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 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.

Digital Projection TITAN sx+600 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 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 31 kg (68 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 specification 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
chassis corners and the rigging frame are capable of withstanding the
weight of another projector.
Do not stack more than 3 projectors.
The lens release lever should always be set to the locked position to
prevent the lens from falling out.
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° in either direction when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and
cause extra cost on replacement.

Fitting the image to the DMD
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 1400 x 1050 pixels, then
the image will not fill the DMD. The following example shows how a number of
common formats may be displayed.
Images displayed full height
full height = 1050 pixels

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
W = D x 0.87in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.49in (D x .0125m)
Notes
1.66:1 (Vista)

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
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.

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 and projection distance.
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 fixed. If, however, you are
using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital
Projection MMS 1000 or VIP1000, you may be able to resize the image to fit the
DMD.
If the image does not fill 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 chart
For the screen sizes listed below, use the charts on the following page, to choose
the most suitable lens.
any full width image, including:
4:3 = 1.33:1 1400 x 1050 pixels (native resolution)
1.66:1 (Vista) 1400 x 843 pixels
16:9 = 1.78:1 1400 x 788 pixels
1.85:1 1400 x 757 pixels
Notes
For more information about
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see
Useful lens calculations, later
in this section.

A Throw ratio factor (TRF) of 1.07 would need to be applied, for the charts to be
correct for the following image (multipy the required screen width by 1.07 before
consulting the charts):
5:4 = 1.25:1 1313 x 1050 pixels
Method two: by calculation
See the calculations, on the page immediately following the lens chart.

Lens chart
Use the chart below to choose which lens best suits your application.
example
• For a screen width of 12m at a distance of 35m, the 2.77 - 4.51: 1 zoom lens
would be best suited.
• For the same screen size at a distance of 60m, the 4.51 - 7.53: 1 zoom lens
would be best suited.
if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations on the page immediately
following the lens charts.
Notes
For a 5:4 full height image,
measuring 1313 x 1050 pixels:
A Throw ratio factor (TRF) of
1.07 would need to be applied
for the chart to be correct.

Method two: 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 =
• 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 figures
can be checked using the more accurate figures given on the next page.
• Calculate the throw ratio required. Throw ratio =
• Choose a lens with the required throw ratio from the list to the right.
• Check from the lens charts or the specification, that the lens chosen has a
sufficient throw range.

• An image, 1024 x 768 pixels, screen width 6.5m, throw distance 18m from the
outer end of the lens.
• Throw Ratio Factor (TRF) =

For images that do not fill the
width of the DMD, the Throw
ratio is effectively increased. To
correct for this in these
calculations, a Throw Ratio
Factor (TRF) is used.
