Mounting
There  are  several  methods  for  mounting  the  projector.  Depending  on  your  chosen 
installation,  one  method  may  be  more  suitable  than  another.  In  typical  front  and  rear 
screen  installations  the  projector  can  be  mounted  to  a  secure  and  level  surface,  such 
as  a  table  or  cart.  Carts  are...

Adjusting projector height
To compensate for a slightly unlevel mounting surface, you can modify the height of the 
projector by adjusting the two feet threaded into the front bottom chassis. Turn each foot 
clock-wise or counterclockwise until the projector is level on all sides. See Figure 2.7.

Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.9.
The upper right corner (INPUT 1) typically accepts an 
RGB 
signal from an external analog 
RGB  source,  or  it  can  also  be  used  for  YPbPr  signals  or  additional  video  sources.  The 
DVI-I  connector  (INPUT  2)  accepts  digital  or  analog  display  signals  from  a  computer. 
INPUT  3  accepts  and  analog...

NOTES:  
1) If, for some reason, the projector fails to recognize a signal as an RGB signal, specify 
this Color Space option within the Image Settings menu. Refer to Section 3.5, 
Adjusting the Image. 
2) To connect YPbPr signals – such as from DVDs or analog HDTV sources – to 
INPUT 1, use the red, green and blue BNCs as described in YPbPr Signals (below).

DVI Digital Video
INPUT  3  and  INPUT  4  provide  simultaneous  connection  of  both  a  composite  video 
source (INPUT 3) and an S-Video source (INPUT 4), though typically these connections 
would be made at the DHD Controller. See Figure 2.12.
Use the DVI-I connector at  INPUT 2 to connect either analog or digital video devices to 
the projector. You can connect the DHD Controller here as well; if you do...

2.4  Connecting 
Communications
As  desired,  direct  the  projector’s  IR  remote  keypad  towards  the  projector’s  IR  sensors. 
In  normal  operation,  the  DHD  Controller  will  control  the  projector,  but  for  setup  and 
calibration, use the projector remote.
There  are  two  types  of  serial  ports  available  on  the  projector:  RS232  and  RS422.  The 
RS232  port  is  used  for  communication...

Connecting RS422
If you wish to control the projector with an automation system with RS422 capability and 
a DHD Controller is not used (not recommended), connect a RS422 serial communication 
cable between the automation system and the RS422 port on the projector. RS422 is better 
suited for serial communication over long distances than is RS232 communication.
Use  the  RS422  port  only  if  your  device  has...
