It is advised to employ the shutter or select a black image on the projector in order to reduce the risk of the emergency.

General safety instructions

  • This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous.
  • Do not stare into beam when the projector is on. The bright light may result in permanent eye damage.
  • Before operating this equipment please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
  • Installation and preliminary adjustments must be performed by qualified Barco personnel or by authorized Barco service dealers.
  • All warnings on the projector and in the documentation manuals must be adhered to.
  • All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.
  • All local installation codes should be adhered to.

Notice on safety

This equipment is built in accordance with the requirements of the applicable international safety standards. These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical components, materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment's normal operation fails.

Notice on optical radiation

This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projector's optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye and skin when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specifically related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is equivalent with lamp based systems.

Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance (HD). The HD is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter "Hazard Distance".

Barco M4K15 - Notice on optical radiation - 1

WARNING: No direct exposure to the beam within the hazard distance shall be permitted, RG3 (Risk Group 3) IEC EN 62471-5:2015

Barco M4K15 - Notice on optical radiation - 2

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Notice on laser radiation

The laser distance meter that is optional equipment for this projector can emit a class 2 laser ranging beam of 0.95 mW / 638 nm. When installed correctly, this distance meter is located on the front side of the projector (see ). The laser beam can be enabled by either pressing the button on the equipment, via the projector menu, or via the projector software. Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when staring into the laser ranging beam.

To prevent personal injury

  • To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before powering the projector or adjusting the projector.
  • To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. The weight of a basic projector is about 48 kg (105 lb) without lens.

- To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all covers are correctly installed. See installation procedures.

- Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens! High luminance could result in damage to the eye.

- Warning: extremely high brightness projector: This projector embeds extremely high brightness (radiance) lasers; this laser light is processed through the projectors optical path. Native laser light is not accessible by the end user in any use case. The light exiting the projection lens has been diffused within the optical path, representing a larger source and lower radiance value than native laser light. Nevertheless the projected light represents a significant risk for the human eye when exposed directly within the beam. This risk is not specific related to the characteristics of laser light but solely to the high thermal induced energy of the light source; which is comparable with lamp based systems. Thermal retinal eye injury is possible when exposed within the Hazard Distance. The Hazard Distance (HD) is defined from the projection lens surface towards the position of the projected beam where the irradiance equals the maximum permissible exposure as described in the chapter “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16.

- High Brightness Warning: The projector light source may not be switched on or the shutter must be closed when no projection lens is installed.

- Based on international requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related Hazard Distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing optional barriers. Within the restricted area operator training is considered sufficient. The applicable separation heights are discussed in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16.

- Warning: Laser radiation when optional laser distance meter is installed. Do not stare into laser ranging beam. Class 2 laser beam could result in damage to the eye.

- Don't put your hand in front of the beam.

- This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempts to modify/replace mechanics or electronics inside the housing or compartments will violate any warranties and may be hazardous. This kind of operations shall only be performed by Barco authorized service personnel.

- Before attempting to remove any of the projector's covers, you must turn off the projector and disconnect from the wall outlet.

- When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord from the power net.

- The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the soil outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

  • Do not stack or hang projectors without using the stacking frame.
  • Max units in stacked configuration, 3 units.
  • Max units in hanging configuration, 2 units.
  • When hanging projectors on a truss with the Barco stacking frame, always secure the stack with safety cables between the projectors and the truss.
  • When using the projector in a hanging configuration, always mount 2 safety cables. See installation manual for the correct use of these cables.
  • Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and possible injury to the user.
  • Only place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling mount rig.
  • It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Always switch the output light off when replacing a lens.
  • Lenses or shields shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
  • Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit filled with Mono-ethylene glycol (1,2-ethane diol) and inhibitors in aqueous solution (34% active). If the unlikely event that the cooling circuits have a leak, switch off the device and contact qualified service personnel. The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
  • Never point or allow light to be directed on people or reflective objects within the HD zone.
  • All operators shall have received adequate training and be aware of the potential hazards.
  • In case of using an external cooling system position the hoses of the cooling system so that they will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

To prevent fire hazard

  • Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!
  • Barco large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing flammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a fire. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no flammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40 cm (16") for this projector.
  • Do not place any object in the projection light path at close distance to the projection lens output. The concentrated light at the projection lens output may result in damage, fire or burn injuries.
  • Ensure that the projector is solidly mounted so that the projection light path cannot be changed by accident.
  • Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. . Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of fire, use sand, dry powder fire extinguishers. Never use water on an electrical fire. Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.
  • Slots and openings in this equipment are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
  • Projection rooms must be well ventilated or cooled in order to avoid build up of heat. It is necessary to vent hot exhaust air from projector and cooling system to the outside of the building.
  • Let the projector cool completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.

To prevent battery explosion

  • Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.
  • Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
  • For disposal of used batteries, always consult federal, state, local and provincial hazardous waste disposal rules and regulations to ensure proper disposal.

To prevent projector damage

  • The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Cleaning the booth area would be monthly-minimum. Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air flow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.
  • The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets.
  • If more than one projector is installed in a common projection booth, the exhaust air flow requirements are valid for EACH individual projector system. Note that inadequate air extraction or cooling will result in decreased life expectancy of the projector as a whole as well as causing premature failure of the lasers.
  • In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of its covers in place.
  • Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
  • Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off and remove all power from the projector. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualified service personnel.
  • Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector.
  • Do not use this equipment near water.
  • Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices in which case there is a loss of warranty.
  • Never place the projector in direct sunlight. Sunlight on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices™ in which case there is a loss of warranty.
  • Save the original shipping carton and packing material. They will come in handy if you ever have to ship your equipment. For maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.
  • Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution.
  • To ensure the highest optical performance and resolution, the projection lenses are specially treated with an anti-reflective coating, therefore, avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. For lens cleaning follow the instructions precisely as stipulated in the projector manual.
  • Only use zoom lenses of the Barco TLD+ series on the 4K models of the projector. Using other lenses will damage the internal optics. For suitable fixed TLD+ lenses contact Barco or see Barco website.
  • Allowed ambient temperature range depends on altitude:
  • between 0 and 1000 meter altitude: ambient temperature range = 0^ (32°F) to 40^ (104°F)
  • between 1000 and 3000 meter altitude: ambient temperature range = 0^ (32°F) to 30^ (86°F)
  • Rated humidity = 0% RH to 80% RH Non-condensed.

On servicing

  • Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage potentials and risk of electric shock.
    • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  • Attempts to alter the factory-set internal controls or to change other control settings not specially discussed in this manual can lead to permanent damage to the projector and cancellation of the warranty.
  • Replacement parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replacement parts or authorized replacement parts which have the same characteristics as the Barco original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, fire, electric shock or other hazards. Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.
  • Safety check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

1.4 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance

HD

Barco M4K15 - HD - 1

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See chapter "HD in function of modifying optics", page 19.

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent spectators' eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than 2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less than 1.0 meter (SW) lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD.

These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section 6.6.3.5.

The installer and user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, separation height, barriers, detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation within the hazard distance.

For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the fixed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the floor level. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual's shoulders, within the HD. Sufficiently large separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

SH Separation Height

SW Separation Width

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufficient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.

On Image 1–3 a typical setup is displayed. It must be verified if these minimum requirements are met. If required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier, like a red rope as illustrated in Image 1–3.

The restricted area sticker can be replaced by a sticker with only the symbol.

RESTRICTED AREA PR RZ

Image 1-3

USA market

For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.

LIPs for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters, business rooms, class rooms, museums ...) shall be installed at height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be

not less than 1 meter. Alternatively, in case the height of the separation barrier for the horizontal clearance is at least 1 meter high then the horizontal clearance (SW) can be reduced to:

  • 0 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.5 meter.
  • 0.1 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.4 meter.
  • 0.6 meter if the height of the hazard zone is minimum 2.2 meter.

LIPs for installations in unrestrained environment (concerts, ...) shall be installed at a height vertically above the floor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the hazard distance zone.

The LIP shall be installed by Barco or by a trained and Barco-authorized installer or shall only be transferred to laser light show variance holders. This is applicable for dealers and distributors since they may need to install the LIP (demo install) and/or they transfer (sell, rent, lease) the LIP. Dealers and distributors shall preserve sales and installation records for a period of 5 years. Variance holders may currently hold a variance for production of Class IIIB and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporating RG3 LIPs. Laser light show variance for RG3 LIPs can be requested by mailing the application to RadHealthCustomerService@fda.hhs.gov.

The installation checklist for laser illuminated RG3 projectors must be fully completed after the installation. The installation checklist can be downloaded from the Barco website. The installer shall preserve the checklist for a period of 5 years.

Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

1.5 HD for fully enclosed projection systems

Barco M4K15 - HD for fully enclosed projection systems - 1

HD

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The projector is also suitable for rear projection applications; projecting a beam onto a defuse coated projection screen. As displayed in Image 1-4 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

RESTRICTED AREA RA TH RZ SW HD DIFFUSE PR PD SW HD REFLECTION SW

Image 1-4

RA Restricted Access location (enclosed projection area).

PR Projector.

TH Theater (observation area).

RZ Restriction Zone.

PD Projection Distance.

SW Separation Width. Must be minimum 1 meter.

For this type of setup 3 different HD shall be considered:

  • HD as discussed in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance", page 16, relevant for intrabeam exposure.
  • HD_ reflection : the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection screen.
  • HD_diffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the diffuse surface of the rear projection screen.

As described in “High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance”, page 16, it is mandatory to create a restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any HD. In the enclosed projection area the combination of two restricted zones are relevant: The restricted zone of the projected beam toward the screen; taking into account 1 meter Separation Width (SW) from the beam onward. Combined with the restricted zone related to the rear reflection from the screen (HD), also taking into account a 1 meter lateral separation.

The HD_reflection distance equals 25% of the difference between the determined HD distance and the projection distance to the rear projection screen. To determine the HD distance for the used lens and projector model see chapter “HD in function of modifying optics”, page 19.

$$ \mathrm{HDreflection} = 25 \% (\mathrm{HD} - \mathrm{PD}) $$

The light emitted from the screen within the observation shall never exceed the RG2 exposure limit, determined at 10 cm. The HDase can be neglected if the measured light at the screen surface is below 5000 cd/m² or 15000 LUX.

About the used protocol

The protocol is the code send out by the remote control when a button is pressed. Depending on this code, the projector can decode the signals. The remote control can be used with two different protocols: RC5 and NEC. Depending on the projector to control the remote control can be switched between these protocols.

Which protocol to use

  • The NEC protocol has to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: F70, F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, UDM, XDL, etc.
    • The RC5 protocol has to be used all legacy Barco projectors: HDQ 2k40, HDF, HDX W, etc.

How to set

  1. Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see "Pulse RCU, battery installation", page 30.
  2. Place the switch in the desired position.

Image 3-4

Remarks when using the RC5 protocol

Due to new or updated functionality not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the legacy Barco RCU and projectors. Take the following limitations into account:

  • Buttons Shutter open and Shutter close emit the same code when in RC5 mode. This because the legacy RCU's only had 1 button for Shutter functionality.
  • Buttons Power on and Power off emit the same code when in RC5 mode. This because the legacy RCU's only had 1 button for Power functionality.
  • The RGB filter button is not supported.
  • The Input selection button is not supported.
  • The Default value button is not supported.
  • The Macro button is not supported.

3.3 Pulse RCU, function of the on/off button

Function of the remote control on/off button

The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 Image 3–5). Switching off the remote control prevents that unwanted commands are send due to an accidental key press. Furthermore, switching the RCU off will extend the battery life time of the remote control.

To activate the remote control, press the on/off button.

To deactivate the remote control, press the on/off button again.

Default after (re)placing batteries, is "ON".

3.4 Using the RCU

Pointing to the reflective screen or IR sensors

Switch on the RCU and point the front of the RCU to the reflective screen surface or point directly to one of the projector IR sensors. Make sure you are within the effective operating distance (30 m, 100 ft in a straight line). The RCU will not function properly if strong light strikes the IR sensor window or if there are obstacles between the RCU and the IR receiver.

natural_image Diagram showing a remote connected to a rectangular screen, with a small box nearby (no text or symbols)

Image 3-6

The RCU can also hard-wired been used. See chapter "Using the XLR connector of the RCU", page 34.

Using the RCU in combination with a 3D emitter

When using a 3D emitter that radiates IR beams (e.g. the optional 3D emitter that Barco provides), the IR beams of the 3D emitter may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU.

If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable with XLR connector. It is also be advised to turn the IR receivers of the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. The IR receivers can be turned off in the GUI: System Settings > Communication > IR Control.

Functions button pressed indicator

  • Rapidly flashes when commands are sent, this is the normal "button pressed" indication.
  • 1 Short flash when remote control is switched ON by means of the on/off button.
  • Continuously lit (up to 5 seconds) when address digits are expected after pressing the ADDR button.
  • Slowly flashes (2 times a second) when the battery level is becoming low; typically when more than 85% of the useful life is past.

3.7 Pulse RCU, function of the "RGB filter" button

Filtering the color of the projected image

By pressing the RGB filter button on the RCU you can place a color filter on the output of the projector. This feature can be useful during the installation and configuration of a multi-projector or multi-channel setup. By having one projector project a red image and another project a green image, it is easier to spot and adjust the overlap section.

By pressing this button multiple times, you will have different active filters, in the following cycle:

• Red + Green + Blue (default)
- Red only
- Green only
- Blue only
- Red + Green
- Green + Blue
- Red + Blue

12 V output

12 V output, maximum 1 A, available when projector is not in stand by.

DMX interface

DMX is used as communication bus between different devices in the light technic. Each device has an input and an output, so that the bus can be looped between the different devices. According to the standard a five wire cable with XLR connector is used.

You can use the DMX input port to connect a DMX device (DMX console) to the projector. This way you can control the projector from that DMX device (console). The DMX output port can be connected with the next device in the loop.

DMX

DMX-512 Lighting protocol over RS-485 interface. Carries information of 512 channels from a lighting controller to lighting devices. Standardized by USITT.

RS232/RS422 input

The communication interface of the UDM series projector supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication on two different types of input connectors, a Sub-D connector and an USB connector acting as RS input when connected to an USB input of a PC.

You can use the RS232/RS422 input to connect a local PC to your UDM series projector. By this way you can configure and control your projector from your local PC.

Advantages of using RS232/RS422 serial communication:

  • easy adjustment of the projector via PC (or MAC).
  • allow storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
  • wide range of control possibilities.
  • address range from 0 to 255.
  • sending data to the projector (update).
  • copying data from the projector (backup).

RS232

Barco M4K15 - RS232 - 1

An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the communication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-SUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical '0' is > + 3V, Logical '1' is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition zone.

RS422

Barco M4K15 - RS422 - 1

An EIA serial digital interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of balanced (differential) voltage, digital interface circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than RS-232. This signal governs the asynchronous transmission of computer data at speeds of up to 920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port standard for Macintosh computers. When the difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical '0'. When the difference is > +0.2V that equals to a logical '1'.

USB port

The communication interface is equipped with a master USB port, type "A" connector. This USB port will simplify the service procedures for firmware updates or for downloading the log files without a network connection.

If the only file on the USB device is the firmware file (a “*.fw” file), the projector will automatically start one of the following processes.

  • cornet.fw: The projector will upgrade or downgrade, depending on the version number.
  • LogExtractor.fw: The log files will be downloaded.

Functionality of the Quad Combo input Mk II

The Quad Combo Input Mk II support 12G input and throughput on the SDI connectors.

Compared with the Mk I the Mk II includes the following:

• SDI input A supports 12G input signals.
• SDI input C functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on input A.
• SDI input D functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on input B.
- HDBaseT input 1 supports network connectivity.

Barco M4K15 - Functionality of the Quad Combo input Mk II - 1

CAUTION: Ethernet should only be connected to either the 10/100 base-T port (on the communication panel) or the HDBaseT input (on the Quad Combo Input Mk II). Using both at the same time will lead to undefined behavior.

SDI input & output - How does it work?

When connecting an SDI source to the projector and the signal is HD or 3G, you can choose any of the four input connectors.

When connecting multiple projectors with the same signal, you can connect the signal as follows:

  • Connect the source signal to Input A or B of the first projector.
    • If the source signal is connected to input A, connect input/output C to the Input of the following projector.
    • If the source signal is connected to input B, connect input/output D to the Input of the following projector.
  • Continue in the same fashion until all projectors are connected.

When connecting a 12G SDI source to the projector, you can only connect that source to input A.

Barco M4K15 - SDI input &amp; output - How does it work? - 1

Only Input A accepts 12G SDI signals. While it is technically possible to connect a 12G SDI source to Input B and connect that source to another projector in line (using Input/Output D), this first projector itself will not be able to process the 12G signal.

6.2 Displaying multiple sources: Stitched layouts

About stitched layouts

The first time you use a selected single source, the source will be displayed in the projector's native resolution. If the resolution of the source is different to the projector's resolution, the image is stretched or shrunk.

It is however possible to configure and display two or four source signals to make up one single image in full native resolution. This is called a Stitched Layout: the sources are stitched together.

The following table lists which stitched layouts you can use, and in which display mode these layouts can be used.

The table below describes the different Stitch Layouts and scan directions.

7.2 Adjusting the sharpness

About adjusting the sharpness

The sharpness adjustment amplifies the high frequency components in the picture. This means that by increase the sharpness, the picture will be perceived as sharper, and if decreased, the picture will be perceived as more blurry.

Increasing the sharpness will have the best effect in high contrast images, eg a table with text and borders. In a natural picture, high sharpness can be perceived as noise, as all details in the picture will be amplified. Available range: -2 to 8.

Default value: 0

7.4 Setting the desired Gamma type

About the alternate gamma types

Next to the standard gamma correction, the projectors can be manipulated in a way to simulate gamma types for other devices or purposes. This includes sRGB (standard Red-Green-Blue), Power gamma, DICOM gamma ranges and for simulation projectors sim1.

DICOM gamma ranges are usually reserved for medical displays. While this projector is not a certified DICOM display, it can simulate certain specific DICOM gammas at a few selected max light outputs. The DICOM gamma assumes that both ambient light and the projector outputs black as 0 cd/m^2 . Then there will be a few predefined gamma curves at the following light outputs:

• DICOM 10: 10 cd/m²
• DICOM 60: 60 cd/m²
• DICOM 180: 180 cd/m²
• DICOM 250: 250 cd/m²
• DICOM 300: 300 cd/m²
• DICOM 400: 400 cd/m²

Barco M4K15 - About the alternate gamma types - 1

This is the full list. Take into account that the available DICOM gamma types for your projector type may be more limited than this list.

Exception when using an HDR source

The only alternate color gamma that can not be selected in this menu is PQ/HDR. Because the color output of HDR is dependant on extra factors such as screen luminance, a separate menu has been made available for this (PQ).

If the source signal is HDR encoded an HDR icon will be visible next to the source signal. This is visible both the Source selection menu, as well as the status menu.

Barco M4K15 - How to adjust the gamma type? - 4

Tip: If not sure what gamma type to select, keep the default value auto selected. This automatic mode will determine the used gamma type based on the incoming signal.

However: keep in mind when using the automatic mode, your media player needs to be configured correctly as well. While most mainstream media player devices will be configured correctly by default, we cannot guarantee this is the case for every device available on the market. If you notice the projected image seems "off", it may be necessary to check the configuration of your media player. For more info, check the user guide of your media player device.

7.5 Digital Shift & Zoom

What can be done?

The image can be optically shifted by using the vertical and horizontal lens shift.

If you want to reach a lens shift beyond what is possible with the optical shift, you can also perform a digital lens shift. This digital shift will occur on the DMD, rather than the lens holder. So take into account that this additional shift is minimal and restricted to the limits of the chip used.

For the optical zoom and lens shift, navigate to Home → Installation → Lens.

Barco M4K15 - What can be done? - 1

Lens shift is only possible when the used lens has been fully calibrated. To calibrate the current lens, navigate to System Settings → Maintenance → Lens Calibration.

The effect of Digital Zoom

This function zooms in the picture digitally. When zooming in, the center of the image will increase in size. This means that the outer part of the picture will be outside the picture frame. When zooming out, the result is that the picture will be smaller than the projectors picture frame. The area outside the rendered picture will then be black.

For an example, see the following photos. The red lines in the figures represent the DMD outline.

The effect of Digital Shift

This function will shift the picture digitally, meaning that the picture will be moved in any direction. As a result, some parts of the picture might be shifted outside the DMD range.

For an example, see the following pictures. The red lines in the figures represent the DMD outline

7.7 Displaying HDR content

About HDR and PQ

Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) is a non-linear electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) that allows for the display of High Dynamic Range (HDR) content with a luminance level of up to 10 000 cd/m² and can be used with the Rec. 2020 color space.

When do I know my content is HDR encoded?

If the source signal is HDR encoded, an HDR icon will be visible next to the source signal. This is visible both in the Source selection menu, as well as the status menu.

Menu Status UDX 4K32 L1 HDMI L1 HDMI 1080p 60 Hz ON 84% Flex 24°C 238V 101mb 31% Display mode Mono Transport delay 392 Frequency 60.0 Hz Output resolution 4K-UHD - Fill aspect RGB mode UDX-4K32-2590077435 2.0.1 10.200.32.80 0 2 1 4K 3D HDR RF

Image 7-31 Example of the HDR icon on the status menu

How to properly display HDR content?

If your provided HDR content has been mastered with PQ (e.g. HDR10 and Dolby Vision), a few changes can be made in order to project the intended mastering on screen. These changes are necessary because HDR content has been mastered specifically for HDR capable displays that are watched in living rooms. These conditions are different from a non-HDR projector and darker cinema-like environments.

The projected HDR content depends on the following factors:

  • Mastering luminance: This is content-specific and cannot be changed.
  • Screen luminance: Every projection screen has a specific luminance (measured in nits or foot-Lambert). Entering this luminance in the projector will adapt the content towards the intended HDR result.
  • HDR Boost: A variable "booster" that may amplify or downplay the HDR output.
  1. Make sure the chosen Gamma Type is set to AUTO. For more info, refer to "Setting the desired Gamma type", page 65.
  2. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → HDR.

  2. Enter the Screen luminance (which is measured in nits or foot-Lambert).
  3. Alter the HDR boost if necessary. You can modify this value to somewhere between 0.8 and 1.2.

7.8 Dynamic contrast

About dynamic contrast

Projectors rely on contrast to showcase dark scenes or black parts on the projected surface. Whites and light areas are usually projected without issue, but blacks and dark areas are a different matter. With low contrast, blacks and dark areas appear more grey. The dynamic contrast menu is here to improve the dark scene accuracy.

Dynamic contrast checks the projected content dynamically and adapts the power of the light source accordingly to create the best possible outcome.

Barco M4K15 - About dynamic contrast - 1

Take note that dynamic contrast isn't magic. Adapting the light source to adapt its contrast according to the played content will have an impact on the total light output of the projector. If you do not care about this feature and want your projector to display the brightest possible content instead, you can turn this feature off.

How to set the dynamic contrast?

  1. In the main menu, select Image → Advanced → DynaBlack.

Medium DynaBlack

Image 7-34

The DynaBlack menu is displayed.

Barco M4K15 - How to set the dynamic contrast? - 3

Do not panic if there isn't a visible change after a few seconds. Each change in the dynamic contrast menu has an impact on the light source, thus these changes will only become visible over time.

  1. Use the ▲ or ▼ key to zoom the lens in or out.

Use the ◀ or ▶ key to focus the lens to far or near.

8.2 Configuring the lens, shift

What can be done?

The image can be optically shifted by using the vertical and horizontal lens shift.

If you want to reach a lens shift beyond what is possible with the optical shift, you can also perform a digital lens shift. This digital shift will occur on the DMD, rather than the lens holder. So take into account that this additional shift is minimal and restricted to the limits of the chip used.

For the digital zoom and shift, navigate to Home → Image → Digital Zoom Shift. For more info, see “Digital Shift & Zoom”, page 67.

Barco M4K15 - Configuring the lens, shift - 1

Optical lens shift is only possible when the used lens has been fully calibrated. To calibrate the lens, navigate to System Settings → Maintenance → Lens Calibration.

Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to shift the lens (image) in vertical direction.

8.3 Configuring the lens, dynamic focus

About focus drift and dynamic focus

Due to the design of TLD+ lenses and ultra-short throw lenses (UST lenses), these type of lenses tends to heat up over time when used in projectors. This has the side-effect of a slight shift in focus between the lens in its cold state and the lens in its heated state, which is referred to as "focus drift".

While there are external solutions available that perform a "focus drift compensation", a dynamic focus feature has been implemented from Pulse software version 2.0 onward that handles this focus drift. While enabled, the projector will perform the necessary calculations in order to handle this drift in focus.

Barco M4K15 - About focus drift and dynamic focus - 1

The amount of focus drift can differ between lenses. For that reason it is important to calibrate the focus drift when a new lens is mounted in the projector.

Use the calibration wizard in the Projector Toolset to calibrate focus drift. For more info on the focus drift calibration, consult the Projector Toolset user guide.

How to enable dynamic focus?

  1. To enable dynamic focus mode, select Installation → Lens.

8.5 Configuring the lens, tilt sensor

When to use the tilt sensor menu

The projector has a built-in tilt sensor that detects the angle at which the projector is mounted. If you are in a situation where you need to fine-tune the projector because you want to achieve a picture at a specific angle (e.g. perfectly level, or a perfect fit in a multi-projector setup), you can use the tilt sensor menu as an aide when adjusting the projector feet, rigging frame or other used mounting mechanisms.

How to read the tilt sensor values

  1. In the main menu, select Installation → Lens → Tilt sensor.

If you notice the tilt sensor isn't working correctly (e.g. when compared to a level), you can calibrate the sensor in the settings menu. For more info, see "Advanced settings – Tilt sensor calibration", page 163.

8.6 Laser ranging

What can be done?

When the optional laser range finder is installed on the projector, you can use the laser source to measure the distance between the front of the projector and the surface you are projecting on.

This can help you fine-tune the position of the projector.

Barco M4K15 - What can be done? - 1

Take into account that while a laser ranging session is active, the projected image will be off. This to have no interference between laser pointer and projected image. Instead, a red border will be projected giving the outline of where the projected image should be.

8.11.2 Warping - Screen Size

About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment

If the used source aspect ratio is different than the projector aspect ratio (e.g. source is 16:9 and projector is 16:10), then black bars will be projected. In this example case a black bar on top and bottom of the image will be projected. The warp area contains not only the image information but also the black bars.

If we want to position (e.g. the active left top corner exactly on the screen using 4 corner warp), then it is very hard to do that as we are moving the black left top corner and we do not have control over the exact position image left top corner. By moving the outline of the warp screen size to the active image information, the corner points of the warp area are now exactly on the corner points of the active image information and makes warping much easier.

8.11.5 Warping - Warp files

About custom Warp Files

Next to setting your specific warp configuration in the GUI, you can also upload or download a custom warp grid in XML format to/from the projector. This is a time-saving option when multiple projectors need an identical Warp configuration.

To upload or download warp files you can use Projector Toolset or Prospector tool to upload/download the warp grid in the format of an XML file. Alternatively, you can contact the "file endpoint" directly via the curl program or some other tool that supports http upload.

For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using the Projector Toolset, refer to the Projector Toolset user manual.

For more information on uploading/downloading Warp files using curl or other tools that supports HTTP upload, refer to the Pulse API Reference Guide.

Barco M4K15 - About custom Warp Files - 1

When uploading a warp file that is too big, or with warp parameters outside the limits of the projector, some irregularities can occur. It will show up in two ways:

1: No warp enabled, picture still unwarped.
2: Distortions and artifacts in the edges of the picture.

There will be no error messages or warnings in the display when this occurs. The above mentioned symptoms is the only indication of this case.

8.11.6 Warping - Latency control in a multi projector setup

Barco M4K15 - Warping - Latency control in a multi projector setup - 1

Transport latency

The added delay in the image processing chain. The value is the number of lines relative to the output resolution.

Barco M4K15 - Transport latency - 1

Latency

The total time from the first pixel is coming in on an input source, until the first light representing that pixel is visible on the screen. This includes the transport delay. The value is normally given in milliseconds.

Functional description

Every projector in a multi-projector setup will have a different latency. This latency depends on the amount of warp and on the frequency of the projected image. In order to have no visible difference in the overall projected image, the user needs to be able to control the latency of each projector.

The latency value can be read out in the status menu for each individual projector.

How to configure transport delay?

  1. Read out and note the latency of each projector in the multi-projector setup. You can find this latency under Transport delay in the status menu for each projector.

8.12 Blending & masking

About blending

Blending is used in multi channel installation to have a seamless transition between the channels. Image blending gives the appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of wide screen applications.

The principle is that the light intensity in the blend zone from each projector will be adjusted individually, so that the rendering on the screen are perceived as from one projector.

Width, Projector 2Width, Projector 1 Picture frame Projector 1 Picture frame Projector 2 Overlap / Blend Zone

Image 8-61

From the start (mask) position, you can blend zone size per edge (left, top, right, bottom). For each edge there will be a drop-off curve for the blend zone.

Waiting period and blend maintenance period

The heating and cooling down of the lens in a projector startup and shutdown cycle can have a minor drifting effect on the blending and masking areas. Due to this, it is advised to wait 15–20 minutes after projector startup before performing blending and masking actions. This to make sure the drift on the blend region is as minimal as possible. For a similar reason, it is advised to wait 15–20 minutes after projector startup before starting any blending maintenance in your existing setup.

Barco M4K15 - Waiting period and blend maintenance period - 1

It is recommended to perform a blend maintenance after every 10–20 startup-shutdown cycles of the projector.

8.12.2 Blend & Blend mask

About masking and blending width or height

Offset is used to clip the image on one or multiple sides (masking). This is used to hide parts of the picture that should not be shown on the screen. For example: if the source is a Windows PC, you can hide the menu bar using this method.

The larger the Mask value, the more the image is masked (by black bar) at the corresponding side. E.g. Top mask of 100 will blank the top 100 lines.

Height or width is used to create a blending zone with a smooth brightness drop off. This is used to compensate for the double brightness in overlap areas. The value is the size of the blended area in pixels.

How to set up basic blend zones?

  1. In the main menu, select Installation → Blend and Mask → Blend mask.

Example of the use of blending

When projecting an image with 2 or more projectors, there is always an small overlap that should be corrected by using the blending function.

Barco M4K15 - Example of the use of blending - 1

In order to obtain a satisfying result for the Blend function, the overlap / mask zone are recommended to be at least 10% of the picture width.

The basic principle is that the overlap setup in the source shall correspond with the mask width setup for the projector. That means that if the overlap zone for the source is set to 500 pixels, the width of the mask zone is the projector also must be set to 500 pixels.

First step is to align the image from the projectors as accurate as possible in a mechanical way, meaning without any optical corrections. At the same time, establish an overlap in the pictures between the two screens.

Then adjust the remaining irregularities by using the shift and warp features in the projectors to obtain the last fine tuning of the alignment.

Enable blending and activate Show lines.

First set the mask width for the right edge of the first projector. Enter a width value equal to the overlap area (width1).

Repeat for the left edge of the second projector.

Adjust the offset to cut the image on each side (masking).

Barco M4K15 - About custom Blend Files - 1

When uploading custom blend files onto multiple projectors, make sure that the resolution of the blend file is supported by the projector you are uploading it to. A mismatch of projector resolution and blend mask resolution will result in a sub-optimal image performance. Verify the supported resolutions for the specific projector model via the Introspection tool [Introspection – image – resolution – alpha]. For more info on the introspection tool, consult the Pulse API reference guide.

8.12.4 Basic black level adjustment

About adjusting the black level

The purpose of the black level adjustment is to align the black levels in the overlapped regions with the black levels in the other regions.

This is needed because the black levels will be brighter in the blend zones, since multiple projectors will project on the same screen area.

The size of the black level area is calculated automatically from the blend zones. This is done by using the start position and size of each edge of the blend and adding an additional size of 8 pixels to reduce the effect known as "sea of mirrors".

You can also specify the offsets manually by turning off the automatic calculation. The black level value is adjusted in a 16-bit resolution from 0 to 65535.

The following figure shows how this occurs in a side by side configuration without any correction of the black level.

8.12.5 RGB gain adjustment

About RGB gain adjustment

The purpose of black level correction is to ensure a uniform black level in multi projector setups. Even when two projectors are of the same type, different projectors will output slightly different colors for black due to minor variations in their optical components. So if the projected image of the projectors overlap, there will be 3 different black levels: one for the zone where only the picture of the left projector (zone 1), one for the Blend zone (zone 2), and one for the zone where there is only the picture of the right projector (zone 3).

Picture Left Picture RightBlend Zone

Barco M4K15 - About RGB gain adjustment - 1

natural_image Pure black rectangle with a vertical gray stripe on the left edge (no text or symbols)

Image 8–76

The black levels for zone 1 and zone 3 are typically corrected by defining a black level mask, which is applied to the image of each projector. This system is already in place but the applied mask is monochrome.

Using the Basic Black Level menu, you can already specify the area of the mask and its contents. But by using the RGB Adjustment page, you can specify the multiplication factors (gains) for the Red, Green and Blue colors separately.

8.13 Illumination

What can be done?

Within a certain percentage, the light output of the light source can be reduced by reducing the power slider. Alternatively, you can enable CLO mode (Constant light output) for a constant light output over a longer period of time.

Barco M4K15 - What can be done? - 1

You can only change the power output when the shutter is opened.

About CLO mode

All light sources naturally decrease their intensity over time. In order to prevent a decreasing output in a multi-projector setup, you can activate CLO mode to make sure that the light output remains constant.

CLO mode will ensure that the projector regulates its illumination power to maintain the same level of output light during the lifetime of the light source. This requires that the light source power is not set to 100% from the start, but to a lower value. The lower this value is set, the longer the projector will be able to maintain the output level.

Barco M4K15 - About CLO mode - 1

CLO can not be used when the light source is off, the shutter is closed or if the Dynamic Black feature is active (if available).

How to reduce the power

8.14 3D projection

3D setup

The projector is capable of displaying 3D images and movies in active stereoscopic 3D.

Setup of a 3D installation requires an advanced understanding of 3D systems, both for the projector as well as for the system the signal source originates from. In a 3D setup it is crucial that the projected images are perfectly synchronized through the whole signal path, from the signal source to the picture viewed through the 3D goggles.

Regarding setting up the proper signal source, please refer to the user manual or online help for that graphic card. For example: when using NVIDIA Quadro cards, use the NVIDIA Control Panel to manage your 3D settings.

8.14.1 Active Stereo & Passive Stereo

What is Passive Stereo?

Passive Stereoscopic 3D (also known as “Passive Stereo”) is the standard method of creating the illusion of depth in an image, by means of stereopsis for binocular vision.

To present stereoscopic pictures, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen through polarizing filters or presented on a display with polarized filters. For Digital Cinema, a silver screen is used so that polarization is preserved. On most passive displays every other row of pixels are polarized for one eye or the other. This method is also known as interlacing.

The viewer wears glasses which contain a pair of opposite polarizing filters. As each filter only passes light which is similarly polarized and blocks the opposite polarized light, each eye only sees one of the images, and the effect is achieved.

What is Active Stereo?

Field sequential 3D (also known as active 3D or “Active Stereo”) is a technique of displaying stereoscopic 3D images. It works by only presenting the image intended for the left eye while blocking the right eye's view, then presenting the right-eye image while blocking the left eye, and repeating this so rapidly that the interruptions do not interfere with the perceived fusion of the two images into a single 3D image.

This system setup uses liquid crystal shutter glasses (also known as active shutter glasses). Each eye's glass contains a liquid crystal layer which has the property of becoming opaque when voltage is applied, being otherwise transparent. The glasses are controlled by a timing signal that allows the glasses to alternately block one eye, and then the other, in synchronization with the refresh rate of the screen. The timing synchronization to the video equipment may be achieved via a wired signal or via wireless communication, this by using either an infrared or radio frequency (e.g. Bluetooth, DLP link) transmitter.

Projection method used

This projector can only show active 3D images, used in combination with a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses. While it is allowed to connect passive stereo source signals, the image processing of the projector will convert those signals to an active 3D compatible image.

The options on the projector software allow you to fine-tune the 3D settings accordingly to the specifications of the 3D emitter.

Barco M4K15 - Projection method used - 1

If a 3D emitter is used that radiates IR beams, the IR beams may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. To turn off the IR receivers, see “Pulse RCU, function of the on/off button”, page 31.

8.14.2 Setup process 3D projection

How to setup 3D projection?

  1. Connect the proper source cables to the projector. For more info, see "Connection possibilities", page 112.
  2. Set up and connect your 3D emitter to the projector. For more info, refer to the user manual of your 3D emitter.
  3. Power on the projector completely.
  4. Select the correct stitched source Input in the Source menu. See "Displaying multiple sources: Stitched layouts", page 56.
  5. Depending on the chosen 3D emitter and chosen source, correct the 3D setup. For more info, see "3D Setup", page 113.

8.14.3 Connection possibilities

Barco M4K15 - Connection possibilities - 1

At this moment, the only inputs supporting 3D on the Pulse input boards are the DisplayPort inputs and HDMI input. More inputs may support 3D in a future release.

8.14.4 3D Setup

Why change the 3D setup?

While Barco can provide a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses as options to this projector, you are also free to use a 3D emitter and active shutter glasses of your own choice. Since glasses and emitter can have various specifications compared to the ones Barco can provide, the 3D setup menu allows you to configure the output image to the specifications of your glasses and emitter. The following can be configured:

  • Swap Eyes: You can choose to invert the stereo Sync output signal (depending on the chosen 3D emitter and glasses).
  • Swap frame pair: This setting allows you to correct the frame doubling sequence. If the frame rate of the projected moving 3D content doesn't look smooth, this option may help improve this.
  • Dark time: You can select how much dark time the projected image will have between frames. You can choose one of the options between 1000 μs and 2500 μs.
  • Output mode: Choose the desired output mode. For more details, see further.
  • Sync Delay: You can increase or decrease the sync delay. The scale goes from -10 000 s to +10 000 s with a step of 100 s.

Choosing the desired output mode

The following output modes are available:

  • AutoStereo: Automatic mode (2D input = 2D output, 3D input = Active Stereo output).
  • Mono: Forces all source signals to 2D output.
    • ActiveStereo: Forces all source signals to Active Stereoscopic 3D.

Use the following table as an indicator of what display mode you require.

If a 3D emitter is used that radiates infrared beams (IR beams), the IR beams may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU. If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable. It is also advised to turn the IR receivers on the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. To turn off the IR receivers, see "Pulse RCU, function of the on/off button", page 31.

9.1 Profiles introduction

About Profiles

The profile function makes it possible to store different profiles / projector setups for different use cases, and quickly recall them when needed. This means that it is not necessary to enter a lot of different menus to adjust the projector setup for specific recurring use cases. Due to the limited nature of this function and to avoid terminology confusion with more complex macro's, these are not called "macro's", but "profiles".

A few examples of different user cases are:

  • Building temporary gaming setups in bright auditorium-level environment, versus a darker "gaming room" or "cave".
  • Playing content from an old DVD versus playing the latest release from an HDR-coded Blu-Ray.
  • A rental projector that can be rented out for business presentations, concerts and other events that have different but recurring forms of content.

  • Select APPLY and click OK to apply the changes.

10.1.2 Projector address

About individual projector address

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or with a computer using serial communication. Therefore each projector has its own address. The factory default individual projector address is '0'.

When the address is set, the projector can be controlled with the RCU. Only addresses between 0 and 31 are supported for the RCU.

Next to an individual projector address, each projector has also a broadcast address for group control.

10.3 Communication, LAN setup

About a network connection

A network connection can be made via a wired connection or via the optional wireless unit.

10.3.1 Introduction to a Network connection

Barco M4K15 - Introduction to a Network connection - 1

DHCP

Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

Barco M4K15 - DHCP - 1

IP

Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Barco M4K15 - IP - 1

Subnet mask

A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.

Barco M4K15 - Subnet mask - 1

Default Gateway

A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

Barco M4K15 - Default Gateway - 1

MAC address

Media Access Control address. Unique hardware number, used in combination with the IP-address to connect to the network (LAN or WAN).

What should be set up for an Ethernet address?

Two ways can be used to assign an address:

  • use the Automatic setting so that an automatic address will be assigned.
  • Assign manually an IP address, Net-mask (subnet-mask), (default) gateway address.

- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. This must NOT be 0.0.0.0 for static IP-Address assignment. The IP address identifies a projector's location on the network in the same way a street address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address must identify a unique residence, an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.

  • Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
  • Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on the same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network. This must not be 0.0.0.0. If there is no router on the projector's local subnet then just set this field to an IP-Address on the subnet.

10.4 DMX

About the ways to control the projector via DMX

DMX signals can be connected to the DMX In port on the communicator interface when using a standard DMX cable equipped with XLR connector. The DMX out can be used to create a chain of DMX devices. One universe can control up to 512 channels.

If you are using a DMX console and other automated lighting products compatible with Art-Net, the Ethernet network can serve as the link for DMX control. All DMX controls can be sent over the Ethernet cable. Multiple universes are possible.

For a full list of all DMX channels, values and possible actions, see "DMX chart", page 193.

About the DMX menu

DMX FeatureWhat can be done?
DMX Mode Two different modes for DMX are available.Basic: A basic configuration where 2 channels are implemented.Extended: A full configuration, spread over 14 channels.For the full mapping of each used channel, refer to the DMX chart in the appendices. See “DMX chart”, page 193.
Start ChannelBefore a projector can execute DMX commands, a unique address (named DMX address or Starting channel) should be given to the projector.This address can vary from 1 to 512.
DMX MonitorIf a DMX device is connected, the settings per channel can be displayed via theMonitorbutton.
Reset for Max intensityYou can change the Shutter and intensity via DMX Channel 1 (both in Basic and Extended mode).If no DMX signals are available, you can reset the intensity value to its default (maximum) value of 255 using the Max Intensity button.
Auto power downThe projector can be forced to shut down after a certain time-out period if no DMX signals are available.Note: Value is set in minutes.
DMX Art-NetDMX can be sent via the Ethernet connector to the projector instead of the classic DMX connector. This function can be enabled or disabled. Art-Net is generally used when more than 512 addresses are used in your setup.
DMX Art-Net UniverseNote: DMX Art-Net Universe can only be used when Art-Net DMX is enabled.If Art-Net is enabled, you can specify which DMX universe this projector belongs to.
Front XLR connectorIf available on your projector, the power of the XLR connector on the front side of the projector can be enabled and set to a desired value.Note: If no front XLR connector is available on your projector, this option remains hidden.

10.13 Power saving settings

Why change the power saving features?

Standby Mode exists in the projector as a power-saving feature. If the projector is projecting no image, it will automatically go to Ready and standby mode after 15 minutes each. While in standby mode, it is no longer possible to use the OSD for anything other than a status overview.

Power saving features comes at the cost of disabling projection functionality. Depending on your specific installation, you may either want to:

  • increase the power-saving features to an absolute maximum (e.g. using the Standby ECO mode and reducing time-out to an absolute minimum)
  • reduce the power-saving features to allow technicians to modify the projector for as long as needed, or
  • disable the power saving features all together.

Available power modes

  • Ready: Disables Standby mode all together. Uses the most power, but keeps most of the projector functionality available.
  • Standby mode: After a set time-out, the projector disables most functionality to save power, safe the communication options. This allows the projector to be awoken either using the local keypad, the RCU or remotely using Projector Toolset, DMX or other automation controllers.
  • Standby ECO mode: After a set time-out, the projector disables almost all functionality to save power, safe a single small wake-up controller. This allows the projector to be awoken only using the local keypad or the RCU. The projector can not be awoken remotely using this method.

How to change the power saving feature?

  1. In the main menu, select Settings → Power settings.

10.17 Flex brightness

Barco M4K15 - Flex brightness - 1

This feature is available by default on the following devices: UDM 4k22, UDM W22.

This feature is also available as an option on the following devices: UDM 4K15, UDM W19, UDM W15.

Overview

With the FLEX technology the projector owners can lock the light output to different levels. The locking can be done via 3 different ways:

  • Via Projector Toolset when connected via an ethernet connection with the projector. For more information on how to set up and use the Flex license, see the Projector Toolset's user guide, chapter "Configuration, License / registration".
  • Via Barco Insights Management Suite when the GSM module is installed. For more information on how to set up and use the Flex license, see Projector Management Suite user guide, chapter "Projector Configuration tab" – "Flex brightness"
    • Via the OSD menu of the projector itself

To lock to a specific value a 4 digit code is necessary. These codes can be created by the projector owner using Projector Toolset or the Projector Management Suite.

Availability

The flex brightness function is license protected. This license is already available in the projector. To activate the flex brightness a flex code is necessary. This flex code can be requested for free and uploaded via Projector Toolset or the Projector Management Suite. For more information about uploading this flex code, see Projector Toolset's user guide, chapter “FLEX, light output control”.

For other models, Flex brightness is an option. You can order and buy a license file. This license file is linked with the projector type and projector serial number. Once you received you license file, upload this file via Projector Toolset to your projector. Once the file is uploaded, the same file has to be used to upload the Flex code.

Flex codes

Once your flex code is correctly uploaded, the projector creates a number of flex codes, one for each possible maximum light output. These codes are used for rental activities when adapting the light output of the projector.

The created flex codes are only visible in Projector Toolset and the Projector Management Suite by the projector owner. To make these visible he will need his license for this typical projector.

13.2 Cleaning the lens

Barco M4K15 - Cleaning the lens - 1

To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces follow the cleaning procedure as described here precisely.

Required tools

  • Compressed air
  • Clean micro fiber lens cleaning cloth (e.g. Toraysee® cloth(s))
  • Clean cotton cloth

- Lens cleaner (e.g. ZEISS lens cleaner, Purosol™ or other water based lens cleaner products)

How to clean the lens?

  1. Blow off dust with clean compressed air (or pressurized air) cans
  2. Clean with lens cleaner together with a clean lens cleaning cloth to remove the dust and contamination. Use big wipes in one single direction.

Barco M4K15 - How to clean the lens? - 1

Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

  1. Use a dry lens cleaning cloth to remove left liquid or stripes. Polish with small circles.

  2. If there are still fingerprints on the surface, wipe them off with lens cleaner together with a clean lens cleaning cloth. Polish again with a dry one.

Barco M4K15 - How to clean the lens? - 2

If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

13.3 Cleaning the exterior of the projector

How to clean the exterior of the projector?

  1. Switch off the projector and unplug the projector from the mains power net.
  2. Clean the housing of the projector with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.

13.4 Cleaning / replace the air filters

About the air filters

There are three air filters in the projector; at the front, at the top and on the right side of the projector. It is not regular interval for cleaning or replace the filters, but they must be inspected regularly to avoid clogging, and by that also a possibility of increased temperature internally in the projector.

Cleaning of the filters

The top-, and side filter can be rinsed with lukewarm water and dried.

The filter in the front can be vacuum cleaned.

About the cover locks

All the covers are fastened to the projector by “easylock” tabs. The procedure below shows the technique for releasing and locking of the tabs.

Required tools

Flat screwdriver 5mm

Unlocking the covers

  1. Push down the inner side of the easylock with a screwdriver.

Glossary

Default Gateway

A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

DHCP

Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

DMX

DMX-512 Lighting protocol over RS-485 interface. Carries information of 512 channels from a lighting controller to lighting devices. Standardized by USITT.

HD

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

IP

Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Latency

The total time from the first pixel is coming in on an input source, until the first light representing that pixel is visible on the screen. This includes the transport delay. The value is normally given in milliseconds.

MAC address

Media Access Control address. Unique hardware number, used in combination with the IP-address to connect to the network (LAN or WAN).

RS232

An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the communication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-SUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical '0' is > + 3V, Logical '1' is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition zone.

RS422

An EIA serial digital interface standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of balanced (differential) voltage, digital interface circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than RS-232. This signal governs the asynchronous transmission of computer data at speeds of up to 920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port standard for Macintosh computers. When the difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical '0'. When the difference is > +0.2V that equals to a logical '1'.

Subnet mask

A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.

Transport latency

The added delay in the image processing chain. The value is the number of lines relative to the output resolution.
