Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual 2. Installation Fitting the image to the screen Notes It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are planning to use. Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height or width, you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on your screen.
2. Installation Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Positioning the screen and projector Notes For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor. The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the screen.
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Choosing a lens 2. Installation Notes A number of lenses are available for use with the projector. Which lens you choose will depend on the screen size, image aspect ratio and projection distance. If you are simply connecting the output of a camera or computer directly to the projector, then the image size (in pixels) may well be fixed.

2. Installation Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Method two: Choosing a lens by calculation Notes For any screen size not listed above, or if you need to be more precise, then use the calculations below. • Identify actual width of the image in pixels. • Calculate the Throw Ratio Factor: • Identify the screen width required. • Identify the throw distance required.
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Useful lens calculations Notes The Throw ratio for a particular lens is fixed, but assumes that the image fills the width of the DMD. The following lens calculations may be useful: Throw ratio = Throw distance Screen width Throw ratio factor (TRF) = DMD width in pixels = image width in pixels 2. Installation 2048 image width in pixels For images that do not fill the width of the DMD, the Throw ratio is effectively increased.
2. Installation Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Shifting the image Notes 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 to maintain a geometrically correct image. For more information on using the Lens shift feature, see section 4. Using the menus, Lens menu.
Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual 2. Installation Fitting the lens Notes • Turn the lens release lever anti-clockwise to open the lock. • Turn the zoom drive mechanism anti-clockwise to disengage the drive. • Insert the lens into the lens aperture, making sure that the two notches on the lens engage with the locating tab inside the lens mount. • Turn the lens release lever clockwise to lock the lens in place.

Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Using Windows Hyperterminal to connect to the projector Many features of the projector can be controlled remotely by sending ascii character strings to the serial control input, or via a LAN, using the protocol and syntax described in the following pages. If you are using a PC running Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 or XP, you can send the control codes using Windows Hyperterminal.
6. Appendix Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual Remote communications protocol Version 1.2 Patch A Each command string sent to the projector should start with character 0x0a and end with character 0x0d. If you are using Windows Hyperterminal, then this will be taken care of by the Ascii Setup described on the previous page.
