Digital Projection Highlite 12000dsx+, 8000dsx+ Users Manual

							E-11
2 Features
•HDTV support, suited to 3D movement and telecine, with
I/P conversion
I/P conversion processing using an interpolation circuit suited
to 3D movement that supports HDTV and SDTV signal input
as well as telecine signals permits reproduction of images hav-
ing impressive definition.
•Full 10 bit image processing circuit
The image processing circuit features 10 bits for each color.
As a result, there is complete 10 bit processing when the sig-
nal is input from the optional SDI interface slot which will pro-
vide image quality having a high tonal quality.
•Equipped with 4 slots which can accommodate 4 types of
interface boards
This Projector is equipped with 4 slots which permit the inser-
tion of the following 4 types of optional interface boards. Mul-
tiple interface boards of the same type can also be inserted.
Connectors of the Various Boards
MM-VIDEO* .... CVBS input connector (BNC), S-Video in-
put connector (BNC 2 conductors), Com-
ponent video input connector (BNC 3 con-
ductors)
MM-RGB* ....... RGB input connector (BNC 5 conductors)
MM-DVI ........... DVI-D input connector (DVI-D 24 pin)
MM-SDI ...........SDI input connector (BNC)
2, monitor out-
put connector (BNC)
*When shipped from the factory this Projector is loaded with
one MM-VIDEO board and one MM-RGB board.
•High contrast images with DigiView - SweetVision
TM func-
tion
This Projector is equipped with the DigiView - SweetVision
TM
function which utilizes the characteristics of the human eye to
provide an image quality with a sense of contrast.
•LAN port is standard equipment and wireless LAN is sup-
ported
Connection of a commercially available LAN cable (Ethernet
cable) to the LAN port (RJ-45) permits control of this Projector
from the personal computer via the LAN.
•Seamless Switching Function
Mounting of the MM-IMGPRO and MM-SCALING options per-
mits the switching of signals between two input interface
boards.
Alpha Blending, Wipe, and Box In/Out image effects can be
selected at the time of switching.
•DigiBlend - Edge Blending Function
When two or more projectors are used to project images lined
up horizontally or vertically, a blending adjustment can be per-
formed to make the borders of the adjacent images less con-
spicuous.
The gamma curve that is adjusted to the input source can be
set between 1.0 and 3.0, and 256 gradations can be expressed.
1. Introduction
•DigiWarp - Geometric Warp Correction Function
In the case pictures are projected on particular shaped screens
(cylindrical or spherical), geometric warp can be corrected by
implementing MM-WARP (optional).
•Dust Control of DMD
Contamination of the DMD is prevented using a dust control
system to stop the ingress of dust, oil and smoke particles in
the air getting onto the DMD surface which can affect the qual-
ity of the projected image.
•Fluid Cooled DMD
The DMD temperature is controlled more efficiently by the use
of fluid a cooling system.
•Tilt and PAN Function with Stacking frame
Projectors can be stacked vertically upto two high by built-in
frame interface connectors.
When projectors are stacked,  image alignment can be ad-
justed for up/down tilt, left/right tilt and fine adjustment of PAN
(left to right rotation).
NOTE: The frame is not included on HIGHlite 8000Dsx+.

When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and
the Projector using a DVI-D signal cable before turning on your
PC or Projector. Turn on the Projector first and select DVI (DIGI-
TAL) from the source menu before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graph-
ics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this
happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the Projector
is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then
re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should
this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
•Use the DVI-D signal cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working
Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI-D cable
should be within 5 m (196) long.
•For details about the compatible input signals, see page E-82.

1. Introduction
Remote Control Precautions
•The remote control system may not function when direct sunlight or
strong illumination strikes the remote control sensor of the main unit, or
when there is an obstacle in the path.
•When remote control buttons are pressed and held, Projector’s func-
tion keys may not operate.
•Do not subject to strong shock.
•Do not allow water or other liquid to splash on the remote control. If the
remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•Avoid exposure to heat and steam.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control when the remote control
is not going to be used for a long period.
Remote Control Battery Installation
Installing the Remote Control Batteries
When it comes time to replace the batteries, two AA type will
be required.
1. Press and open the cover.
2. Align and insert the batteries according to the (+) and (-) indications
inside the case.
3. Replace the cover.
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of
approximately 7m (20 feet) and a 60 degree angle of the remote
sensor.
The Projector will not function if there are objects between the
remote sensor and the remote control or if strong light falls on
the remote sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the Projector
from operating properly.
NOTE: You cannot operate the Projector using the remote control if:
• The remote control ID is not set to “None”.
• The remote control ID is not the same as the Projector ID.
See page E-61 for setting remote control ID and Projector ID.
