6Quick-Start Procedure
This quick-start assumes default conditions as shipped.
1. Power up the DLP LightCrafter™ Display 3010 EVM Gen2 by applying an external DC power supply
(19 V DC, 4.75 A) to the J9 connector.
External Power Supply Requirements:
•Nominal Output Voltage: 19 VDC
DLPU058–September 2017
Submit Documentation Feedback
•Minimum Output Current: 2.5 A; Max Output Current: 4.74 A
•Efficiency Level: VI
NOTE: TI recommends using an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety
standards such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, PSE, etc.
NOTE: The system is designed to operate also with an external 12-V DC power supply. The P5V_VIN
(D9) and P3P3V_SB (D10) LED will turn on to indicate that 5-V and 3.3-V standby power is applied.
2. Move SW2 switch to the ON position to turn on the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM-G2. When the
DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM-G2 is turned on, the PROJ_ON LED (D4) will turn on.
3. After the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM-G2 is turned on; the projector will default to displaying a
DLP LightCrafter Display splash image.
4. The focus of the image can be adjusted manually on the optical engine.
5. Connect the USB to the DLP LightCrafter™ Display 3010 EVM-G2 and open the latest GUI on your
computer. If needed, connect an HDMI source to the EVM and communicate to the EVM via the GUI
software.
6. When turning off the projector, turn off the SW2 switch prior to removing the power cable.
Note: To avoid potential damage to the DMD, it is recommended to turn off the projector with the SW2
switch before disconnecting the power.
There are ten indicator LEDs on the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM, and they are defined in Table 2:

The DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM-G2 is composed of three parts:
•Main board
•DLP LightCrafter Display board
•Engine with LED connection and Flex cable
The main board contains the connector for the power supply, a USB connector to communicate to the
DLP LightCrafter Display software, HDMI and the connector for the DLP LightCrafter Display board. The
main board also contains a switch to turn on the projector in case the DLP LightCrafter Display board and
the engine are connected. Figure 5 shows the main connectors on the main board.
The DLP LightCrafter Display board contains the RGB LED connectors, the Flex cable connector, and the
main board connector. To connect the main board to the DLP LightCrafter Display board, refer to Figure 6.
Note that the main board connector on the DLP LightCrafter Display board is on the bottom, while the LED
and Flex cable connectors are on the top.
