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.

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.
Safety 1.5 Hazard Distance for fully closed projection system Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin.
Safety The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The HDdiffuse can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 cd/m² or 15000 LUX. 1.6 HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR) TR (Throw Ratio) The ratio of the distance to the screen (throw) to the screen width.

Lenses, Handling and features Image 3–29 When the lens is on its place, close the lens locking system by moving the handle from the left to the right. Project an image and adjust the shift. See projector’s user manual for more information about lens shift. Note: Shift cannot be adjusted anymore after full installation of the complete kit.
When mounting the UST lens in a projector without using the mounting support (not recommended), it is mandatory to use the safety cable set provided by Barco instead. Failing to use either the correct type of safety cable or the mounting support may damage the lens and/or projector, and can also cause serious injury to persons.

It also describes the outlines and some of the considerations that should be taken in to account when designing and setting up the installation.
4.2 Installation conditions Environmental Conditions Barco projectors are manufactured according to specific design standards, which also include environmental conditions. Failing to follow the terms and conditions outlined in this chapter can result in loss of product warranty The table below summarize the physical environments in which the projector may be safely operated or stored.
Upon receipt of the projector, we recommend that customers inspect the projector for any signs of damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found, file a claim with the shipping carrier immediately. Notify the Barco Sales and Service office, or your preferred Barco agent, of the damage as soon as possible. Box Contents Your projector box should contain the following: •...
Physical Installation 4.4 Positioning the projector CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user. The Projector are heavy, and can cause severe damage and injuries if falling. General guidelines Proper positioning of the projector lessens the overall picture setup time, and ensures a better image with fewer artifacts.
Page 65
Physical Installation In addition, four mounting inserts are located on the bottom of projector. See“Projector safe attachment points”, page 66 Where possible, the projector lens must be positioned exactly perpendicular to the center of the screen. Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.
Physical Installation Power up the projector. Go to Main Menu / Installation / Orientation and select the correct orientation for your setup. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen. Adjust the position (height and angle) of the rigging frame until the projected hatch pattern is a level and perfect rectangle.
Physical Installation Max Hole Depth Application Item Thread Dimension 16mm Anchorpoint / Ceiling / Rig Mount 4.7 Throw distance Calculate the installation throw distance Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you will need two pieces of data: the selected lens throw ratio (L) and the horizontal width (W) of the screen.
Physical Installation Scheimpflug principle The "plane of sharp focus" can be changed so that any plane can be brought into sharp focus. When the DMD plane and lens plane are parallel, the plane of sharp focus will also be parallel to these two planes.
Page 71
Image 4–8 Preparation Prepare the test area. Barco recommends a projector-screen according to the table “Lens distance” above to be used for all Scheimpflug adjustments. Verify that the throw ratio of the installed lens matches the requirements of the installation area (projection distance and screen size).
Page 72
Physical Installation Image 4–10 Adjust the right side Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 2 in the next figure) until the test image in the top right side of the screen is in focus. Use a size 4 hex key to do this. Note: This process may cause the other areas of the image to slide out of focus.

Color component mapping A.1 Introduction This topic is only valid for the FS variant of the projector. Introduction In the FS-series projectors, one of the night vision modes is achieved by feeding the projector with two separate inputs, one with content for visible light (VL), and the other with content for the infrared (IR). Outside the projector, these two inputs may have the same content, achieved by a splitter or by cloning the output in the graphics adapter on the image generator (IG).
Color component mapping Displayport 2 (IR) Image A–2 This is the default setup, and the properties of the input is as follows: Property Value image.connector.displayport1.colorcomponent.red RED_IN image.connector.displayport1.colorcomponent.green GREEN_IN image.connector.displayport1.colorcomponent.blue BLUE_IN image.connector.displayport2.colorcomponent.red RED_IN image.connector.displayport2.colorcomponent.green GREEN_IN image.connector.displayport2.colorcomponent.blue BLUE_IN A.4 Cloned image with full RGB input Cloned image with full RGB input In this setup the image is rendered for visible light.

In this setup, a portion of the green image is extracted and applied to the red channel for visible light also.
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.

Image settings and adjustments for optimal latency Image B–1 The image is sent to the projector, pixel by pixel, line by line from top left to bottom right. For 60Hz, it takes 16.6667ms for all the pixels to arrive at the projector (disregarding blanking pixels). Theoretically, as soon as the first pixel arrives, it can be transmitted directly to the DMD.
Image settings and adjustments for optimal latency B.5 Image positioning Image positioning From the discussion above, it follows that the incoming image should follow the DMD resolution as much as possible to reduce latency. If this is not possible, the image should be adjusted and positioned as close to the bottom edge (in desktop-front projection mode) of the DMD as possible to have minimum latency.

C.1 How to calibrate General Barco recommends to always calibrate the projector within the environment it is to be used. This to compensate for screen type, coating, lens and other environmental factors in a multi-channel set-up. For the reason explained in the Laser pulse calibration section, Barco also recommends calibrating both laser pulsing and native colors at the same time.

Color calibration guide Image C–3 Use a white test image either from an external source or the internal White test pattern. A chromameter is needed to measure the coordinates of the white test pattern. Adjust the laser pulse value to obtain the desired white y-coordinate. Log in as Power user.
Color calibration guide Go to Native RealColor within the Maintenance section to input the resulting white x and y coordinates. Click Apply when done. Image C–8 C.3 Maintain white point dimming General Maintain white point while dimming (MWPWD) is a feature used to keep the white point stable while dimming.
