Checking the

Features

Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The U2­1130/U2-1110 Data Projector

The U2-1130/U2-1110 is one of the very most spectacular data
projectors available today. The unit enables you to project precise
images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your
PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document
camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.

The unit can be placed on a tabletop or cart, or permanently
mounted on the ceiling*. The unit can also be used to project
images from behind the screen.

* Installing the unit on the ceiling must be done by authorized PLUS

technicians. Consult your dealer for more information.

The other main features you’ll enjoy

• Compatible with following various color systems:

– NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
– PAL (Western Europe standard)
– SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
– NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)

• (U2-1130)
Superior brightness of 1300 ANSI lumens, the size of an A4
size/letter size piece of paper, and weighing only 2.6 kilo­grams/5.7 lbs.

(U2-1110)
Superior brightness of 1100 ANSI lumens, the size of an A4
size/letter size piece of paper, and weighing only 2.5 kilo­grams/5.6 lbs.

Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical
design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the
light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for
color reproduction on a single DMD. This means superior bright­ness, smaller size, and lighter weight.

• Sharp, clear images

There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the
individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear
reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look
and notice the difference in quality!

• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors
when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality
data/video sources

Faithful gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image
displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the
true display capacity of the unit.

• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when pro­jecting to the height of the line of vision

Because the projection position is already set to the height of the
line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.

Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of
vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the key­stone correction function.

• (U2-1130, U2-1110)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology

The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these
projectors to present clear compression SXGA images without any
line omission.

• A remote control that can operate the PC or Macintosh

The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a
wireless mouse control to operate the PC or Macintosh con­nected to the unit.

• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary
design complements any office, board room, or auditorium.

Installation

The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines to the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider the place where you
set up the unit and screen before making connections. You also need to consider the screen size and height of the unit and screen as other
important factors.

Tip

A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.

WARNING

• Carrying the unit

Always carry the unit in the carrying case. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected
before moving the unit. When moving the unit or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

• Only use the unit on a solid flat level surface. If the unit falls to the ground, you may be injured and the unit may severely be damaged.

• Do not use the unit where temperatures vary greatly. The unit must be used at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).

• Do not expose the unit to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around the unit to allo w heat dissipation. Do not cover the vents on the bottom or the side of the
unit.

Positioning the unit

The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The minimum image size is about 25 inches
diagonally at a distance of about 1.2 m (approx. 3.9 feet) and the maximum size is approx. 300 inches at a distance of 12.3 m (approx. 40.4
feet) from the screen. Use the following information when you fix the position of the unit.

800 × 600 at 65,000 colors.
1024 × 768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run

decreases. With 2 MB VRAM a computer will generally run:
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
1024 × 768 at 65,000 colors.
