page 2.13 105-681B January 2007 Digital Projection LIGHTNING 30sx+m, 40sx+m User Manual 2. Installation Notes When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that the stresses are distributed to all for frame couplings. Make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight of all the projectors and lenses (see specification for weights). Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another projector. Do not try to stack more than four projectors. Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each projector. Frame coupling Hole for locking pin Stacking projectors The rigging frame is capable of supporting the weight of up to three other projectors, using the built-in frame couplings. The projectors can be stacked on top of each other, or suspended below each other. • Carefully lower each projector down onto the top of the others, making sure that all four frame couplings engage fully. • Fit a locking pin into each coupling. A ball in the end of the pin prevents the pin from falling out – to insert or remove a locking pin, press the button on the t-bar to release the ball. • Align the images from the projectors, following the instructions in section 3. Getting started, Adjusting the projected image.
page 2.14 105-681B January 2007 2. Installation Digital Projection LIGHTNING 30sx+m, 40sx+m User Manual Notes This projector does not include any image-scaling or processing functions. Sources presented to the projector can only be mapped pixel for pixel to the display. More information about selecting (blanking) and positioning of the image can be found in section 4. Using the menus. Input connection panel Connecting the projector This projector is designed to be the projection head of a projection system enabling the user to use a variety of commercially available image-scaling and processing products including the Digital Projection MMS1000 or VIP1000. The processing unit can be located close to source equipment such as computers, video tape players and DVD players etc. Therefore, only the projector needs to be located in the lighting gantry. Only one connection is required between the processing equipment and head. For short distances, a regular DVI-D cable may be used, but for distances greater than 5 metres the DigiLink high bandwidth optical connection system is recommended. Digilink The DigiLink system is fully compatible with DVI-D, but uses optical fibre to transmit the RGB and clock signals, and copper wires to transmit the DDC signal and 5V power line. These are all integrated into a single cable. DigiLink allows cable lengths up to 100m to be used with the added benefit of reduced picture interference. Input Format Single DVI-D A single input is available: Sources upto 1400 x 1050 resolution @ 24- 60Hz and 8bits per colour.

Installation NotesEDID handshaking If you are using a computer DVI card or other DVI source that obeys the EDID handshaking protocol, then the card or source will automatically configure itself to suit the projector. If not, then you should refer to the documentation supplied with the DVI source to manually set the resolution to 1400 x 1050 or the nearest suitable setting. Example: setting up the MMS 1000 multimedia switcher The MMS multimedia switcher does not use EDID protocols, therefore you should use the MMS menus to manually set the output resolution as follows: • Switcher Options → Page 5 →Output Resolution → SxGA (1400 x 1050) Projector Output The projector has loop-through output. This enables signals to be passed through to a second projector in a stacking situation. Ensure that DVI Repeater is ON - see Source menu, in section 4. Using the menus.
