Failure to comply with the following may result in serious injury:
• No direct exposure to the beam is permitted, RG3 IEC 62471-5:2015.
• Operators control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the projector at sufcient height to prevent
exposures of spectators’ eyes within the hazard distance.
The hazard distance (Fig. 1) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or energy per unit of surface is lower
than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or skin. If the person is within the hazard distance, the beam is considered unsafe for
exposure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,

Stacking instructions
1. On the bottom projector, remove the four screws on the top side. Insert and
secure the stacking tops in their place.
Notes
When stacking projectors, the stack
MUST be vertical, to ensure that the
stresses are distributed to all four
chassis corners.
Do not stack more than two
projectors.
Do not use the provided eye bolts to
suspend more than one projector.
The eye bolts must not be used with
stacks as they can carry the weight of
one projector only.
Do not use the lifting handles when
stacking. The handles will carry the
weight of one projector only.
Use only the provided screws with
a torque of 25-30 kgf cm (2.45 - 2.94
Nm).
It is the customer’s responsibility to
ensure that the assembly is carried
out securely.
The stacking kit is provided in the

SIGNAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
EDID on the DisplayPort, HDMI and HDBaseT inputs
If you are using a computer graphics card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically congure itself to suit
the projector.
Otherwise 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 DisplayPort/HDMI/HDBaseT switchers with the projector
When using a DisplayPort/HDMI/HDBaseT 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.

• Gamma
Choose a de-gamma curve from 1.0, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35, 2.5, S-Curve and DICOM.
Used correctly, the Gamma setting can improve contrast while maintaining good
details for blacks and whites.
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it is difcult to see details in dark
areas, lower the Gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast while
maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and
unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
S-Curve is an enhanced mid-tone gamma.
DICOM is a simulated DICOM display, which can be used for training applications.

Black in the blended regions appears less dark than in the rest of the image. To
compensate for this, use this menu to raise the black levels of the rest of the image:
• Set All to the required amount of black level correction. This will apply equal
correction to the black levels of all colors.
• If necessary, use the individual color sliders (Red, Green and Blue) for ne
adjustment.
You may experience artifacts at the edges where the blended region of one projector
overlaps the pond of mirrors of its neighbor. In the example below, the blended image
comes from two projectors,
1
and 2. Both images have black level uplift applied;
as a result, artifacts 3 and 4 have emerged at the edges where the black level uplift
region of one projector overlaps the pond of mirrors of the other.
To remove the artifacts, you need to slightly reduce the size of the black level uplift region
of each projector so it does not overlap the pond of mirrors of the other projector.
• Depending on your array, use Top, Bottom, Left and/or Right to reduce the black
level uplift size. In the example below, use the

Frame Sequential.
Frame Sequential is displayed at the incoming rate whereas Dual Pipe is for
sources where Left and Right eye are delivered on separate inputs.
• DLP Link — Off / On.
DLP Link On emits a sync pulse for the 3D glasses via the projected image. DLP
Link Off will send the sync pulse to the sync out connector to use with an external
third party emitter.
• Eye Swap — Normal and Reverse (set to Reverse if the left- and right-eye images
are displayed in the wrong order)
• Dark Time — 0.65 ms, 1.3 ms and 1.95 ms. Set to reduce the effect of banding and
image overlapping when viewed through 3D the glasses.

• Frame Sequential
Displayport and HDMI inputs can accept Frame Sequential formats where both left and right eye images are delivered on a single cable.
Up to 120Hz can be received and displayed. Frames rates of 50Hz or 60Hz will be displayed at 100Hz or 120Hz respectively.
.
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.
Notes
Processing through the projector
is limited 60Hz. Therefore while
120Hz sequential or Dual Pipe can
be accepted and displayed it will
drop to 60Hz for processing and

Banding can be caused if the image is displayed before
each eye of the 3D switching glasses or ZScreen is
not fully open. Dark Time allows you to minimize this
effect.

frame being presented rst. You can determine which

By convention the default setting is
Sync Offset
Left.
The sync signal from the 3D server will be in phase with
the frames generated by its graphics card. However,
to compensate for switching delays in the glasses or
ZScreen, Sync Offset is used to adjust the sync output

In order to achieve maximum light

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 WUXGA DMD™.
When a WUXGA 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.
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.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
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.

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.

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.
