Frequently Asked Questions - F70-4K8 Barco

How do I replace the lens on the Barco F70-4K8?

First, activate the projector shutter using the keypad or remote. Then, slide the lens release lever to the unlocked position (far left). Remove the old lens. Align the new lens with the red marking on the bayonet facing upward, insert it into the mount, and slide the lever to the locked position (far right). Verify it is secure before deactivating the shutter.

How should I clean the projector?

Unplug the projector before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the lenses. For the cabinet, use a damp cloth with mild detergent. Never use strong solvents like thinner or benzine. Ensure no liquid enters the vents.

What is the hazard distance for this projector?

The hazard distance depends on the lens installed. For lenses with throw ratio greater than 4.7, the projector may become RG3. Refer to the hazard distance graph in the user manual (Chapter 1.6). Typically, for TR=0.5, HD=0.15m; for TR=7.5, HD=0.68m.

How do I set up warping for a multi-projector installation?

Access the Installation menu in the OSD. Enable Warping and select the appropriate screen size. Use the 4-corner adjustment to align edges, then apply Bow correction if needed. Save the configuration to a warp file for recall.

How can I update the firmware on my projector?

Download the latest firmware from the Barco support website. Transfer the file to a USB drive and insert it into the USB port. Navigate to System Settings > Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions. Do not power off during the process.

What 3D formats are supported?

The projector supports active 3D via DisplayPort, HDMI, and SDI inputs at 120 Hz. It also supports frame packing, side-by-side, and top-bottom formats. Use the 3D menu to enable the appropriate mode.

How do I use a wired remote connection?

Connect the stereo jack on the remote to the RC connector on the projector's rear panel. Set the broadcast address to 'Generic IR (0)' in the Communication settings. The wired connection disables IR to prevent interference.

What is the CLO feature and how do I use it?

CLO (Constant Light Output) maintains stable brightness over time by compensating for laser degradation. Enable it in the Installation menu. You must calibrate the light sensor and set a setpoint. The projector will automatically adjust power to maintain the target brightness.

How do I calibrate the lens after replacement?

After installing a new lens, go to System Settings > Lens Calibration. Follow the on-screen prompts to auto-calibrate zoom, focus, and shift. This ensures accurate lens detection and motor positioning.

What is the difference between FLD and FLD+ lenses?

FLD lenses are designed for WUXGA and 1080p projectors, while FLD+ lenses are optimized for WQXGA and 4K projectors. FLD+ lenses offer higher resolution and better optical performance for 4K content. They also have motorized iris and wider zoom ranges.

To prevent fire hazard

- Barco 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 in the exhaust area must be not less than 100 cm (40"). The exclusion zone on the intake area must not be less than 50 cm (20").

- Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the projector!

1.3 Projector Hazard Distances

For F90 series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.

This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 3.15 is installed.

Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.

Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.

No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.

Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure within the hazard distance.

See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.

For F70 Series: WARNING. This may be a RG3 laser Product, dependent on which lens used.

This projector may become Risk Group 3 (RG3) when an interchangeable lens with throw ratio greater than 4.7 is installed.

Refer to the product manual for the lens list and throw ratio before operation.

Do not look directly in to the beam from the projector lens.

No direct eye exposure to the beam is permitted.

Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard distance or install the product at a height that will prevent eye exposure within the hazard distance.

See table below for a definition of hazardous distances versus the throw ratio of the lens.

1.4 High Brightness Precautions

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD (Hazard Distance).

The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See next chapter "HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 8.

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors) 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 the 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 (SH) lateral separation from any place where such persons are permitted to be. In non-cinema 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 6.6.5.

The end 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, 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 non-cinema 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. For example, a sufficiently large separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

For applications installed in the USA market the above limits for cinema like environments do not apply. The relevant minimum separation height is 2.5m (8,2 ft) by the FDA CDRH. Non cinema like environments require 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) separation height and 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) separation width for areas where restrained behavior is to be expected. All other areas require 3.0 (9.9 ft) separation height.

B Top View
RA Restricted Area
PR Projector

TH Theater
RZ Restriction Zone in the theater
SH Separation Height
SW Separation Width

Regarding the SH Distance: For Cinema applications, the distance must be >2m. For Concert applications, the distance must be >3m.

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 1-2 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 1-2.

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

Image 1-2

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 [e-mail].

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 Hazard Distance for fully closed projection system

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 1-3 two areas should be considered: the restricted enclosed projection area (RA) and the observation area (TH).

Image 1–3
RA Restricted Access location (Enclosed projection area)
PR Projector.
TH Theater (observation area).
RZ Restriction Zone
PD Projection Distan
SW Separation Width. Must be minimum 1 meter.

Restriction zone (RZ) based on the HD continued.

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

• HD as discussed in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6, relevant for intrabeam exposure.
• HDreflection: the distance that has to be kept restrictive related to the reflected light from the rear projection screen.
• HDdiffuse : the relevant distance to be considered while observing the defuse surface of the rear projection screen.

As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 6, it is mandatory to create a restricted zone within the beam areas closer than any NOHD. 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 (HDreflection); also taking into account a 1 meter lateral separation.

The HDreflection 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 graphs in chapter "HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 8.

HDreflection = 25% (HD - PD)

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

1.6 HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)

TR (Throw Ratio)

The ratio of the distance to the screen (throw) to the screen width.

HD versus Throw Ratio

When replacing batteries, the broadcast address of the RCU will be reset to its default value '0'.

CAUTION: Replace with the correct battery type. Use two AA size batteries

2.9.2 Remote control, protocol setup

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.

Getting to know the projector.

Which protocol to use

• The NEC protocol have to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: Loki, Balder, F40, F70, F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, UDM and more.
  • The RC5 protocol have to be use all other Barco projectors: HDX W, HDF W, HDQ 2K, ...

How to set

1. Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see "Remote control, battery installation", page 32.

2. Place the switch in the NEC position.

Image 2-4

Remark with RC5 protocol

Not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the legacy Barco RCU. Button pairs SHUTTER open/close and POWER on/off emit the same code (per pair) when in RC5 mode, because the legacy RCU's only had 1 button for Shutter and 1 button for Standby.

The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 Image 2–5). 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".

2.9.5 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
- Red + Green + Blue
• etc

After powering up, the colors will always revert back to full RGB.

2.9.6 Enable / Disable Remote Control

About

This function is for disabling the IR sensors for the remote control. Either front or rear, or both.

Select the menu path Settings/Communication/IR control

Image 2-6

When all sensors are turned off, the projector will not receive any signals from the remote control. To enable the sensors again, use the keypad on the projector.

Select which sensors to be disabled.

Enter the Apply button to confirm the action

2.9.7 Wired RC connection

About

The remote control can also be directly wired to the projector from the stereo jack connector on the remote, (See "Functionality overview", page 35), to the RC connector on the back panel of the projector. (See section "Connector Panel")

In this mode, the projector will not be affected by signals from other non-wired remote controls.

When using wired remote control, the broadcast address must be set to "Generic ID (0)". See the menu in "Enable / Disable Remote Control", page 36.

It is not possible to program the remote control in wired mode. (Directly connected, no sense in programming).

2.10 Projector Address

Projector address

Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Broadcast address

Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that broadcast address.

2.10.1 Controlling the projector

Why a projector address?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefore each projector has its own address.

Set up an individual Projector Address

The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.

Projector controlling

When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:

• with the RCU: only for addresses between 1 and 31.

Broadcast Address

Every projector has a broadcast (common) address '0' or '1'. The default address is '0'.

The choice between '0' and '1' can be selected in the GUI: "System Settings" → "Communication" → "IR Control".

Placing new batteries in the remote control or plugging the remote to a projector via a cable will automatically reset the address back to its default value '0'.

3.3 Replace a lens

CAUTION: When installing an EN76 lens, an iris calibration must be performed, see "Lens calibration", page 47

Lens lever

The F70 lens mount and lens lever is designed to prevent damage to the lens board while providing an easy and stable lens change procedure.

The lens lever, located at the bottom of the lens mount, slides between two positions, far left (default position — unlocked) and far right (locked).

Always activate the projector shutter before attempting to remove or install a lens.

To do this, press the shutter button on the keypad, or shutter Close on the remote, to activate the shutter. The keypad button will illuminate red when the shutter is activated.

Press the shutter button again, or shutter Open on the remote, to deactivate the shutter and resume normal operation. The keypad button will illuminate white when the shutter is deactivated.

When changing from a lens with motorized Iris, zoom and focus positioning functionality, to a lens without this functionality (e.g. from a EN 63 to a EN42 lens), it is recommended to power down, and pull the AC cord. This is because the memory of the iris position will not be reset, but will show the position in LCD or OSD for the lens that was removed. When rebooting the projector, the memory will be reset.

The reverse scenario will happen when changing from a lens with no motorized positioning support, to a lens with motorized positioning support. The iris position will not be showed with a correct value. The functionality is still present, but the displayed value is not correct.

3.8 Mounting a safety cable to the FLDX lens (0.38:1) UST lens

When to use the safety cable

While it is strongly recommended to use the specifically designed mounting support for this lens in combination with this lens, it is not mandatory.

When mounting the UST lens in a projector without using the mounting support (not recommended), it is mandatory to use the safety cable set provided by Barco instead. Failing to use either the correct type of safety cable or the mounting support may damage the lens and/or projector, and can also cause serious injury to persons.

How to prepare the lens with the safety cable

1. Stick 3 to 4 clips on the surface of the lens body (1).

2. Snap the first loop end of the safety cable into one of the clips.

Image 3-33

1. Slide the rest of the cable around the lens. Click the cable into every clip it passes in the loop.

2. Slide the cable through the loop end at the beginning of the cable (2).

3. Install an U-bolt on the lens holder with the open ends oriented outwards (3). Make sure that both a part of the loop end and the outgoing part of the safety cable are placed in the enclosure.

4. Close the U-bolt and tighten it.

Note: Make sure the safety cable is tightened around the lens before tightening the U-bolt nuts.

1. Place the shackle through the free loop end of the safety cable.

2. Mount the lens in the projector.

3. Secure the safety cable around the truss and secure the shackle by turning the safety ring of the shackle over the open end.

To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be grounded.

In no event shall this projector be operated without an adequate cabinet ground connection.

The AC supply must be installed by a qualified electrician in conformance to local codes. Hardware, wire sizes and conduit types must comply with local codes.

Ventilation

The free space necessary between the air intake and exhaust are shown below.

Image 4-1

4.3 Initial inspection

General

Each projector is inspected and rigorously tested at our production facility to ensure that it is free from any mechanical or electrical defects.

Upon receipt of the projector, we recommend that customers inspect the projector for any signs of damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found, file a claim with the shipping carrier immediately. Notify the Barco Sales and Service office, or your preferred Barco agent, of the damage as soon as possible.

Box Contents

Your projector box should contain the following:

• Projector unit
• Power cord. (Not all power cords are supplied, see note below).
• Quick start guide
• Safety manual
• Remote Control

If the power cord for your region is not supplied, ensure that the power cord that will be used is according to the regulations for your region. The power cord must be of 3 lead type, where one of the leads is ground. Se also the Safety and Environment Information, chapter 1.2 in this document.

The projector lens is delivered in a separate box.

4.4 Positioning the projector

CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user. The Projector are heavy, and can cause severe damage and injuries if falling.

General guidelines

Proper positioning of the projector lessens the overall picture setup time, and ensures a better image with fewer artifacts.

Focus and sharpness of the image can be adversely affected if the lens axis is not fully perpendicular to the projection surface.

Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced image quality as well as loss of control information such as EDID (Extended Display Information Data).

The following guidelines can help you determine the best physical location for the projector.

• Only install the projector on a sturdy flat surface, or in an approved rigging frame.
• Do not install the projector in a thoroughfare or another area where it is at risk of being pushed or jostled.
• Allow sufficient free space around the projector for ventilation and exhaust, as described in section 4.2
• Use the throw ratio of the installed lens as a guideline for the projector's physical distance from the screen.

- Wherever possible, the projector lens surface should be positioned so that it is perfectly perpendicular to the center of the screen.

Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.

- Minimize the source cable length as much as possible.

In general HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are long-haul interfaces and suitable for bespoke installations using relatively long cables.

DP, HDMI and DVI are short-haul interfaces using pre-assembled cables with limited cable lengths.

- Limit the use of power cable extensions wherever possible. Where physical limitations necessitate their use, make sure that the extension cord has adequate surge protection and meets all electrical requirements of the connection.

- Keep the projector away from equipment that emits electromagnetic energy for example, motors, transformers and elevators.

4.5 Mounting the projector, general considerations

Mounting safety

When mounting a projector in a rig, always use an interface plate (between the projector and the mount) that has provision for a safety wire or another safety mechanism, to ensure that the projector does not fall down should the interface plate come loose from the mount.

Always screw the interface plate securely to the projector body while the projector is on the ground (i.e. cannot fall down). Then attach proper safety wire between the interface plate and the rig before mounting the projector in the rig

Using 3rd party mounting equipment

The projector has features for mounting into various system environments using 3rd party mounts.

The feet can be removed, and the threads can be used as anchor points.

Item Thread dimension		Max Hole Depth Application
Removable feet M12	18mm	Anhorpoint /	ceiling / rig mount

In addition, four mounting inserts are located on the bottom of projector. See "Projector safe attachment points", page 66

Where possible, the projector lens must be positioned exactly perpendicular to the center of the screen. Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than physical angling, to correct any off-center positioning.

CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be sufficient to prevent it from accidental or involuntary movement. Proper securing of the projector is the responsibility of the installer and user.

CAUTION: Always use a Rigging Frame when the projector shall be mounted in other ways than on the feet, on a flat surface.

The threaded hole in the lower back end of the projector is NOT suitable for lifting or other heavy operations. Only for adjustment purposes.

Installation and use of the Rigging Frame are described in document R5906768 Multifunctional Frame — Installation Manual.

WARNING: Maximum tensile load for each of the anchor points is 62,5 kg. This must be a major consideration when designing the brackets or other arrangements for fixation of the projector.

WARNING: A minimum of 4 anchor points must be used to secure the projector properly. It is strongly recommended to use fixation points with as long mutually spacing as possible, on order to increase mechanical stability of the installation.

Mounting on a flat surface

1. Position the projector at the desired location.
2. Power up the projector.
3. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen.
4. Adjust the projector legs until the projected hatch pattern is a level and perfect rectangle.

Adjustable feet

Twisting the adjustable feet in either direction, left or right, allows you to fine-adjust the projector position for precise vertical mechanical alignment.

Image 4-2

Mounting to a ceiling

1. Install the projector in to an approved rigging frame.

2. Install the rigging frame to the desired location.

3. Power up the projector.

4. Go to Main Menu / Installation / Orientation and select the correct orientation for your setup.

5. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns and select an internal hatch pattern to display on the screen.

6. Adjust the position (height and angle) of the rigging frame until the projected hatch pattern is a level and perfect rectangle.

If applied in a motion rig, care must be taken to stay within the environmental specifications for vibration and shock. It may also be necessary to use additional, custom means to stabilize the projection lens to make sure that the projected image remains in position and properly focused.

4.6 Projector safe attachment points

About

Due to use of a Rigging Frame or other equipment, the projector has some defines anchor points that shall be used. See the illustration below.

Note that there is only this 4 selected attachment points, in addition to the mounting holes for the feet that is approved as anchor points for the unit.

4.7 Throw distance

Calculate the installation throw distance

Throw is the distance (D) measured from your projector lens to the screen. To calculate the throw distance for an installation, you will need two pieces of data: the selected lens throw ratio (L) and the horizontal width (W) of the screen. For example, if the screen width (W) is 2.4 meters and the projector lens has a throw ratio (L) of 0.99:1, then the throw distance (D) will be 2.38 meters.

Calculation: 2.4 x 0.99 = 2.38

The following graphs illustrate the image size (W) and projection distance (D) for each of the projector lenses.

Tolerances are typically +/- 5% due to optical (lens) variation.

4.8 Scheimpflug (Boresight) introduction

What is Scheimpflug?

The lens holder has to be adjusted so that the “sharp focus plane” of the projected image falls together with the plane of the screen (Fp1→Fp2). This is achieved by changing the distance between the DMD plane and the lens plane (Lp1→Lp2). The closer the lens plane comes to the DMD plane the further the sharp focus plane will be. It can occur that you won’t be able to get a complete focused image on the screen due to a tilt swing) of the lens plane with respect to the DMD plane. This is also known as Scheimpflug's law. To solve this the lens plane must be placed parallel with the DMD plane. This can be achieved by turning the lens holder to remove the tilt (or swing) between lens plane and DMD plane (Lp3→Lp4).

Image 4–7 Scheimpflug principle

Scheimpflug principle

The "plane of sharp focus" can be changed so that any plane can be brought into sharp focus. When the DMD plane and lens plane are parallel, the plane of sharp focus will also be parallel to these two planes. If, however, the lens plane is tilted with respect to the DMD plane, the plane of sharp focus will also be tilted according to geometrical and optical properties. The DMD plane, the principal lens plane and the sharp focus plane will intersect in a line below the projector for downward lens tilt.

Scheimpflug adjustment points

Scheimpflug adjustment points are located on the lens mount. The projector has three (3) set screws and three (3) adjustment screws.

Scheimpflug correction procedures may only be carried out by suitably trained and experienced technicians.

A Scheimpflug correction should only be applied when the overall focus of the projected image is not equally sharp (for example, if the projector is NOT in parallel with the screen or as a result of a previously misaligned Scheimpflug). Be aware that the consequence of applying Scheimpflug correction upon a screen not in parallel with the projector is that the projected image differs from the rectangle shaped image. In other words "distortion" of the projected image occurs. Masking will be required to solve the distortion.

The disadvantage of Masking is loss of content. Therefore it is strongly recommended to place the projector in parallel with the projection screen and use the SHIFT functionality of the Lens Holder to match the projected image with the projection screen. If the SHIFT range is not sufficient then the projector can be tilted and Scheimpflug can be applied.

CAUTION: A Scheimpflug adjustment should only be carried out by properly qualified and experienced projection specialists. A poor Scheimpflug adjustment may result in an extremely degraded image and will require factory—servicing to the projector.

4.9 Scheimpflug adjustment procedure

CAUTION: A Scheimpflug adjustment should only be carried out by properly qualified and experienced projection specialists. A poor Scheimpflug adjustment may result in an extremely degraded image and will require factory—servicing to the projector.

Preparation

1. Prepare the test area. Barco recommends a projector-screen according to the table "Lens distance" above to be used for all Scheimpflug adjustments.

Verify that the throw ratio of the installed lens matches the requirements of the installation area (projection distance and screen size).

1. Check that the lens is correctly installed, and lens shift is in centre position.
2. If the installed lens has Iris control, open the Iris all the way up.
3. Open the focus ring all the way up.
4. Go to Main Menu / Test Patterns / Full Screen and select to display the Focus test pattern.
5. Zoom the lens to its widest opening (maximum image size on the screen).

Apply a Scheimpflug correction

1. Loosen the three set screws (reference 1b, 2b, 3b). Use a size 6 hex key to do this.

Image 4-9

1. Adjust the left side Scheimpflug adjustment screw (reference 1 in the next figure) until the test image in the top left side of the screen is in focus. Use a size 4 hex key to do this.

Note: This process may cause the other areas of the image to slide out of focus. This is totally normal.

The projector on screen display (OSD) is the primary user interface (UI). From here, you can review and adjust all projector and display settings.

The OSD interface uses tabs to display the main menu. Topics are then further sorted and displayed by function: main (topic) — sub (function) — sub (function).

There are seven main menu tabs: Source, Image, Installation, Profiles, Settings, Test pattern and Status.

The OSD can be disabled by pressing the OSD on/off button.

In order to show the OSD, the OSD On/Off button must be disabled. (White backlight on the button). When the button have blue illumination, the OSD will not appear, and the display information are only visible on the LCD Display. Only Critical warnings will be displayed.

User access levels

The projector's software platform uses access levels to define what each user can do.

There are two user access levels: Standard User and Power User. In addition, there is a Service user access for certified Service personnel.

A standard user has access to all projector functionality and OSD menu items. A power user has, in addition to access to all projector functionality and OSD menu items, access to a number of advanced functions. Access to power user features is password-protected. Contact your projector supplier for more information.

Navigation

You can navigate the OSD using the local keypad or the remote control.

Press the MENU button to display the OSD. (The OSD must be enabled, press OSD button to enable.)

Dual Input.

For extended flexibility to connect high resolution sources with a pixel clock over 330 MHz, the projector is supporting a dual input mode. In this mode, the left and the right half of the image can be connected to the DVI-1 and DVI-2 respectively, or DP1 and DP2.

To enable this mode, select the source that fits in the Menu/Source

Dual input modes

There are four ways to connect dual input.

• Dual Displayport Columns
• Dual Displayport Sequential
- Dual DVI Columns
- Dual DVI Sequential

For Images to be displayed in this mode, the resolution must be the same on both channels

Signal source setup.

When using dual inputs, it is important that the signal sources are set up correctly, with the correct resolution. Please refer to the manual for the source itself (PC, Graphic driver card..) in order to obtain a correct setup. If the setup is wrong, no picture will be visible in dual mode.

The resolution for each dual column channel can be up to 1920x2400 pixels.

The resolution for each dual sequential channel can be up to 2560x1600 pixels. (4K)

Change the EDID for each channel to the correct value. See chapter "Connector Settings" for EDID setup.

7.5 Gamma adjustment

About gamma correction.

Gamma compensation, or gamma correction, is a way of adjusting the signal input to light output characteristics of a display or projector in order to suit the eye's sensitivity to different light levels and to compensate for non-linearities in displays. Without gamma compensation, images may look too dark or too bright, lack detail or depth. By adjusting the amount of gamma compensation changes, you change only the perceived brightness levels.

Different types of displays have different gamma factors that need to be corrected in order to look and be perceived the same. For example, an MS Windows generated image displayed on a CRT monitor will require a gamma correction value of about 2.5 to avoid color bleaching and burning.

The gamma curve correction formula is based on output level input level gamma.

How to adjust

1. Enter the Image menu, and select Gamma.

Image 7-9

1. Use the arrow keys to select the most suitable gamma type.

2. Select the gamma slider and tune the gamma value.

Note: The Gamma slider in the Gamma menu will be disabled when DICOM, SIM or SRGB values is selected.

7.8.6 Displaying HDR content— Perceptual Quantizer (PQ)

About 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/m ^2 and can be used with the Rec. 2020 color space.

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.

How to set the PQ?

1. In the main menu, select Image / Advanced settings / HDR

Image 7–11

The HDR menu is displayed.

Image 7-12

1. Select the desired Unit (nits or foot-lambert).
2. Enter the Screen luminance (either 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.

7.8.7 HDR Status.

About HDR status

When an active source is HDR, an icon is visible in the status menu.

The HDR icon will also be visible in the "Source signal popup" icon in the lower right corner on the screen.

For best results, lens adjustments should be done in the following order: zoom, focus and then iris (where applicable).

8.1.2 Shift

General

The lenses can be shifted vertically and horizontally to facilitate precise image positioning in single and multiple projector systems. The projector allows for horizontal and vertical shift in both directions. Always place the projector perpendicular to the screen, and use the lens shift to align the picture.

Use the Remote control or the keypad on the Projector to adjust the lens shift mechanism.

Use the left, right, up and down navigational arrows to adjust the lens shift in four directions. This feature moves the picture optically within the shift range of the lens optics.

Press the right key to enable shift, and use the arrow keys on the remote control, or the keypad to move the picture in vertical and horizontal directions.

If not possible to align the projector perpendicular to the screen, due to environment of other, see chapter "Warp - 4 Corners adjustment", page 117

Image 8-2

When EN 68 lens is installed in the projector, there are some limitations in the lens shift range, in order to avoid damage to the lens.

This limitation will be identified as an reduction in the output light from the projector when the shift position exceeds the defined range. The output light will then be reduced to 20% of max.

8.1.3 Shift to center

8.3 Scaling modes

General

For the modes Fill Screen and Stretch, the screen size must be defined, see chapter "Warping Screen Size".

The purpose of the scaling mode is to adapt the image on the screen in an optimal way, based on the desired rendering. The examples below shows a screen format of 2,35:1, and a DMD format 16:10. (WQXGA).

The scaling mode function has four different presets:

• Fill aspect
  • 1:1
• Fill Screen
• Stretch.

The illustrations below shows the resolution for WQXGA, and a screen aspect ratio of 2,35:1 (Cinemascope format. But the principle is the same also for other resolutions and screen sizes.(4K, WUXGA / 16:10, 16:9..)

Mode Fill aspect

This mode utilizes as much as possible of the native size of the DMD, and keeps the aspect ratio.

8.4 Warping

8.4.1 About warping

About

Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen, typically by non perpendicular alignment of the projector versus the screen. The image will then typically occur as shown in Image 8-1.

While an image can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesn't affect the colors.

8.4.3 Warping - Screen size

About (Warp) Screen Size adjustment

If the used screen 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 the 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 of image left to 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.

8.4.6 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.

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.

How to activate an uploaded Warp grid?

1. In the main menu, select Installation → Warp.

8.4.7 Warping - Latency control in a multi projector setup

Transport latency

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

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.

Image 8-26 Example of the Transport delay in the status menu

1. Identify the projector with the longest delay.

2. For each projector in the setup, select Installation → Warp in the main menu.

Image 8-27 Installation menu, Warp

2. Click Apply to confirm the value.
3. Repeat this process for every projector in the setup.

8.5 Blending

8.5.1 Introduction to blend functions

When to use blend functions

When two projectors are used together to make one picture on the screen, the blend function must be activated. This blend function ensures a seamless transition of the images between the two projectors.

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.

The blend function can be enabled for both pictures over/under, and pictures side by side.

The blend will not be affected by the projector's warp.

Image 8-1

The Mask adjustments.

The offset adjustments are used to cut the image on each side. Normally used to hide parts of the picture that shall not be shown on the screen. An example can be: If the source is a pc, you may want to hide the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

8.5.2 Set up the system

How to set up the system

In this chapter, the setup procedure for the projectors is explained, but a setup procedure must also be performed for the picture source.

In order to obtain a satisfying result for the Blend function, the overlap / Blend 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 blend width setup for the projector. That means that if the overlap zone for the source is set to 500 pixels, the width of the blend zone 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.

Setup the source to a blend which corresponds with the preset overlap on the screen. There are different ways to do this, depending on the source. Refer to the source unit's manual for this issue.

Adjust the Blend for the projectors as described below.

8.5.3 Blend mask setup procedure

Blend mask introduction

The blend mask function blends out an area on the outer edges in the picture. This function is applicable when e.g. icons in the toolbar in an image from a pc is to be projected.

The blend mask area will be defined in the blend mask setup process.

Blend mask adjustment procedure

1. Enter the menu Installation/Blend/Blend mask

Image 8-2

1. By the arrow keys, place the display cursor on respectively the "Enable" zone and the "Show Lines" zone and activate them by pressing enter.
2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the position that must be masked. and press enter.
3. Adjust the mask area (width) by pressing the arrow keys on the remote control. By pressing the key arrow constantly, the blend value will increase rapidly. The numeric value of the width is shown on both the LCD screen and the OSD. (The number entered represent the blend width expressed in number of pixels).

4. Use the enter key to move the cursor to the next position that has to be masked.

5. Adjust the value by using the arrow keys. (See note below).

6. Repeat step 4 and 5 to adjust the rest of the blending zones.
7. Exit the menu by using the exit button on the remote control.

8.5.4 Basic blend setup procedure

Basic blend adjustment procedure

2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the position that must be blended. and press enter.
3. Adjust the width value by using the arrow keys (See note below), one step at a time. By pressing the key arrow constantly, the blend value will increase rapidly. The numeric value of the width is shown on both the LCD screen and the OSD. (The number entered represent the blend width expressed in number of pixels).
4. Use the enter key to move the cursor to the next position that has to be blended.
5. Adjust the value by using the arrow keys. (See note below).
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 to adjust the rest of the blending zones.
7. Exit the menu by using the exit button on the remote control.

For horizontal blending, use the left/right arrow keys to adjust. For vertical blending, use the up/down arrow keys to adjust.

Adjustment procedure in over / under configuration.

For Blend adjustments in over / under configuration, the procedure is the same as for side by side, but use the Top and Bottom height instead, and perform a similar procedure.

Use the numeric keys instead of the arrow key to set the values.

Instead of adjusting the lines by the arrow keys, the value can also be typed directly using the numeric keys on the remote control.

To remove or undo the entered numbers, use the * key on the remote control.

8.5.5 Black level setup procedure

Black level introduction

The Purpose of the black level adjustment is to adjust the black levels in the non overlapped areas with the black level in the overlapped areas (Blend Zone).

This is a necessary function, due to the fact that the black level will be brighter in the blend zones, since multiple projectors will add light in these zones.

The width of the black level area shall ideally be slightly larger than the width of the blend zone in order to also compensate for the “sea of mirrors” phenomenon.

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

Picture Left Picture RightBlend Zone

2. Enable the "Black level" and "Show lines" buttons. A line that indicates the blend zones will be visible on the screen when "Show lines" is enabled.

Image 8-5

1. Move the cursor to the side where the overlapped area occurs. (Left/right/top/bottom.) For the left projector, this will typically be the right side in the menu as an example.

2. Press enter, and adjust the value with the arrow keys. The icon shown below will appear on the OSD when the side is selected. The value shall typically be the same as for the basic blend line. (Same numeric value).

Image 8-6

1. When the value is ok, press enter on the remote control, and the icon on the OSD will jump to the next side. Adjust, and repeat for all sides.

2. When all sides are completed, press "Back" button on the remote control.

3. Move the cursor to "Level", press enter and adjust this level until the black level equals the level in the blend zone.

Note: In addition to the black level itself, it is also possible to adjust the color saturation in order to align the projectors in the layout, see procedure "Adjusting the color level" below.

1. Repeat the same procedure for the other projector,

2. Disable the "Show lines" when the Black level adjustment is completed.

8.5.6 Color level adjustment procedure

Color level introduction

When using several projectors in a complete setup, there will always be a slightly difference in the color saturation between the projectors. This is not visible

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).

Description

The Advanced Blend Function is intended for blending in complex shapes in multiprojector installations.

Due to the complexity, a separate manual has been prepared for this subject, and can only be performed by an authorized installer. There is no user interface for this function.

8.6 CLO feature

8.6.1 Introduction

Introduction

The CLO (Constant Light Output) is a Barco Pulse software feature for maintaining a stable light output from the projector over time, by automatically adjusting the light source. The CLO feature utilizes a light sensor placed internally in the projectors light path.

8.6.2 Placement of the light sensor

Placement of the light sensor

The light sensor is placed after the illumination iris. This means that the CLO feature will be impacted by the illumination iris position. The lens iris, due to its placement in the lens outside the projector, does not impact the light sensor, and thus neither the CLO. Changing the lens iris will have an impact on the light output of the projector for which the CLO cannot compensate.

8.6.3 Using the CLO features

8.6.3.1 CLO feature in the OSD, Prospector and API

• illumination.clo.engage
• Enables the CLO and creates a new set-point for the CLO

- illumination.clo.enable

- Enable the CLO: "value": true

- Disable the CLO: "value":false

- This command enables the CLO while keeping the previous set-point for the CLO

8.6.3.2 Notifications applicable for the CLO feature

Info

• L8000b Illumination clo mode {0}
- Modes: Enabled or Disabled
• L8000c Illumination CLO target set to 0
- Value refers to the set-point of the CLO

Warning

• L8000a Illumination clo unable to maintain the desired light output
- Explanation: The light source power is at its maximum and can no longer maintain the desired light output
• L8000d Illumination cli light measuring failed
- Explanation: The CLO failed while trying to measure the light on the light sensor, either when enabling the CLO or during CLO operation

8.6.3.3 Example for using the CLO feature for maintaining brightness over time Maintaining the brightness

• Adjust lightsource power to desired setting, e.g. 80%
• Enable the CLO
  • The projector will maintain the brightness at 80%

The CLO adjusts the power to the light source to maintain the light output over time. As there is a degradation over time in both optical components and light source, the time frame the CLO can maintain the light output is dependent on how much initial headroom is available. I.e. if the power is set to 90%, the initial headroom will be more quickly spent by the degradation and the time frame for which the CLO can keep the desired brightness will be lower than for e.g. starting at 80%. See example below.

Image 8-3 The time scale is only used as an example and does not represent real-life data.

The time scale is only used as an example and does not represent real-life data.

8.6.4 CLO scale

8.6.4.1 CLO scale

CLO scale

The CLO scale feature enables linear dimming. The light source power of the projector is not linear, so adjusting it to e.g. 50% could result in a different light output than the desired 50% of the initial light output. The lack of linearity could result in it deviating up to 5% from the desired target. The CLO scale ensures that the dimming scale is linear, meaning that the desired output level of the light source will be the same as the setting in the projector.

Having the light source power dimming linear also enables it to be used to set the same power value to multiple projectors.

The same prerequisites apply for this feature regarding the degradation of the light source and the initial set-point chosen for the light source power.

The CLO scale can be set and / or monitored using the property:

- illumination.clo.scale

CLO, typical user cases

To linearly dim the projectors and / or using the same dim value on all projectors in a multi-channel configuration when e.g. going from a day scene to a night scene.

8.6.4.2 Example: CLO scale with one projector

Example: CLO scale with one projector

• Light output: 5000lm.
- Adjust the light output from the projector to 80% .
The projector now has a maximum light output of 4000 lm
- Enable CLO scale
• Light output at different CLO scale settings
- 100: 4000 lm
- 75: 3750 lm
- 50: 2000 lm

8.6.4.3 Example: CLO scale with 3 projectors

Example: CLO with 3 projectors

• Light output:
• Projector 1: 5000 lm
• Projector 2: 4900 lm
• Projector 3: 4800 lm

- Match the light output of the projectors using the standard light source power feature.

- Using 80% of Projector 3 in this example, all projectors now have a light output of 3840 lm

- Enable CLO.

- The CLO scale can now be used to set the light output to the same value on all projectors as the CLO has been enabled on the same actual light output from all 3 projectors.

- Note that the CLO scale value must be sent separately to all 3 projectors.

8.6.5 CLO stable signal

Signal stability

The light sensor, providing the CLO feature with data, requires time to stabilize when changing the light source power in large steps using the CLO scale, e. g. from 80% to 20% when going from a day scene to a night scene. This could cause an issue if the projector is used for training before the light output has stabilized.

When the CLO is enabled, a signal called has stabilized will be available. The signal tells the user if the CLO is stable or is still in a state of change, trying to obtain a stable light output.

The CLO has stabilized signal only works when actively changing the CLO scale.

Rationale:

The CLO will change the light source power in small steps given the criteria: "average of measurements the last 10 seconds shall not differ more than 0.75% from the set-point". This to maintain the desired light output. From a user perspective no interaction has been made with the projector, so a change to the hasstabilized signal in this case would not make sense.

The functionality presented in a Given-When-Then format.

Given When	Then
CLO is enabled No adjustment to CLO scale is done		hasstabilized = true, even when internal adjustment is needed to obtain the current setpoint for the CLO
CLO is enabled CLO	scale value is being changed has stabilized = false, while adjusting CLO scale
CLO is enabled CLO	scale value has been changed	hasstabilized = true, when the CLO output has stabilized

The hasstabilized signal can be monitored using the property:

• illumination.clo.hasstabilized
- "result": true
- "result": false
- Requires power user access

8.6.6 EWMA

EWMA

This is the average of the measurements on the light sensor, used for controlling the CLO feature.

EWMA can be monitored using the property:

- illumination.clo.ewma

- "result": a value, without a defined unit

8.6.7 Setpoint

Setpoint

This feature enables the user to set the desired value directly. As no max value is given Barco recommends using the CLO scale if different output power settings are needed when using the CLO.

The setpoint can be set and/or monitored using the property:

- illumination.clo.setpoint

8.6.8 CLO (Light sensor) calibration

This process is only implemented for the F70 and F90 series projectors, valid from SW 2.2.

Light sensor calibration

The CLO is calibrated from the factory and re-calibration is not expected to be necessary. In the unlikely event that the CLO would need to be re-calibrated, please log in as a Power user in Prospector and go to Service→Light sensor calibration and follow the steps to calibrate the CLO.

8.7 IR / Night vision functionality

About

IR / Night Vision functionality is only available for the FS variant of the projector..

In combination with Night Vision Goggles (NVG), this will give a realistic rendering of the environment. This will visualize in a realistic way, night time, dusk and dawn, and limited visibility scenarios.

The IR light source has a wavelength of 740nm

How to enable IR/Night Vision.

Enter the Menu/ Installation / Illumination menu. This menu shows two sliders; one for the LED Desired power (daylight), and one for the IR LED Desired power (Night Vision). The sliders are scaled from zero – 100% power.

Image 8-1

Select the Desired power slider, and move the slider to the left by the arrow keys to nearly 0% to reduce the light intensity. (Daylight visibility). By this, the IR LED will be dominant, and the image on the screen will be visible with the Night Vision Goggles. Put on the goggles, and adjust the IR LED slider to obtain an optimal night vision rendering.

By mixing the intensity (power) of both the Desired power and the IR LED, it is also possible to simulate other visibility scenarios, such as evening / early night vision.

This two input channels have different positions of the pixelshift module. Channel 1 is displayed with module position 1, and channel 2 is displayed with position 2. The result is a 4K rendering of the displayed image.

Max frequency pr channel is 60 Hz.

Only DVI or Displayport inputs on the projector can be used for this purpose.

8.8.2 IG Pixelshift Night Vision

General

In addition to IG pixelshift for daytime environment, the IG pixelshift Night Vision (NV) also includes the functionality for running the pixel shift module when one of the input channels are used for IR content visible through NV goggles.

This also includes a function of swapping visible light / IR light between the two inputs. This switch is default set to IR channel being DVI1/DP1 and visible light being DVI2/DP2 as it is today. This can be useful to swap those two due to the fact that the input DVI1/DP1 has a lower latency than the DVI2/DP2.

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.

12.1 Setup 3D mode....168

3D setup

The projector is capable of displaying 3D images and movies in both active and passive stereo 3D input mode.

Setup of a 3D installation requires an advanced understanding of the 3D systems, both for the projector, and also for the signal source.

Regarding setup of the signal source, refer to the user manual for the specific unit.

In 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.

See instructions in this chapter to set up the projector for this feature.

Active stereo input.

One channel input. (One cable). Update frequency @ 120 Hz. Extra sync. signal must be used when DVI source is used. For Displayport source, the sync signal is present in the signalcable, but external sync can also be used when necessary.

Passive stereo input.

Use two channel input (two cables), one for each eye. Update frequency limited to 60 Hz for each channel. Dual Sequential input source (DVI or Displayport) must be used. No external sync signal required.

12.1 Setup 3D mode.

Setup 3D mode.

1. Enter the Source menu, and select the desired input source.

2. For active stereo input, select Displayport 1, DVI-1, HD BaseT or HDMI.

3. For passive stereo input, select Dual displayport sequential, or Dual DVI sequential

4. Enter the menu Installation3D setup

When in 'auto stereo' display mode, the product shall automatically switch to 'active stereo' mode and project synchronously at n times the input frequency - where n is as high as possible on the individual products.

1. Roll down in the menu and select the Auto stereo selection in the Display mode menu.

Image 12-1

1. When a HDMI 3D source is detected, it is shown in the source status that this is a 3D source.

Image 12-2

1. Enter the menu Installation/3D Setup, and select the necessary dark time. The projector detect the color wheel, and only one option is available, depending on the color wheel.

Available color wheels with their respective dark times are :

• DCI: 1600us
  • High Brightness: 1660us
  • Color: 1850us

• Run a 3D image or movie from the source.

Put on the 3D goggles, and verify by looking through the goggles with one eye at the time that only one image is visible in each eye. A double picture or a shade of the picture from the other side shall not be

observed. Repeat for both sides, and adjust the Sync Delay slider until a “clean” picture is visible in each eye.

If the 3D picture looks a bit “strange” through the 3D goggles, the solution is to swap eyes by enabling the Swap eyes button in the menu.

Note: There is also a 3D test pattern available. Go to the menu Test Patterns/Internal Select the 3DSTEREO pattern.

The test pattern menu also have a shortcut key on the remote control and the keypad.

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 Eye: You can choose to invert the stereo Sync output signal (depending on the chosen 3D emitter and glasses).
• Swap frame pair: You can choose to invert the stereo input signal (depending on the chosen source input).
• Dark time: Pre defined, dependent on the color wheel installed. See item 11.1.4 above.
• Stereo glasses: Active 3D glasses must be used.
• 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.

14.3 Filters 174

14.1 Projector lenses

General guidelines for cleaning projector lenses

Blow off dust with clean compressed air (or pressurized air cans).

Use lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth to remove the dust and contamination.

Wipe in broad strokes, in one direction only.

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

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

If there are still fingerprints on the surface, repeat with lens cleaner and a clean lens cleaning cloth, then polish again with a dry cloth.

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

14.2 Projector cabinet

WARNING: Always disconnect the projector from the mains power net before attempting to clean the projector cabinet.

General guidelines for cleaning the projector cabinet (exterior only)

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.

14.3 Filters

General info regarding Air intake and filters.

The product is shipped default without any filters and by avoiding filters, the ventilation system operates for longer periods between maintenance, since no clogging of filters means more air is allowed through the system, resulting in lower operating temperatures over time. The air intake are just protected by a mesh. This mesh has to be vacuum cleaned occasionally when needed. No specific interval for this operation, but to be performed when needed.

For more demanding surrounds both smoke and dust filters can be applied externally to the system to avoid internal fouling.

General guidelines for cleaning projector filters (external)

Remove the filter from the projector then use a vacuum to remove excess dust from the filter. Do not wet or soak the filter.

Cleaning of the projector filter should be done in a separate room to avoid dust contamination.

A.1 Introduction

This topic is only valid for the FS variant of the projector.

Introduction

In the FS-series projectors, one of the night vision modes is achieved by feeding the projector with two separate inputs, one with content for visible light (VL), and the other with content for the infrared (IR). Outside the projector, these two inputs may have the same content, achieved by a splitter or by cloning the output in the graphics adapter on the image generator (IG).

This topic describes some usage scenarios and the setup to use, to achieve the best performance. It should serve as a guide for how to set up the system or give guidance if the exact user case is not described here.

A.2 How infrared is displayed

How infrared is displayed

In night vision mode with 2 separate inputs, the projector displays the two inputs alternating every other frame. The output is displayed a double speed of the inputs, i. e. at 120Hz in case of 60Hz input. The DMD is illuminated with visible RGB light every other frame, while the IR "light" is illuminating the DMD all the time.

The display device (DMD) itself do not know whether it is displaying IR or VL. And this is causing problems when the actual image content is not carrying all 3 color components (full RGB). As an example, only the red color component is active on the input. The DMD is attempting to display this as an RGB image even if it is illuminated with IR. The result is that the DMD is active only approximately one third of the frame, thereby "wasting" a lot of the IR output power.

In Pulse release 2.1 and onwards, there is an option to create a Color Component mapping per connector input. This gives the flexibility on individual connector to connect DMD "colors" to input color channel.

A.3 Default setup

Default setup

In the default setup, the RGB components of the DMD fetches the content from the RGB component of the inputs. This mode of operation is best suited for when the VS and IR inputs both carries a full RGB image and specially the IR channel has full black/white content if displayed on a regular monitor. This is not a clone or spitted image even if the content in the example below indicates the same image on both inputs.

A.5 Cloned inputs with only green content for IR

Cloned inputs with only green content for IR

In this setup, the input is a fully saturated green and white image, well suited for the IR channel. In this setup, portion of the green image is extracted and applied to the red channel for visible light also. Note that the power of the visible light source must be dimmed to achieve the desired effect.

B.1 Introduction

Introduction

For projectors used in simulation, latency is always an important component. Barco strives to make latency as small as possible together with optimal image quality.

There are however some parameters of the installation and setup that affects latency. This white paper describes these conditions and gives guidance for how to optimize setup of the projector.

B.2 Latency

Latency

Latency is a measurement of the added time the projector needs to display an image. This is measured from when the first pixel (not v-sync) of an image arrives at the projector until the first light of the same image is being displayed by the projector. This time is measured in milliseconds. The latency is also referred to as transport delay.

Different projector settings affect latency. For example, the amount of warp applied to the image might affect latency since the projector has to wait longer for the required pixels to arrive at the input. As will be shown later, warping can in certain special settings reduce latency compared to a non-warped image.

In a multi projector setup, different projectors most often have different warp settings and thereby different latencies. To keep a full system at the same latency and in sync, each projector has the possibility to add to the latency (transport delay). In a multi-projector setup, all projectors should be set to the same latency as the projector with the highest transport delay.

B.3 DMD display device

DMD display device

Barco projectors uses a DMD device from Texas Instruments to display the image. A DMD device displays the intensity of a pixel by time multiplexing the time it is on over the frame time. If one pixel is 50% grey, it is on 50% of the time for that frame. Since we also change the color of the light during the same frame period, all the DMD mirrors (pixels) must be displayed synchronously. This is done by dividing the image into bitplanes and sending the bitplanes one by one to all the mirrors simultaneously. As a simplistic explanation, consider an 8-bit pr. pixel image. First the LSB bitplane is loaded. All the pixels that has the LSB bit set, has the corresponding DMD mirror turned on for a short time. Next, the second to last bitplane is loaded, and all the DMD mirrors where this bit is set are displayed for twice as long. This continues until the MSB (bitplane 8) is loaded and displayed.

Because of dividing the image into bitplanes, all pixels of an image must be loaded to the DMD before it can start to display any of the pixels.

B.4 Image display

Native image

Consider the following setup, where the incoming image has the same resolution as the DMD device.

Image B-1

The image is sent to the projector, pixel by pixel, line by line from top left to bottom right. For 60Hz, it takes 16.6667ms for all the pixels to arrive at the projector (disregarding blanking pixels).

Theoretically, as soon as the first pixel arrives, it can be transmitted directly to the DMD. Since incoming and output pixels follow a one-to-one relation, when the last pixel arrives it is sent to the DMD and at that time the DMD can immediately start to divide the image into bitplanes and display the image. This means that the latency never can go below 16.6667ms.

There is more processing being done to the pixels (color analysis, memory handling etc.), so in real life, latency will never be this low.

Non-native image

Image B-2

Consider this setup where the incoming image is smaller vertically than the DMD resolution. To maintain correct aspect, the image will be displayed by filling in black pixels above and below on the DMD. The DMD device needs to receive all the pixels it shall display, including the black ones.

In this case, the Pulse image processing will start to prefill the DMD with black pixels before the actual pixels arrive on the input. Then it follows a one-to-one pixel copy until the last incoming pixel has arrived. After that, the additional black pixels are transmitted until the DMD has received all the pixels for a full frame. It is not until then that the image can be displayed.

Therefore, the black pixels at the bottom of the image directly adds to latency since the image cannot be displayed until all the extra black pixels have been transmitted to the DMD.

B.5 Image positioning

Image positioning

From the discussion above, it follows that the incoming image should follow the DMD resolution as much as possible to reduce latency. If this is not possible, the image should be adjusted and positioned as close to the bottom edge (in desktop-front projection mode) of the DMD as possible to have minimum latency.

To position the image on the DMD, it's recommended that the digital image shift is used. This function shifts the image content and is done after the image has been warped. Shifting the image does not degrade pixel quality and no scaling is used for this functionality.

Another option is to use the warp settings itself, either the 4-corner coordinates of the warp mask or the warp grid calculated externally. Always adjust the warp grid to position it as close to the bottom of the image as possible.

A curious effect of this is when applying keystone warp to an image smaller than DMD resolution and the output is adjusted down as discussed above. In the following example some keystone (4-corner adjustment) is applied.

Image B-3

In this setup, the projector latency will in fact be lower than the uncorrected image. This is because the output image has fewer active lines than the incoming image. All the incoming lines are used in the warp calculations, but the resulting image consists of fewer active lines than the original. The projector can take advantage of this by preloading the DMD with black lines before the actual content. Note that for a 60Hz system, latency will never go below 16.66667ms because the DMD is displaying the image synchronously with the refresh of the incoming image.
