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.
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 1080p, 1080p 3D/UC User Manual Important Information

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.

Compliance with international standards

Noise

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)

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.

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.
