Safety information For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the floor level.
The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP.

Input & Communication Description Return - (or not used) Return + (or not used) DMX-512 Lighting protocol over RS-485 interface. Carries information of 512 channels from a lighting controller to lighting devices. Standardized by USITT. RS232/RS422 input The communication interface of the UDM series projector supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication on two different types of input connectors, a Sub-D connector and an USB connector acting as RS input when connected to an USB input of a PC.
Input & Communication USB port The communication interface is equipped with a master USB port, type “A” connector. This USB port will simplify the service procedures for firmware updates or for downloading the log files without a network connection. If the only file on the USB device is the firmware file (a “*.fw” file), the projector will automatically start one of the following processes.

GUI – Installation The viewer wears glasses which contain a pair of opposite polarizing filters. As each filter only passes light which is similarly polarized and blocks the opposite polarized light, each eye only sees one of the images, and the effect is achieved.
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.
Page 112
GUI – Installation If a 3D emitter is used that radiates infrared beams (IR beams), the IR beams may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference.
