Digital Projection Lightning Series POSITIONING THE SCREEN AND PROJECTOR Installation and Quick-Start Guide
Positioning The Screen And Projector
1. Install the screen, ensuring that it is in the best position for viewing by your
audience.
2. Position the projector, ensuring that it is at a suitable distance from the screen
for the image to ll the screen.
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.
Notes
Always allow the projector to
cool for ve minutes before
disconnecting the power or
moving the projector.
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.

Frame adjuster
Do not stack more than three
projectors.
Do not place heavy objects on top
of the projector chassis. Only the
chassis corners and the rigging
frame are capable of withstanding
the weight of another projector.
Do not place the projector with its
front panel down on a surface, as
this may damage the lens or the
lens release lever.
Backup safety chains or wires
should always be used with
ceiling mount installations.

Digital Projection Lightning Series POSITIONING THE SCREEN AND PROJECTOR Installation and Quick-Start Guide
Pitch and roll adjustment
The frame adjusters can provide approximately ±10 mm of vertical movement
relative to the rear right corner, giving approximately ±0.65° pitch and ±0.85°
roll.
It is not possible to achieve maximum adjustment in pitch, roll and yaw
simultaneously.
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 ±11 mm of left-right
movement relative to the rear right corner, giving approximately ±0.75°
yaw.
It is not possible to achieve maximum adjustment in tilt, roll and yaw
simultaneously.
Notes
Do not tilt the projector more than

Stacking projectors
The rigging frame is capable of supporting the weight
of up to three other projectors, using the built-in
stacking adapters. The projectors can be stacked on
top of each other, or suspended below each other.
1. Carefully lower each projector down onto the top
of the others, making sure that all four stacking
adapters engage fully.
2. Fit a locking pin into each adapter. 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.
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 stacking adapters.
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 specication 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.

Special considerations when using Inputs 9-11
Differences between Inputs 9-11 and Inputs 1-8
Inputs 9 and 10 have been designed to offer access to a very high bandwidth digital video path, free of the limitations inherent to standard
image processing techniques. As such, the image is pixel-mapped directly to each DMD™, so only a subset of the image settings applies to
Inputs 9-11.
Global settings, such as input selection, lens and lamp control are all applicable to Inputs 9-11 but modal settings are not.

EDID on the DVI and VGA inputs
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. 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.

Edge Blend menu
The Edge Blend menu is available only when Setup >
System > Conguration is set to Edge Blend.
Overview
When several projectors are used to create a large tiled
image, the edges need to be blended to avoid the overlaps
appearing brighter than the rest of the image.
As it is not possible for any projector to produce an
absolute black, any ‘black’ areas in the overlapped edges
may appear slightly less dark than those in the rest of the
image. Black Level Uplift can be used to counteract this
effect, by raising the black level of the rest of the image.
The amount of uplift required will be either x2 or x4,
depending on how many images are overlapped, as shown
in the examples on this page.
Image brightness changes from one point to another,
within the same blended region. If the same level of black
level uplift is applied throughout the blended region, the
overlapping edges may still be visible on the screen.
Therefore, brightness in these areas is decreased
gradually, using an s-curve factor. S-Curve Value is used
to control the steepness of the decrease.

Blending images from multiple projectors
The following procedure explains how to set up an array of projectors and how to blend the images together.
Before you start
Position the projectors
Ensure that all projectors are in good working order.
Position the projectors so that they are within the required throw distance range. Position the screen where it will remain during operation.
In the initial stages of the procedure you will be using test patterns, therefore it is not necessary to connect the input at this stage. However,
you need to make sure that you are able to connect the inputs without moving the projectors.
Control the projectors
You can control the projectors individually by using:
• their respective control panels, or
• a dedicated remote control for each projector, or
• a single remote control for all projectors. To do so, you need to assign a different IR address for each projector.
Consider connecting the projectors in a LAN network and using the Projector Controller application to monitor the projectors and change
settings on the whole array at once.
Notes
For information about changing
the IR address of a projector, see
Setting up an IR address further in
this guide.
The Projector Controller software
is available for download from the
Digital Projection website, free of
charge.
65Rev D July 2014
Digital Projection Lightning Series USING THE PROJECTOR Operating Guide
Edge Blend procedure
1. Align the projectors as they will be used in the array.
Each projector should be perpendicular to the screen, or as close as possible. Ideally, each projector should allow for a minimum of 20%
screen overlap where it is adjoined by other projectors. Overlaps should be the same in size across the array.
How to align the projectors:
• Ideally, all alignment should be achieved by physically moving the projectors and by using the Lens Shift and Zoom functions.
• If necessary, use Image > V Position and H Position.
• Do not use geometry corrections.

Example: 1080p projector overlapped on
all sides
1
Overlap to the left
This overlap takes 20% of the image width, or
384 pixels.

If necessary, use the White Field test pattern and test the light output of each projector.

6. Uplift black levels (optional).
If you do not need to uplift the black levels, skip
to step 8, Blend the images.
Switch all projectors to the Black Field test pattern.
The level of black will differ across the image as
shown in Fig. 1. Uplift the black levels using Edge
Blend > Black Level Uplift.
How to uplift black levels
Regions may be overlapped by two or four
projectors. An array will always contain regions
overlapped by at least two projectors.
• x2 overlaps
If your array only contains two-projector
overlaps, you need to uplift the black levels in
the unblended regions – the exact value will
depend on the projector, environment, etc.
Do not uplift black levels in the overlapping
region(s).
• x2 and x4 overlaps
Sometimes a region is overlapped by four
projectors. For example, in a two-by-two
segment setup, Array Width = 2 and
Array Height = 2, the region in the middle is
overlapped by all four projectors (as shown in
Fig. 1). If your array contains such regions, you
need to uplift black levels roughly four times in
the unblended regions, and roughly double in
the regions overlapped by two projectors.
1
Unblended region
This region is not overlapped. Black level should be raised by the
maximum overlap occurring within the image, therefore the value of
Black Level Uplift should be the highest here.
2
x2 overlap
This section of the image is overlapped by two projectors, therefore the
correct amount of
uplift within the unblended region.
3
x4 overlap
This part of the image is overlapped by four projectors, therefore
Level Uplift should not be applied.

Edge Blend procedure (continued)
7. Adjust uplift edges (optional).
This step is necessary if you
have uplifted the black levels
in the previous step.
During the black level uplift
process, brighter lines appear on
the edges of the uplifted regions.
This is due to the inactive area
around the periphery of the DMD,
also known as
pond of mirrors 1.
To remove these edges, use the
Edge Blend > Reduce Black
Level Uplift Width settings for
each projector individually. Enter
X and Y corrections for each part
of the image to achieve this.
Notes
The edges of the uplift area are brighter due to light from the pond of mirrors

Edge Blend procedure (continued)
8. Blend the images.
Set Edge Blend > Blending to On for
each projector to activate s-curves in the
blend regions.
Once blending is activated, use test
patterns to detect irregularities within the
blend and to correct them.
What test patterns to use
• Use White Field (recommended)
and/or Grey H Bars, if you are
blending horizontally aligned images,
and Grey V Bars, if the images are
vertically aligned.
What irregularities to look for
Check if the blend region is darker
than the rest of the image 1. If this
is the case, adjust the Edge Blend >
S-Curve Value setting until the blend
region is the same as the rest of the
image.

9. Set up segmentation (optional).
If you are feeding the same source into all the projectors and aim to have each projector reproduce a segment of the source, you can use
the Edge Blend > Segmentation function, or you can use an external processor to control the segments.
To use the Segmentation function:
1. On each projector, set Edge Blend > Segmentation to On.
2. Test with the source. If necessary, enter further corrections as described in steps 6, 7 and 8 above.
Bear in mind that using the Segmentation function brings a loss of resolution, as shown below:

3D types
In most situations you can use the Auto setting to have the projector automatically detect the format. Otherwise, consider the notes below to
help you set up the 3D input manually.
The following 3D formats are supported:
• Sequential
Main will accept frame rates up to 160 Hz. Lower frame rates can be multiplied for display. An example would be 60Hz (30 frames per
eye in Left-Right sequence (L1, R1, L2, R2…) with Frame Rate Multiplier set to 2x, resulting in a displayed sequence at 120 Hz (L1,
R1, L1, R1, L2, R2, L2, R2…). Sub can accept frame rates up to 60Hz and frame-multiply in a similar manner.
Frame Rate Multiplier should never be set to result in a displayed frame rate above 160 Hz - doing so will result in an image error.
For sequential 3D, an external sync is required to identify left and right frames. If no sync is available from the sequential source, the
projector will generate an output sync, but it may then be necessary to manually reset the dominance each time the player is started.
L R L R

• Dual Pipe (LEFT and RIGHT)
The left and right eye images are delivered on two separate DVI links, which the projector will interleave for 3D display.

• Frame Packing
This format will be detected, re-synchronised, frame-multiplied and displayed at 144 Hz with the left eye
/ right eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data. You need to optimize Dark Time and
Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching glasses. You also need to set an appropriate frame
rate multiplication: for Frame Packing, we recommend 3x.)
• Top-and-Bottom
Sets the projector to reformat the video frames and map them to the display with the left eye / right
eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data. You need to optimize Dark Time and
Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching glasses. You also need to set an appropriate frame
multiplication: for a 60Hz Top-and-Bottom source Frame Rate Multiplier should be set to 1x because
the two halves of the image will automatically be extracted to create a displayed rate of twice the input
rate.

The side-by-side image will be de-interlaced (if appropriate), resized and then sequentially displayed at

however you will need to optimize Dark Time and Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching
glasses.
When 3D is disabled, 1080i will be treated conventionally. For a 60Hz Top-and-Bottom source
Frame Rate Multiplier should be set to 1x because the two halves of the image will automatically be

Some 3D settings explained
Dark Time
Ghosting can be caused by the left and right images
overlapping during the time that the ZScreen or 3D
glasses are switching. Dark Time allows you to
minimize this effect.
Source Dominance
The outgoing 3D frames are in pairs - the dominant
frame being presented rst. You can determine which
frame should be the dominant one.
By convention the default setting is Left.
Sync Offset
The sync signal from the 3D server will be in phase with
the frames generated by its graphics card. However,
to compensate for processing delays in the projector,
Sync Offset introduces a delay to the sync output
signal sent to the ZScreen or 3D glasses.

In order to achieve maximum light
output and a smooth grayscale,
whilst eliminating ghosting,
the following procedure is
recommended:
1. Set Dark Time to a value
appropriate to the glasses or
ZScreen, say 650 µS or 1300 µS.
2. Adjust Sync Offset time to eliminate
ghosting and achieve a smooth

Frame Rate Multiplier
If the 3D video is available only at low frame rates, it will be
necessary to multiply the frame rate to obtain a icker-free
image. For example, a 60Hz frame rate can be doubled to 120
Hz, or a 48 Hz frame rate could be tripled to 144 Hz.
When displaying HDMI 3D video mode, the frame rate
multiplication should be set to x1. The projector will
automatically perform the correct frame rate multiplication
depending on the output frequency.

To assign an IR address for the projector,
• Open the OSD, access Setup > System and select IR Address.
To assign IR address for the remote:
1. Press and hold the ADDR button on the remote.
2. Press two number buttons sequentially to enter the address. For numbers less than 10,
use a leading zero.
3. Release the ADDR button.
