SIGNAL INPUTS
EDID on the DVI inputs
If you are using a computer DVI card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically congure itself to suit the
projector.
Otherwise please refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to the DMD™ resolution of the projector
or the nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
Using HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort switchers with the projector
When using a DVI source switcher with the projector, it is important to set the switcher so that it passes the projector EDID through to the
source devices. If this is not done, the projector may not be able to lock to the source or display the source correctly as its video output
timings may not be compatible with those of the projector. Sometimes this is called transparent, pass-through or clone mode. See your
switcher’s manual for information on how to set this mode.
Additionally, sources which use HDCP encryption may not display properly when connected to the projector via a switcher. Refer to the
switcher’s manual for more information.

THE DMD™
The DMD™
A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator which utilises an array of approximately 8.8 million moving aluminium
mirrors, with each one representing a pixel in the nal projected image. The outermost micromirrors in the array remain inactive (pond of
mirrors) and are not used in constructing the image.

THE DMD™
Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt to the left to produce a bright pixel or to the right for a dark pixel. When
light is applied to the complete DMD™, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to the left is projected.

CHOOSING A LENS
Choosing A Lens
A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output.
The following table shows all available lenses in order of their throw ratios:
Throw ratios Lens extension
0.91 : 1 Fixed lens 278 mm
1.13 - 1.66 : 1 zoom lens 270 mm
1.30 - 1.85 : 1 zoom lens 225 mm
1.45 - 2.17 : 1 zoom lens 222 mm
1.63 - 2.71 : 1 zoom lens 134 mm
1.95 - 3.26 : 1 zoom lens 137 mm
2.71 - 3.89 : 1 zoom lens 190 mm
3.7 - 5.3 : 1 zoom lens 262 mm

SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Screen Requirements
Fitting the image to the DMD™
The projector supports 4K and Ultra HD formats and is able to achieve 2K and 1080p via frame doubling.
2K and frame doubled 1080p will not utilize the full width of the DMD™, resulting in pillarboxing, as shown in the illustration.
true 4K (also pixel doubled 2K) = 4096 pixels
UHD (also pixel doubled 1080p) = 3840 pixels
Notes
Reference Guide
true 4K, UHD ( also pixel doubled 2K, 1080p) = 2160 pixels
page 58
Page 67
Model No. NP-PH1201QL
SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specied by their diagonal size (D). When dealing
with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more
convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes into width and
height, at various aspect ratios.
TRUE 4K (approximately 1.9 : 1)
W = D x 0.88 H = D x 0.47
UHD (approximately 1.78 : 1)
W = D x 0.87 H = D x 0.49
H = height
Notes
W = width
D = diagonal
Reference Guide
page 59
Page 68
Model No. NP-PH1201QL
SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of sufcient height and
width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are
planning to use.
Use the conversion chart to check that you are able
to display the full image on your screen. If you have
insufcient height or width, you will have to reduce the
overall image size in order to display the full image on
your screen.

SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Positioning the screen and projector
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a at surface
perpendicular to the oor. The bottom of the screen should
be 1.2 m (4 feet) above the oor and the front row of the
audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see
the top of the screen.
The distance between the front row of the audience and
the screen should be at least twice the screen height and
the distance between the back row and the screen should
be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen
viewing area should be within a 60° range from the face of
the screen.
Notes
The projector should be installed
as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be
easily accessible, so that it can
be disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least 30
cm (12 in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall,
and 10 cm (4 in) on all other
sides.
Do not install the projector close
to anything that might be affected
by its operational heat, for
instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.
The image can be ipped for rear
projection and displayed without the
need for extra mirrors or equipment.
However, you must ensure that
there is sufcient distance behind
the screen for the projector to be
correctly located.
Rear installation is generally more
complicated and advice should be
sought from your local dealer before
attempting it.

POSITIONING THE IMAGE
Positioning The Image
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side,
and adjust the image using the Lens shift feature (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image.
Shifting the lens up (rising front)
Notes
For more information on shifting
the lens, see Lens control in the
Operating Guide.
Whenever possible, position the
projector so that the lens is centered
for the highest quality image.
Reference Guide

Shifting the lens down (falling front)
page 62
Page 71
Model No. NP-PH1201QL
Any single adjustment outside the ranges specied on the following page may result in an unacceptable level of distortion, particularly at the
corners of the image, due to the image passing through the periphery of the lens optics.
If the lens is to be shifted in two directions combined, the maximum range without distortion will be somewhat less, as can be seen in the
illustrations below.

ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED
Aspect Ratios Explained
The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on:
the DMD™ resolution, which is 4K with a 4096 x 2160 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 256:135, or approximately 1.9:1.
the aspect ratio of the input signal, which is 1.9:1 for 4K and 2K images, or 1.78:1 for UHD or 1080p images.
2K and 1080p are automatically scaled by the projector to ll the height of the DMD™.
The 4K and 2K resolutions have a slightly wider aspect ratio. UHD and scaled 1080p do not ll the width of the DMD™, so they appear
centered, with pillarboxing at the sides, as shown in the illustration.
