Connector Panel

The projector provides eight discreet video connectors:

• two red-green-blue RCA (SD/ED/HD component)

•two S-video

•one composite RCA

• one M1-DA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, DVI, and computer)

• one VESA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, and computer)

• one D5 (SD/ED/HD component, RGB SCART)

It also has a mini-jack input for a Niles or Xantech-compatible IR repeater and an RS-232 connector for serial control. The Command Line Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are listed in the Appendix starting on page 37.

Two 3.5mm mini-jack triggers provide 12 volt current. Trigger 1 provides a constant output while the projector is on. For example, if you connect your projection screen to Trigger 1, when you turn on the projector the screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage position. Trigger 2 provides a 4:3 aspect trigger. When you select 4:3 in the Aspect Ratio menu or from the Resize button on the remote, a 12v signal will be sent after a five second delay. Use this trigger for screens with 4:3 aspect curtains. When you switch back to 16:9 format, the curtains open to reveal the entire screen.

For details on each connector type and their inputs, see page 35.

Positioning the projector

There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines.

1 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source. To ensure adequate cable access, place the projector at least 6 inches (0.15m) from a wall or other objects. Place the projector at least 5.6 feet (1.7 m) from the projection screen.

If you install the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see page 29. InFocus recommends use of an authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately.

2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. For more information about projected image sizes, see page 34.

10’ high image

The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 116%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.6’ above the center of the lens.

Go to www.infocushome.com/support for a complete image size calcula- tor.

Video connections

Table 1: Video connections

You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.) Audio must be provided by your own speakers, as the projector has no separate audio controls. If there is more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI, Component video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, followed by S-video, and then composite video

Connecting a video device

If your video device has more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI video has the best quality, followed by Component video, S-video, and then composite video. If the video device uses component cable connectors, plug the cable’s green connectors into the green component-out connector on the video device and into the green component connector (labeled “Y”) on the projector. Plug the component cable’s blue connectors into the blue component-out connector on the video device and into the blue component connector (labeled “Pb”) on the projector. Plug the component cable’s red connectors into the red component-out connector on the video device and into the red component connector (labeled “Pr”) on the projector. If the video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video cable into the S-video connector on the video device and into the S- video connector on the projector. If the video device uses a yellow composite video connector, plug a composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video connector on the projector.

If the video device uses a DVI connector, plug an M1-D cable into the videoout connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the M1-DA connector on the projector.

Shutting down the projector

Troubleshooting your setup

Power S av e

The projector has a Power Save feature in the System menu that automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have passed.

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the Power button. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for about one minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.
