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.

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.

2. Installation Digital Projection TITAN HD-500, HD-250 User Manual

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.

Choosing a lens by calculation

For any screen size not listed above, or if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations below.

Identify actual width of the image in pixels.

•

Calculate the Throw Ratio Factor: TRF = DMD width (1280)

•

Image width in pixels

Identify the screen width required.

•

Identify the throw distance required.

•

Throw distance calculations are based on the distance from the outer end of the lens, which will vary from lens to lens. Once a lens has been chosen, the ﬁ gures can be checked using the lens extension values given on the next page.

Calculate the throw ratio required. Throw ratio = Throw distance

•

Screen width x TRF

Choose a lens with the required throw ratio.

•

Check from the lens charts or the speciﬁ cation (see section 7. Appendix), that the lens chosen has a sufﬁ cient throw range.

example

An image, 1024 x 768 pixels, screen width 6.5m, throw distance 18m from the

•

outer end of the lens.

Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) = 1280 = 1.25

•

1024

Throw ratio required = 18 = 2.22

•

6.5 x 1.25

Choose the 1.8 - 2.4 zoom lens.

•

Notes

The Throw ratio for a particular

lens is ﬁ xed, and assumes that the image ﬁ lls the width of the DMD.

For images that do not ﬁ ll the

width of the DMD, the Throw ratio is effectively increased. To correct for this, a Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) is used.

Shifting 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 to maintain a geometrically correct image.

Any single adjustment outside the ranges speciﬁ ed below may result in an

If you are using a computer DVI card or other source that obeys the EDID handshaking protocol, then the card or source will automatically conﬁ gure itself to suit the projector.

If not, then you should refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to 1280 x 720 or the nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
