Page 8: Mounting The Projector
I n s t a l l i n g t h e d i g i t a l v i d e o p r o j e c t o r Mounting the projector Minimum space required The projector can be operated in a free-standing position using the feet supplied. To mount 150mm and above the projector, remove the 4 feet and make use of the 4 screw holes (M8 nuts) on the underside of the projector. Allow sufficient space around the air inlets to avoid blocking them. -
Page 9: Projector And Screen Installation
I n s t a l l i n g t h e d i g i t a l v i d e o p r o j e c t o r Projector and screen installation Install the projector such that the lower end of the projection screen is on the same level as the centre of the lens when there is a 50% shift (offset). The optimum image can be obtained when the centre of the projector’s lens and the screen are placed perpendicular to each other. Take note of the projection angle when placing both items. Failing to do so may give rise to trapezoidal distortion of the projected image. Note: This unit does not come with a function to correct trapezoidal distortion or adjust horizontal gradient. -

Turn anti-clockwise: Screen shifts downwards. RVICE RS-232C Connect to Projector Shift upwards Shift downwards the DVI input Processor Shift adjustment screw DVI OUTPUT DVI-D cable A Meridian/Faroudja Digital Video processor is the ideal companion for your projector. • Re-fit the lens shift cover making sure it is no more than finger-tight. It is capable of processing and upscaling all your video sources to HD quality and will give you the maximum image quality from any source. Consult your dealer for additional information. Video is connected to the projector via a DVI connector. To avoid image degradation, always use the highest quality DVI cables you can. In addition, using HDMI/DVI adaptor cables, you can connect a Meridian HDMAX 121 HDMI Extender near the projector end of the run, which is especially useful in the case of long cable runs. In any event, when using a DVI-D cable longer than 3m, the use of a booster or optical fibre cable is recommended. This projector accepts 1080/50p and 1080/60p signals via the DVI-D connector, and HDCP content protection is supported.
