Cautions Regarding Phosphor Burn
DWIN is not responsible for any phosphor burn and it is not covered by the
warranty.
As with all phosphor-based display devices and other plasma displays, plasma
monitors can be susceptible to a condition called phosphor burn under certain
conditions. Phosphor burn describes a condition when latent images remain on
the screen even when the original signal is not displayed. The condition may
occur in any display using phosphors (CRT projectors, direct view monitors,
plasma screens).
The condition is most likely to occur when displaying a static image (e.g., news
channel, stock market ticker, DVD menu screens, video games) for long periods
of time.
To protect your investment in your DWIN Plasmaimage™, DWIN recommends
the following guidelines to minimize the possibility of phosphor burn:
1. Display only moving images.
2. Avoid displaying fixed images for prolonged periods of time (no more than five
minutes).
3. Display 16:9 (wide screen) video sources.
4. View 4:3 video sources only with the Sidebars option On.
5. Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
6. Always power off your Plasmaimage™ when you are finished viewing.
7. Use the DWIN Motion Adaptive
™
Screen Saver mode and Sidebars option at
all times.

Introduction
DuoVision™ is a high definition dual-display system for multi-room home theater
installations. DuoVision™ comprises a native-rate digital video processor that serves
as the central control device plus a choice of two high definition display devices:
a TransVision™ 4 video projector and a Plasmaimage™ display.
The DuoVision™ dual-DVI output digital video processor is the heart of the
system. It can be conveniently located near all video gear in a central location,
eliminating the need to duplicate video input sources when delivering HD signals
in a second room. This unique system design (with a centralized controller/video
processor) simplifies cable connections and installations: a single-connection DVI
cable delivers uncompressed high definition video signals up to 50-feet from the
source*.
The native-rate DuoVision™ processor accepts 10 different video inputs includ-
ing two DVI-HDCP, 2 RGB, 2-Component, 2 S-Video and 2-Composite inputs. The
DuoVision™ processor then delivers two separate DVI-HDCP outputs to either a
DWIN TransVision™ 4 projector or a Plasmaimage™ plasma display. Each output
can be independently controlled and viewed, showing the same or different high
definition video programs.
Like all DWIN processors, DuoVision™ provides true high-definition and stun-
ning, film-like images. DWIN’s acclaimed video processing technology optimizes
and converts the video signal to match native resolution of your digital display.
• Deep black levels and natural color reproduction are secured with precision
gray scale settings and gamma selections;
• Motion artifacts are virtually eliminated with Adaptive Film Mode Processing;
• Picture depth is increased with Signal Dynamic Range Expansion.
The result: exceptional movie theater realism in any room of your home.
The DuoVision™ system comes complete with two IR/RF programmable/learn-
ing remote controls that operate the system as well as video and audio sources.
A remote control expander is also included to expand the range of the system to
100-feet.
The DuoVision™ system also offers discrete IR and RS-232 codes for integration
into popular home automation systems. Combined with third-party multi-room
audio systems, DuoVision™ can become the heart of a sophisticated, multi-zone
home theater system.
Two programmable 12 Volt screen trigger outputs are also provided to trigger
a relay in an electric screen, projector lift, or other relay activated device.
DuoVision™ sets a new standard for performance and installation flexibility for
advanced digital home theater.
* Distances of up to 100-feet are available with the use of DWIN’s DVI Cable Extender system and two 50-foot DWIN DVI Cables. DVI Cables and Cable Extender
sold separately.

Special Note about In-Wall Installations and Cable Lengths:
A standard rectangular DVI connector is fairly large in size (approximately 2” wide)
making it difficult to run through the walls. DWIN’s solution is to terminate one
end of the DVI cable with a .75” circular connector that can easily run through a
1” conduit (figure 1).
DWIN offers a series of unique (DVI-R-xx) cables in threedifferent lengths: 25, 35
and 50 feet. Part numbers for these cables are DVI-R-xx, the “xx” refers to the length
of the cable. For cable lengths longer than 50 feet, use DWIN’s Cable Extender.
2. DVI INPUTS
The DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs are HDCP-compliant for High-Definition (480p, 580p,
720p, 1080i) sources or computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, and WXGA
resolutions. For computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, or WXGA it is recommended to set the computer to 60 Hz vertical frequency.
If your computer video card has DVI output, connect the DVI cable to the DVI
1 or DVI 2 inputs of the Digital Processor. Select the corresponding DVI input by
pressing “9” or “0” on the remote control, then activate the DVI output from the
computer by using computer’s display set-up menu.
