Engine replacement 3.4.5 Convergence adjustment Overview • Introduction • Convergence controls of the red channel • Convergence controls of the green channel • Adjusting the convergence • Example of convergence correction 3.4.5.1 Introduction Convergence An image is split into its three main colors: a red image, a green image and a blue image. Each main-color-image is visualized by a separate DMD.

Image 3-78 Simplified representation of the controls of the red formatter Functionality of the controls...
3. Engine replacement Image 3-79 Functionality of the convergence controls For example, to move the red image right down on the screen, both 2B and 3B on the red formatter support plate must be released a bit (i.e. CCW) before tightening 2A and 3A a bit (i.e. CW). Access to the convergence controls of the red formatter board The way to get access to the controls of the red formatter board is shown in the drawings below.
3. Engine replacement 3.4.5.3 Convergence controls of the green channel Securing screws Prior to adjusting the position of the formatter, four securing screws must be released! The location of the screws can be seen in the image below. Image 3-82 Image 3-83 Green formatter: securing screws Formatter: securing screws (simplified)
Adjusting the convergence AUTION This procedure is critical and time consuming. It may only be performed by Barco authorized and trained technicians Switch the projector to active state and wait for at least 30 minutes before starting the convergence adjustment...
3. Engine replacement Image 3-89 Convergence controls of the red formatter Caution: Remember to release the adjacent control, prior to tightening the desired control. E.g. to shift the red image left down, release 1B (turn a bit counterclockwise) before tightening 1A (clockwise). 5.
3. Engine replacement Image 3-91 Convergence pattern: green on blue 8. Adjust the convergence of green on blue in the same way as red on blue and re-check after locking the position of the green formatter Image 3-92 Controls of the green formatter 9.
3. Engine replacement 3.4.5.5 Example of convergence correction Description By default the convergence of the engine is well aligned in the factory. Only when replacing an engine, it might be needed to do a convergence correction. It is not easy to do a full convergence alignment. In most of the situations each of the steps of the procedure above must be repeated a few times to come to a good convergence alignment.
