INTRODUCTION

The VX-3c projector is a professional quality DMDTM projector that uses Digital Light

ProcessingTM (DLPTM) technology from Texas Instruments to achieve high-brightness

multimedia and video projection. Both models are compatible

with standard international video formats and can interface with

IBMTM-compatible PC, MacintoshTM computers and high-defini-

tion (DTV) decoders. The VX-3c is ideal for use in large audi-

ence venues in which there may be high levels of ambient light,

such as in corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, and large theaters

with large screens.

The features of the VX-3c include:

!Includes the VHD Controller for optimum picture quality when using NTSC sources

!1024 x 768 native resolution, with other resolutions fully scaleable

!3000 ANSI lumens light output

!Contrast ratio of greater than 250:1 ANSI, 400:1 full field

!Tandem horizontal and vertical sizing software control

!Independent vertical stretch for changing aspect ratios

!Interchangeable lenses for diagonal screen sizes up to 40 or more feet

!Memory for up to 99 custom “channels” (source setups)

!Intuitive on-screen menus or hidden direct control

!Input switching with keypad

!Built-in RS-232 and RS-422 ports for computer control and networked projectors

!Remote-controlled shutter (optional)

!Modular design for easy servicing.

How The Projector Work?

The VX-3c can accept data/graphics and video input signals for projection on to front

or rear flat screens. High brightness light is generated by an internal 700W Xenon arc

lamp, then modulated by three DMD (digital micromirror device) panels that provide

digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each panel

is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens,

where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.

This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to

quickly set it up for temporary use, follow the Quick Setup instructions below. For a more complete setup, fol-

low the instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections.

NOTE: 1) The lens is not mounted when the projector is shipped from the factory. For instructions on how to

install or replace a lens, refer to 4.5, Replacing the Lens.

2.1 Quick Setup

Follow these steps for quick setup of the projector in a standard floor mount position.

STEP 1!Position the Projector

Set the projector at the expected throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and vertical posi-

tion. See 2.3, Projector Position and Mounting and Appendix E. Make sure that the projector is

level from side-to-side (see 2.7, Leveling).

STEP 2!Connect a Source

Locate the main input panel at the rear of the projector. The lower left area, labeled INPUT 1,

accepts an RGB input via BNC connectors. The upper right area (assuming a video decoder is

installed) accepts a composite video at INPUT 3 or S-video input at INPUT 4. Connect your

source to the appropriate panel connectors.

STEP 3 !Connect the Line Cord to AC Power

Connect the projector’s 13 amp high-current rated line cord to the AC receptacle at the lower

right corner of the projector and to AC. Input power required is 100 - 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz @

11.5 amps (@ 100 V). Use only a high-current 13 amp rated cord. See Section 5.

WARNING

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the

specified voltage and power range.

STEP 4!Turn the Projector ON

Using either the built-in or remote keypad, press and hold for approximately 1 second to

turn the projector on (or press ). Let the projector warm up for about five minutes.

The POWER LED, located in the lower right corner of the rear input panel, should glow a

steady green.

STEP 5!Select a Source

Using either the built-in or remote keypad, press , , , or to select and display

the image for the source you connected in Step 2. The display will resize as needed, producing

an image as large as possible for the type of source present.

STEP 6!Adjust Image

!ZOOM: With the input image displayed, rotate the textured ring on

the lens barrel to increase or decrease the image size (this requires a

zoom lens). If you don’t have a zoom lens or you can’t adjust the

image enough, the projector may not be positioned at the proper throw

distance for your screen size. Power down, unplug the projector and

move it towards or away from the screen. See 2.3, Projector Position

and Mounting for details.

!FOCUS: At the lens opening, turn the focus tab to focus the image

clearly.

!OFFSETS: Turn either or both of the adjustment screws (with the

provided hex driver) adjacent to the lens if you need to align the image

with your screen-turn the top screw to raise or lower the image. Turn

the bottom screw to shift the image left or right. Re-check focus.

!OTHER: Press to refine other display parameters as described

in Section 3.

2.2 Installation Considerations

Although this projector delivers a high brightness quality output, final display quality could be

compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This subsection discusses issues you

should consider before proceeding with a final installation. Even if you do not intend to use the

projectors in a fixed and permanent installation, this subsection will help you to better understand

what you can do to enhance display performance.

Lifting

For any new installation, you will likely have to safely lift the projector into place. Keep in mind

that the projector is quite heavy, and the aid of a CO2 or other type of mechanical lift is highly

recommended.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Installation Type!

Choose the installation type which suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or invert-

ed mount.

Screen Type!Front Screen Installations

While there are two basic screen types, flat and curved, generally flat screens are recommended

for this projector. Flat screens offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. The

image is diffused equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.

Because of the low gain, flat screens are most effective when ambient lighting is reduced,

although this difference may be negligible given the high brightness output from this projector.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Figure 2.1. Audience Coverage with Flat Screen

NOTE: Lenses for this projector are designed primarily for use with flat screens, but the projec-

tor depth-of-field range allows the lens to be focused on curved screens as well. While focus

remains sharp in the corners, there may be significant pincushion distortion, primarily at the top

of the screen.

Rear Screen Installations

There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical. A diffused screen has a surface

that evenly spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have a gain of less than 1. The

main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for

front screen projection. Fresnel lenticular screens take light from the projector and redirect it to

increase the light intensity at the front of the screen. This reduces it in other areas. A viewing

cone, similar to that of a curved front screen installation, is created.

To summarize, Fresnel lenticular screens are better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audi-

ence is situated within the viewing cone. Diffused screens may be better suited when a wide view-

ing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.

Screen Size!Screen size may be from 5 to 40 feet diagonal, depending on the lens you are using. For instance,

a 1.2:1 lens can produce a 5 to 25 foot image size, whereas a 4-7:1 zoom lens produces an 8 to

40 foot image size. Choose a screen size that is appropriate for your lens and application. Keep

in mind that if the projector will be used to display text information, the image size must allow

the audience to recognize all text clearly. The eye usually sees a letter clearly if eye-to-text dis-

tance is less than 150 times the height of the letter. Small text located too far from the eye may

be illegible at a distance no matter how sharply and clearly it is displayed.

To fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of

the image. The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. Standard television

has a 4:3 or 1.33:1 aspect ratio. For example, to display a television image with a 4:3 aspect ratio

onto a 10 foot (3m) high screen, the width of the screen must be at least 13.3 feet (4m).

Note: Screen size is often specified as diagonal size. Screens specified by diagonal size have

aspect ratios of 4:3. Screens with other aspect ratios, such as 16:9, are not typically specified by

diagonal size, instead they are specified by height and width.
