Introduction
TransVision™ 4 is a High Definition Digital Video Projection system comprising 
of two complementary components: a High Definition Video Projector featuring 
Dark  Chip
™ 2  Digital  Light  Processing  (DLP™)  technology  from  Texas  Instru-
ments and a Digital Video Processor. The TransVision
™ 4 offers an outstanding 
progressive scan HDTV images with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 720 (720P) 
native resolution. The TransVision
™ Projector may be floor or ceiling mounted and configured 
for front or rear projection. The Digital Video Processor is designed to be located at the video sources. 
It  accepts a total of 10 video inputs, provides source switching, digital video 
processing  of  analog  and  digital  video  sources  and  delivers  a  720p  digital 
output to the Projector via a proprietary DVI cable. The  ten  video  inputs  include:  two  HDCP  compliant  DVI-D;  two  RGB;  two 
Component Video; two S-Video and two Composite. Signal connections between the Digital Video Processor and the Projector 
are made through a proprietary DVI cable with a Control Signal. The Control 
Signal is used to transmit bi-directional control signals (on, off, lamp status…) 
between the Projector and the Processor. An infrared learning wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects 
the input source and adjusts all of the operating controls. The system may also 
be controlled from the front panel or from a RS-232 serial port.  IR sensors on both the Projector and the Processor allow the system to be 
controlled from either unit.  Video and image settings for each individual video input may be adjusted 
and stored separately in the system’s memory.  These settings are recalled for 
each input and video type when selected. The TransVision
™ 4 determines the video signal type by measuring horizon-
tal and vertical scanning frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined 
video source,  the TransVision
™ 4 selects  video and image settings from the 
system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i, 580p, 
1080i, 540p, and 720p and computer sources VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA. In addition to predefined video sources, the TransVision
™ 4 allows the user 
to create up to three new video source memory locations per video input. For more details on how to create memory location for new video sources 
refer to the “Image Setup Menu.
”
Two programmable 12 volt screen trigger outputs are also provided to trig
-
ger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift, or other relay activated device.

Processor Front Panel Controls
The TransVision™ 4 Processor front panel controls include:
•  A 
POWER button to turn the system On or Off.
•  An indicator light ( LED) which is lit when the unit is turned on and blinks when 
a valid IR command is received.  — When the LED is DARK the AC power to the unit is turned off.
—  When the LED is flashing On and Off, power is connected and the unit is  in the standby mode.
—  When the LED is on the unit is powered on.
—  When the LED is flashing fast, this indicates that the lamp failed to ignite.  If the lamp failed to ignite, the lamp may either be burned or hot. In case 
the lamp is hot, wait approximately 1 minute to turn the unit on.
• An 
IR Receiver Window
•  A  MENU   button  to  display  the  Main  menu  or  to  return  to  the  previous 
menu.
•  
Up ▲ and down ▼ FUNCTION buttons to sequences through the on-screen 
menu options.
•   Left
 ◀  and  right ▶  VALUE   buttons  to  adjust  values  or  to  move  to  a  sub-
menu.

1. DIGITAL OUTPUT (DVI )
Connect  the  digital  video  output  from  the  processor  to  the  projector  using 
DWIN’s DVI-D cable. 
Special Note about In-Wall Installations and Cable Lengths:
A standard rectangular DVI connector is fairly large in size (approximately 2” 
wide) making it difficult to run through the walls. DWIN’s solution is to termi
-
nate one end of the DVI cable with a .75” circular connector that can easily run 
through a 1” conduit (figure 1).  DWIN offers a series of unique (DVI-D-xx) cables in six different lengths: 25, 
30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 feet. Part numbers for these cables are DVI-D-xx, the “xx” 
refers to the length of the cable. Part numbers for these cables are DVI-D-xx, 
the “xx” refers to the length of the cable. For cable lengths longer than 50 feet, 
use DWIN’s Cable Extender. The cable extender operates with DVI-R-xx cables 
and are available in 25, 35, and 50 Feet lengths
Fig. 1: DVI Cable with Circular Connector
2. DVI-D INPUTS
The  DVI  1  and  DVI  2  inputs  are  HDCP  compliant  for  High-Definition  (480p, 
580p, 720p, 1080i) sources or computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, and 
WXGA resolutions. For computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, or WXGA 
it is recommended to set the computer to 60 Hz vertical frequency. If your computer video card has DVI output, connect the DVI cable to the DVI 
1 or DVI 2 inputs of the Digital Processor. Select the corresponding DVI input by 
pressing “9” or “0” on the remote control, then activate the DVI output from 
the computer by using computer’s display set-up menu.
