2.1.2 Position the Projector
2 people are required to safely lift and install the projector.
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular to the screen at a suitable
distance. The further back the projector is positioned for the screen, the larger the image will be.
To level the projector adjust its 3 feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will
appear rectangular instead of keystoned.
2.1.3 Connect a Source
The input panel where all source connections are made, is located at the back of the projector. Each input is
clearly labeled for easy identification. Depending on the type of option card installed, connect your source
using the appropriate cable(s), as follows:
• Analog Input Card: Connect 3-, 4-, or 5-wire RGB source to Red/Pr, Green/Y, Blue/Pb, H/C and V using 3,
4 or 5 BNC connectors as required.
• Dual 3G/SD/HD - SDI Input Card: Connect the SDI (Serial Digital Interface) cable to one of the two
inputs, 1-IN or 2-IN. Both standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) signals are accepted and
automatically recognized on either input.
• Dual Link DVI Input Card: Connect a single or dual DVI video signal to the DVI-I connector, an analog
video signal to the DVI-I connector or an analog video signal to the VGA connector. The DVI signal may
contain HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
• Twin HDMI Input Card: Connect HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable to one of the two
inputs, 1-IN or 2-IN.
• Video Decoder Input Card: Depending on the source you can apply the following;
• Composite video source to 1-CVBS, using a BNC Cable. Same signal can be used on 4, 5 or 6 when input
is selected as CVBS.
• A component signal on Inputs 4(Pr), 5(Y), 6(Pb) using BNC Connectors.
• S-Video to one of the two, 2-SVID or 3-SVID using S-Video cable.
• S-Video using two BNC cables, with Luma (Y) connected to 4 (Sy) and Chroma (C) connected to 6 (Sc).
• DMX512 Interface Card: Has two 5pin XLR connectors - 1 (input) male and 1 (output) female. If there is
active communications on the DMX512 Interface card the power LED will blink between low intensity and
high intensity.
2.1.4 Connect the Line Cord
IMPORTANT!Use the line cord provided with the projector, or ensure you are using a line cord, power plug
and socket that meet the appropriate rating standards. Voltage and current requirements are
listed on the license label, located at the back of the projector.
Connect the projector line cord to the AC receptacle at the AC inlet of the projector, then push the wire clip
over the plug to retain it. This prevents the line cord from inadvertent disconnection. Plug the 3-pronged plug
end into a suitably rated grounded AC receptacle. Switch the projector ON. The switch is located just above
the AC receptacle.
NOTE: This product can be connected to an IT power distribution system.
Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord is not within the specified
ratings. On power down, wait 5-10 minutes for the fans to turn OFF before
unplugging the projector. Always switch off the projector before unplugging
the AC line cord.
