General guide lines
• Use a solid pedestal to put the Prometheus on. Ensure that the pedestal can handle the weight of the projector and that all feet
of the projector are captured.
• The pedestal should be placed in front of the port window wall in a manner that the projector front cover is at a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters from the port window.

Positioning at port window
Barco offers a pedestal for the Prometheus. This universal pedestal allows a solid and easy setup of the
projector. The universal pedestal has a separate compartment to install the UPS unit (if available) for the
Prometheus. Futhermore, the universal pedestal contains a standard 19" rack to build in the projector periph-
erals like alternative content switchers (e.g. ACS-2048).
Necessary tools
• 14 mm wrench
• 17 mm wrench
Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (see ref A image 3-2).
2. If a film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B image 3-2).
Note: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as possible, even if it is
significantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increases side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
