5.1 Lens
5.1.1 Lens and lens mount
A range of fixed and zoom lenses is available to cover most applicatio\
ns, both both for front 
and rear projection. The lenses are powered and fitted with a bayonet mount for ease of 
installation.
Switch off all equipment before setting-up for proper function. 
When mounting and changing lenses, be aware that the optical system is exposed to dust 
and foreign particles as long as the lens is not attached to the system. Do not\
 leave the lens 
mount open longer than necessary to change lens. If a lens is not mounte\
d, always insert the 
protection lid to avoid dust and foreign particles entering the internal optics.
Never run the projector without lens mounted. 
5.1.2 Inserting a lens
To insert a lens please follow this procedure:
A Remove the protection lid from the bayonet mount by 
turning the knob anti-clockwise.
B Remove the rear lens cap. 
C Attach the projection lens using the bayonet mount, 
observing the red insertion marks. 
D Turn the lens firmly clockwise until it stops with a click.
E Remove the lens cap from the projection lens. If you 
switch the projector on with the lens cap in place, the 
lens cap may melt, damaging not only the lens cap, 
but also the projection lens and surrounding parts.
5.1.3 Replacing a lens
To replace a lens please follow this procedure:
A To change lens, first remove the current lens by 
pushing the release button and twisting the lens 
counter-clockwise until it comes loose. Pull the lens

5.4 Projector rotation
Always operate the projector horizontally, within the range of the adjustable front and rear 
feet. The projector may be rotated so that the lens points downwards. It may not be rotated 
around the through-the-lens axis. 
Operating the unit in other positions may reduce lamp life significantly, and may lead 
to overheating, finally resulting in malfunctioning. 
5.5 Ceiling mount
The projector can be ceiling mounted using an approved UL tested/ listed ceiling mount 
fixture, with a capacity of minimum 60 kg / 130 lbs. For ceiling mount use M6 \
screws that 
penetrate maximum 15 mm / 0.6” into the projector body. Figure 5-2. Ceiling mount, gives 
detailed information about the alignment of the ceiling mount screw holes in the  
projector.
For proper ventilation the minimum distance from ceiling/ rear wall should be:  
30/ 50 cm, 12/ 20 inch.

5.6 Connection and cables
Before setting up, switch off all equipment and disconnect the power cord. In order to 
prevent damage to the projector caused by overvoltages (e.g. lightning), connect to a 
line (mains) circuit which has overvoltage protection when installing.
5.6.1  Setting up a video source
For best quality video, connect a digital video source using the HDMI 1.3a interface (O) Con-
necting a video source in Figure 5-4. The HDMI input is HDCP copy protection compliant. 
Depending on cable quality, the projector is supporting the use of cables with lengths up 20 
meters (65 feet). 
Figure 5-4.  Connecting a video source
5.6.2  Setting up a computer source
The projector may be connected to up to six computer sources simultaneously, using the 
HDMI (O), DVI-D (J) or VGA (K) interfaces, shown in Figure 5-4/Figure 5-5. The digital inter-
faces (DVI/HDMI) will yield a projected image with very low noise.  
Both DVI and HDMI are HDCP compliant with sources up to 1920x1200@60Hz (single link 
source up to 165 Mhz).  Additional functionality may be acchieved using add\
itional X-PORT 
connectors like 3G-SDI, DisplayPort 1.1a and HDMI 3D (se separate secti\
ons).
Figure 5-5. Connecting a computer source
HDCP is not supported on higher resolution sources like 2560x1600@60Hz (WQXGA).
Connect the power cord after the other cables have been inserted properly.
5.6.3  Connecting command and control interfaces
The projector is supporting RS-232 and LAN command and control interfaces. Use the ASCII 
based protocol to communicate with the projector. A detailed description of the ASCII proto-
col is available for download at www.projectiondesign.com.Connect the power cord after the

5.6.4  Attaching X-PORT™ modules
X-PORT™ modules are separately available for purchase and not included  
with the base projector.
Switch off projector and disconnect power cord before attaching X-PORT™ module. 
Before attaching any X-PORT module, please make sure you have the latest SW run-
ning on the projector. Please go to www.projectiondesign.com to download the current 
SW and update the projector accordingly. See chapter 8 for details on how to upgrade 
the projector SW.
The projector supports up to two X-PORT™ modules simultaneously:
- X-PORT™ 1 for additional image processing (X-PORT™ DCC120*). Left hand side.
- X-PORT™ 2 for additional connectivity (X-PORT™ 3G-SDI, X-PORT™ DisplayPort 1.1a 
and X-PORT™ HDMI 3D*). Right hand side.
*X-PORT™ modules subject to availability.
To attach an X-PORT™ module, please follow this procedure:
A Remove cover plate, by removing the four screws. 
B Attach module. Observe X-PORT™ 1 and 2 positions are different. Attaching X-PORT™ 
modules in the wrong position will leave the module non-functional, but it is not 
destructive.
C Fix the four mounting screws securely.
* Features in the user guide pictures/drawings may be different from your projector depending on model/version.
Finally connect power cord and switch on projector.
The first time after a module is attached, the projector will automatically update and 
configure the module. This may take a few minutes. Please ensure that power  
remains on during this period.

5.7  Using X-PORT™ modules
X-PORT™ modules allows for extra functionality with the projector. This includes more con-
nectivity as well as additional image processing.
Functionality may include extended connectivity (like 3G-SDI and HDMI 3\
D) and additional 3D 
format support (like Blu-Ray frame packed, dual input sources, double flash 3D etc.)
Please refer to Chapter 6.4 for information on multi channel 3D sync.
5.7.1   X-PORT DCC120
X-PORT DCC120 is an X-PORT 1 module (post processing) adding additional 3D capabilities 
and multi-projector synchronization capabilities to the system.
5.7.1.1 3D formats supported
By using X-PORT DCC120 the following 3D format will then be supported:
Dual head input: When “Dual head” is enabled, the projector will combine the signals from 
DVI1 and DVI2 (or HDMI1 and HDMI2), place them beside each other and i\
nterpret it as a 
single source. The two sources need to have the same resolution. For example, if both inputs 
are 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the combined dual head source will be seen by the projector as a 
single 3840x1200 @ 60Hz source. If, now, 3D mode is set to side-by-side, the projector will 
take the left half of this combined image, which is in fact the source on DVI1, and use it as 
the left eye source. The same goes for DVI2 being the right eye source.
Side-by-side: In side-by-side 3D, each input frame is divided in half and the left h\
alf of the 
frame is used as the left eye frame and the right half of the input fram\
e is used as the right 
eye frame. This makes the output width become half of the input width. I\
f, for example, the 
input is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the output will be 960 x 1200 @ 120Hz.
Frame sequential: n frame sequential 3D, every other frame is interpreted as the left eye 
frame and the other input frame is interpreted as the right eye frame. To ensure that the 
projector chooses the correct frames as the left eye and right eye frames, a 3D sync signal 
should be connected from the IG’s display adapter DIN connector to the projector’s BNC 
sync-in connector. If such a signal isn’t present, the projector will choose the first input frame 
as the left eye frame and the next input frame as the right eye frame. T\
his will be wrong half 
the times the signal is acquired.
