Connections - Sim2 AR User Manual

The AR provides up to 50% of vertical lens shift up. For example, with a 16:9 150 in. diagonal size
screen, you can shift the image up to 0.93 m (36.8 in.) above the screen center (see " Projection
Distance" on page 33).
Keystone
If the projector is ceiling-mounted and the screen is lower than the projector, you may need to
tilt the projector by adjusting the ceiling mount. If you do so:
the top and bottom borders of the image will be unequal in length
•
the sides of the image will be inclined
•
If the tilt is not excessive, you can use the Keystone function of the projector to correct the ima-
ge shape. See "Keystone" on page 25.
Note: Keystone correction may cause artifacts in the image and may not be available when di-
splaying specific 3D content (see Table 4.2 ).
Zoom and Focus
The AR provides motorized Zoom and Focus controls. You can access these adjustments through
the remote control directly:
F1 key for optical Zoom
•
F2 key for Focus
•
See "F1-F2 Keys" on page

Connections

Proceed as follows to connect the AR to video sources, control devices, screen control systems,
3D sync emitter and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
turn off all equipment before making any connections
•
use the correct signal cables for each source
•
make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard
•
ensure that the cables are securely connected (tighten the thumbscrews on connectors
•
that have them)
Video
Often the sources (Blu-ray Players, Set Top Boxes, Game Consoles and so on) have several outpu-
ts. Choose HDMI whenever possible.
HDMI The major benefits of this signal type are:
•
◦ best image quality, because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the
◦ highest available resolution, because video sources can deliver full resolution con-
◦ availability of 3D content, because most 3D compatible sources deliver 3D content
◦ optimization of several image parameters (2D/3D content, color space, aspect, si-
If your source has dual HDMI outputs, we would recommend direct connection to the projector
from one of the HDMI connections and the second HDMI output to the input of an appropriate
AV
Sources with a DVI-D output can be connected to the HDMI input of the projector using a suita -
ble DVI-D to HDMI cable. In this case no auxiliary information is sent from the source to the pro-
jector.
Note: HDMI uses a code known as HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection), which pro-
tects the recorded supports from being copied illegally. The connection between the source and
display require that the two devices perform a handshake and exchange code keys before being
able to display an image. The InstaPort technology allows a simultaneous pre-authentification of
