Safety Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See chapter “HD in function of modifying optics”, page To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP.
Page 17
Safety Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated projection screen. As displayed in Image 1– 3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

The Web Communicator application is a uniquely powerful and easy to use built-in web application for the Barco projector. This application provides all the necessary tools necessary to setup and control the connected projector. A comprehensive array of easy to access menu pages provide the projectors digital input, output and screen display via a combination of simple buttons and displays.
Page 22
System overview Quick and Easy configuration Clearly indicated tab pages allow the control of Projector connection, configuration, test, color calibration and configuration with an existing automation system. All actions can be activated by a simple click. Depending on the user level, functions are enabled or disabled in the application. The enabled functions are only accessible via a password entry and that prevents misalignment once everything is correctly aligned.
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. Observing the specification mentioned in this chapter is critical for projector performance.
