english 5 Basic setup 5.1 Lens 5.1.1 Lens and lens mount A range of fixed and zoom lenses is available to cover most applications, both front and rear. The lenses are powered and fitted with a bayonet mount for ease of installation. IMPORTANT! Switch off all equipment before setting-up for proper function. When mounting and changing lenses, be aware that the optical system is exposed to dust and foreign particles as long as the lens is not attached to the system.
english 5.2 Adjusting on screen image size and position Adjusting the placement of the image on screen can be done using the: 1. Adjustable feet (E in Figure 5-1). 2. Lens shift mechanism controlled from the keypad, the remote control, RS-232 or LAN (A in Figure 9). 3. Zoom (for lenses with zoom) in the lens controlled from the keypad, the remote control, RS-232 or LAN (B in Figure 5-1).
The projector is fitted with two individual projection lamps that can be run in various modes. In addition, lamps can be replaced as needed separately. This ensures an optimized cost of ownership. Individual lamp timers are maintained for each lamp. english 5.3 Lamp operation Lamp operation mode is controlled in the INSTALLATION > LAMPS sub menu. 5.4 Ceiling mount The projector can be ceiling mounted using an approved UL tested/ listed ceiling mount fixture, with a capacity of minimum 60 kg / 130 lbs.
english 5.4.1 Ceiling mount cover The supplied auxiliary cable cover can be mounted on the projector to conceal the interface cables and power cord when the unit is ceiling mounted. Connect all cables and fix them in place before the cable cover is attached to the projector. Figure 5-3 shows the ceiling mount cover. Figure 5-3. The ceiling mount cover 5.4.
5.5 Connecting and cables 5.5.1 Setting up a video source english NOTE! Before setting up, switch off all equipment and disconnect the power cord. For best quality video, connect a digital video source using the HDMI 1.3a interface (A) in Figure 5-4. Both HDMI inputs are HDCP copy protection compliant. Depending on cable quality, the projector is supporting the use of cables with lengths up 20 meters (65 feet). A Figure 5-4. Connecting a video source 5.5.
english 5.6 Image alignment For easier alignment of the projector, test images are built into the system. To enable test images, go to the menu entry INSTALLATION > TEST IMAGE. Cycle the various test images using the arrow keys. When a test image matching the aspect ratio of your screen has been found, use the zoom, focus, lens shift and physical projector alignment to match the screen. 5.
The projector menu system has a total of 11 user-selectable languages embedded for easier use all over the world. The default language is English. The available languages are: • English • French • German • Spanish • Russian • Norwegian • Swedish • Korean • Japanese • Chinese Simplified • Chinese Traditional • Portuguese • Italian english 5.

6.1 Controlling multiple projectors with remote control ID (RCID) english 6 Advanced setup The remote control can be operated either in ‘broadcast mode’, or ‘individual mode’. When several projectors are in use in an installation, individual control may be convenient. Individual control is available either by wired remote control, using the data-jack, or by using an individual number code.
english 6.3 Using dual head input For extended flexibility to connect high resolution sources with a pixel clock over 165 MHz, the projector is supporting a dual head input mode. In this mode the left and right half of the image can be connected to the DVI 1/DVI 2 or HDMI 1/HDMI 2 interfaces respectively (Figure 6-1). To enable this mode, go to the menu INSTALLATION > DUAL HEAD SETUP. Side-by-side is the only available option at this time. 1 2 Figure 6-1.
The projector has to programmable triggers with 3.5 mm2 mini-jack connectors. These can be used to enable or disable screens, curtains or other peripheral equipment. To change trigger settings, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER english 6.6 Controlling screens with triggers By default: • Trigger 1 is set to control a screen depending on whether projector is powered on or not. • Trigger 2 is set to control a screen depending on the aspect ratio of currently active source.
english 6.9 Disabling LED indicators In certain installations it may desirable to completely disable the LED indicator in the keypad of the projector. To disable the LED indicators, go to menu entry SETTINGS > LED INDICATORS MUTE. If the LED indicators are enabled, the timeout period can be set in the menu under SETTINGS > BACKLIGHT TIMEOUT. 6.10 Setting the background color The background color displayed when the projector is searching for a source can be set to a set of predefined colors.
The projector has power features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in using these features. All color calibration is done using projectiondesign’s proprietary RealColor™ solution. english 7 Optimising the picture 7.1 Calibration data All projectiondesign projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at the factory for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the lamps the characteristics of the projector might change slightly.
english 7.2 Working with RealColor™ 7.2.1 Setting the BrilliantColor™ correctly The BrilliantColor™ setting is used to control how color boost is applied in the image. It can operate in four modes: • Computer Native (Default): This give max brightness and color boost. Recommended for non-video applications, like CAD and visualization. • Computer Balanced: Gives the same brightness as Computer Native, but has a less aggressive color boost profile.
Gamma The projector features a set of 6 built in gamma curves: Film 2.2, Film 2.8, Video 1, Video 2, Computer 1, Computer 2. The different gamma curves are displayed below. TIP! The names of the curves are descriptive for their recommended use. Use any of the computer curves for video applications will results in significant image noise. english 7.2.2 Figure 7-1.

english Figure 7-4. Video 2 gamma Figure 7-5. Computer 1 gamma Figure 7-6.
RealColor™ operating modes Before any color correction is applied to the image, the feature must be enabled. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™. RealColor™ can operate in 3 modes: • Color temperature/white point correction only. • Red, Green, Blue, White correction. In this mode optimal color coordinates for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow will be computed automatically. • Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White.
english 7.2.5 Defining the system color gamut All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The boundary of the colors the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle in Figure 7-7 is an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system gamut, which is limited by the color wheel selected for the system. The VizSim color wheel has the widest color gamut and the High Brightness color wheel has the smallest.
