Frequently Asked Questions - HDX-4K12 Barco

How do I power on the Barco HDX-4K12 projector?

Press the mains switch at the back of the projector to the 'I' position. The projector will start up to standby mode, with the power button blinking white. Then press the Power On button on the remote or local keypad. The lamp will ignite, and the projector will be ready. Always ensure the lamp cooling fans have stopped before unplugging.

What lenses are compatible with the HDX-4K12?

Only TLD+ zoom lenses are compatible. Available zoom ranges: 0.8-1.16:1, 1.16-1.5:1, 1.5-2.0:1, 2.0-2.8:1, 2.8-4.5:1, 4.5-7.5:1, and 7.5-11.5:1. Using other lenses can damage the internal actuator.

How to install a lens on the HDX-4K12?

Remove the lens caps and foam. Move the lens lock handle to unlocked position. Ensure the lens holder is at On-Axis position. Gently insert the lens so the connector matches the socket, push until seated. Then slide the lock handle to locked position. Always verify the lens is secure.

How do I adjust focus and perform Scheimpflug adjustment?

Project a focus pattern in 4K UHD mode. Start by adjusting zoom to telephoto and fine-tune focus with the barrel. Switch to wide and adjust nuts 1, 2, and 3 equally. Repeat until sharp. To sharpen corners, adjust individual nuts: bottom left (nut 1), bottom right (nut 2), top right (nut 3). Finally, lock all set screws and nuts following the specified sequence.

What is the hazard distance for this projector?

The hazard distance (HD) depends on the lens throw ratio. For example, at TR=1.0, HD is about 0.8 m; at TR=5.0, HD is 4.0 m. The light beam is unsafe within the HD. Install the projector at a height such that the beam is at least 2.0 m above the floor (or 2.5 m in the US) to prevent exposure.

How to clean the lens of the HDX-4K12?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the lens. Avoid touching the lens with bare fingers. Do not use damp cloths, detergent, or thinner, as they can damage the anti-reflective coating. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a cloth with a mild detergent solution.

How to replace the lamp in the HDX-4K12?

First, power off and disconnect the projector from the mains. Allow the lamp to cool for at least 15 minutes. Remove the lamp cover and then the lamp house. Install the new lamp house, ensuring it is properly seated. Replace the lamp cover. Always wear protective clothing when handling xenon lamps due to risk of explosion.

How to connect the projector to a network?

Use the Ethernet port (10/100 Base-T, RJ-45) on the communication panel. Connect to a LAN. The projector supports DHCP or manual IP configuration. Access the projector via the built-in web server or Projector Toolset software for remote control and monitoring.

Can I stack multiple HDX-4K12 projectors?

Yes. In table mount configuration, stack up to three projectors. In ceiling mount configuration, stack up to two. Use stacking points and interlocking adapters. Always secure stacked projectors with safety cables when ceiling mounted. Align the images using the stacking alignment procedures.

What safety precautions should I take due to high brightness?

Never look directly into the lens. Ensure the hazard distance is respected and that the beam is at least 2.0 m above the floor in areas accessible to the public. Use physical barriers or restrict access within the hazard zone. Wear UV-protective eyewear when near the projector. Also, use a lens safety cable when mounting above people.

Topreventfirehazard

• 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 all DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep flammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. 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, CO _2 or 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.
• Let the projector cool down completely before storing. Remove cord from the projector when storing.
  • Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air or on the lamp house.

Topreventprojectordamage

• This projector has been designed for use with a specific lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.
- The air filters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on regular base (a "clean" booth 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 and unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from its cooling system.
- In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 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 unplug the mains supply immediately. 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. Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.
• 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 sun light. Sun light 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. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.
• Rated maximum ambient temperature, t _a = 40 °C (104 °F).
  • The lamp house shall be replaced if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.

Onservicing

• 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.
  • Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.

- If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

- If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

• 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.
• Possible explosion hazard: Always keep in mind the caution below:

CAUTION: Xenon compact arc lamps are highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to the manufacturer's instructions. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mishandled. Whenever the lamp house, containing a xenon lamp, has to be dismantled or whenever the protective container or cloth has to be removed from the xenon lamp, authorized protective clothing MUST beworn!

Topreventbatteryexplosion

• 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.

1.3 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)

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.

RestrictionZone(RZ)basedontheHD

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 9.

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 do not apply. The relevant minimum separation height is 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) and the separation width is defined as 1.0 meter (3.3 ft) by the FDA CDRH.

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.

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.

RestrictionZone(RZ)basedontheHD

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).

PD Projection Distance.
SW Separation Widt h. 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 (HD)", page 7, 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 defuse surface of the rear projection screen.

As described in "High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)", page 7, 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 ( HD_reflection ); 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 graphs in chapter "HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 9.

$$ \mathrm{HD} _ {\text { reflection }} = 25 \% (\mathrm{HD} - \mathrm{PD}) $$

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

1.6 Important warnings concerning HDXflight cases

Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting HDX rental flight cases

• Stack maximum two (2) HDX rental flight cases high. Never higher.
- Surface on which flight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four wheels. The surface must also be able to support the load safely.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the wheels and their fixation screws for wear or defects.
- Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check that the four lock handles on each flight case are in good working order and locked securely.
- When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper flight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the flight case below.
- Stacked flight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower flight case must already be in its final resting position before placing the second upon it.
• Never stack loaded flight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each flight case is rigidly strapped tight.
• In the event of a wheel breaking, flight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.
• Use an appropriate forklift to raise flight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

Aboutthischapter

Read this chapter before installing the HDX projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the installed projector, required power net, etc.

Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.

2.1 Installationrequirements

Environmentconditions

Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the HDX may be safely operated or stored.

EnvironmentOperatingNon-Operating

Ambient Temperature	10 °C (50 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F)	-15°C (5°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Humidity	5% to 85% RH Non-condensed	5% to 95% RH Non-Condensed
Altitude	-60 (-197Ft) to 3000m (9843Ft)	-60 (-197Ft) to 10000m (32810Ft)

Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light ProcessorUnit.

Coolingrequirements

The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space around the projector head, minimum 10 cm (4 inch) to ensure sufficient air flow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet, does not exceed +40°C (+104°F).

Cleanairenvironment

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.

Only ever use the manufacturer's recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on the projector's optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer's warranty and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.

MainPowerrequirements

The HDX operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE.

Power requirements : 110-130V/200-240 V, 15A, 50-60Hz

The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector.

Projectorweight

Do not underestimate the weight of the HDX. The projector weights about ±50 kg ( ±111 lb.) without lens. Be sure that the pedestal on which the projector has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the system.

2.2 Unpacking the projector

Whathastobedone?

Upon delivery, the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Furthermore, to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once the projector has arrived at the installation site, it needs to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.

After unpacking let the projector acclimatize to a room temperature higher then 10^ C ( 50^ F) and lower then 40^ C ( 104^ F). Neglecting this may result in a start up failure of the Light Processor Unit.

Save the original shipping carton and packing material, they will be necessary if you ever have to ship your projector. For maximum protection, repack your projector as it was originally packed at the factory.

A rubber foam inside a plastic bag is placed into the lens opening of the projector. It's recommended to reuse this foam and plastic back each time you transport the projector. This to prevent intrusion of dust and foreign particles.

Thelensisdeliveredinaseparatebox.

2.3 Initial inspection

General

Before shipment, the projector was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the projector is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing material until the inspection is completed. If damage is found, file claim with carrier immediately. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible.

The packaging of the HDX is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label was triggered (red colored at arrival) during transport, that indicates that the package was possibly roughly handled by the transport company. In this case, the instructions mentioned on the label, should be followed, which are: adding a note on the "bill of lading" and informing the transport company and the Barco sales and service office as soonaspossible.

Boxcontent

After unpacking the projector it is recommended to check if all following items where included:

• Three power cords of 2.5 meter, one CEE (7), one NEMA L6-20P and one CH2-16P
• One Quick Start guide
• One Safety manual
• One Web site reference sheet
• One remote control unit (RCU)
• 2 batteries for the RCU.

Onexenonlampismountedinsidethelamphouseatdelivery.Theprojectorlensesarenotincludedinthe packageoftheprojector.

Mechanicalcheck

This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents and scratches, and that the operating panel is not scratched or cracked. The Barco Sales and Service office should be notified as soon as possible if this is not the case.

2.4HDXflightcase

IntroductionoftheHDXflightcase

The HDX flight case is designed to transport the HDX in a safe and secure manner. The four caster wheels, provided with breaks, and the four handles make the HDX flight case easy to handle. The floor of the flight case wagon is equipped with two small covered compartments to store the remote control and the rigging clamps.

The dimensions of the flight case are optimal for maximum utilization of the floor area of a truck. The cover of the HDX flight case has 4 stacking dishes, which allows to stack the flight cases.

WARNING: Maximum stack two (2) HDX flight cases high. Never higher.

2.5Projectorconfigurations

Thedifferentconfigurations

Depending on the installation the projector can be mounted in different ways, the different configurations are:

1. Front / Table (F/T)
2. Front / Ceiling (F/C) (upside down)
3. Front / Ceiling (F/C) (table position)
4. Rear / Table (R/T)
5. Rear / Ceiling (R/C) (upside down)
6. Rear / Ceiling (R/C) (table position)

Frontprojection

The projector is installed, either in a table mount or ceiling mount configuration, at the same side of the screen as the audience.

Rearprojection

The projector is installed, either in a table mount or ceiling mount configuration, at the other side of the screen opposite the audience.

Image 2-6 Rear projection

Image 2-7 Rear projection, ceiling mounted in table position

Positioning the projector

Image 2-8 Positioning projector

The projector should be installed at right angles (horizontally and vertically) to the screen at a distance PD. Note the distance (A) between lens centre and table surface is slightly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 35 cm in case all feet are turned in completely and the vertical lens shift is set to zero (0).

Onaxis/offaxisprojection

The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector can be positioned in On-Axis or Off-Axis configuration. On-Axis configuration means that the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen. Off-Axis projection is obtained by shifting the lens up, down, left or right. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any installation.

Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD = SH/2 + B - A

Shiftrange

The lens can be shifted with respect to the DMD (P) which result in a shifted image on the screen (Off-Axis). A 100% shift means that the centre point of the projected image is shifted by half the screen size. In other words, the centre point of the projected image falls together with the outline of the image in an On-Axis projection. Due to mechanical and optical limitations it's recommended to keep the shift values within the field of view (F) as illustrated below. Within these shift ranges the projector and lens perform excellently. Configuring the projector outside these shift ranges will result in a slight decline of image quality.

Image 2-9
Vertical and horizontal shift range
P D M D
F Field of view.

It is mechanical possible to shift outside the recommended field of view, but it will result in a decline of image quality depending on the used lens and the zoom position of the used lens. Furthermore, shifting too much in both directions will result in ablurred image corner.

BestimagequalityisprojectedintheOn-Axisconfiguration.

Horizontalandverticalprojectortiltranges

The projector can be rotated and mounted at any vertical angle. In other words, you can tilt the lens side of the projector as much as desired for your application.

Side to side tilt, however, must not exceed ± 15^ . This limit ensures that the lamp in the projector operates properly and safely. More tilting within area C is allowed but lamp flicker can happen.

4.1 Availablelenses

WARNING: Only use TLD+ ZOOM lenses. Using other lenses can touch and damage the mechanics of the build-in actuator! This can result in loud rattling noises and a damaged actuator.

Limitedamountofavailablelenses

In comparison to the regular HDX, the HDX 4k projectors have an actuator built in them to help provide a clear 4k image. This extra device means that less space is available in the projector for lenses, thus causing a more restricted amount of lenses that can be used. Using lenses other than the lenses mentioned in this chapter may damage the mechanics of the actuator, causing loud rattling noises in the process and possibly a distorted image.

Due to the similar look to the "regular" 2k HDX projector, an extra warning label has been added on the lens holder to raise awareness of this limit.

4.6 Scheimpflugadjustment

Whathastobedone?

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 sometimes happen that you won't be able to get a complete focused image on the screen due to a tilt (or 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 4-18 Scheimpflug principle

Scheimpflugprinciple

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.

Inputspecifications

• 3GSDI

3G follows the SMPTE 425M standard Level A.

HD-SDI follows the SMPTE 292M standard

• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI 1.4a. Support for 'Deep Color' up to 12 bit per color.

- DisplayPort

DisplayPort 1.2 (i.o. 1.1.a). Support for 'Deep Color' up to 12 bit per color.

CAUTION: The HDBaseT inputs can bridge a distance of 100 m but is sensitive to radiated electromagnetic interference: radiated electromagnetic interference (e.g. from GSM or switching inductive or capacitive loads) within the limits of electromagnetic compatibility requirements of 3 V/m can cause random flashes or temporary loss of the projected image.

As such, shielded CAT-6 cables with metal RJ-45 connectors are recommended; choose cable length no longer than required and route HDBT cable optimally screened from possible sources of electromagnetic emission.

Ethernetport

The projector can be connected to a LAN (local area network) using the Ethernet port on the communication interface. Once connected to the LAN, users are capable of accessing the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company network using the control software: Projector Toolset. This toolset locates the projector on the network in case there is a DHCP server or the user can insert the correct IP-address of the projector to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity permits to detect potential errors and consequently improve the time to servicing.

DMXinterface

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/RS422input

The communication interface of the HDX supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication on two different types of input connectors. The left one a Sub-D connector, the right one an USBB 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 HDX. By this way you can configure and control your HDX 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

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'..

USBport

The communication interface is equipped with a master USB port, type "A" connector. This USB port will simplify the service procedures for software updates or for taking backup files from the projector without network connection. An USB-stick is plugged into the USB port and files can be transferred from or to the projector using the local or remote control unit. Note that the USB-stick has to be Linux FAT16 compatible.

10.3Warping

10.3.1 Aboutwarping

Overview

Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the screen. Consequently, it can also be used to generate an image with irregular shape.

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

10.3.2 Warping-ScreenSize

AboutScreenSizeadjustment

If the used screen or projected area is not a standard size, you can adjust the projected image to perfectly fit the screen/area.

Note that Screen Size adjustment is not the same as zooming in or out. If an non-standard screen/area is used, it is better to first use the Zoom and focus functions to match the projected image to the target area as closely as possible. Only after this is done, you can shrink either the width or height to obtain a perfect match.

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.

IP

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

Subnetmask

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

DefaultGateway

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.

MACaddress

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

WhatshouldbesetupforanEthernetaddress?

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 any IP-Address on the subnet.

GLOSSARY

DefaultGateway

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.

-8

IP

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

Lightprocessorunit

Heart of the projector, unit inside this projector which is responsible for the creation of the image to be projected on the screen. Also called 'engine'.

MACaddress

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'.

Scheimpflugprinciple

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.

Subnetmask

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

TR(ThrowRatio)

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