To prevent fire hazard • Barco projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire.

8.6.1 Introduction Introduction The CLO (Constant Light Output) is a Barco Pulse software feature for maintaining a stable light output from the projector over time, by automatically adjusting the light source. The CLO feature utilizes a light sensor placed internally in the projectors light path.
Explanation: The light source power is at its maximum and can no longer maintain the desired light output • L8000d Illumination cli light measuring failed Explanation: The CLO failed while trying to measure the light on the light sensor, either when enabling the CLO or during CLO operation 601–426 /15 F70 Series...
The same prerequisites apply for this feature regarding the degradation of the light source and the initial set- point chosen for the light source power. The CLO scale can be set and / or monitored using the property: • illumination.clo.scale 601–426 /15 F70 Series...
10 seconds shall not differ more than 0.75% from the set-point". This to maintain the desired light output. From a user perspective no interaction has been made with the projector, so a change to the hasstabilized signal in this case would not make sense. The functionality presented in a Given-When-Then format. 601–426 /15 F70 Series...
8.6.7 Setpoint Setpoint This feature enables the user to set the desired value directly. As no max value is given Barco recommends using the CLO scale if different output power settings are needed when using the CLO. The setpoint can be set and/or monitored using the property: •...

Why change the 3D setup? While Barco can provide a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses as options to this projector, you are also free to use a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses of your own choice. Since glasses and emitter can have various specifications compared to the ones Barco can provide, the 3D setup menu allows you to configure the output image to the specifications of your glasses and emitter.
The LCD display will show the progression and status of the upgrade during the process. Update • Go to www.barco.com and select your product. All available firmware downloads are filed under the Technical Downloads tab. • Download the firmware. Extract and save the file to a USB stick with FAT file system. Use the eject function on your PC to safely remove the device from the computer.
Remove the filter from the projector then use a vacuum to remove excess dust from the filter. Do not wet or soak the filter. Cleaning of the projector filter should be done in a separate room to avoid dust contamination. 601–426 /15 F70 Series...

DMD display device Barco projectors uses a DMD device from Texas Instruments to display the image. A DMD device displays the intensity of a pixel by time multiplexing the time it is on over the frame time. If one pixel is 50% grey, it is on for 50% of the time for that frame.
