Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content. 3D Glasses When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession.
3 Installation This section provides instructions for the installation of the SUPERLUMIS projector. Important: Installation procedures should be performed by a qualified AV system specialist. Location When installing the SUPERLUMIS projector, take the following considerations into account.
Ceiling Mounting Invert the projector and suspend it from the ceiling using a specific bracket. • To fit the bracket unscrew and remove the 3 rubber feet (Do not use the rubber feet to fix the bracket to the projector). • Attach bracket by using 3 x M6 screws not exceeding 15 mm in length For ceiling mounting use only SIM2-approved ceiling brackets and adhere to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided with the bracket. Do not over-tighten the screws.
If it is not possible to position the projector perpendicular to the projection screen (so that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other) you can use the mechanical lens control at the top of the projector to shift the projected image vertically: • insert the provided hex wrench into the vertical lens shift adjuster • turn the wrench to shift the lens in the desired direction The SUPERLUMIS provides up to 50% of vertical lens shift up. For example, with a 16:9 150 in.
• • • throughout the entire signal path ◦ highest available resolution, because video sources can deliver full resolution content via HDMI only ◦ availability of 3D content, because most 3D compatible sources deliver 3D content from HDMI only ◦ optimization of several image parameters (2D/3D content, color space, aspect, signal range, over scan), thanks to auxiliary information (AVI infoframe) sent by the source device together with the signal.
Note: RS-232 communications are limited to 15 m (50 ft.), whereas USB are limited to 5 m (16 ft.). Triggers Some Home Theater devices can be controlled through a 12 V signal. The projector can output three 12 V (100 mA max) signals: • TRIG1 for motorized screens control • TRIG2 and TRIG3 are for motorized screen masks and anamorphic lens motors control.
Charging the battery The glasses are shipped with the micro USB to USB Type A cable. To charge the glasses battery, plug the micro USB cable in a computer or other USB device capable of supplying power. LED will remain lit while glasses are charging. When battery is fully charged LED will go off. For more information on glasses status and transitions, refer to “3D Glasses” on page 21.
4 Operation Viewing 3D Content 3D stereo visualization offers clear and sharp 3D images thanks to 3 chip DLP Imaging technology.
