A LightStyle™ Series LS-12HBd Active 3D Projection System consists of the following 
components: 
 The projector (equipped with dual digital video inputs) with optional anamorphic lens 
and lens transport assembly. 
 The DC-300 Dimension Digital Controller™ unit that provides “left-eye” and “right-eye“ 
video signals and the on-screen display (OSD) menu to the projector. In addition, the 
Dimension Digital Controller controls the projector in response to user input via its 
infrared (IR) remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or 
HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages. 
 An Active 3D Emitter that receives a left/right synchronization signal from the projector 
and transmits it to the Active 3D Glasses worn by the viewers. This signal precisely 
controls when left and right fields are visible through the glasses. 
Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The 
following sections describe each one in detail.

2.1 
ProjectorA LightStyle™ Series LS-12HBd Active 3D Projection System can display both traditional 
2D and stereoscopic 3D video content. 
An active 3D presentation requires a specialized video signal source configuration and 
content to be displayed correctly. Images from a stereo 3D video source consist of a 
series of images (called frames or fields) that alternate quickly between two slightly 
different view points, corresponding to a viewer’s left and right eyes.
When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special stereo glasses 
synchronized to the left/right changes, the resulting image appears with the same depth 
and perspective that is sensed in the real world.
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 show the key LS-12HBd components.

POWER BUTTON/STAT US LED
Indicates projector status as follows:
 Solid green = AC power present, ready to turn on (lamp not lit)
 Flashing green = lamp is warming up or cooling down; keypad functions not allowed
 Off = Lamp lit, projector functioning normally
 Alternating green/red = Lamp problem (door open, unable to strike, end of life), user 
intervention likely to fix problem
 Flashing red = Over temperature, user intervention (clear vents, turn on AC) may fix 
problem
 Solid red = Error that requires servicing (fan fail, Power-on self-test fail etc.)

Provides an alternative to using the remote control unit to perform primary lens 
adjustments (focus, zoom and position). 
FOCUS, H/V, ZOOM
Use these buttons to select the type of lens adjustment you wish to make. The default 
function (following a power cycle) is FOCUS. 
Cursor Buttons ( , , , ) 
Use these buttons to perform the selected lens adjustment. These buttons operate as 
follows:
 When adjusting focus, the up ( ) or left ( ) button focuses closer; the down ( ) or 
right ( ) button focuses farther. 
 When adjusting zoom, the up ( ) or left ( ) button zooms in (enlarges the projected 
image); the down ( ) or right ( ) button zooms out (makes the projected image 
smaller). 
 When adjusting lens position (H/V), the cursor buttons move the image in the 
specified direction, assuming the projector is upright. If the projector is inverted 
(ceiling-mounted), the cursor button functions are reversed. 
EXHAUST VENT
Warm air exits the projector through this vent. Ensure that it is not blocked. 
INTAKE VENT
Internal fans draw cool air into the projector through this vent. 
PROJECTION LENS
If needed, a light shield accessory is provided with the lens to minimize stray light 
emissions. (Use it only when the vertical offset is 50% of the screen height or greater.) 
The light shield attaches to the end of the lens.
