Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions supplied with the BARCOREALITY SIM6 UL-

TRA MM.

2.1 Installation guidelines

Ambient Temperature Conditions

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.

Max. ambient temperature : 40 C or 104 F

Min. ambient temperature : 0 C or 32 F

The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0 C- 40 C or 32 F-104 F).

Storage temperature: -35 C to +65 C (-25.6 F to 149 F)

Humidity Conditions

Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing

Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing

Environment

Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not excessive.

Harmful Environmental Contamination Precaution

Environment condition check

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 manufactures recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronic 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 non-effective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures 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 manufacture reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to wantful neglect, abandon or improper use.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest


2. Installation Guidelines and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that interference with the screen is minimal.

Which screen type ?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear projection applications.

Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a determined amount of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated in terms of gain.

The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another consideration called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located and go for the highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle.

What image size ? How big should the image be ?

The projector is designed for projecting an image size (video) from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 6.00m (19.7ft) with a aspect ratio of 5 to 4.

2.2 Configuration

The procedure for the mounting of a Scheimpflug lens is different.

Refer to the installation manual of the lens.



2.3.4

Cleaning the lens

To minimize the possibility of damaging the optical coating or scratching exposed lens surface, we have developed recommendations for cleaning the lens. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.



Necessary tools

Toraysee TM cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

How to clean the lens ?

Proceed as follow :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN Toraysee TM cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.

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

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.

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

Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth.

Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this Toraysee TM cloth.

Overview

Address setting

Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU



4.5.3.1

Address setting


Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Common address

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

Why a projector address ?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefor 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.

Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Installation menu.

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

• RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.

• computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 1 and 255.

A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address ’0’ regardless of what address is set in the projector itself (common address of projector should also be “0” ).

The RCU is default programmed with address 0 , ’common address’.

If it is necessary to control a specific projector, then enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.

Some projectors may operatre in domestic environments where other equipments may listen to the common address “0” , therefore the common address can also be set to “1”.

Introduction to image files

An image files contains the main characteristics of a source (number of active lines,...). The projector’s memory contains a list of files corresponding to the most common sources, these are the standard files (file extension = *.s). When a new source corresponds to one of these files, a custom file (file extension =*.C) is created and saved for future use.

When there is a little difference, the file can also be loaded and then edited until the source specs are reached.

The AutoImage function creates automatically the best suited image file (custom file) for a new source. AutoImage is used when:

- a new source is detected : AutoImage creates a new custom file which can always be edited if necessary.

- the AutoImage button on the RCU is pressed

AutoImage works only in full screen mode

If the AutoImage function does not succeed in finding a file and no file is loaded (load list is empty), which means that the source is not displayed, then use the copy function,

What to do if the image is not perfect ?

If the displayed image is not correct after AutoImage or after selecting the best fitting file, go to the Edit menu, select the active file and change the settings.

10.2 Edit file

What can be done with the Edit file menu ?

The Edit file menu makes it possible to change the settings of the file according to the real settings of the connected source. Consult the source specifications before entering the data.

Active vertical lines

Vertical start in lines

Advanced video settings

The advanced button enables the advanced settings for a video source.

Image 10-7

HI AGC Hold interval

Image 10-6

The Comb filter is by default enabled.

The AGC hold interval is the time interval in which the AGC is inhibited (AGC hold = no update in video amplitude measurement), the advanced parameter allows to choose a short or long hold interval.

A long AGC hold interval eliminates Macrovision ® disturbances since the AGC is hold during a long interval, thus reducing the probability to encounter a Macrovision ® pulse.

Sharpness adjustment can be chosen to be coarse or fine.

It is recommended to use the default values.



Advanced Data settings

The advanced button enables the advanced settings for a data source.

Image 10-8

The VCO range setting determines the frequency range of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator).

The Cpmp (Charge pump current) sets the low pass filter current.

Both VCO range & Cpmp are set by the image file, changing these settings is only indicated in for special purposes.

The input format settings are used to "tell more" about the signals connected on the BNC’s, it completes the information in the source selection menu.

It is recommended to use the default values.

11.14Auto file load


The Auto file load option allows to create automatically an image file whenever a new source is detected, this file is then loaded and the source can be displayed using the settings of that particular image file.

In some cases however the user may choose to select an image file himself by using the Load (and Edit if necessary) in the Image

files menu, therefore the Auto file load function can be disabled.

The Auto file load option allows a continuous checking of the selected source, if the characteristics of the source change, a new image file is automatically selected.

When Auto file load is enabled and an incoherent characteristic is detected (for example, no sync ) the background is displayed (logo, blue or black screen)

Disabling the function implies that the source will be displayed independently of the changed characteristics

(image scrambled in case of no sync)
