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
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVER touch the lamp or refl ector.
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 1500 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 fi re
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
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 qualifi 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 approximately 27 kg (50 lbs). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all 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 specifi cation for exact weights).
Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each
projector.
Notes
±12°
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 stack more than 3 projectors.
Do not drop or jarr 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° 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.
Operation and confi guration precautions
Do not make changes to the networking confi 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.

Aspect ratio
Fitting the image to the DMD
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 1280 x 720 pixels,
then the image will not fi ll the DMD. The following example shows how a number
of common formats may be displayed.
Images displayed full width
= 544 pixels
2.35:1(Scope)
full width = 1280 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.

Images displayed full height
5:4 = 1.25:1 = 900 pixels

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specifi 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)
4:3 = 1.33:1
W = D x 0.8in (D x .02m) H = D x 0.6in (D x .015m)
5:4 = 1.25:1
W = D x 0.78in (D x .02m) H = D x 0.625in (D x .016m)

Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of suffi 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 insuffi 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 fl at surface perpendicular to the fl oor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the fl 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 fl 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 suffi 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.

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
0.63 : 1 fi xed lens 001-734 102-373
0.96 : 1 fi xed lens 001-735 102-835
1.2 - 1.44 : 1 zoom lens 001-736 102-374
1.44 - 1.8 : 1 zoom lens 001-737 102-375
1.8 - 2.4 : 1 zoom lens 001-738 102-376
2.4 - 3.6 : 1 zoom lens 001-739 102-377
3.6 - 5.6 : 1 zoom lens 001-740 102-378
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 fi xed. If, however, you are
using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital
Projection VIP1000, you may be able to resize the image to fi t the DMD.
If the image does not fi 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.
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.
Notes
The High Brightness lenses are
recommended for the HD-500,
for maximum light output.
The High Contrast lenses are
recommended for the HD-250,
for maximum contrast.
For more information about
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see
Useful lens calculations, later
in this section.

Full height images
A Throw ratio factor (TRF) has been applied to the following charts:
1.66:1 (Vista) 1195 x 720 pixels TRF = 1.07
4:3 = 1.33:1 960 x 720 pixels TRF = 1.33
5:4 = 1.25:1 900 x 720 pixels TRF = 1.42
Method two: by calculation
See the calculations, on the page immediately following the lens chart.

Choosing a lens using the lens charts
Use the charts on this page and on the following pages to choose which lens best
suits your application.
Full width images, including 2.35:1, 1.85:1 and 16:9 (native resolution)
example
For a screen width of 6m at a distance of 13m, the 1.8 - 2.4: 1 zoom lens would
•
be best suited.
For the same screen size at a distance of 18m, the 2.4 - 3.6: 1 zoom lens would
•
be best suited.
if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations on the page immediately
