2 Safety Instructions

english
This device complies with safety regulations for Information Technology Equipment for use
in an office environment. Before using the device for the first time, please read the safety
instructions thoroughly.

2.1 SAFETY
This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and
use of the projector. Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.

2.2 GENERAL WARNINGS

Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables.
Using other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the unit.
Always use 3-prong / grounded power cord to ensure proper grounding of the unit. Never
use 2-prong power cords, as this is dangerous and could lead to electrical shock.
Never open the unit. The projector contains no user serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to
qualified personnel only. Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the
set.
Do not spill any liquids on the projector or into the vents or openings of the unit.
Always remove lens cap before switching on the projector. If the lens cap is not removed,
it may melt due to the high energy light emitted through the lens. Melting the lens cap may
permanently damage the surface of the projection lens.
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may
permanently damage sight. Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote
control. Laser light may permanently damage sight.
Do not point laser beam at people or animals.
Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-
mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector according to the rotation guidelines. Operating the unit
in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating,
resulting in malfunctioning.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never
cover the unit in any way while running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to
avoid overheating.
Minimum safety distance to any side of the unit is 50 cm / 20” in any direction.
Hot air is exhausted from the rear vent. Do not place objects that are sensitive to heat nearer
than 50cm / 20” to the exhaust vent.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate the unit outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may
result in overheating and malfunctioning.
Connecting sources to a powered projector may result in product failure. It is recom-
mended that the power cable connector (projector-end) or the mains power socket
are accessible while the product is in use to enable mains power to be disconnected
or switched off when connecting source devices. This should be considered during
product installation.
11
www.projectiondesign.com
 Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
english

specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction

and permanent damage of the unit.
In order to prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), we rec-
ommend connection to a line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp
is operating (hot-swap). USE ONLY ORIGINAL LAMPS.

2.2.1 INFORMATION AND WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL HEALTH ISSUES RELATED

TO MERCURY VAPOR (UHP lamps only)
This projector uses a very powerful UHP™ lamp for illumination to produce an extremely
bright image.
This technology is similar to other high-pressure discharge lamps that are extensively used in
cars, street lights and other lighting appliances today. These lamps, like fluorescent lighting,
contain small amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present in a lamp is far below the
limits of danger. It is very important that lamps containing mercury are treated properly to
minimize potential health hazards.
The UHP™ lamp, like any other high brightness projector lamp, is under high-pressure when
operating. While the lamp and the projector are carefully designed to minimize the prob-
ability of lamp rupture, the lamp may break while operating and small amounts of mercury
vapor may be emitted from the projector. The probability of rupture increases when the lamp
reaches its expected lifetime. It is therefore highly recommended that the lamp is replaced
when the rated lifetime is reached.
As a general precaution, secure good ventilation in the room when operating the projector. If
lamp rupture occurs, evacuate the room and secure good ventilation. Children and pregnant
women in particular should leave the room.
When replacing a worn lamp, dispose of the used lamp carefully by proper recycling.
Mercury is a naturally occurring, stable metallic element that may pose a safety risk to people
under certain conditions. According to the Public Health Statement for Mercury published by
the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (“ATSDR”, part of the United States
Public Health Service), the brain, central nervous system and kidneys are sensitive to the
effects of mercury, and permanent damage can occur at sufficiently high levels of exposure.
Acute exposure to high concentrations of mercury vapor can cause conditions such as
lung and airway irritation, tightness in the chest, a burning sensation in the lungs, coughing,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children and fetuses are particularly sensitive to the harmful
effects of metallic mercury to the nervous system.
Seek medical attention if any of the above symptoms are experienced or if other unusual
conditions are experienced following lamp rupture.

2.2.2 HEAVY DUTY AND CONTINOUS USE (UHP lamps only)

The projector contains moving parts (such as cooling fans) that have limited life-expec-
tancies. When the projector has been used for 8 000 hours, and when the unit is used in
mission-critical applications, it is recommended that the projector is given preventive mainte-
nance by a qualified service person. A message will appear on the screen when the projector
is due for preventive maintenance. This will help ensure long term stable operation.

2.2.3 SERVICE PERSONNEL INFORMATION WARNING (UHP lamps only)

line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection when installing.

4.6.1 Setting up a video source

For best quality video, connect a digital video source using the HDMI 1.3a interface (O) Con-
necting a video source in Figure 5-4. The HDMI input is HDCP copy protection compliant.
Depending on cable quality, the projector is supporting the use of cables with lengths up 20
meters (65 feet).

Figure 4-4. Connecting a video source

4.6.2 Setting up a computer source

The projector may be connected to up to six computer sources simultaneously, using the
HDMI (O), DVI-D (J) or VGA (K) interfaces, shown in Figure 5-4/Figure 5-5. The digital inter-
faces (DVI/HDMI) will yield a projected image with very low noise.
Both DVI and HDMI are HDCP compliant with sources up to 1920x1200@60Hz (single link
source up to 165 Mhz). Additional functionality may be acchieved using additional X-PORT
connectors like 3G-SDI, DisplayPort 1.1a and HDMI 3D (se separate sections).

 4.7 Using X-PORT™ modules

english
X-PORT™ modules allows for extra functionality with the projector. This includes more con-
nectivity as well as additional image processing.
Functionality may include extended connectivity (like 3G-SDI and HDMI 3D) and additional 3D
format support (like Blu-Ray frame packed, dual input sources, double flash 3D etc.)

Please refer to Chapter 6.4 for information on multi channel 3D sync.

4.7.1 X-PORT DCC120

X-PORT DCC120 is an X-PORT 1 module (post processing) adding additional 3D capabilities
and multi-projector synchronization capabilities to the system.

4.7.1.1 3D formats supported

By using X-PORT DCC120 the following 3D format will then be supported:
Dual head input: When “Dual head” is enabled, the projector will combine the signals from
DVI1 and DVI2 (or HDMI1 and HDMI2), place them beside each other and interpret it as a
single source. The two sources need to have the same resolution. For example, if both inputs
are 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the combined dual head source will be seen by the projector as a
single 3840x1200 @ 60Hz source. If, now, 3D mode is set to side-by-side, the projector will
take the left half of this combined image, which is in fact the source on DVI1, and use it as
the left eye source. The same goes for DVI2 being the right eye source.

Side-by-side: In side-by-side 3D, each input frame is divided in half and the left half of the
frame is used as the left eye frame and the right half of the input frame is used as the right
eye frame. This makes the output width become half of the input width. If, for example, the
input is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the output will be 960 x 1200 @ 120Hz.

Frame sequential: n frame sequential 3D, every other frame is interpreted as the left eye
frame and the other input frame is interpreted as the right eye frame. To ensure that the
projector chooses the correct frames as the left eye and right eye frames, a 3D sync signal
should be connected from the IG’s display adapter DIN connector to the projector’s BNC
sync-in connector. If such a signal isn’t present, the projector will choose the first input frame
as the left eye frame and the next input frame as the right eye frame. This will be wrong half
the times the signal is acquired.

 4.15 Configuring 3D (AS3D)

english
This is information is only applicable to the WUXGA and 1080p versions, not WQXGA.
The projector has support for AS3D. AS3D images require active shutter glasses to work. To
enable active stereo select 3D > 3D MODE. Enabling 3D mode will configure the projector for
the use with an active stereo source.
The only active stereo 3D format natively supported by the projector is sequential left/
right at a frequency between 100 and 120 Hz. Both DVI and HDMI connectors can be
used for sources up to 165 Mhz. For sources between 165 and 330 Mhz, only DVI dual
link is supported.
After enabling stereo mode, configure the glass type being used by selecting 3D > 3D
GLASSES TYPE. The follow glasses are support:
• DLP Link™
• IR
• IR high brightness (may cause crosstalk)

When using IR glasses it is important to configure the phase delay between the glasses

5.1 Controlling multiple projectors with remote control ID (RCID)
The remote control can be operated either in ‘broadcast mode’, or ‘individual mode’. When
several projectors are in use in an installation, individual control may be convenient. Individual
control is available either by wired remote control, using the data-jack, or by using an individ-
ual number code. For individual control, first set the individual RC ID code using the projector
menu system, see the SETTINGS sub menu. Then, to select a specific projector to control,
first press the ‘*’ button in the lower keypad area, then the code as set in the target projector.
A code can be in the range ‘0’..’99’. ‘0’ is reserved for broadcast. To select another target,
repeat the process by pressing ‘*’ and a new code. To exit individual control, press ‘*’’*’ twice
or press ‘*’ and ‘0’.

5.2 Protecting the projector with a pin code

The projector may be controlled by a PIN (Personal Identification Number) code. The PIN
code is 4 digits, and if the PIN code is activated, you must enter the correct code to unlock
the projector. Factory set PIN (1234).
To activate, deactivate or change the PIN code, see the SETTINGS > PIN CODE sub menu.
If an incorrect PIN code is entered, you may try again two times.
If you fail three times in a row, a PUK (unlock) code is needed.
The PUK code is supplied with the product.
Entering the puk code correctly is the customers responsibility

If you also fail three times with the PUK code, the projector locks up permanently, and can
only be unlocked by a special service unlock code.
To access this code, you will need to contact your dealer or a service station. The service
unlock code will be generated based on a secure, encrypted number that is produced by the
projector itself. The projector will produce a new number every time.

To unlock the projector, proof of ownership must be provided by the customer

 5.3 Using dual head input
english

For extended flexibility to connect high resolution sources with a pixel clock over 165 MHz,
the projector is supporting a dual head input mode. In this mode the left and right half of the
image can be connected to the DVI 1/DVI 2 or HDMI 1/HDMI 2 interfaces respectively
(Figure 6-1).
To enable this mode, go to the menu INSTALLATION > DUAL HEAD SETUP. Side-by-side is
the only available option at this time.

1 2
Figure 5-1. Dual input mode

An example of this is feeding a WUXGA (1920 x1200) 120Hz source with 960 x 1200 -
120Hz source resolutions on each the DVI interfaces.
When enabling this mode, the EDID data on each of the DVI connectors will automatically be
changed from WUXGA (1920 x 1200) 120Hz to 960 x 1200 - 120Hz.
For the image to be displayed in this mode, the resolution must be exactly the same
on both connectors.
In this mode the two connected sources must have exactly the same timing. A drift in
timing between the inputs will result in a visible split in the center of image.
Some graphic cards have problems with detecting the change from single head to
dual head mode. If problems occur, disconnect both signal cables before enabling or
disabling the dual mode in the menu.

In asynchronous side-by-side 3D, the projectors utilize the BNC sync-in and sync-out con-
nectors to distribute a system wide display sync. This display sync is used by all projectors
to perform frame rate conversion on the input signals if necessary. Figure 6-4 illustrates this
setup.

Figure 5-4. Asynchronous side-by-side setup

As seen in Figure 6-4, an extra cable is connected between BNC sync-out on projector 1
and BNC sync-in on projector 2. In this setup the projectors need the settings in the table

The projector has two programmable triggers with 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors. These can
be used to enable or disable screens, curtains or other peripheral equipment.
To change trigger settings, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER
By default:
• Trigger 1 is set to control a screen depending on whether projector is powered on or not.
• Trigger 2 is set to control a screen depending on the aspect ratio of currently active
source.
Both triggers can be manually overridden both in the menu system and by using the com-
mand and control protocol through RS-232 or LAN.

5.8 Setting aspect trigger behavior

To customize the aspect trigger functionality, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER >
ASPECT TRIGGER BEHAVIOR. In this sub-menu it is selectable for which input aspect ratios
the trigger will be enabled.

5.9 Automatic power on/off

The projector can be automatically powered on or off by using the internal timer function or
DPMS.

5.9.1 Using the timer

The projector features a real-time clock that enables timing control. This means that the
projector can be programmed to switch on and off at certain pre-set times during a weekly
cycle.
To allow for a flexible schedule, 10 ‘programs’ are available. With each program, you can
define the switch on or switch off time for a single day (Monday to Sunday), all work days
(Monday through Friday), or week-end (Saturday and Sunday). One, several or all programs
can be active at the same time as desired. In this way, a flexible scheme can be established.
Observe the 24 hour time format. For more information, see the SETTINGS > TIMER menu.
The following example illustrates a case where the projector turns on at 08:00 in the morning
(8 am) and switches off at 20:00 (8 pm) on weekdays (Monday through Friday). Weekends
(Saturdays and Sundays), it turns on at 10:00 (10 am) and off at 18:00 (6 pm). VGA is used
as the source. For this, four programs are needed, 2 for on and two for off.

6 Optimising the picture

english
The projector has power features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in
using these features. All color calibration is done using projectiondesign’s proprietary Real-
Color™ solution.

6.1 Calibration data

All projectiondesign projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at
the factory for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the lamps the characteris-
tics of the projector might change slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.

6.1.1 Updating RealColor™ calibration data

For accurate results with the RealColor™ system, accurate measurement data is required.
RealColor™ calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE > CALIBRATION >
REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES
X, Y and relative luminance values for red, green, blue, white and BrilliantColor™ 1 is entered
in this menu. The BrilliantColor™ should all be set to 0.000 for the VizSim (RGBRGB) color
wheel. All values can also be updated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or
LAN.
Before setting these values, it is important to select the desired BrilliantColor™
setting. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > BRILLIANTCOLOR to select
the desired BrilliantColor™ look.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. This is in particularly important for
the BrilliantColor™ 1 test pattern since it is impossible to generate this pattern correctly using
a computer source. In the user menu these patterns can be accessed through PICTURE >
CALIBRATION > REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION TESTIMAGE. Use the arrow
keys to cycle through the images.
Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured values to the
values measured in the factory.
When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly recommended
for accurate results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655) are preferred.
For an easier calibration procedure, automated calibration can be achieved using
projectiondesign’s software package ProNet. A license for the calibration software
package of ProNet must be purchased separately.

 6.2 Working with RealColor™
english

6.2.1 Setting the BrilliantColor™ correctly

The BrilliantColor™ setting is used to control how color boost is applied in the image.
It can operate in four modes:
• Computer Native (Default): This give max brightness and color boost. Recommended
for non-video applications, like CAD and visualization.
• Computer Balanced: Gives the same brightness as Computer Native, but has a less
aggressive color boost profile.
• Video Native: Gives less brightness than computer, but will appear with significantly less
noise in video content.
• Video Balanced: Same brightness as Video Native, but with a smoother color boost
profile.
• Off: Only recommend for applications requiring a pure red, green, blue mix of colors.
No secondary color or white are added to the mix.

 6.2.2 Gamma

english
The projector features a set of 6 built in gamma curves: Film 2.2, Film 2.8, Video 1, Video 2,
Computer 1, Computer 2. The different gamma curves are displayed below.
The names of the curves are descriptive for their recommended use. Use any of the
computer curves for video applications will results in significant image noise.

 6.2.3 RealColor™ operating modes

english
Before any color correction is applied to the image, the feature must be enabled. Go to menu
entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
RealColor™ can operate in 3 modes:
• Color temperature/white point correction only.
• Red, Green, Blue, White correction. In this mode optimal color coordinates for Cyan,
Magenta and Yellow will be computed automatically.
• Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White. In this mode color points and intensity
for each color can be manipulated separately.
To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR >
DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.

6.2.4 Setting a white point or color temperature

After enabling RealColor™, set the color temperature in the menu entry PICTURE > REAL-
COLOR > COLOR TEMPERATURE. Values between 3200K and 9300K can be selected.
These color temperatures are tracking the “black body curve”- the black curved line in the
center of CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The default is the D65 illuminant at 6500K.

Figure 6-7. CIE Chart with the black body curve

The white point can also be set to a custom value defined by an x, y coordinate not linked
to the black body curve. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > X-COORDINATE and
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > Y-COORDINATE to change the white point.

 6.2.5 Defining the system color gamut
english

All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The boundary of the colors
the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle in Figure 7-7 is
an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system
gamut, which is limited by the color wheel selected for the system. The VizSim color wheel
has the widest color gamut and the High Brightness color wheel has the smallest.

The system color gamut cannot be expanded outside color gamut defined by the
color wheel.

It may be desirable to change the system color gamut of the projector to:
- Color match multiple projectors.
- Meet defined color standards, like REC 709.
- Create a special “look” to the image.

Before the system color gamut can be change the desired RealColor™ mode has to be
defined. To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REAL-
COLOR > DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.

RealColor™ has to be enabled for the desired system gamut to be applied. Go to menu entry
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.

After RealColor™ is enabled and the desired color correction mode is selected, please go
the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > DESIRED VALUES to change the color points to
the your desired system color gamut.

For graphical visualization of the system color gamut and easy color management for
a single or multiple projectors, the ProNet software package could be used. A license
for the calibration software package of ProNet must be purchased separately.

 7.2 Lamp replacement (UHP units only)
english

The LAMP indicators on the keypad will turn red when lamp life expires or if the lamp fails.
Change the lamp when lifetime expires. Always replace lamp with the same type and rating.
USE ORIGINAL LAMPS ONLY.
The lamp includes an electronic lamp timer that is tracking the life time of the lamp.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp is
operating (hot-swap).
Release the screw (LAMP 1) or (LAMP 2) depending on which lamp that needs to be re-
placed.

Be careful not to touch the protective glass when replacing the lamp,
A
this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break while in use.

Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely

event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use
caution when removing the lamp module.
H

A Open the lamp lid(s).

B
B Turn the three locking screws a quarter turn anti-clockwise.
C Pull the lamp out.
D Replace with a new lamp in reverse order.
E Insert a new lamp. Observe the guide pins.
F Turn the tree locking screws a quarter turn clockwise.
G
G Close the lamp lid.
H Turn the locking screw clockwise.
C

In the unlikely event of a lamp rapture, a limited amount of mercury vapor

may be emitted into the room. To avoid inhailing this mercury vapor
(which is toxic, and can be harmful for lungs and nervous system) the
room should be thoroughly ventilated for a period of at least 30 minutes.
There are no known health hazards from exposure to lamps that are
F intact and which are used within an enclosed fixture. No adverse effects
are expected from occational exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of
good practise, avoid prolonged or frequent exposure to lamps unless
D there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from broken lamps is the
possibility of sustaining glass cuts.
