Orion Cinemascope (2560x1080) 1.2 Training Training is available at the Barco University, with course levels ranging from basic projector use to advanced set-up and configuration across multiple applications. Go to www.barco.com for more information. 1.3 Symbols used in this documentation WARNING: Potential danger to people or equipment when using the product in certain ways.
2 Safety and compliance 2.1 General safety considerations • Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage to the unit. • Always use 3-prong (grounded) power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
If operation of this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be deter- mined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to contact the installer used, or consult a Barco Support representative who will try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •...

15 cm. 4.2.1 Ventilation accessories A set of optional accessories is available for this projector, covering anything from cables and lenses to air flow parts and lens control. For more information visit www.barco.com or contact your preferred Barco representative.
4.3 Ceiling and rig mounting Use the three mounting holes on the projector underside to securely fix the projector to a ceiling or rig mount. Use M6 screws that extend maximum 9 mm into the projector body. Figure 4-2. Ceiling/rig mounting holes 4.4 Locking the projector The projector can be physically locked using a Kensington lock.
4.6 Selecting a lens The projector is delivered without a lens, enabling you to select a lens according to your desired image size and projection distance. The projector uses a bayonet mount system to precisely fix the lens in place. The lenses are manual, meaning zoom, focus and iris adjustments are done by hand manually.

Note that the lens positioning when using lens shift may affect the accessibility of the lens button. If so, reposition the lens to gain access. 4.6.3 Lens range The table shows a selection of lenses available. Visit www.barco.com for the most up to date lens specifications. ITEM TYPE THROW RATIO...
To use the RS-232 or LAN control interfaces, please refer to the relevant SIS (Simplified Instruction Set) commands available for download on www.barco.com 4.9 Lens planarity (Scheimpflug adjustment) This adjustment is rarely needed, do not apply it unless it is required.
Page 23
4.10 Zoom, focus and iris These lens functions are manual (not motorized). • Adjust zoom to achieve the desired image size (if the lens has a zoom-function). • Then adjust focus to achieve a sharp image. If the image is not sharp all over the surface, please check the surface flatness and whether the lens axis is perpendicular to the projection surface.
Choice of control interface depends on the installation requirements. Attach the interfaces of choice and make sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.
