This document is intended to provide a quick-start guideline on the Marquee® 8521 Green (HUD) projector. For detailed
information refer to the User's Manual (VDCDS P/N 71180-02) on the accompanying CD.
1.1 Quick Setup
Follow these 5 steps for quick set up of the projector:
Step 1. Position the Projector
To perform a quick setup, the projector must be positioned so that the throw distance is the same as that
used during the most recent optical alignment; otherwise a detailed setup is required. The throw distance is
the distance between the center lens on the projector and the center of the projection screen.
Note: If an optical lens alignment is required, refer to Section 2.5, Optical Alignment on the accompanying
CD.
Step 2. Connect the Power Cord
Plug the AC line cord into the line input unit on the electronic chassis. Plug the three prong end of the line
cord in a grounded AC outlet.
Note: Input voltage must be between 90 VAC and 264 VAC.
Note: Ensure the line cord is the proper type for the AC receptacle.
Step 3. Connect a Source
Connect a source to the projector's built-in RGB input (slot 1). Ensure the source is on and properly
connected. Refer to Section 1.2 and Figure 1 below.
Step 4. Turn the Projector On
Hold down the [POWER] on the keypad for one second to turn the projector on.
Note: If the keypad has been configured for IR remote operation, point it towards the screen or the front of
the electronic chassis.
Step 5. Select the Input
Press [SOURCE] [0] [1] to select the source connected to the built-in RGB input.
Adjust the Display; Press [HELP] [1] to select the Guided Source Setup tutorial.
1.2 Source Connections
To apply power to the projector, plug the AC line cord into the line input socket
located at the rear panel of the electronic chassis. Plug the three prong end of
the line cord in a grounded AC outlet. Input voltage to the projector must be
between 90 and 264 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. The power source must supply 650
watts of power to the projector.
The projector includes a built-in RGB input interface (Video Input Module) for
connection of external RGB sources. This input interface is shown in Figure 1.
The built-in interface is required for normal operation.
The standard RGB interface is typically used for connection of a
R G B source having one of the following sync types: sync on
ed reen lue
green (3-wire), composite sync (4-wire), or separate H & V sync (5-
wire).
The Marquee® HUD Series is a specialized projector utilizing a single
input or color. In this case, connect the source to the GREEN input on
the interface. If the source uses sync on green, no additional cables
are required. If the source provides a composite sync output, connect it
to the HOR/COMP input. If the source provides separate horizontal
and vertical sync outputs, connect the horizontal sync signal to the
HOR/COMP input, and connect the vertical sync input to the VERT
input. Interconnection cables must be terminated with BNC connectors.
Figure 1 shows the source connections for the built-in interface.
