Section 1: Introduction

Cardcage Panel

Located on the right-side of the projector is the cardcage panel, which includes the Integrated Cinema
Processor (ICP) and Projector Intelligence Board (PIB) interface panels. From this location all input sources
can be connected.

1.2.1 Adjustable Feet

The four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector allow up to 15° degrees of tilt to aid in leveling the
projector. Image keystone and other geometric image problems can occur if the projector is not sitting level.
For more information, refer to
optional rack stand (P/N:108-282101-xx or P/N:108-272101-xx) the foot lock brackets (P/N:119-100101-xx)
must be installed for safety purposes.

Module Overview

The following section provides an in-depth look at the projector's components, their main functions and how
they interface with other components. Knowing your projector and how it works will help during
troubleshooting.

1.3.1 Optical and Electrical Systems

The two largest and most complex systems in the projector are the optical and electrical systems. A basic
understanding of each of these systems and the relationship between their components can improve
troubleshooting efforts.

Light Path and Optical Components

The majority of the optical components reside in the front portion of the projector, with the reflector/lamp, UV
filter and cold mirror physically separated from the optics by a thermal firewall. This wall segregates those
components generating the greatest heat and EMI emissions. The integrator mount is located through the
firewall partition. A precisely machined case base plate ensures proper alignment between the lamp and the
Illumination Optics System (IOS). Alignment between other optical components is also critical, requiring tight
tolerances in their case IOS holder, as well as thermal stability throughout the front compartment of the
projector.
