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.

DVI-R-xx DVI-C-2

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.

Projector Installation — Introduction

Physical and electrical installation of the TransVision™ 4 must be performed only
by a trained professional who is knowledgeable about both the specifics of the
TransVision™ 4 and the requirements of the local building and electrical codes.

Physical installation of the TransVision™ 4 may be divided into 3 steps:

(1) Pre-installation planning, which includes plotting the projector-to-screen

distance. This requires knowledge of the screen size and placement. From

this step you will determine where the projector is located.

For throw distance calculation and physical mounting dimensions, please refer

to the customer support section at www. dwin.com.

(2) Preparation and Installation of the ceiling mount bracket, including drilling

holes, securing the bracket to the ceiling and assembling the mounting

hardware.

(3) Final Adjustments.

Once the physical installation is complete, the unit should be properly adjusted.

Focus: Use the front ring of the lens.

Positioning: Use three dimensional physical adjustments made possible by

the mounting hardware.

Size: Use the zoom ring of the lens;

Vertical Offset: The vertical offset is fixed and may be calculated from the fol-

lowing formula: Offset = .081 x W +4.5”. The calculation includes DWIN’s 2 inch

Ceiling Mount Bracket. Please refer to the “projector calculator” section under

“customer support” at www. dwin.com.

(1) PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING

A. Screen Considerations

Although the following advice is no substitute for a dealer’s recommendation for
your home, here are a few guidelines for creating a front projection home theater
that should be helpful to your early planning:

A1. Screen Color and Material:

Because the superior design and quality of DWIN’s proprietary optical system

results in excellent contrast and black levels, images will look best when pro-

jected on a matte white screen from a reputable manufacturer. Many compet-

ing projector companies recommend gray screens but a properly projected

picture will always look better when colors are balanced for white, just like in

a movie theater.

Projectors with fixed-pixel imaging arrays, such as DLP or LCD, are not recom-

mended for use with perforated screens. Perforated screens have highly regular

24

microscopic patterns that conflict with the equally uniform pattern in the digital

image array. This creates interference, a visual artifact called a “moiré” pattern,

which compromises picture quality.

To eliminate light spill, a black felt border is also recommended to enhance the

viewing experience.

A2. Screen “Gain”:

Projection screens do not generate light; they only reflect projected light.

Therefore screen gain refers to relative reflectance to a reference standard. The

most common reference standard is Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3). DWIN

recommends a screen “gain” of 1 to 1.3.

A3. Screen Dimensions and Position

You should consult your authorized DWIN dealer or professional installer for

his or her recommendation. Most screen manufacturers and theater designers

agree that screens should be installed to create a comfortable viewing angle

from a SEATED position. Here are some general guidelines:

• A screen should be wide enough to allow viewers to immerse themselves in

the program without having to move their heads from side to side. As a rule

of thumb, the viewing distance should not be less than two times the screen

width. For example, if your home theater has a 100-inch wide screen you should

have your seats installed no closer than 200-inches from the screen.

• When specifying screen width, remember to allow enough space on the wall

for left and right front speakers, and for the screen to blend with the aesthetics

of your theater environment. Choose a dark, neutral color (and matte, non-re-

flective) background wall surface. Bright wall colors or reflective decorations

can be distracting and could alter the appearance of the image.

• A screen should be installed high enough to allow a comfortable viewing

angle for people sitting in the front row. Eye level (from the seated position)

should be approximately 1/3 of the screen’s height measured from the bot-

tom of the screen.

• Your Authorized DWIN Dealer or Custom Installer should be able to consider

all your home theater design needs and provide you with professional recom-

mendations to enhance your investment.

B. Mounting and Throw Distance Calculation

Before starting the installation you will need to calculate the projector throw dis­tance and the ceiling to top-of-picture offset. The throw distance and the precise
center of the screen are then used to determine the exact location for the physical
installation of the projector.

The TransVision™’s zoom lens allows for a wide range of throw distance op-

tions — the distance from the projector to the screen. For maximum flexibility in

adjustment we recommend that, where possible, the projector be installed in the

middle range of the possible distances. However, the unit may be installed at any

point within the allowable range.

• To obtain the minimum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 1.65.

• To obtain the maximum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 2.08.

C. Screen Offset

Screen offset is the distance between the top of the picture area of the screen and
the ceiling. This distance is important and it should be calculated before the screen
is installed to ensure proper positioning of the projector in relation to the screen.
Incorrect screen offset may cause image keystone distortion and cannot be com­pensated either with the mounting system or electronically. The TransVision™ 4 is
a 16:9 Projector and is designed to be used with a 16:9 screen.

• The screen offset is fixed and may be calculated from the following formula:

Offset = .081 x W +4.5”. The calculation includes DWIN’s 2 inch Ceiling Mount

Bracket.

• Please refer to our TransVision™ 4 Calculator, under the Customer Sup-

port section at www.dwin.com for assistance with calculating these

dimensions.

NOTE: The ceiling mounting system enables you to make small adjustments to
the vertical tilt without introducing visible keystone distortion.

For floor-mounted installations the picture offset is the distance between the

mounting surface of the projector and the bottom of the picture. In order to deliver

26

pictures that are free of keystone distortion, be certain to calculate the offset dis-

tance before ordering screens and/or cabinetry. Although some adjustment range

is available in floor mounted systems by using the adjustable feet.

(2) PREPARING FOR CEILING MOUNT INSTALLATION

2A. Cable Installation

The TransVision™ 4 digital video processor sends a high definition video signal via
a DWIN-proprietary DVI cable. For easy installation in walls, the cable has a ¾” inch
round connector that connects to the front (lens side) of the projector.

DVI cables (with the ¾” round connector) are available from DWIN in 25, 35

and 50 foot lengths. A separately sold DVI Cable Extender box is also available to

support cable runs of up to 100-feet.

In new home theater construction, many installers choose to install the DWIN

DVI cable during the pre-wiring phase when beams and crawl spaces are readily

accessible. Cables can be ordered several months in advance for this purpose.

NOTE:

The DWIN DVI cable must be used to connect the projector and the

video processor. DWIN STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TO RUN THE DVI CABLES

THROUGH A 1-INCH OR LARGER DIAMETER CONDUIT. A CONVENTIONAL DVI

CABLE WILL NOT WORK. FURTHER, DUE TO SIGNAL-DEGRADATION ISSUES, A

CONVENTIONAL ‘GENDER CHANGER’ ADAPTOR IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

Do not coil, tightly bend or crimp the DVI cable; it may damage or short the

wires and compromise the shielding. Do not straddle staple the DVI cable. Doing

so may puncture the cable, damaging or shorting the wires and compromise the

shielding.

During installation inside walls, care should be taken to avoid excessive strain

which may damage to internal cable wires. When the DVI cable is being “pulled”

or “snaked” DWIN recommends that the snake be connected as far down the

length of the DVI cable as possible to prevent stretching damage to the cable or

the connector.

Further, the DVI connector is extremely delicate. Care should be taken to avoid

dropping the connector on hard surfaces to avoid damage.

To prevent interference, DWIN strongly recommends that the DVI cable not be

run in close proximity or tied to any AC power lines! DWIN strongly recommends

that the DVI cable be run through a dedicated (DVI cable only) conduit that meets

NEC or local electrical code requirements.

Once the throw distance has been calculated and the screen installed, the next step
in the installation is to locate the precise mounting position of the projector.

The ceiling mount bracket must be aligned to the middle of the screen and

located as close as possible to an electrical source AND a support beam. If the

projector is not located properly, it is not possible to compensate for any resulting

“keystone” distortion in the projected image.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Before proceeding further with the installation, make certain that video signal/
control wiring and AC power have been run to the projector location. Keep in
mind that the connections to the projector are at the back of the unit.

2. In rooms where the projector is mounted near a rear wall, be sure to allow ad­equate clearance for proper ventilation. Allow at least 24” of rear-facing clearance.
(See Figure 2). Improper ventilation can cause the TransVision™ projector to
overheat, shortening lamp life and reducing the reliability of electronic compo­nents. Projector failures due to overheating will invalidate the manufacturer’s
warranty.

3. When the unit is mounted inside a cabinet, be certain that an exhaust vent is

provided so that the hot air generated by the projector may be safely removed
from the cabinet. DO NOT RECIRCULATE AIR FROM WITHIN THE CABINET. Fail­ure to properly design an enclosure will cause projector overheating, resulting
in premature lamp failure and wear of electronic components. See Figure 3

• When the LED is dark the AC power to the unit is turned off.

• When the LED is flashing on and off, power is connected and the unit is

in the standby mode.

• When the LED is on the unit is powered on.

• When the LED is flashing fast, the projector lamp failed to ignite. The lamp

may have failed or overheated. In case the lamp is hot, wait approximately

1 minute to turn the unit on. If the lamp has failed, contact your DWIN

dealer or DWIN for a replacement.

be made to center and align the projected image to the screen.

Before making these adjustments you should:

1. Turn the system On.

2. Adjust the zoom and focus. Use the On-Screen Menus to help refine focus.

3. Once on screen menus can be clearly viewed, go to Screen Setup menu.

4. Make the following horizontal and vertical adjustments to align the white field
pattern to the screen.

• To move image left or right, loosen both the C1 and C2 hex head screws on

ceiling bracket C. To shift the image to the left, tighten the hex screw on the
right side. To shift the image the to the right, tighten the hex screw on the left
side. Once desired position is obtained, tighten both screws.

• To level the projector front/back, loosen both the B1 and B2 hex head screws

on ceiling bracket B. Tilt/level projector to desired position and once desired
position is obtained, tighten all hex screws.

• To align image parallel to the screen, loosen the A1 and A2 hex head screws

on ceiling bracket A and level the projector. Once image is aligned, tighten all
four hex screws.

• To align image parallel to the screen, loosen the two hex screws on the front

and rear (A1/A2) of the ceiling bracket A and level the projector. Once image is
aligned, tighten all four hex screws.
