Congratulations on selecting the Premiere 50HD DLP Projector.
The Premiere 50HD DLP is the first
mainstream projector to offer Silicon
Optix AnyPlace™ technology, which
provides flexibility in projector placement while displaying a high-definition
image.
The projector is equipped with a full
set of I/O connectors, enabling you to
attach a wide variety of input devices
including Composite Video, S-Video,
Digital Video Interface (DVI), Computer VGA, and Component Video.
The control panel and remote control enable you to easily set up functions such as
input source, aspect, gamma correction, and color temperature. The keystone feature provides maximum flexibility in projector placement while still providing a flat
image.
The menu driven OSD (On-Screen Display) provides a suite of functions that enable
you to set such items such as the source input device, gamma, brightness, contrast,
clock, and phase. The RS-232 port enables easy upgrades to ensure that the projector firmware is always up-to-date.
The Silicon Optix image processor is incorporated in the design with its unique AnyPlace™ technology, which adjusts for the vertical and horizontal projection angles to
the screen, allowing users to place the projector anywhere in the room and still display a perfect image. This eliminates the need for room remodelling, and enables the
projector to naturally blend into a room. In addition to AnyPlace placement flexibility,
the Premiere 50HD DLP projector delivers superior keystone and scaling image
quality.
The Premiere 50HD DLP Projector is supported by a standard two-year limited warranty.

Chapter 2 – Connections
Computer/Input 1
The computer port enables you to connect your computer to the projector using a
standard 15-pin D-sub VGA cable.
DVI input/Input 1
The projector supports connection to a DVI (Digital Visual Interface), which enables
you to connect any device with DVI-D (Digital Only) output.
The standard RS-232 port enables you to connect the projector to a PC and upgrade
the projector firmware through a PC or control the projector using RS232 commands. See Appendix E for more information about RS232 controls.
Note: The firmware upgrade is located on the CD that came bundled with
the projector. Contact your dealer for information on future upgrades.
Component/ Input 2 & 3
The projector supports two component video devices (Input 2&3). Component video
is typically transmitted in either YPbPr/YCbCr or RGB (Red/Green/Blue) formats.
Component video connections provide the best picture quality and are preferable to
S-Video and Composite Video connections.
Note: The PbPc/YCbCr color model is used for encoding video. Pb/Cb is
the luminosity of the black and white signal. Pb/Cb and Pr/Cr are color
difference signals. Pb/Cb is blue minus Y (B-Y), and Pr/Cr is red minus Y
(R-Y). The Premiere 50HD DLP Projector provides three standard RCA
phono plugs (x 2) to support YPbPc/YCbCr component video output.
S-Video/Input 4
Connect a DVD, VCR, or DTV decoder source device with the S-Video cable to this
socket. S-video separates pictures into chrominance and luminance signals providing a high quality image that is preferable to a composite video connection.
Composite Video/Input 4
Connect a DVD, VCR, or DTV decoder source device to this socket.
