2.3 Installing the TD61

The TD61 is meant to be installed on a wall or on an optional stand. It is not designed to sit on its own.

Introduction

The TD61 can be attached to a wall or to an
optional stand. Hardware for mounting is provided in
the accessory kit. Included in the accessory kit are
two mounting bars. The larger of the two is the main
wall mounting bracket. The smaller one is used as a
spacer to keep the TD61 vertical when mounted on a
wall or attached to a stand.

Mounting on a wall

The TD61 weighs about 106 pounds (48.08kg).
The mounting method that you use must be able to
support five times this weight (530lbs., 240.4kg).
Make sure that the wall can support it. Dry wall may
not be sufficient to handle the weight.

The illustration on the right shows the wall
mounting bracket installed on a wall. The wall
mounting bracket is firmly attached to the studs in
the wall. To prevent the wall mounting bracket from
bending, due to the weight of the TD61, there must
be bolts placed within 7.5 inches from each end.

The inset on the illustration highlights a pin on
the main wall mounting bracket that mates with a
hole in the slot on the back of the TD61.

the two pins that mate with the holes in the slot in the
back of the TD61.

CAUTION

Do not lay the TD61 on its face or on its back.
It must be kept upright at all times.

Mounting TD61 on a wall.

1. Install wall mounting bracket bar on wall. Make
sure the wall mounting bracket is straight and
level. If the wall is uneven, use shims to insure
the wall mounting bracket is straight. Be sure to
attach to studs in the wall.

2. Hang the TD61 on the wall mounting bracket bar.
Make sure the holes in the TD61 wall mounting
bracket slot mate with the pins on the hangar bar.

Installing the Lower Retaining Bracket

The lower retaining bracket is not designed to hold the
weight of the display. Its function is to hold the bottom
of the display securely to the mounting surface and to
allow adjustment of the display to insure perpendicu­larity.

• Attach the lower retaining bracket to the bottom of
the display with the side of the angled bracket with
the 4 slotted holes against the bottom of the display
and the other side between the display and the
mounting surface.

• Mark on the mounting surface to locate the bottom
and ends of the retaining bracket. Remove the
retaining bracket from the display.

• Remove the display from the mounting bracket.

• Install the Lower retaining Bracket to the mounting
surface with appropriate hardware and slots. Locate
the bracket on the mounting surface using the
locating marks made when it was on the display.

• Hang the display on the mounting bracket.

• Secure the display to the lower retaining bracket,
leave the screws a little loose to allow for adjust­ment. Use the hardware provided.

• Do not push or pull the display to align it with the
slotted holes in the lower retaining bracket. If the
holes do not align, remove the retaining bracket and
repeat the steps to locate the bracket on the mount­ing surface.

• Use a level or plumb bob to determine perpendicu­larity. Move the bottom of the display either in or
out till the display hangs perfectly straight. Tighten
the screws on the lower retaining bracket.

2.4 Connecting Source Cables

All of the TD61 signal inputs are on input modules housed in an electronic cage assembly accessible
from the left side of the

Analog and Digital Connectors

There is one analog 15-pin VGA type connector
and one standard M1 connector as data inputs to the
TD61. The M1 connector also doubles as a second
analog connector when used with a VGA to
M1adapter.

The TD61 will accept a wide range of computer
resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200). These connec­tors are also used for RGB video with separate H&V
sync, composite sync, or sync on green and HDTV.

Video Connections

The TD61 has three video inputs: Composite
video on a yellow RCA connector, S-Video on a 4-pin
DIN connector and Component video on red (Pr),
green (Y) and blue (Pb) RCA connectors.

All three are compatible with NTSC, PAL and
SECAM.

Audio Connections

There are three stereo audio inputs using RCA
connectors. There is one stereo audio (line out) out­put using RCA connectors and one pair of switchable

3.5mm monaural audio connectors for external
speakers. When external speakers are used the inter­nal speakers are switched off.

TD61.

Control Connections

There is one RS232 input and one RS485 input for
controlling the TD61. There is one RS485 loop
through output that is used as the loop through for
both RS232 and RS485.

Power Connection

AC power is connected to the TD61 at the bottom
left side of the display. An AC power cord is provided
in the accessory kit.

2.5 Connecting RS232/RS485 Cables

With serial control, you can control one TD61 or several TD61s at the same time.

Connect to the computer

Connect the TD61 to the serial out port of a com­puter or another type of controller, such as a video
controller. Connect with twisted pair computer serial
cable, such as Cat-5, using straight-thru cable.
An RJ45-DB9 adapter is included in the accessory
kit. If you lose or need extras, you can convert the 9­pin serial port to RJ45 with an adapter, which you can
buy in most electronic stores.

Wiring the adapter

To go from 9-pin D-sub serial connector on the back of
the ccomputer to an RJ45 connector, use a standard
RJ45-to-9-pin adapter. Wire it internally as shown. The
wiring shown for this adapter is correct for
cables. Straight-thru cables are wired 1-to-1, 2-to-2, etc

.

3.1 Aligning the Image

Aligning the image will probably not be necessary. However should there a be a slight misalignment, it
is important that you do this before you use the Position controls. Adjust the image so that it covers the
entire screen.

What is effective resolution?

The TD61 is the thinnest rear projection DLP
product available. This thin technology comes with
some trade-offs. The ultra wide-angle lens that allows
it to be so thin causes the image to be distorted and
undisplayable at the edges. As a result, the native
1280x720 engine resolution is not viewable on the
screen. The effective resolution of the display (i.e. the
number of pixels visible on the screen) is about
1232x693 pixels, but may vary slightly from unit to
unit. Because the position of internal mirrors and
lenses may shift very slightly during shipment of your
TD61, the effective resolution window may also
shift. The Image Alignment menu allows adjustment
of the effective resolution in order to compensate for
any minor variations that may occur after factory
alignment.

Aligning the Image

1. Turn on the AC power to the display. On first
turn on, the lamp will power up automatically.
(You may choose later to turn off the “auto lamp
on” in the menu. See “Advanced Options: Lamp
Settings” on page 77).

2. Press

TEST PATTERN and use the +/- keys to select

GRID and check ILLUMINATE BORDER

Use the test pattern to align the image to the screen.
The

GRID pattern is good for general alignment.

ILLUMINATE BORDER will allow you to see just how far

from the edge of the screen the active image will be by
turning the background green. The green background
will appear outside the edges of the test pattern. It
will turn to black once you exit the menu.

To access the adjustments on the small mirror,
remove two screws under the center access panel
and remove the panel.

Loosen screw #1 to widen the bottom
of the image.

Loosen screws #2 and #3 to widen the
top of the image.

If initial inspection shows that the image is
square, skip this section and go to Electronic align­ment on page 27.

Squaring the image is be done by adjusting the
small mirror behind the center access panel.

Use the supplied Torx wrench to make the adjust­ments

Loosening all three screws exactly the same
amount will make the image bigger. Adjusting them
in will make it smaller.

Adjusting screws 2 and 3 the same amount will
adjust the width of the top of the screen.

Adjusting screw 1 will adjust the width of the bot­tom of the screen.

Adjust screw #3 to square up the top
right.

Adjust screw #2 out to square up the
top left.

Aligning the Image continued

Bowing

Because the screen is so large, there is a certain
degree of flexibility in the screen that can cause
bowing at the top of the image.

There are three screws in the top of the screen
that are adjustable. When loosened, they allow the
screen to moved out or in to compensate for the
bowing.

The images at the right show the location of
these screws.

1. Loosen the three screws at the top of the screen.

2. Grip the edge of the screen at the top and:

•If the image is bowed down, pull the top of

the screen forward.

•If the image is bowed up, push the top of the

screen back.

3. Tighten the screws.

3.2 Adjusting TD61 To Its Source

The source picture—from computer, video, DVD—is variable and does not always conform exactly to a
standard.

TD61 has a way to compensate for this.

Connections

The TD61 has 3 computer sources: analog 1, ana­log 2 and digital. Analog 2 and digital sources share a
connector. This is an M1 connector. Because they
share a connector, they also share a chip for EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data). EDID is what
tells a computer the type of monitor it is attached to.
It is the mechanism that allows Plug and Play moni­tors to work.

Most of the time, Plug and Play will work just fine
but every once in a while, EDID can get in the way of
smooth operation. TD61 has 2 user controls that
deal with EDID. Plug and Play Enable turns on EDID
for both analog 1 and analog 2/digital. Unchecking
this box causes the host computer to ignore it. The
other user control allows the user to choose whether
the EDID information on the M1 connector is for an
analog monitor or a digital monitor. Most digital
graphics cards will not output anything if they think
they are connected to an analog monitor. The choice
defaults to digital but should be set by the user to
match which input they are using on that connector.

Input levels

Computer signals vary quite a bit from computer to
computer. They even vary between video outputs on
the same video card. Video sources vary more.

To make the TD61 respond correctly to these non­standard sources we adjust Input Levels.

• Input Levels for computer sources, analog,
page 30

• Input Levels for video sources, page 32

What does Input Level do?

For analog computer sources adjusting to the com­puter’s picture output means finding what that com­puter means by black and white.

Black is supposed to be a voltage a zero coming
from the computer’s video card, but it almost never
is. White is supposed to be a voltage of 0.7 volts, but
it usually isn’t either.

The Input Level adjustment process asks you to
provide a picture from the computer that is black,
then one that is pure white. With these, you can
quickly and automatically make the display “learn”
what this computer means by black and white.

The result? Good pictures, using all the dynamic
range of color coming from the computer.

 For Input Levels, you must use black and white coming

from the computer you will use for the program. You
don’t make this adjustment with your work laptop and
then switch to another computer for the display’s
program of pictures.

What does Color Balance do?

Color balancing matches the colors between sev­eral TD61’s.

Displays differ from one another because of very
small differences in the color of the light produced by
the lamp and by differences in the dyes used to make
the color in a DLP™ optical engine.

In color balancing you use the display’s internal
test patterns of white, then gray. The internal pattern
assures that a pure white is used.

How does Input Level relate to Color Balance

If you have more than one TD61 in the area and
you want them to display identical colors, you need
to adjust input levels and do color balancing.

You can do Input Levels first, or you can do Color
Balance first. It doesn’t matter. But they must both be
done.

 Input Levels and Color Balance do not affect each

other, but they both affect the final picture.

• Color Balancing the displays, page 36

3.2 Adjusting TD61 To Its Source

3.2.1 Adjusting to Computer Sources

Digital sources do not normally need adjustment. The best way to adjust levels is the semi-automatic
method.

Adjusting levels semi-automatically

This is quick and easy if you can get a black pic­ture and a white picture from the source computer.

1. Display a black picture from the source. This

must come from the computer source that will be
used for the program. It does no good to use your

laptop for this adjustment, then connect to a dif­ferent computer for the program. Nor can you use
the TD61 black test pattern. (Hint: Make a black
screen from Windows Paint program.)

2. In the

INPUT LEVELS menu, select AUTO BLACK LEVEL

and press

ENTER.

3. Display a white picture from the source.

4. Select

AUTO WHITE LEVEL and press ENTER.

That’s all there is to it. The TD61 is now adjusted to
the black and white levels of this computer using this
video card. If you change computers or video output
cards in the computer, you must do this again.

Adjusting levels manually

1. Display an all-black picture from the source com­puter.

2. Press

PICTURE on the remote to open the PICTURE

menu.

3. Select LEVEL at the bottom of the menu.

4. Select

BLACK LEVEL and adjust it up and down with

the +/– keys to make the three

CENTER POINT values

go to zero. If they do not all touch zero at the
same time, use the individual colors under

LEVEL to adjust them.

. Do not go beyond the point where the Minimum just

goes to zero. The idea is to just touch the zero level.

BLACK

5. Display an all-white picture from the source com­puter.

6. Select

WHITE LEVEL and adjust the levels until the

CENTER POINT values just touch 255, adjusting the

individual colors as necessary.

 It is not a good idea to use the levels to make the

displays match each other. That should be done with
the COLOR BALANCE menu. (3.4 “Color Balancing TD61”
on page 36).

Adjusting levels completely automatically

Open the

BLACK/WHITE LEVELS. You can check the other items, too,

particularly

Now press

AUTO SETUP OPTIONS menu and check DO

FREQUENCY and PHASE.

SETUP. TD61 looks for the darkest pixel

and the brightest pixel in the picture and adjusts
itself so that these are the truly the darkest and
brightest.

When the

BLACK/WHITE LEVELS item is checked, the

TD61 will do this automatic level adjustment when­ever a completely new source is displayed.

What is a “completely” new source?

TD61 remembers all the values in the last 10 pic­tures. If a new picture comes from a different source,
such as from a different computer, and that picture
has almost exactly the same resolution, number of
active lines, number of blanking lines, etc., the TD61
will assume that this is a source it has seen before
and use the remembered setup values. This is a dif­ferent sort of memory from the 40 numbered memo­ries described in 3.6 “Saving Your Work and Recalling
a Memory” on page 40.

On the other hand, if the new source is sufficiently
different, TD61 will engage all the checked processes
in the

AUTO SETUP OPTIONS menu.

When a saved memory is recalled from the

RECALL

menu, TD61 does not do any auto setup.

Which is best: Manual, Semi-Auto, or Auto

The manual and semi-automatic methods are
more accurate. The automatic method works well for
the

BLACK LEVEL, but it is sometimes not accurate

enough for the

WHITE LEVEL.

The good news is that you should only have to do
the manual or semi-auto method once for each com­puter source. Save these settings in the
See “Memory: Save” on page 67 Then use

SAVE menu,

RECALL to

instantly bring it all back.

When to re-adjust levels

You should re-adjust black and white levels when­ever:

• the computer is changed.

• the video card in the computer is changed, or you
switch the source for this display to a different
video card output in the same computer.

• you change the electronics module.

3.2 Adjusting TD61 To Its Source

3.2.2 Adjusting to Video Sources

Video adjustments are quite a bit like the controls on a television receiver.

Adjusting the picture

1. Select a video source in the Picture menu. There
is one composite video, one component input and
one S-Video source available.

2. Press

PICTURE on the remote.

Now you have two choices.

• Adjust using any picture from the video source.

• Adjust using a standard color bar pattern from the
source.

Adjusting with any picture

This procedure must be done after you adjust color

balance (page 36).

1. Choose pictures that have blacks and whites rep­resented as well as a variety of colors.

2. Adjust Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and Hue
on one TD61 until it looks satisfactory.

3. Adjust any other TD61’s so they have the same
values for Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and
Hue as the first TD61.

Adjusting with color bars

1. If possible, use a color bar pattern from the video
source you will use for the program material. You
cannot use the color bar from the Test Patterns
menu.

2. In the Picture menu, check Blue Only. You should
see only the alternate color bars, all of them blue.

3. Adjust Saturation to make the outer two color
bars match. Match them in brightness; they will
already match in color.

4. Adjust Hue to make the inner two color bars
match.

5. Uncheck Blue Only.

6. If the color bar pattern has a pluge, you can use it
to adjust Brightness.

3.3 What Does Colorspace Mean?

3.3 What Does Colorspace Mean?

There are many ways to represent a color picture electronically. RGB and
mon in analog and digital sources. The display will accept either.

What does colorspace mean?

There are two types—
carry the picture information on three conductors or
wires.

RGB

In RGB there are separate conductors (wires) for
red, green and blue. Full white is represented by a
100% signal level on all three conductors. Black is
represented by a 0% level on all three.

Dark red is represented by, say, a 30% level on the
red conductor and 0% on the blue and green.

RGB signals need sync for horizontal and vertical.

This may be:

• separate sync on two additional conductors
(

RGBHV).

• composite sync—H & V sync mixed together—on
a separate conductor (

• sync on the green channel (

In this manual,
one of them is specifically called out.

YPbPr

YPbPr also has three conductors.

•The Y conductor carries the luminance (bright-
ness) signal level as well as composite sync. This
luminance (brightness) signal is developed by
combining red, green, and blue in certain propor­tions: 30% red, 59% green and 11% blue.

•The Pb line carries a signal that represents the
blue component of the picture minus the lumi­nance component: B–Y.

•The Pr line carries a signal that represents the red
component of the picture minus the luminance
component: R–Y.

YPbPr is sometimes called YUV and sometimes
called component video. DVD players often have a set
of three component video connectors.This makes a
picture of substantially higher quality than the single
conductor Video Out–Video In connection.

RGB refers to all of these types, unless

RGB).

 Note: For DVD players outputting component video,

you should use the component input (RCA
connectors). For interlaced signals this will give a better
picture than through the analog input. If the signal is
non-interlaced (or HDTV), you must use the analog
connector.

How does the YPbPr system make green?

At first glance, it may look like the YPbPr system
doesn’t have any way to render something green. But
look beyond first glance.

The Y part of the signal has a green component in
it. Y is made from 59% of the green of RGB, 30% of
the red, and 11% of the blue.

By combining the Y, the B-Y and the R-Y signals
algebraically, it is possible to convert the YPbPr signal
into RGB. This conversion is performed in the elec­tronics module of the TD61.

When the Colorspace item in the Picture menu is
set for RGB, the electronics module sends the three
colors through to the optical engine without transla­tion. It is only processed by the Input Level settings
and the Color Balance settings.

When the Colorspace is set to YPbPr, the input
signal is first translated to RGB before it is processed
by the Input Level and Color Balance settings and
sent to the optical engine.

YPbPr

are the two most com-

Use the correct colorspace

• If the picture is coming from S-Video, Composite
or the Component outputs of a DVD player, the
TD61automatically sets the colorspace.

• For Analog and Digital inputs, colorspace must be
set by the user.

34

This diagram shows the difference between the
RGB and YPbPr signals or waveforms. It is not nec­essary to completely understand these waveforms.

However, it should be clear that if the TD61 is set
for one type, say RGB, and the signal is of the other
type (YPbPr), the
information incorrectly.

3.4 Color Balancing TD61

3.4 Color Balancing TD61

Color Balancing can be done before or after Input Levels.

The object of color balancing is to make individual
units show the same colors. If we have more than one
TD61 in a room we would like them to look the
same. When we see a red car on one of the TD61s it
would be nice if it were the same shade of red on the
other.

The displays naturally have slightly different colors
from one display to the next, because of slight varia­tions in the optics. This cannot be avoided, but we
can compensate for it with color balancing.

Color balancing is subjective. It may seem strange
at first, but it gets easier with practice. Fortunately,
you don't have to match all the colors; you only have
to match whites and grays.

When you make the displays look the same with
White and Gray, all the other colors will look the
same. It is not necessary to achieve a perfect white or
a perfectly colorless gray. It is only necessary that the
displays look alike when they display white and gray.

 Note: Never try to match the colors of the display units

with the Black and White Level controls or with the
Video Controls. You will not like the results if you do.

Color Balancing

1. Turn on the displays and let them warm up for at
least five minutes. The lamps must be thoroughly
warm before you color balance.

2. For each display, access the color balance menu by
pressing

3. If color temperature is important, you should first
set the color temperature. If it is not important,
start with the default 6500K which yields the
brightest display. At 6500K, all the white balance
values are set to 100. Once you start adjusting,
the color temperature will automatically change
to “custom”.

3.5 Scaling and Cropping

Sometimes the picture does not fit the display.The aspect ratio of the TD61 is 1.77 (16x9), the same as
HDTV.



The aspect ratio of a picture is its width divided by its
height. 1280 ÷ 720 = 1.77

The effective resolution of the TD61display (i.e. the
number of pixels visible on the screen) is about
1232x693 pixels, but may vary slightly from unit to
unit.
The aspect ratio of a TD61 is 1.77 (16x9). When the
source picture’s aspect ratio is not the same as the
TD61, you have to do something to make the picture
fit. You have three basic choices:

• Fill the area both ways. This will produce some
distortion in the picture. Circles will not be
round.

• Put the picture in without distortion crop the top
and bottom.

• Put the picture in without distortion and fill the
extra space with black.

Same picture,
Scale Mode = Fill All
Justify=Grayed out
Overscan=0%

A picture with an aspect ratio of 1.33 is shown.
Scale Mode = Normal Video (4x3)
Justify = Center
Overscan=0%

Scale Mode determines how the picture will be made
to fit the display.

• Fill All means that the picture will touch the bor­ders of the display all around, even if this means
stretching (and distorting) the picture in one
direction.

• Letterbox/Pillarbox means expand the picture
until the first edges (top-bottom or left-right)
touch the border of the display, then fill in the
other sides with black.

• Crop means expand the picture until the second
edges touch the border and let the other edges of
the picture fall outside the display and get
cropped.

• Wide screen means force the aspect ratio to 1.77,
the standard for many DVD movies.

• Normal Video means force the aspect ratio to

1.33, the standard for television.

• One to One means show the picture without any
scaling. If it is larger than the display’s native res­olution it will be cropped, if it is smaller it will be
shown with a black border. This is most useful for
1280x720 resolution, in order to show the image
with no scaling artifacts and only a slight loss of
pixels around the edges.

38

Justify determines how the picture will be placed on
the screen.

• If the picture is too wide for the display, and is
cropped on the sides, you can choose
or

RIGHT.

LEFT, CENTER,

• If the picture is too tall for the display and is
cropped top and bottom, you can choose

DLE

or BOTTOM.

,

TOP, MID-

Overscan

Our rear projection technology is capable of showing
every pixel of the incoming image. Historically, CRT
televisions, especially cheaper sets could not reliably
show all the pixels without distortion. Television
industry standards allow a television set to chop off
up to 20% of the image. This is known as overscan.
Some video content assumes that this overscanning
is taking place and may not have picture information
all the way out to the edges. When shown on our dis­play, you may see black bars, lines of white or other
non picture information on the edges of an image.
Use the overscan setting to avoid seeing this. Video
inputs and YPbPr colorspace inputs have a default
overscan of 3% which will match most modern TV
sets. Computer inputs default to 0% overscan so you
see the whole image.

 It may be desirable to display 1280x720 images without

any scaling. Since the effective resolution of the
is less than 1280x720, scaling will occur and cause
some artifacts. To avoid this, choose “ONE TO ONE” for a
scale mode. No scaling will occur and a few pixels on
the edge of the picture will be cropped off. “

ONE” can be used for any input mode. It will be cropped

if it is larger than the effective resolution or displayed in
the center of a black field if it is smaller.

3.6 Saving Your Work and Recalling a Memory

Some saving is done automatically, but there are big advantages to saving your work manually. There
is more information about memories starting on page 67.

How automatic save works

Whatever changes you make with the remote con­trol or RS232 commands, these changes are saved
automatically. If you change sources (switch to
another input connector) and come back to this
source, everything you did before will be “recalled.”
Things will look like they did before.

Suppose you make adjustments to an SVGA
source on Analog 1, then you feed a UXGA source to
Analog 1 and make new adjustments. Then you
switch to the S-Video 1 connector and do some more
setup for it.

Later you switch to the Analog 1 input again, and
this time it has the SVGA source from before. The
TD61 will recognize that it has seen this source
before, or at least a source with these characteristics,
and will recall the SVGA settings you established
before.

This kind of recall includes Input Levels, Position,
and Frequency.

Manually saving to memory slots

The TD61 has 40 numbered memory slots, and
this is the best way to save. Recall is fastest from
memory slots.

First, set up the TD61 the way you want it, includ­ing all the adjustments listed in this section. Then
press the

SAVE button twice. This opens the Save grid.

Navigate to an unchecked slot number, or to a
checked slot if you want to overwrite what’s already
saved. Press

ENTER.

This menu shows all the data that will be saved.
You can’t change anything but the name in this
menu. To save immediately, press

ENTER. The appear-

ance of this menu is somewhat different for digital
and video sources, reflecting what is saved for them.

How to recall a memory slot

1. Press

SAVE once to open the Recall grid.

2. Navigate to the slot you want to recall. You can
only land on slot numbers that have checks. Press

ENTER to open the Recall detail menu. If this slot

number has exactly the same settings are cur­rently being used, a (Current) message appears on
the top line.

3. The only line you can select is Recall Now. Press

ENTER.

 The best practice is to recall settings from memory

slots. It is faster.

To change the name of the memory slot

The default name is an abbreviated description of
the contents. In this case, the name tells you that the
source is connected to Analog 1, which is an XGA
picture. If you need a more descriptive name, select
the

NAME line and press ENTER.

Use the left-right arrow keys to navigate along the
line. Use the up-down keys to change the character at
that point. Press

When AC power is turned on (using the orange
toggle switch on the electronics cage), it seems that
nothing happens for a few seconds. The electronics
module is starting up and initializing itself.

Next, the alpha numeric display on the left front of
the unit will display the message

If the lamp has recently been turned off, and the
optical engine is still hot, the message will read

mence. At the end of the 45 seconds the lamp will
turn on and the lamp fans will start if
on. It shortens lamp life to turn it on when it is hot,
so the fans run for a minute or so to be sure it is cool.

If you have turned off the lamp using the remote
control the TD61 will start a 45 second cool down.
During this time, you cannot turn the lamp on. At
the end of the cool-down period the alpha numeric

4.2 Reading the Alpha Numeric Display

The Alpha Numeric Display provides information on the status of the TD61 including failure informa­tion in case the unit should not operate properly.

The Alpha Numeric Display is an LCD panel located
on the bottom left of the TD61. It is an excellent
resource for troubleshooting as well as providing sta­tus information about the TD61. It provides infor­mation on:

•failure modes

• active source

•source status

• format (if video)

TD61 Alpha Numeric Display

The first line of the Alpha Numeric Display con­tains the following information. Failure modes
(modes that cause the lamp not to light) are prefixed
with!!:

• !! Door Open (either of the interlocks on the front
access panels is open)

• !! Fan Stopped (high voltage power supply fan has
stopped)

• !! Engine Fan Stopped (either the DMD fan, or the
lamp fan has failed)

• !! HV Power Supply (ballast voltage to the lamp
has failed)

• !! Opt. Engine. Com. (optical engine is no longer
communicating with the electronics module)

• !! Lamp Failed (lamp not striking)

• Cooling Down xx (xx is a countdown of the num­ber of seconds, starting at 45, until it is ok to light
the lamp)

• Lamp Saver Active (see page 77)

• Ready (it is ok to light the lamp)

• Turning on lamp

• Running OK

4.3 Controlling TD61 with Remote

You can control TD61 with the remote control or with RS232 commands.

Remote control

The remote control projects a series of IR (infra­red) pulses to the TD61 for control. Aim the remote
control at the bottom left of the screen and press

MENU. The main menu should be visible, if the lamp

is on. When the TD61 receives a signal from the
remote control and the signal is accepted, a solid
block will appear as the last character of the LCD dis­play. If the signal is not accepted or understood an X
will appear.

.

For a complete list of all remote actions, see

6.1 “Remote Control Functions” on page 56.

If the remote doesn’t work

• The batteries in the remote are dead or installed
wrong.

• The remote was not aimed at the screen.

• Something is blocking the IR receiver in the
TD61.

 The remote control has a large spread of its IR

radiation. If you find you are having a difficult time
controlling the
at the lower left corner of the display.

48

TD61, move closer and aim the remote

49

4.4 Controlling TD61 with RS232/RS485

Connect the RS232 In to the computer. Loop thru with RS485.

Remote control with serial commands is a good way
to control a TD61 while it is operating. It’s also an
easy way to control TD61s during initial setup using
a control program.

Display IDs

When the displays are connected in a series loop,
each display should have a unique ID. The ID is set
in the Serial Settings menu.

The G

ROUP ID and the UNIT ID go together to make

the display’s ID. Each of the two parts has a range for
characters from 0 to 9 and from A to Z (not case sen­sitive).

Addressing the displays

When you send a command, it will have an
address. There are five forms of the address.

• To address all the displays in this serial loop, use
** for the address.

• To address a single display, use the specific ID of
that display, such as A6 or 00 or 1B.

• To address all the displays with a certain Group
ID, use an address like 3* which will address all
the displays in group 3.

• To address all the displays with a certain Unit ID,
use an address like *0 or *3.

• When you don’t know the ID of any display, you
can address the first one in the serial loop with ID

--. This will cause only the first display in the
series to perform the command.

Baud rate

Each display’s baud rate must be set to the com­puter or controller’s baud rate. The baud rate is not
automatically established, as it is in modems.

50

Terminating the series

The displays in a group should not usually need
termination, however, if you are experiencing prob­lems try terminating the last display by going to

MENU>ADVANCED OPTIONS>SERIAL PORT SETTINGS and

checking the

TERMINATE RS485 box at the bottom of the

MAIN

menu.

5.1 Changing a Lamp

You will need a slot head screwdriver for this procedure.

TD61How to change the lamp.

1. If you are changing the lamp for any other reason
than it is dead, use the remote control to turn off
the lamp and allow it to cool down. Allow the
lamp to cool down for 15 minutes before remov­ing.

2. Turn off the AC power switch underneath the sig­nal input panel on the back-left of the TD61 and
remove the power cord.

5. Remove the defective lamp.

3. Remove the right access panel by removing two
6x32 screws at the bottom of the panel and slid­ing it to the right.

4. Use screwdriver to loosen the captive screw hold­ing the lamp in place.

 Note: Guide pins are provided to insure the proper

alignment of the lamp and the optical engine.

6. Slide the new lamp into place and tighten the cap­tive screw.

7. Replace the access panel.

Resetting the lamp hours

It is a good idea to reset the lamp hours to zero
when you install a new lamp. If you are replacing a
lamp under warranty, you will be asked how many
hours were on the lamp when it failed.

The following menu train will lead you to “Reset
Lamp Hours”.

53

5.2 Changing the Air Filter

Clean cool air is essential to proper operation of the TD61

When should I change the air filter?

When it gets dirty, change it.

Unfortunately, there is no absolute rule about
when to change an air filter. For some installations
the environment has clean, dust-free air, such as a
corporate lobby. The air filter may be good for a year
or more.

In other environments—airports, subway termi­nals—the air is full of dust and dirt all the time. The
air filter might have to be changed every month.

Of course, it also depends on how many hours per
day or per week the lamp is on and the fans are run­ning.

How to determine a changing schedule.

Remove and inspect the air filter after three
months of operation. Make a note of the air filter’s
condition. Then check it again after six months of
operation.

These two inspections will give you some idea of
how often the filter needs changing. If it doesn’t need
changing after six months, inspect again in a year. As
long as the environment doesn’t change, you can
build an appropriate schedule in this way.

If new construction occurs in the vicinity of the
InFocus displays, watch out. New construction usu­ally means DUST.

2. Remove the left access panel by removing the two
6x32 screws at the bottom of the panel and slid­ing the panel to the left.

Filter housing showing captive fastener on filter.

Changing the Filter

1. Turn off the lamp and wait 15 minutes till the
lamp cools down.The display status readout on
the front of the TD61 will tell you when the cool
down period is over, usually about 45 seconds.
Turn off the AC and unplug the AC cord.

54

3. Remove filter from filter housing.

4. This is the TD61 filter in its holder. Remove the
foam filter from the filter holder.

5. Install new filter in the filter holder and insert the
new filter in the filter housing.

Aspect Ratio

When the aspect ratio of the source picture and the
aspect ratio of the display do not match, Scale Mode
and Justify are used to fit the picture onto the display.
With Scale Mode highlighted in the Aspect Ratio
menu, press enter or the right arrow on the remote
control to access the drop down menu.
Scale Mode has the choices: Fill All, Crop, Letterbox,

or Widescreen.

Fill All stretches the picture as necessary on one axis

to fill the screen. All of the picture is shown.

Letterbox fills the screen by stretching until the first

edges touch the screen edges (sides or top-bottom)
and leaves the rest of the screen filled with the Cur­tain color. All of the picture is shown.

Crop fills the screen by stretching until the second

edges touch the screen edges and crops the rest.
Some of the picture will be cut off.

Widescreen forces a 16:9 (1.77) aspect ratio to display

compressed DVDs correctly. All of the picture is
shown.

Justify moves the picture to the top, middle or bottom,

or to the left, center or right. This has no function
when the Scale Mode is Fill All.

One to One means show the picture without any scal-

ing. If it is larger than the display’s native resolution it
will be cropped, if it is smaller it will be shown with a
black border. This is most useful for 1280x720 reso­lution, in order to show the image with no scaling
artifacts and only a slight loss of pixels around the
edges.

Overscan: As with many rear projection televisions,

the InFocus TD61 uses overscan to ensure image
quality. For video images, overscan is used to hide
video artifacts such as the second audio channel or
the sync information that is transmitted in the vertical
interval. Sometimes this vertical interval will appear
as interference at the top of the screen. Overscan
allows you to adjust this out of the picture area.

For computer data, overscan defaults to 0%.

Diagnostics: Ballast

Ballast menu provides information only. You cannot
change anything from this menu.

Fault. If a fault condition occurs, the lamp will
shut down. However you will be able to query the
ballast via RS232 to obtain the fault condition.
There are 9 fault conditions:

•None

• Lamp over voltage

• Mains over voltage

• Temp too high

• Asymmetry detected (voltage waveform to
the lamp is asymmetrical)

• Lamp under voltage

• Mains under voltage

• NTC defective (temperature sensor for the
ballast electronics)

• Sync frequency outside limits

Voltage. Plateau voltage to the lamp
Temperature Zone. There are 7 temperature
zones reported by the ballast:

• 1 Driver shut down

• 2 Temperature out of spec

• 3 Temperature critical

• 4-7 Temperature ok

Pulse/Plateau Ratio. Current to the lamp consists
of alternating negative and positive plateau’s,
each followed by a pulse.
Software Version. Version of firmware embedded
in the ballast. Not to be confused with the firm­ware version of the TD61.
Status. Can be queried via RS232 should the
lamp be off.

Ballast Not Communicating. If the ballast stops
communicating with the electronics module, the
ballast menu will change as shown. The electron­ics module will lose all control of the ballast and
the ballast voltage will go to maximum. At maxi­mum voltage, the lamp life is significantly short­ened.

73

Diagnostics: Hours

System Time is the number of hours and minutes the

electronics module has been running, that is, how
long it has had power applied to it.

Running Time is the amount of time the optics have

the lamp on, that is, how long light has gone
through the optical parts of the

Lamp is supposed to be the amount of time the lamp

has been on, but it may be only the amount of time
since this meter was last reset.

dvanced Options: Color Balance

Match the whites

Use color balance to match all the displays in a
group. Reset values on all displays to numbers
shown in top illustration with white test pattern.
Match all displays to least bright display. Change
the Blue value as little as possible.
When adjusting
see all three of the red, green, and blue numbers
decrement or increment. This because the
choice adjusts the colors in proportion to each
other, so that the color remains constant as you
adjust the brightness. For example, if you have the
color set at Red-100 Green-80 and Blue-40 and
adjust down 10 clicks, you will wind up with Red­90, green-72 and Blue-36. The color has remained
the same and only the brightness has changed.
Green and blue did not change on every one of the
ten clicks.

Match the grays

Adjust the grays using the gray test pattern, again
matching all displays to each other. Choose one
display that has a neutral gray and match them all,
one at a time, to that one.

Plug and Play enables the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) that is used

by many computers to determine the capabilities of the monitor. This is a compli­cated standard, and not all video card drivers and operating systems act the
same. If you are having trouble getting your video card to output a picture when
attached to our display, you can try disabling Plug and Play and rebooting the
computer, to see if it acts any better. Normally Plug and Play should be enabled.

EDID for Digital/Analog 2 allows you to set up whether you have an Analog or a

Digital source attached to the second connector. This connector shares a single
EDID line between the two sources, so some graphics cards may not work cor-

rectly unless this is set to the appropriate choice.

Retry on lost signal, when checked, means the

TD61 will try again to detect the mode if the sync
is lost or momentarily disrupted. If you have a
noisy signal you want to turn this off to avoid dis­ruption in the image. However, if this is
unchecked the system will not correctly set up
the signal if you change resolutions.

Do Black/White Levels automatically adjusts the

lightest and darkest pixels to be white and black.
This fully automatic method is prone to small
errors in the white level. Semi-automatic level
adjustment is better.

The RS232 cable must be wired straight-thru. You
can tell if a cable is wired straight-thru by looking at
its two ends side-by-side.

1. Hold the cable ends next to each other, both ends
pointing away from you. Have the clips on both
connectors pointing down so you can’t see them.

2. If the color of the wires on the two connectors is
the same, left to right, the cable is straight-thru.
The order of the colors doesn’t matter, as long as
they are both the same.
