12.  GCM - GEOMETRY CORRECTION MODULE 
The GCM (Geometry Correction Module) facilitates, v
ia CompactDesigner/CompactControl, the 
special features unique to the 3D perception projec tion solutions. These include: 
 
· Image warping 
·  Soft edge blending 
·  Colour balance and matching 
·  Masks 
  
For full details on achieving the effects of these  features please read the 
CompactDesigner/CompactControl User Manual.   
The CompactView SX25+I is delivered with a GCM card  inside it. The CompactView SX25+E 
does not have a GCM card inside it, it has to been  connected to a GCM card in a CompactUTM. 
12.1  Connecting the CompactView SX25+I 
Connect the Control PC (running CompactDesigner or  CompactControl) to the projectors  
‘Control chain In’ port.  The supplied 6 lead cable  plugs into the Control PC’s serial port using a 
RJ12 6 pin to serial DB-9 female adapter.  
 
  
Connecting multiple projectors 
Multiple projectors may be connected together in a  ‘daisy chain’ by using the input and output 
ports on each projector. From the first projector,  another 6 lead cable connects between the 
‘Control Chain Out’ port and the ‘Control Chain In’  port of the second projector.  This chain can 
be extended up to the theoretical limit of 255 proj ectors in a single chain.

13.  FOCUS AND ZOOM 
13.1  Focus 
Turn the Focus ring (A) on the projection lens  
to get a correctly focused image.  
 
 
13.2  Zoom 
Turn the Zoom ring (B) on the projection lens  
to zoom In and Out. (This is only available on  
the optional zoom lens.)    
 If the desired image size cannot be achieved  
by adjusting the zoom ring, relocate the 
projector nearer or farther away from the 
projection screen and re-try.

14.  MOUNTING THE PROJECTOR 
14.1  To a Ceiling Mount 
The projector can be ceiling mounted using any appr
oved UL tested/listed ceiling mount fixture 
with a minimum weight capacity of 12 kg (26 lbs).    
The ceiling mount obtainable through 3D perception  (as illustrated below) is only approved for 
C
OMPACTVIEW projectors. 
  
For the ceiling mount use M4 screws provided.    
For proper ventilation, the minimum distance from t he ceiling/rear wall should be 30 - 50 cm, (12 
- 20 inches).    
The specifications and functionality of the product  may change without prior notice. 
 
 
 
A  Locking screws for vertical adjustment  D  Night ap erture 
B  Slide  E  Adjustable flanges* 
C  Housing for slide     
 
* Adjustable Flanges are not provided with the nigh t aperture, they have to be manufactured by 
individual users to suit their particular required  shapes. Under normal circumstances it is 
sufficient that the flanges are made from stiff pap er or cardboard; in which case they can be 
affixed to the night aperture with strong tape. Sho uld it be deemed necessary to manufacture 
metal flanges, they can be affixed to the night ape rture with the bolts and wing nuts provided.

14.2  To a Tabletop 
The projector may be mounted or sited directly onto
 a tabletop. 
  
To  adjust  the  projected  image  to  the  desired  height   on  the  screen,  eject  the  front  foot  (C)  by 
pressing the release button (D), and adjust the ang le to the right position. 
  
To get an image level with the screen, turn the rea r feet (E) to the right position. 
 
 
 
NOTE:  Although this method of mounting is suitable for t emporary use such as demonstration 
pruposes, is not recommended for permanent installa tions such as simulators.

15.  USING THE PROJECTOR 
After set-up, switch on all equipment.    
To switch the projector on, firmly press the POWER 
button on the keypad or the remote control. 
The STATUS indicator will turn from yellow to green  when the projector is switched on. 
 
When only one source is connected, the projector wi ll auto-detect the source. If more sources 
are connected, the projector will display the sourc e with the highest priority according to the 
following list:    
·  VGA 1 
·  VGA 2 
·  DVI 
·  Component 
·  Super video 
·  Composite video 
  
Sound will follow the selected source. Select betwe en the sources by pressing the SOURCE 
buttons on the keypad or the remote control. Only s ources that are active will be displayed. 
  
If no source is active, the message “searching” wil l appear on the screen. 
 
If no source is active for a long time, the project or will go into the standby mode. The projector 
will be switched on if at least one source is activ ated/re-activated. Can be disabled in the menu. 
See DPMS in the set up sub menu.   
To switch the projector off, firmly press the POWER  button on the keypad or the remote control 
twice. The STATUS indicator will turn from green to  flashing yellow, then to yellow when 
switched off.

brightness  
Adjusts the image brightness. A higher setting will  
increase the brightness a lower setting will decrea se 
the brightness of the image.    
contrast  
Controls the contrast of the image. A higher settin g 
will yield a harder image with larger difference  
between shades, while a low setting will produce a  
softer image with less difference between shades.  
 
color  
Adjusts the color saturation. A higher setting will  
produce stronger coloring, while a lower setting wi ll 
yield paler colors.   
tint  
Adjusts the NTSC color tint. Applicable to NTSC  
(American) video standard only. A higher setting wi ll 
yield a more reddish color scheme, while a lower 
setting will turn colors more greenish.    
hue  
Controls the color hue     
sharpness 
Controls the image sharpness. A higher setting will  
yield a harder image, with less filtering. In video  
applications, this may produce more noise in the 
projected image. A lower setting will soften the im age, 
looking more smeared out, and reducing the overall  
noise.   
aspect  
Selects image format. An image may be displayed in  
various aspect ratios. This function is used when  
displaying source formats that differ from the 
projectors native display format.   
space  
Defines the color standard used for component video  
so that the image is displayed with the proper 
characteristics.
