This infrared receiver unit makes it possible to control the projector from another room. There is a communication line with cable between the IR receiver and the projector or the RCVDS05. The control information from the RCU can now be sent to this IR receiver.

The selected source number will be displayed on a 2 digit display and the selected input module will be indicated with a LED on the rear. The VS05 is a versatile Video and HDTV source selector for all BARCO's digitally controlled large screen projectors. It offers the possibility to connect and switch up to 5 different Video sources, 3 different S-Video sources and 1 RGB Analog source to a BARCO projector.

Due to the fact that the same picture information is shown for a long period on the same place, picture tubes can be damaged by 'local burn-in'. To avoid this problem, BARCO has designed special Orbiting circuitry which moves the picture very slowly around a predefined screen area.

Today multi-screens are very popular for many applications e.g. simulation business. In these installations, the goal is to obtain a continuous matched image, forming one homogeneous view. The viewer wants to see an overall light output uniformity. The laws of physics applied to projection optics dictate that the center of the projected image will be brighter than the corners;...

As the BARCOVISION 708 MULTIMEDIA is digitally controlled, all geometry and convergence adjustments are stored in the projectors memory as numeric values. These numeric values are used to control digital potentiometers which in turn, control the projector. Each source connected to the projector has a unique set of adjustment data which is automatically downloaded into the projectors digital potentiometers as the source is selected.

Source numbers 90 - 99 do not correspond to physical inputs to the projector or RCVDS05. They are used to assign an additional adjustment block to a source. This additional adjustment block may contain different geometry and convergence settings, sync fast/slow positions and enhanced blue on/off settings. relationship between source numbers 0 - 9 and 90 - 99 (projector with RCVDS) or 1 - 5 and 91 - 95 (stand-alone projector) is shown in the diagram below.

Follow the steps below to create a second adjustment block for a source between 0 and 9. 1. Select the source between 0 and 9 that the second adjustment block is to be created for. 2. Select the corresponding source number between 90 and 99. The adjustment block for the source number between 0 and 9 is copied to the corresponding source number between 90 and 99.
