• prevent injuries and physical damages, always read and observe this manual and all labels on the system before
assembly, construction, and adjustments.
• Do not use the system outdoors to prevent fire hazards and electric shocks caused by water entering the system.
• To prevent injuries, take note of the sharp edges of this system.
• When performing setup work at high places, to prevent the falling down of the system and damages caused by
falling objects, set the Keep Out area.
• To prevent fire hazards and electric shocks, do not place foreign objects in the system nor remodel it.
• To prevent fire hazards, observe the following using environment.
Temperature : 5 to 35 °C
Humidity : 20 to 80%
• Perform ventilation with the fan etc. and observe the operating environment conditions even after completing assembly.
• Never install the system tilted.

CHAPTER 1.FEATURES
FEATURES
1. FEATURES OF THE MULTI PROJECTION UNIT
(hereinafter referred to as the “MPJ”)
¶ Thin, space-saving design (75 cm deep), and installable flush against the wall (when stacked in two levels in
a 4-screen configuration, etc.)
¶ Split structure for easy carrying and assembly
The structure is split by screen, making it easy to carry and assemble the system.
¶ Excellent features with a reasonable price
¶ Can be stacked in up to three levels
¶ Under 2 meters high when stacked in two levels, allowing installation in stores with low ceilings
¶ Improved adjustment procedures
• Uniform, simplified ABL level adjustment using ABL control voltage indication.
• Lists of main deviation and white balance adjustment values can be displayed when performing adjustments
with the remote control unit, making it simple to check adjustment values and compare with other screens.
¶ Variety of screens available
1. Screw width approx. 4mm (RM-V2550S)
2. Screw width 1mm (RM-V2550S2)
¶ Usable in bright places
High screen brightness (420 ft-L), allowing use in lobbies exposed to external light and bright offices.
¶ Full of functions for providing high picture quality with enlarged images and a strong sense of picture unifor-
mity
• Though the peripheral brightness is sufficient for multi-screen images, a “multi” function is also included for
activating a peripheral light compensation circuit and achieving enlarged pictures with even more uniform
brightness. There is also a function for achieving the optimum contour compensation level with enlarged
images, thereby providing natural, high quality enlarged pictures.
• An auto white balance function and ABL (Auto Brightness Limiter) linking function suppress differences in
colors and brightness on the different screens.
¶ Convergence memory function
Up to three sets of adjustment data in addition to the standard factory default settings can be stored in the
memory.
5
FEATURES
¶ “Color mode selection function” for convenient camera reshooting
The MPJ is equipped with a “color mode selection function” allowing the selection of two white balance data
settings. When used for example in a broadcast station’s studio for reshooting, the colors will be unnatural if
a camera suited to the brightness in the studio is used, but if one color temperature is set to 4500°K, natural
colors can be reproduced at the touch of a button.
¶ On-screen display function
Adjustment values and various settings can be displayed on the screen.
¶ External control function
The MPJ is equipped with an RS-232C external control terminal. This makes it possible to use a computer to
perform the various adjustments, and provides possibilities for various types of visual presentations. Transfer of control signals to the individual multi projection units is possible in daisy chain format by connecting
the combination terminals using interconnection control cables (DIN 6-pin connectors, included). No complicated connections are necessary. The multi projection units can be assigned ID numbers and still be adjusted
individually after the system is expanded.
¶ Dual NTSC/PAL compatibility
The individual multi projection units display high quality pictures with either NTSC or PAL inputs.
¶ Wired remote control unit (RU-V107, sold separately) available for adjustments
The wired remote control unit can be used for adjusting the convergence, white balance and other settings
while watching the picture from the front when setting up the multi picture system.
2. FEATURES OF THE MULTI VIDEO PROCESSOR
(hereinafter referred to as the “MVP”)
¶ Multi video processor for 4-screen enlarged images
¶ Compact, space-saving design
¶ Adjustment remote control unit/computer relay function considering system installation
¶ Expandable through the addition of an option board (one)
3. FEATURES OF THE PROJECTION STAND
(hereinafter referred to as the “Stand”)
¶ EIAJ rack mount function
¶ Casters for easy moving
¶ Built-in adjuster for level adjustment

cable is disconnected from the outlet, the switch settings in ! above, the TV system and the convergence
memory settings will not be stored in the last memory.)
Thus, for permanent installations, to start up and stop the entire system by turning the AC power on and off,
the power must first be turned off as described above in order to store the settings in the last memory.

magnification ratio and it is more effective as smaller of
the magnification ratio. Yet, it does not work in vertical

NTSC, a video image position is initialized to data that
was preserved with each mode before. Do so that you
