2.9.2 Turning ON the Projector

After the breaker/power switch (located on the ballast) has been switched ON, follow the procedure described
for the Roadie HD+35K system in

2.9.3 Set Cable Length

Lamp
In the menu, set the "Cable Length (m)" slidebar to match the length of the high-voltage DC cables
connected between your lamp ballast and projection head. This regulates the voltage drop that occurs over
distance, and ensures that adequate voltage reaches the lamp. Particularly in projectors rented for temporary
installations, this setting may have to be changed from its last use. Adjustment range is 2-30m (6½-100 ft.).

2.10 Maximizing Light Output

NOTE : By default from the manufacturer, this projector is optimized for brightness rather than wider color gamut
or higher contrast ratio-i.e., neither a small-diameter contrast ratio aperture nor the yellow notch filter is
installed in the projector. These are options.
Upon powering up the projector with a
newly-installed/replaced lamp, adjust lamp
position to help ensure optimized
operation as well as peak brightness at the
screen-you do not need an image displayed
yet. Once you have done this LampLOC
adjustment, the lamp will be well-centered
and distanced correctly from the remainder
of the illumination system. It can be re-
adjusted as needed at any time.
For best results in most applications, use
Do Auto
the button. The motorized lamp
adjustments begin and, in conjunction with
an internal light sensor, take a minute or
two to position the lamp for optimized
brightness. If desired, you can operate the
motors individually and use the "Intensity"
reading at the top of the menu for
feedback.
NOTE
: Lamp must be ON and shutter open
during LampLOC™ adjustment,
however the projector does not
need to be displaying an image.

2.11 Basic Image Adjustment

NOTE : Assumes a single projector is powered up in its final location.
This initial optical alignment procedure is the foundation for optimizing your displays, ensuring that images
reflected from the DMDs are parallel to and well-centered with both the lens and screen. It should be
completed before adjusting the lens boresight.
