Introduction
TransVision™ is a high quality video projection system comprised of two complementary components,
a DLP™ Projector and Controller.
The Controller unit provides source switching for nine different video inputs, including three component,
two composite, two S-video and two RGB H & V Sync inputs and should be installed near its video
component sources.
The DLP™ Projector may be mounted on either floor or ceiling, and may be configured for front or rear
projection.
Signal connections between the Controller unit and the DLP™ projector is made by industry standard
five 75 ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectors for RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC AND CONTROL
signals. The CONTROL cable is used to transmit bi-directional control signals between the DLP™
projector and the Controller unit. The CONTROL cable must be connected in order the system to
function properly.
Two composite video inputs (V1, V2) and two S-Video inputs (S1, S2) are provided for NTSC (480i) or
PAL (580i) video sources, such as off-air tuners, satellite systems, cable boxes, VCR and DVD players.
S-Video inputs are highly recommended for use with DVD players and satellite systems.
Three component video inputs (Y,Cr, Cb) are provided for regular DVD players (480i, 580i), progressive
DVD players (480p, 580p) and HD (480p, 540p, 720p, 1080i) sources.
Two RGB inputs are provided for HD (480p, 580p, 720p, 1080i ) sources and computer graphics with
VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolution.
An infrared wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects the input source and adjusts all of
the operating controls. The system may also be controlled from the front panel or from a RS-232 serial
port.
Both units, the projector and the controller, have IR sensors, allowing the system to be controlled from
either unit.
Video and Image settings for each individual video input may be adjusted and stored separately in the
system's memory. These settings are restored for each input when selected.
The TransVision™ determines the video signal type by measuring horizontal and vertical scanning
frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined video source, the TransVision™ selects video
and image settings from the system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i,
580p, 1080i, 540p, and 720p.
In addition to predefined video sources, the TransVision™ allows the user to create up to three new
video source memory locations per video input.
For more details on how to create memory location for new video sources refer to “Image Setup menu”.
Two 12 V screen trigger outputs are also provided to trigger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift,
or other relay activated device.

1. SWITCHED +12VDC OUTPUTS
The TransVision™ has two switched +12 VDC outlets labeled as RY1 and RY2. These outlets may be
used to trigger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift or other relay activated device. See “Relay
Setup” menu for more details.
2. RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC & CONTROL OUTPUTS
The output video signal from the Controller to the DLP™ projector is made by five 75 Ohm coaxial
cables with BNC connectors for RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC and CONTROL outputs. The CONTROL
cable is used to transmit bi-directional control signals between the projector and the Controller unit. The
CONTROL cable must be connected in order for the system to function properly.
q To test the connection:
1. Press INFO on the remote.
The screen will display either “Controller connected” or “Controller not connected.”
3. RGBS INPUTS
- 6 of 23 -
The RGBS1 and RGBS2 inputs are provided for HD (480p, 580p, 720p, 1080i ) sources and computer
graphics with VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolution. For computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, or XGA, it is
recommended to set the computer to 60 Hz vertical frequency.
For these inputs, the system provides source switching, converts H & V Sync to composite Sync,
provides control of contrast and brightness, and amplifies RGB video signals to allow the use of longer
cable lengths.
The following are the pin assignments for the 15 PIN "D" connector:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
13. Horizontal Sync
14. Vertical Sync
6-9. Ground
4. RS-232 COMPUTER INPUT
The RS-232C serial interface is provided for external control of the TransVision™ from a central
controller, such as a Home Theater control computer, Smart Home automation system, etc.
For DB9 connector pin-out and RS232 command list, please refer to “TransVision™ RS232 Control”
section.
5. S-VIDEO INPUTS (S1, S2)
The S1 and S2 inputs are provided for NTSC (480i) or PAL (580i) video sources, such as off-air tuners,
satellite systems, cable boxes, SVHS VCR and DVD players. S-Video inputs, instead of composite
video inputs, are recommended for use with DVD players and satellite systems.
For these inputs, the system provides source switching, contrast, brightness, color, tint and sharpness
controls, and amplifies S-video signals to allow the use of longer cable lengths.
6. COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUTS (V1, V2)
The V1 and V2 inputs are provided for NTSC (480i) or PAL (580i) video sources, such as off-air tuners,
satellite systems, cable boxes, VCR and DVD players.
For these inputs, the system provides source switching, contrast, brightness, color, tint and sharpness
controls, and amplifies video signals to allow the use of longer cable lengths.
7. COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS (Y-Cr-Cb)
Three component video Y, Cr, Cb inputs are provided for interlaced component video signals from
regular DVD players (480i, 580i), progressive component video signals from progressive DVD players
(480p, 580p), and progressive or interlaced HD signals (480p, 540p, 720p, 1080i) from HD sources.
The TransVision™ determines which type of component video signal is applied to its input and
processes it accordingly.
For these inputs, the system provides source switching, contrast, brightness and color controls, and
amplifies video signals to allow the use of longer cable lengths.
8. AC POWER RECEPTACLE
The AC power receptacle should be connected to a non-switched 120 VAC outlet using the power cord
provided with the TransVision™ system.
