Digital Projection LIGHTNING 10sx And LIGHTNING 15sx User Manual

For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the
screen (see opposite).
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at least
twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen should
be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area...

Positioning the Projector
Correct positioning of the projector is essential to achieve the best results. Before
deciding on the final location of the projector please ensure you read the following 
information very carefully.
The projector must be situated in a clean, dry environment and away from direct
sunlight or heat. Make sure you locate the projector so that the air inlets and outlets
for the cooling system are not obstructed.
The projector should never, under any circumstances, be operated with...

THROW DISTANCE - FIXED RATIO LENSES
It is important to position the projector at the right distance from the screen. This
Throw Distance is defined as the distance from the screen to the front of the 
projector case. It is calculated by taking into account your screen width, the type of
lens used, and the aspect ratio you intend to display.
If you intend to display images with different aspect ratios, it is recommended that
you position the projector at a distance from the screen which will allow you to...

The lenses developed for the POWERgvseries may be used with a LIGHTNINGsx
projector, albeit with limited lens shift capabilities and the use of an adapter. It
should be noted that the throw ratios of the...

Mounting the Projector
Now that you know the distance from the screen that the projector must be located
you can decide on which type of mounting will best suit your requirements. The
easiest method of mounting is to rest the projector on a desk or table directly in
front of the display screen. If you intend to use this method, make sure that the desk
or table is strong enough to support the projectors weight safely.
Never mount the projector near air conditioning or heating ducts, electrical
wiring or...

Care should be taken when removing or attaching the projector feet to ensure that
the projector does not rest on its feet at an angle.
External Cable Routing
In order to help prevent cross coupling, it is good working practice to avoid running
signal cables and mains cables closely bundled together over long distances.
Where this advice is not observed, the user may experience poor picture quality,
inexplicable and spurious operation, or, in extreme cases, cause hardware damage.

-
First of all, connect the video signal input source to the Analogue Input Board at the
back of the projector (refer to Signal Sources for details on different sources and
how to connect them). Then plug the projector into the mains supply and switch it
on (using the on/off switch at the back of the projector). Switch on the video source.
The projector will select the first valid signal as defined in the User Preferences and
display the image using the Factory Default parameters. The quality of the...

COMPOSITE SIGNALS
PAL, SECAM (Europe and Australia) and NTSC (US and Japan) signals, are
composite video formats used by televisions and VCRs. They are connected by one
lead to the COMPOSITE/G port in the source section on the rear panel.
S-VIDEO SIGNALS
VCRs and most video cameras produce an S-Video format. They are connected to
the projector ports Y and C.
Y Pr Pb SIGNALS
A Betacam signal requires connection to the Y, Pr and Pb ports.
