Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD-T, 40HD-T User Manual  2. Installation
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.
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. 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 fi bre 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 benefi t of reduced picture interference.

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 confi gure 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 2048 x 1080 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 → 2k x 1k (2048 x 1080)
Projector Output
The projector has a loop-through output on the rear input only.  This enables signals 
to be passed through to a second projector in a stacking situation.
