Introduction

5 of 29

This manual contains the information required to properly install, configure, setup and operate the
DWIN HDP-500 data projection monitor. Please make certain that you fully read and understand the
information in this manual before proceeding with any installation.

THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS THAT WILL ASSURE A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL
INSTALLATION. INSTALLING THE UNIT OTHER THAN AS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL MAY LEAD TO
UNSAFE OPERATION AND/OR CONDITIONS WHICH MAY RESULT IN UNSATISFACTORY OPERATION
OR SHORTENED LIFE SPAN OF KEY COMPONENTS. INSTALLATIONS NOT COMPLYING WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY ALSO RESULT IN CONDITIONS THAT VOID THE PRODUCT’S WARRANTY.

The HDP-500 is a totally new projector design, combining state of the art circuit components and
proprietary software that makes installation and operation easier than ever before. In order to take
advantage of this breakthrough product, it is helpful to consider the installation process as containing
five distinct steps. Carefully plan for each of them and your installation will proceed quickly and easily.

• Plan the physical aspects of the installation carefully. Use the DWIN’s HDP-500 Projection software to
make certain that the projector to screen distance is correct for the size and aspect ratio of the screen.

• Adjust the unit while it is easily accessible, BEFORE mounting it to a ceiling or placing it in the final
installation. Pre-setting the unit up to rough in adjustments for focus, screen size, geometry and
convergence will greatly speed your final installation. In addition, it is always easier to make mechanical
and electronic adjustments on the bench than it is on the ceiling! Don’t forget to make any needed
changes to set the unit for floor/ceiling or front/rear projection throw before the final installation!

• CAREFULLY AND SAFELY mount the unit. For ceiling mount installation, make certain that the
mounting hardware is properly secured to the structural frame. For floor or table mount installations, be
certain that the unit is mounted on a firm, level surface that can support the projector’s weight. Make
certain that all mounting surfaces are free from vibration and that adequate space is provided for
ventilation around the unit.

• Once the unit is set or installed in the actual viewing location, carefully follow the mechanical and
physical installation procedures.

• Finally, make certain that you explain all operating features of the projector to the owner and that any
possible compatibility issues with playback software and the chroma decoder, doubler or quadrupler, or
computer used with the projector are resolved.

Pre Installation Preparations

6 of 29

Planning a projection television installation is a critical part of the installation. Even with the extended range of
mechanical and electronic correction circuitry built into the HDP-500, incorrect physical placement of the projector
may place it outside the range of the circuits.

Using the HDP-500 Projection software provided by DWIN, enter the width of the screen, the aspect ratio and the
mounting position of the projector (ceiling, center of screen or floor). The program will automatically calculate the
correct distance from the screen to the projector. Make certain that you correctly plan the mounting position and
that the information obtained from the planning software is carefully transferred to the installation venue.

For Floor Mount Installations

Floor mount locations should be level and solid, with an unobstructed view of the screen. DO NOT place the
projector on carpeting or other materials that will interfere with the circulation of air into the ventilation holes at the
bottom of the unit. Also, be careful not to place the projector in a location that is in the direct flow of heating or
cooling vents or in a damp location.

For Center Screen Installations

Follow the same basic instructions as for Floor Mount locations. In addition, make certain that the mounting
location is capable of supporting the weight of the projector.

For Ceiling Mount Installations

Follow the instructions included with the ceiling mount hardware, making certain that the assembly is carefully
attached to structural beams capable of supporting the weight of the projector. Plan for connections to the
projector of AC power, RGBS connections from the signal source, and a DB-9 connection if the RS-232C port will
be used for external control. To insure freedom from power line interference, a separate and properly grounded
AC circuit should be provided. Avoid the use of circuits connected to mechanical equipment, as they may induce
noise in the video system.

We strongly recommend that these instructions be followed BEFORE final installation. However, if the projector is
already mounted in place, follow these steps to establish proper operating conditions.

When the unit is first received, verify that the carton does not show any signs that may indicate internal damage.
If damage is suspected, make a report to the freight carrier immediately, and follow their claim procedures. In
addition, please report any carrier damage to DWIN.

If there is no obvious sign of damage, carefully unpack the projector. Due to the weight of the unit two people
should lift the projector from the carton. Carefully place the unit in the location where it will be tested and inspect it
again for any signs of concealed damage that may have been incurred in shipping. Report any interior damage to
the freight carrier and to DWIN.

Before proceeding, you may wish to store the carton for future use should the unit require return to DWIN. If you
discard the carton and shipping material, please observe local recycling rules.

Pre Installation Adjustment and Set Up

Unpacking

The HDP-500 is an RGB/Sync monitor, which means that it requires an external, line doubler, line quadrupler, or
chroma decoder for video playback. A computer interface may be required for display of computer images.
Connect your video and/or data sources to the external interface or processor, and then connect the RGBS
outputs of the processor, doubler, quadrupler or interface to the signal and sync connections on the HDP-500’s
front panel.
If composite sync is used, connect it to the “H/C Sync” terminal. If separate horizontal and vertical sync are used,
make connections to the appropriate terminals. The HDP-500 will not operate with “sync on green”.
Connect the AC power cord to the front panel and to a wall mounted AC power outlet. The use of extension cords
is not recommended.

6. AC Power Input: Connect the supplied AC power cord this receptacle.

7. The POWER LED is a multi-purpose indicator:

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 to the unit, this indicates that
the unit is in the standby mode.

When the LED is on the unit is powered on.

NOTE: Depending on the configuration of the “Auto Power” the unit may be in a “Stand
By” mode, awaiting signal information. ALWAYS REMOVE THE AC POWER CORD TO
POSITIVELY TURN THE UNIT OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS.

8. IR Sensor: This window is the sensor for the HDP-500’s remote control system. For best

operation, make certain that the sensor has a direct view of the screen so that remote
commands made by pointing the control at the screen will be bounced back to the sensor. If the
sensor window is obstructed a remote IR extension system should be used.

9. RS232C Port: This DB-9 plug is used to operate the HDP-500 directly from a compatible
computer using the supplied software.

NOTE: THIS IS A DATA PORT ONLY. DO NOT MAKE ANY VIDEO SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
TO THIS INPUT!

Preparation for adjustment

8 of 29

Before initial adjustments are made to the unit, locate the correct distance from the
screen. This distance should be obtained by using the HDP-500 Projection software
supplied to you. Make certain that the front rubber feet are set so that the unit is level
and parallel to the floor. You may wish to verify this with a standard carpenter’s level.

In order to make certain adjustments, it is necessary to remove the unit’s cover.

First, loosen the screws at either side of the green (center) lens about 1/2” until the
cover panel pops up. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws. Next, push in
on the metal tabs at either end of the cover and gently pull the cover upward. While
holding the cover, pull it forward to remove it from the unit.

Remote Control Operation

The HDP-500 has no on board user controls. All operation is controlled through the wireless remote control or the
optional RS-232C link to a computer or control system.
