Plug the power cord to the AC receptacle located on the right hand side of the projector and the 3-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet.
  • Page 7 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup 2.2 Installation Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently you should take the following into account to Considerations ensure your projector performs optimally. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or Installation Type inverted mount.
  • Page 8 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup ReaR sCReen InsTallaTIons There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical. A diffused screen has a surface, which spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than one. The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection. This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.
  • Page 9 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup Projector Position and ThRoW DIsTanCe Throw distance is the distance measured from the screen to the front of the projector. This is Mounting an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be of the right size for your screen.
  • Page 10 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup VeRTICal anD hoRIzonTal PosITIon The correct vertical and horizontal position of the projector in relation to the screen depends on the lens type and the screen size.

  • Page 16: Connecting Sources

    Section 2 ► Installation and Setup 2.3 Connecting sources Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.6. The upper right corner (INPUT 1) typically accepts an RGB signal from an external analog RGB source, or it can also be used for YPbPr signals or additional video sources. Just beside these BNCs, the DVI-I connector (INPUT 2) accepts digital or analog display signals from a computer.
  • Page 17 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup Video Source Figure 2.7 Connecting RGB and Sync noTes: 1) If for some reason the projector fails to recognize a signal as an RGB signal, specify this Color Space option within the Picture Adjustments menu. See 3.5 Adjusting the Image. 2) To connect YPbPr signals–such as from DVDs or analog HDTV sources–to INPUT 1, use the red, green and blue BNCs as described in YPbPr Signals (below).
  • Page 18 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup Composite and s-Video InPUT 3 and InPUT 4 provide simultaneous connection of both a composite video source (InPUT 3) and an S-Video source (InPUT 4). See Figure 2.9. Figure 2.9 Connecting Composite or S-Video sources DVI Digital Video Use the DVI-I connector at InPUT 2 to connect either analog or digital video devices to the projector.
  • Page 19: Connecting Communications

    Section 2 ► Installation and Setup 2.4 Connecting As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback Communications via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO communications to the projector, all described below.
  • Page 20 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup ConneCTIng Rs-422 If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the computer and the RS-422 port on the projector (see Figure 2.11). RS-422 is better suited for serial communication over long distances then is RS-232 communication.
  • Page 21 Section 2 ► Installation and Setup seTTIng The PRojeCToR’s IP aDDRess: Upon connection to most Ethernet networks, each projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network’s DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically assign an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually remains stable for a single session, but may change with subsequent power-ups and logins.

Keep in mind that the “maximum brightness” for any lamp gradually diminishes with age — images will become dimmer over time.
  • Page 72 Section 3 ► Operation For example, a 1000 watt lamp can be driven at no more than 1000 watts. To produce desired brightness at the screen, a new lamp would likely need less than this maximum rating — perhaps 812 watts (example only). Over time, however, the lamp will require more and more current in order to generate the desired light, until eventually the lamp wattage reaches its 1000-watt maximum and the lamp power automatically levels off.
