On repacking
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.
On illumination
In order to obtain the best quality for the projected image, it is essential that the ambient light which is allowed to fall on the screen be kept to an absolute minimum.
When installing the projector and screen, care must be taken to avoid exposure to ambient light directly on the screen. Avoid adverse illumination on the screen from direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting fixtures.
The use of controlled ambient lighting, such as incandescent spot light or a dimmer, is recommended for proper room illumination. Where possible, care should also be taken to ensure that the floors and walls of the room in which the projector is to be installed are non-reflecting, dark surfaces. Brighter surfaces will tend to reflect and diffuse the ambient light and hence reduce the contrast of the projected image on the screen.

a. hardware set up of the projector address. Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which is set with hardware DIP switches inside the projector. To change that address, contact a BARCO authorized technician. b. How to control the projector. The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255. When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with : - the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9. \- computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 0 and 255. Note : a projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of '0' regardless of what address is set in the projector itself. Address "O" is therefore a universal address. c. Using your RCU. Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU. When address 0, 'zero address' is programmed into the RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this RCU.How to display a projector address?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil. The projector's address will be displayed in a 'Text box'. This text box  disappears after a few seconds. To continue using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the same address with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9). For example, if the Adress Key displays projector address 003, then press the "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU's address to match the projector's address.How to program an address into the RCU?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil and enter the address with the digit buttons. That address can be any digit between 0 and 9. When programming '0', zero address, the RCU will control a projector regardless of the projector's address.

Static pictures are very often shown on large screen projectors, especially in process control and presentation applications. Due to the fact that the same picture information is shown for a long period in the same place, picture tubes can be damaged by 'local burn-in'. To reduce this problem, a special Orbiting circuit is available which moves the picture very slowly around a predefined screen area. The cycle time is very long to make the movement of the projected image imperceptible. The use of the orbiting kit is described in appendix A. Order number : R9827780Line Doubler Kit
BARCO's line doubler kit consists of a video decoder with a three-line adaptive Comb filter, an enhancement circuit and the line doubler itself. \- The three-line adaptive Comb filter improves color transitions and teduces noise in the video signal. - The enhancement circuit integrated in the decoder provides sharper images with clearer outlines. - The line doubler circuit reduces visible line structure by doubling the number of lines of the video image. These three circuits work in unison to produce a smoother yet sharper image which is significantly more appealing when watching video images. Order number : R9828161 ORBITING

Adjustment Blocks (memory blocks)
As the projector is digitally controlled, all geometry and convergence adjustments are stored in the projector's memory as numeric values. These numeric values are used to control digital potentiometers which in turn, control the projector. Each source connected to the projector has a unique set of adjustment data which is automatically downloaded into the projector's digital potentiometers once the source has been selected. This set of adjustment data is referred to as an "adjustment block". An adjustment table is automatically created for a source when the source is first connected to the projector and the Adjustment mode is entered. If other sources have already been connected to the projector and geometry and convergence adjustments have been performed on these sources, the projector will use Linear Digital Interpolation to create a new block for the new source. This block will provide an initial set of adjustments for the new source that have been calculated by the projector from “previous experience”. The projector's memory has the capacity to store 32 adjustment blocks. The adjustment block consists of two parts, the block header and the data representing the values for all adjustments (eg. Convergence and Geometry) in the projector for the source the block corresponds to. The block header contains the basic characteristics of the source and the projector configuration used to display the source. Block Header example of block header Block Number 01 Source Number 01 Horizontal Frequency 15.6 kHz Vertical Frequency 50 Hz Input Type video Scan Switch Configuration Front/Ceiling The data representing the various adjustments for the source follows the block header. Source numbers 90 - 99| Source numbers 90 - 99 do not correspond to physical inputs to the projector or RCVDS. They are used to assign an additional adjustment block to a source. This additional adjustment block may contain different geometry and convergence settings, sync fast/slow positions and enhanced blue on/off settings. The relationship between source numbers 0 - 9 and 90 - 99 (projector with RCVDS) or 1 - 5 and 91 - 95 (stand-alone projector) is shown in the diagram below. |
