5.6.4  Attaching X-PORT™ modules
X-PORT™ modules are separately available for purchase and not included  
with the base projector.
Switch off projector and disconnect power cord before attaching X-PORT™ module. 
Before attaching any X-PORT module, please make sure you have the latest SW run-
ning on the projector. Please go to www.projectiondesign.com to download the current 
SW and update the projector accordingly. See chapter 8 for details on how to upgrade 
the projector SW.
The projector supports up to two X-PORT™ modules simultaneously:
- X-PORT™ 1 for additional image processing (X-PORT™ DCC120*). Left hand side.
- X-PORT™ 2 for additional connectivity (X-PORT™ 3G-SDI, X-PORT™ DisplayPort 1.1a 
and X-PORT™ HDMI 3D*). Right hand side.
*X-PORT™ modules subject to availability.
To attach an X-PORT™ module, please follow this procedure:
A Remove cover plate, by removing the four screws. 
B Attach module. Observe X-PORT™ 1 and 2 positions are different. Attaching X-PORT™ 
modules in the wrong position will leave the module non-functional, but it is not 
destructive.
C Fix the four mounting screws securely.
* Features in the user guide pictures/drawings may be different from your projector depending on model/version.
Finally connect power cord and switch on projector.
The first time after a module is attached, the projector will automatically update and 
configure the module. This may take a few minutes. Please ensure that power  
remains on during this period.

5.7  Using X-PORT™ modules
X-PORT™ modules allows for extra functionality with the projector. This includes more con-
nectivity as well as additional image processing.
Functionality may include extended connectivity (like 3G-SDI and HDMI 3\
D) and additional 3D 
format support (like Blu-Ray frame packed, dual input sources, double flash 3D etc.)
Please refer to Chapter 6.4 for information on multi channel 3D sync.
5.7.1   X-PORT DCC120
X-PORT DCC120 is an X-PORT 1 module (post processing) adding additional 3D capabilities 
and multi-projector synchronization capabilities to the system.
5.7.1.1 3D formats supported
By using X-PORT DCC120 the following 3D format will then be supported:
Dual head input: When “Dual head” is enabled, the projector will combine the signals from 
DVI1 and DVI2 (or HDMI1 and HDMI2), place them beside each other and i\
nterpret it as a 
single source. The two sources need to have the same resolution. For example, if both inputs 
are 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the combined dual head source will be seen by the projector as a 
single 3840x1200 @ 60Hz source. If, now, 3D mode is set to side-by-side, the projector will 
take the left half of this combined image, which is in fact the source on DVI1, and use it as 
the left eye source. The same goes for DVI2 being the right eye source.
Side-by-side: In side-by-side 3D, each input frame is divided in half and the left h\
alf of the 
frame is used as the left eye frame and the right half of the input fram\
e is used as the right 
eye frame. This makes the output width become half of the input width. I\
f, for example, the 
input is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, the output will be 960 x 1200 @ 120Hz.
Frame sequential: n frame sequential 3D, every other frame is interpreted as the left eye 
frame and the other input frame is interpreted as the right eye frame. To ensure that the 
projector chooses the correct frames as the left eye and right eye frames, a 3D sync signal 
should be connected from the IG’s display adapter DIN connector to the projector’s BNC 
sync-in connector. If such a signal isn’t present, the projector will choose the first input frame 
as the left eye frame and the next input frame as the right eye frame. T\
his will be wrong half 
the times the signal is acquired.

In relation to the screen, the projector supports the following installation orientations:
• Desktop front (default)
• Ceiling front
• Desktop rear
• Ceiling rear
To set the image orientation go to menu entry INSTALLATION > IMAGE ORIENTATION
5.10 Using source scan
The projector can automatically scan through all the input connectors for a valid signal. If a 
valid signal is found, the image will set up. This is called source scan.
Source scan is default disabled. When disabled, the projector will only search the selected in-
put connector for a valid signal. Use the keypad, remote control or any command and control 
interface to change in selected input interface.
To set the source scan setting, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > SOURCE SCAN 
5.11 Limiting OSD messages
When detecting sources and using the various features of the projector, OSD messages will 
appear on the screen. Which messages that are appearing can be partially controlled by the 
user. The OSD can run in these modes:
• ON. All messages, warning and information OSDs are displayed.
• OFF. No messages are shown.
• Only warnings. Only critical warning messages like temperature overheating will be shown.
Go to menu entry INSTALLATION > OSD ENABLE to control the OSD behavior.
