General precautions

Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Use only the power cable provided.
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this
equipment MUST be earthed.
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any
liquids on top of the projector.
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a
damaged power cable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole
module should be replaced and returned to Digital Projection for re­furbishment.
Notes
Take care when removing the lamp module, as it is heavy (>10kg).
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you do
accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use.
Do not use the lamp for more than 750 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on replacement.
Xenon lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the
light coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in serious eye damage.
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
Do not cover the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
cause a re
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before switching off
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to
clean the projector and lens.

Installation precautions

Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other
similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualied personnel, in
accordance with local building codes.
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 30cm (12in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) 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 projector weighs over 100kg (200lbs). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
Do not stack more than four projectors.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all for frame couplings.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight of the projector and lens (see specication for exact weights).
Notes
±12°
Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each
projector.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only
the rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another projector.
Do not drop or jarr the projector.
The lens release lever should always be set to the locked position to
prevent the lens from falling out.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° from side to side when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards and backwards as necessary.
360°
Rev B. January 2010 Page vii
Operation and conguration precautions
Do not make changes to the networking conguration unless you
understand what you are doing, or have taken advice from your Network Manager. If you make a mistake, it is possible that you will lose contact with the projector. Always double-check your settings before pressing the APPLY button. Always keep a written note of the original settings, and any changes you have made.
Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the
supervision of, Digital Projection Service personnel.

Screen requirements

Aspect ratio

Fitting the image to the DMD
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 1920 x 1080 pixels, then the image will not ll the DMD. The following example shows how a number of common formats may be displayed.
Images displayed full width
= 817 pixels
2.35:1(Scope)
full width = 1920 pixels
Notes
The images are shown here
scaled automatically by the
projector.
The image may be scaled
differently if the Aspect Ratio is set differently in the Picture or Geometry menus.
1.85:1 16:9 = 1.78:1
= 1037 pixels
= 1080 pixels
(native resolution)
Images displayed full height
4:3 = 1.33:1 = 1440 pixels
16:10 = 1.6:1 = 1728 pixels
1.66:1 (Vista) = 1792 pixels
16:9 = 1.78:1 = 1920 pixels
full height = 1080 pixels
(native resolution)
Rev B. January 2010 Page 2.3
Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specied by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
W = width
H = height
D = diagonal (inches)
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into
width and height, at various aspect ratios.
2.35:1 (Scope)
W = D x 0.92in (D x .023m) H = D x 0.39in (D x .01m)
1.85:1
W = D x 0.88in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.47in (D x .012m)
16:9 = 1.78:1 (native aspect ratio)
W = D x 0.87in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.49in (D x .0125m)
Notes
1.66:1 (Vista)
W = D x 0.86in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.52in (D x .013m)
16:10 = 1.6:1
W = D x 0.85in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.53in (D x .014m)
4:3 = 1.33:1
W = D x 0.8in (D x .02m) H = D x 0.6in (D x .015m)
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 1080p, 1080p 3D/UC User Manual 2. Installation
Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of sufcient 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 insufcient height or width, you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on
your screen.

Rev B. January 2010 Page 2.5

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 1.2m (4 feet) 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
30cm (12in) of space between the ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) 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 section
4. Using the menus, Image menu) and displayed without
the need for extra mirrors or equipment.
However, you must ensure
that there is sufcient 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.
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 1080p, 1080p 3D/UC User Manual 2. Installation

Choosing a lens

A number of lenses are available for use with the projector. Which lens you choose will depend on the screen size, image aspect ratio, projection distance and light
output.
The lenses available and their part numbers are listed below:
High Brightness High Contrast
0.67 : 1 xed lens 105-607 107-195
1.12 : 1 xed lens (3 - 15m) 105-608 105-608
1.12 : 1 zoom lens (1.2 - 2m) 105-609 105-609
1.16 - 1.49 : 1 zoom lens 109 236 109-359
1.39 - 1.87 : 1 zoom lens 105-610 107-196
1.87 - 2.56 : 1 zoom lens 105-611 107-197
2.56 - 4.16 : 1 zoom lens 105-612 107-198
4.16 - 6.96 : 1 zoom lens 105-613 107-199
6.92 - 10.36 : 1 zoom lens 109-235 109-358
If you are simply connecting the output of a camera or computer directly to the projector, then the image size (in pixels) may well be xed. If, however, you are using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital Projection VIP2000, you may be able to resize the image to t the DMD.
If the image does not ll the full width of the DMD, this effectively increases the throw ratio of the lens. This can be corrected for by applying a Throw ratio factor.
Notes
The High Brightness lenses are
recommended for the standard models, for maximum light
output.
The High Contrast lenses are
recommended for the Ultra Contrast models, for maximum
contrast.
Each time a new lens is
tted to the projector,
the calibration procedure must be carried out. See Setup menu, in Section 4. Controlling the projector.
For more information about
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see Useful lens calculations, later
in this section.
Method one: using the lens charts
For the screen sizes listed below, use the charts on the following pages, to choose
the most suitable lens.
Full width images, including:
2.35:1 (Scope) 1920 x 817 pixels

Choosing a lens by calculation

For any screen size not listed above, or if you need to be more precise, then use the
calculations below.
Identify actual width of the image in pixels.
•
•
Calculate the Throw Ratio Factor: TRF = Image width in pixels
Identify the screen width required.
•
Identify the throw distance required.
•
Throw distance calculations are based on the distance from the outer end of the lens, which will vary from lens to lens. Once a lens has been chosen, the gures can be checked using the lens extension values given on the next page.
•
Calculate the throw ratio required. Throw ratio = Screen width x TRF
Choose a lens with the required throw ratio from the list at the bottom of the
•
page.
Check from the list that the lens chosen will work at the throw distance required.
Example
An image, 1024 x 768 pixels, screen width 6.5m, throw distance 18m from the
•
outer end of the lens.
DMD width (1920)
Throw distance
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 (TRF) is used.
•
Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) =
1024
•
Throw ratio required = 18 = 1.48
6.5 x 1.875
Choose the 1.39 - 1.87 zoom lens.
•
High Brightness High Contrast Throw distance range

Useful lens calculations

The following lens calculations may be useful:
Throw ratio = Throw distance
Screen width
Throw ratio factor (TRF) = image width in pixels image width in pixels
Therefore:
Screen width =
Throw ratio x TRF
Throw distance = Screen width x Throw ratio x TRF
Lens extension
The throw distance calculated above is to the outer end of the lens. For each lens, the nominal distance between the front of the projector and the outer end of the lens (lens extension) will be as listed below.
High Brightness/ Contrast Lens extension (±2%)
0.67 : 1 xed lens 105-607 107-195 204 mm (8.0 in)
1.12 : 1 xed lens (3 - 15m) 105-608 105-608 268 mm (10.6 in)
1.12 : 1 xed lens (1.2 - 2m) 105-609 105-609 268 mm (10.6 in)
1.16 - 1.49 : 1 zoom lens 109 236 109-359 226 mm (8.9 in)
DMD width in pixels = 1920
Throw distance
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 (TRF) is used.
The High Brightness lenses are
recommended for the standard models, for maximum light
output.
The High Contrast lenses are
recommended for the Ultra Contrast models, for maximum
contrast.

Shifting 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 to maintain a geometrically correct image.
Any single adjustment outside the ranges specied below may result in an
•
unacceptable level of distortion, paricularly 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 diagrams to the
right.
The maximum range available with no distortion is dependent on which lens is used.
The tables below show the maximum range for images that ll the DMD. For images which do not use the full height or width, extra shift will be possible, up to the limit of
the lens mount movement.

Rev B. January 2010 Page 2.15

Mounting the projector

The projector is designed to be suspended from a lighting truss by its rigging frame. However, the four adjustable feet under the chassis allow the projector to be lowered onto a at surface without any danger of hands being trapped between the bottom frame and the surface.

Adjustment for table mounting

If the projector is to be operated from a at surface such as a projector table, then adjustment of projector level should be made by turning the four feet under the
chassis.

Adjusting the rigging frame

Before suspending the projector, make sure that the three frame adjusters and the yaw adjustment are set roughly midway. Centering lines are scribed on the shafts to show the centres of adjustment.
Coarse frame adjustment
Coarse adjustment of projector level should be made by adjusting the length of the supporting wires or chains, or by adjusting the position of the truss.
Once the initial coarse frame adjustment has been made, ne adjustment should be made using the three frame adjusters and the yaw handle (if ttled) on the rigging frame.
Tilt and Roll adjustment
The frame adjusters can provide approximately ±10mm of vertical movement relative to the rear right corner, giving approximately ±0.65° tilt and ±0.85° roll. It is not possible, however, to achieve maximum adjustment in both tilt, roll and yaw
simultaneously.

Notes
BEFORE INSTALLING THE
PROJECTOR, READ ALL THE WARNINGS BELOW AND ALL THOSE IN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL.
The projector weighs over
100kg (200lbs). Use safe handling techniques when lifting the projector.
Make sure that the surface,
ceiling or rigging that is to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight of the projector and lens (see specication for weights).
Backup safety chains or
wires should always be used.
Do not tilt the projector more
than ±12° from side to side when in use, as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards and backwards as necessary.

Yaw adjustment
The yaw handle uses a ratchet to move the front of the projector from left to right. To change the direction of movement, push the direction lever on the handle up or
down.
The yaw handle can provide approximately ±11mm of left-right movement relative to the rear right corner, giving approximately ±0.75° yaw. It is not possible, however, to achieve maximum adjustment in both tilt, roll and yaw simultaneously.

Stacking projectors

The rigging frame is capable of supporting the weight of up to three other projectors, using the built-in frame couplings. The projectors can be stacked on top of each other, or suspended below each other.
Carefully lower each projector down onto the top of the others, making sure that
•
all four frame couplings engage fully.
Fit a locking pin into each coupling. A ball in the end of the pin prevents the pin
•
from falling out – to insert or remove a locking pin, press the button on the t-bar
to release the ball.
Align the images from the projectors, following the instructions in section
•
3. Getting started, Adjusting the projected image.
Frame
coupling
Notes
Do not try to stack more than
four projectors.
When stacking projectors,
the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that the stresses are distributed to all four frame couplings.
Make sure that the surface,
ceiling or rigging that is to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight of all the projectors and lenses (see
specication for weights).
Do not place heavy objects
on top of the projector chassis. Only the rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another projector.

Separate backup safety
chains or wires should always be used for each projector.

Overview

Controlling the projector

The projector can be controlled from:
the remote control
•
the keypad
•
the RS232 input
•
the Ethernet input
•
For more information about controlling the projector using the RS232 and Ethernet inputs, see Remote communications protocol in section 7.
Appendix.
For information about how to connect the projector, see Connecting the projector in section 2. Installation, and Connections in section 7. Appendix.
Many features are controlled from the menus using the menu navigation keys on
•
the remote control or keypad.
For more information about using the menus, see later in this section, Using the menus.
Notes
Menu navigation keys
Some of the menu features, for example brightness, contrast and input preset
•
operations, can be accessed directly using the control keys at the bottom of the
remote control.
•
Other features, eg zoom and focus, are controlled using the control keys at the top of the remote control and keypad.
For more information about using the control keys, see later in this section,
Using the control keys.

Input modes and settings

Input mode detection
The projector can automatically detect the following parameters from the incoming
video signal:
line frequency
•
frame rate
•
interlace / progressive
•
From these parameters the projector can determine input mode, for example:
•
input source horizontal vertical mode
•
composite 15.73KHz 60.0Hz = NTSC
•
RGB1 31.51KHz 60.0Hz = SDTV 480p
•
DVI 64.02KHz 60.0Hz = SXGA 60
When you select a new input source, the green LED near the input connector will ash, and the searching message will be displayed.
Notes
The input mode detection and
mode library described here do
not apply to Input 8. For more information, see the nal pages of this section.
For a full list of supported input
modes, see Input modes
supported, in section 7. Appendix.
When the input mode has been detected, the LED will show continuously and the auto detect message will be displayed, for example:
If the input mode cannot be detected, the LED will continue to ash, to show that the input is still selected. However, the following message will be displayed:
Mode library and mode history
Once an input mode has been successfully determined for the rst time, a set of default modal settings (picture, geometry and colour), will be copied from the mode
library to the mode history.

Notes
The input mode detection and

In normal use, there should be
adequate memory to record all likely modal settings in the
mode history.
However, in exceptional
circumstances, the least used settings will be deleted, to allow a new mode to be added.
Input presets
It may be the case that you need to save more than one set of modal settings for
the same input mode. For example you may have more than one video player or a
selection of lms with different characteristics.
In that case, the current input source and modal settings can be saved to any one of 16 input presets, for recall when the same input source is used again.
