HT3000 HOST

6 INSTALLATION

POSITIONING THE 2 UNITS
The HT3000 HOST system is made up of two separate units
(HOST and HT3000 projector), each of which have a power
cable and are connected to each other by a 20 m long opti-
cal fibre cable. Ideally, the HOST system should be placed
on the top of a cabinet. Make sure that the surface it stands
on is stable and that there is sufficient space around it to per-
mit good ventillation (at least 3 cm). Place the projector on a
stable surface or use the optional ceiling mount bracket.
! WARNING:
safety instructions provided with the bracket must be strictly
observed. Placed the projector at the desired distance from
the screen: the size of the projected image depends upon
the distance between the lens and the screen and the zoom
setting. See the SETUP chapter for further details.

CONTROLLING THE 2 UNITS
The remote control supplied (IR, infrared operation), per-
mits full control of the system. It controls both the HOST™
system and the projector since both are equipped with an
IR sensor on the front while the projector also has an IR
receiver on the back. The two units are connected by a ca-
ble containing three optical fibres, each ending with an LC
connector. The standard cable length (20m), permits even
the most demanding installations.
! WARNING:
When installing the optical fibre cable:
• Handle the fibres carefully: touch the cable only where it is
sheathed. Never pull the fibres or connectors, only the cable.
• Remove the protective cap covering the ferrule only when
inserting the connector: if it comes into contact with other
bodies it may be damaged and be unusable.
• Take special care when inserting the fibres into the respec-
tive connectors, located on the back panel of the HOST™
system and at the back of the projector.
• Make sure that the fibres are not inverted: match the num-
bers marked on the fibres with those on the connectors.
• Check that the connectors are correctly inserted.
• Take care that the cable is not knotted and that, if it is bent, it
forms a curve with a radius of no less than 2 cm.

• Take care that the cable is not too taught or that it can be
tugged: in addition to disconnecting the connectors, this
may cause damage to them.
After removing the protective caps from both the fibre con-
nectors and the connectors on the panel, carefully insert
the fibres into the respective connectors matching the num-
bers marked on each element. Take the greatest care when
handling optical fibres and the connectors.
CONNECTIONS TO VIDEO SOURCES
Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable
from an external control device when used and the fibres for
connection to the projector to the back panel of the HOST
system. To get the best performance from your HT3000
HOST system, connect the various signal sources using high
quality cables specific for the video applications concerned.
PROJECTOR VENTILATION
"The lamp inside the projector generates a great deal of
heat, thus requiring a continuous flow of air to maintain op-
timum operating efficiency. The air inlet & outlet are on the
sides of the projector and it is critical that these vents re-
main free from obstruction. SIM2 recommends a distance
(*)
of 20 cm clearance each side. If the projectors is to be
mounted inside a "Hush Box" or a confined space then the
projector must be fed a supply of cool air to maintain good
ventilation. Inadequate ventilation will result in the projector
overheating, this may cause the projector to shut down ran-
domly and will damage the lamp and significantly shorten
the lamp life."

! WARNING:
Sources (BlueRay players, VCRs, DVD players, etc.) of-
ten have more than one output. To get the best results
from your system, carefully choose which output you use.
Generally the types of signal offering the best image qual-
ity are, in order, HDMI™ followed by SDI - DVI-D, RGB,
