Before setting up, switch off all equipment and disconnect the power cord.
In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), we rec-
ommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection when installing.
For best quality video, connect a digital video source using the HDMI 1.3a interface (O), see
Figure 5-3. The HDMI input is HDCP copy protection compliant. Depending on cable quality,
the projector is supporting the use of cables with lengths up 20 meters (65 feet).
Figure 5-3. Connecting a video source
The projector may be connected to up to six computer sources simultaneously, using the
HDMI (O), DVI-D (J) or VGA (K) interfaces, shown in Figure 5-3/Figure 5-4. The digital inter-
faces (DVI/HDMI) will yield a projected image with very low noise.
Both DVI and HDMI are HDCP compliant with sources up to 1920x1200@60Hz (single link
source up to 165 Mhz). Additional functionality may be acchieved using additional X-PORT
connectors like 3G-SDI, DisplayPort 1.1a and HDMI 3D (se separate sections).

HDCP is not supported on higher resolution sources like 2560x1600@60Hz (WQXGA).
Connect the power cord after the other cables have been inserted properly.
The projector is supporting RS-232 and LAN command and control interfaces. Use the ASCII
based, simple instruction set (SIS) protocol to communicate with the projector. A detailed
description of the ASCII protocol is available for download at www.projectiondesign.com.
Connect the power cord after the command and control cables are inserted properly.
