Blue, White correction. In this mode optimal color coordinates for Cyan,
Magenta and Yellow will be computed automatically.
• Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White. In this mode color points and intensity
for each color can be manipulated separately.
To change the ColorMax mode please go the menu PICTURE > COLORMAX > DESIRED
VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
User Manual - Optimising the image
54iVision50-series
Page 55
english
7.2 Setting a white point or color temperature
After enabling ColorMax set the color temperature in the menu PICTURE > COLORMAX > COLOR TEMPERATURE. Values between 3200K and 9300K
can be selected. These color temperatures are tracking the “black body curve”the black curved line in the center of CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The default is the
D65 illuminant at 6500K.
The white point can also be set to a custom value defined by an x, y coordinate
not linked to the black body. Go to menu PICTURE > COLORMAX > X-COOR-DINATE and PICTURE > COLORMAX > Y-COORDINATE to change the white
point.
7.2.1 Defining the system color gamut
All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure Figure 7-1. The boundary of the
colors the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle in the
figure is an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system gamut.
The system color gamut cannot be expanded outside native color gamut.
It may be desirable to change the system color gamut of the projector to:
• Color-match multiple projectors.
• Meet defined color standards, like REC 709.
• Create a special “look” to the image.

9 Lamp change
The indicator on the keypad will turn RED when lamp life is expired. Change the lamp when
lifetime expires. Always replace lamp with the same type and rating. USE ORIGINAL LAMPS ONLY. The lamp holder employs an electronic lamp timer that is tracking the life time of the
lamp. Always disconnect the power cord and wait until the projector has cooled down (60
minutes) before opening the lamp cover.
Be careful not to touch the protective glass when replacing the lamp,
this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break while in use.
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event that
the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is
designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp
module.
Remove the used lamp:
1. Unscrew the lamp door screw
2. Open the lamp door
3. Unscrew the three screws that hold the lamp in place
4. Pull the lamp out using the handle
63
Replace with a new lamp in reverse order:
1. Insert a new lamp. Observe the guide pins and make sure the lamp is fully inserted
2. Fasten the three screws securely
3. Close the lamp door
4. Tighten the lamp door screw firmly
In the unlikely event of a lamp rapture, a limited amount of mercury vapour
may be emitted into the room. To avoid inhaling this mercury vapour (which is
toxic, and can be harmful for lungs and nervous system) the room should be
thoroughly ventilated for a period of at least 30 minutes. There are no known
health hazards from exposure to lamps that are intact and which are used within
an enclosed fixture. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure
to broken lamps. As a matter of good practise, avoid prolonged or frequent
exposure to lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from
broken lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
