Prepare to install 3.1 Installation requirements WARNING: Ensure that the physical environment in which the projector is installed, complies at all times with the environmental requirements summarized in this chapter! Never use the projector in case not all requirements are fulfilled. Neglecting will damage the projector and will void the warranty.
Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a feasible solution then the projector must be relocated to a clean air environment. Contact Barco in case uncertainty exist on the environmental conditions prior to install and operate the projector.
Prepare to install 3.2 Unpacking the projector What has to be done The projector is delivered in a cardboard box. Furthermore, to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with polymeric foam. Once the projector has arrived at the installation site, it needs to be removed from the box in a safe manner, without damaging the projector.
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches, and that the operating panel is not scratched or cracked. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible if this is not the case.
Prepare to install Rear projection The projector is installed, either in a table mount or ceiling mount configuration, at the other side of the screen opposite the audience. Image 3–7 Rear/Ceiling projection Backstage area Rear /Table projection Theater (Audience area) Screen Some lenses (e.g.
Prepare to install On axis / off axis projection The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector can be positioned in On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. On-Axis configuration means that the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen.
How to select the right lens Determine the required screen width (SW). Determine the approximate position of the projector in the room. Start up the Lens Calculator on the Barco website: https://lenscalculator.barco.com/ to determine the possible lenses for your configuration.

Scheimpflug (Boresight) 6.1 Scheimpflug introduction What is Scheimpflug? The lens holder has to be adjusted so that the “sharp focus plane” of the projected image falls together with the plane of the screen (Fp1→Fp2). This is achieved by changing the distance between the DMD plane and the lens plane (Lp1→Lp2).
Scheimpflug (Boresight) projector is that the projected image differs from the rectangle shaped image. In other words “distortion” of the projected image occurs. Masking will be required to solve the distortion. The disadvantage of Masking is loss of content. Therefore it is strongly recommended to place the projector in parallel with the projection screen and use the SHIFT functionality of the lens holder older to match the projected image with the projection screen.
Scheimpflug (Boresight) Scheimpflug adjustment steps Sharpen the image at the bottom right corner of the screen by turning the upper left Scheimpflug adjustment screw either clockwise or counterclockwise (reference 1) Use a 4 mm Allen wrench. Image 6–6 As a result of this action, the focus in the center will fade a bit. This is expected behavior. Sharpen the image at the lower left corner of the screen by turning the upper right Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 2).
About flight case and rigging frame The projector can also be delivered with rigging frame installed inside a flight case. The I600 flight case and I600 rigging frame are not yet available for the market. See Barco website for availability.
About the rigging frame The rigging frame is designed for the Barco I600 projectors, and can not be used for other equipment.
