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.
Notes
Only lamps supplied by Digital Projection and intended for this
projector should be used. Fitting any other lamp could damage both projector and lamp, and will invalidate the warranty.
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVER touch the lamp or reflector.
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. (see section 5. Maintenance.)
Do not use the lamp for more than 2000 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on replacement.
HID 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 or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
cause a fire
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting
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

The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified 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 approximately 13 kg (29 lbs). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
Do not stack more than three projectors.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all four chassis corners.
Before installation, 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.
Notes
Backup safety chains or wires should always be used with ceiling
mount installations.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the
chassis corners are capable of withstanding the weight of another projector.
Do not drop or knock the projector.
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° in either direction when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on replacement.

Operation and configuration precautions

Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the
supervision of, Digital Projection Service personnel.

Key features of the projector

Congratulations on your purchase of the Digital Projection M-Vision Cine series projector.
Digital Projection International (DPI), Texas Instruments’ first DLP™ partner and the original innovator of the 3-chip DLP™ projector, proudly introduces the new M-Vision Cine series, a high brightness 1080p platform with the imaging fidelity of Texas Instruments’ DLP™ technology. The single-chip M-Vision Cine series adds a remarkably affordable, high-performance series of 1920 x 1080 displays to DPI’s already extensive single-chip product line.
The imagery benefits associated with the M-Vision Cine series are plentiful, including an expanded color gamut range, up to 5500 lumens and up to 3000:1 contrast ratio. For any home or commercial venue, including those contending with high ambient light, the Cine series offers bright, saturated color. Augmenting these benefits is the overall efficiency of the single lamp system, meaning the Cine produces beautiful imagery while consuming a fraction of the wattage of similar products. Installation is incredibly flexible due to the M-Vision’s compact and lightweight chassis design, plus extraordinary lens shift range of up to 30% horizontal and up to 120% vertical. Multiple lens options provide further flexibility, with a throw range from .73 to 2.40:1.
Providing a bright, saturated image from a small-form single-chip display, the M-Vision Cine series presents a powerful yet remarkably affordable solution for a variety of commercial and home entertainment applications, including: media rooms and home theatres, training and education, boardrooms and conference centers, visualization/simulation environments, retail, entertainment, digital media/advertising and hospitality.

Screen requirements

Aspect ratio

Fitting the image to the DMD
The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x 1080 pixels, or to put it another way, its aspect ratio is 16:9.
1920 pixels
1080 pixels
16 units
If the source image supplied to the projector has a different aspect ratio from this, or even if it has the same aspect ratio but fewer pixels, then the image will not fill the DMD. The projector therefore needs to scale the image.
9 units
Notes
The projector has five aspect ratio settings, so that you can choose the one that is most suitable for your image source. The settings are:
16:9 the image is scaled to fill the DMD (and thus, a 16:9 screen).
Theaterscope the image is scaled such that a 2.35:1 image will be displayed
at the correct aspect ratio when the projector is fitted with an anamorphic lens. Thus an image with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 can be displayed using the full 16:9 resolution of the DMD.
4:3 the image is scaled to fit a 4:3 screen, using the full height of the
DMD.
4:3 Narrow to be used for 4:3 images in combination with an anamorphic
lens. The image is scaled to fit the DMD vertically, but squeezed horizontally such that the lens will stretch it to the correct ratio.
Native the image is displayed with no scaling, at its original resolution, in
the centre of the screen.
Examples of 16:9 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings
For more information about
changing the Aspect ratio setting, see Using the control keys and Using the menus in section 4. Controlling the
Projector.
The 16:9 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x 1080 of the DMD. Your image may be different.
16:9
Note that, as the aspect ratio of the image matches that of the DMD, the 16:9 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.
Native
Digital Projection M-Vision Cine 230, Cine 260, Cine 400 User Manual 2. Installation
Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings
4:3
The 4:3 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.
If you are using an anamorphic lens, the 4:3 Narrow setting should be used. The lens will stretch the image to the correct width.

Notes
The 4:3 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x 1080 of the DMD. Your image may be different.
If you are using an anamorphic
lens, you will need to use the 4:3 Narrow setting to correct the image.

The 16:9 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.
If you have an anamorphic lens, the Theaterscope setting would be a much better option. Because it uses the whole of the DMD, it will be a much brighter image than the letterboxed options shown above, and will fill a wider screen if this is available.

The 2.35 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x 1080 of the DMD. Your image may be different.
To take advantage of the
Theaterscope setting, you MUST have an anamorphic lens.

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specified 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 sufficient 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 insufficient 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

Optimum viewing position
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor. The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor 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 flipped 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 sufficient 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.

Screen size vs throw distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your screen.
Calculating screen width and throw distance
Throw Distance = Screen Width x Lens Throw Ratio
Screen Width = Throw Distance Lens Throw Ratio
Notes
For more information about the
relationship between screen size, throw distance and converter lenses, see the Lens charts on the following pages.
Three models of the projector are available, fitted with the following lenses:
Throw Ratio Focus range
Fixed lens 0.73:1 to be confirmed
Short-throw lens 1.56–1.86:1 zoom 2–7m (6.6 - 23ft)
Long-throw lens 1.85–2.40:1 zoom 2.5–10m (8.2 - 32.8ft)
Two optional converter lenses are available, which modify the throw ratios as shown below:
0.8x converter 1.25x converter
Short-throw lens 1.25–1.49:1 1.95–2.33:1
Long-throw lens 1.48–1.92:1 2.31–3:1
These throw ratios are correct for images that fill the full width of the DMD. For images that do not fill the full width, the throw ratio will be larger. For 4:3 images, the throw ratio is increased by a factor of 1.33. The effect of this can be seen on the lens charts on the following pages.
Do not confuse the focus range
with the zoom range:
- the focus range is the distance over which the image can be focused using the focus ring.
- the zoom range is the range over which the throw ratio can be changed using the zoom ring.
The converter lens is not
physically compatible with the Fixed lens.

Shifting the image

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen.
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, with the zoom lenses, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image using the Lens shift controls on the top of the projector to maintain a geometrically correct image.
Horizontal shift
adjustment
Vertical shift
adjustment
(Remove
the badge)
Notes
If the projector is fitted with the
fixed 0.73:1 lens then there are no mechanical controls for lens shift.
Slide the badge in the
direction shown below, then gently lift off by hand.
Do NOT prise off using a tool.
If the lens is to be shifted in
two directions combined, the maximum range is somewhat less, as can be seen below.
The maximum range available with no distortion is dependent on which zoom lens is used. The tables below show the maximum range for images that fill the DMD. For images which do not use the full height or width, extra shift may be possible, up to the limit of the lens mount movement.

The image can be shifted by up to:
± 0.6 of the height of a full screen image (known as 120% shift)
± 0.15 of the width of a full screen image (known as 30%)
It is physically possible to shift the lens further than this, however there will be some distortion of the image beyond the ranges specified above.
