The output is activated (Voltage: 12 Vdc) when the projector is switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the projector is in stand-by mode. You can also use black motirised curtains to delimit the screen when the projected image aspect ratio changes (Fig. 9a).

For front projection, we recommend the use of a screen with black matt borders to contain the projected image. Preferably use a unit gain screen; high gain screens are only effective when used with a small group of viewers close to the screen’s axis. Prevent ambient light shining directly on the screen during projection as this will reduce the contrast of the projected image. Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to interfere with the screen’s characteristics. +12VUSB 1.1R/CrCONTROL (RS232)GRAPHICS RGBC/YB/CbHVS-VIDEOAUDIO OUTHDMI 1REMOTE32S-VIDEOMENUESCINPUT154 0IHDMI 26 Fig. 7 Fig. 8 Fig. 9a The manual lens shift adjustment allows the projected image to be moved vertically, up or down, in relation to the centre of the screen; the maximum adjustment being equal to half the height of the image in either direction (Fig. 9b).

The projected image comes from the input selected when the unit was last switched off (Fig. 12). If a ver y short time has passed since the unit was last switched off, the lamp may not switch on beause it is too hot. Just wait a few minutes for the lamp to cool down sufficiently. Fig. 11 Fig. 12
13 proc3 SWITChING OFF AND RETURNING TO STANDBY With the remote control: press . With the keypad: press . When switching off, the projector goes into stand-by mode and stores the input selection at the time of switch-off. The fans keep running until the lamp cools down (green and red leds on), after which they automatically switch off. Do not switch off the projector with the power switch until the fans have stopped running. 7 CONNECTIONS To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recom- mend the use of good quality “ video cables” to the various signal sources (75 ohm Impedance). Poor quality cables will cause inferior picture performance. For optimum connectivity we recommend you follow these simple steps: - With exception of coaxial RCA/Phono type connectors, always double-check that the plug is inserted the correct way round to avoid damaging the plugs or the sockets on the projector (Fig. 13). - Remove cables by the plug and do not pull on the cable itself. - Avoid tangled cables. - Position the cables carefully to avoid a trip hazard - espe- cially in low light areas.

15 proc3 Fig.14 of the pictures reproduced by the Pro-C3 in the two cases: the deinterlacing performed by the Pro-C3 is often more effective than that performed by the source itself. GRAPhICS RGB - YPrPb This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector. The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or composite H+V synchronisation. hDMI™ HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an uncompressed high definition video signal with a multichannel audio signal and allows exchange of control data between the video source and the Pro-C3. The HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to protect their contents. Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI input, internal processing by the Pro-C3 separates the video information from the audio information. The audio information is made available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in compliance with the S/PDIF standard. You can use a DVI-D > HDMI adapter cable to connect the DVI-D signal from a source equipped with a DVI-D output. COMPOSITE VIDEO Fit an RCA connector with a Composite Video (CVBS) signal to this input. The output connector on the external appliance is normally coloured yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO. Other signal and socket formats may be preferable (because they give better image quality), but this type of output socket is still the most commonly used, and nearly all television receivers, video recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. use it. S-VIDEO Fit a mini-DIN connector with an S-Video signal to this input. The corresponding output at the external device is normally identifiable by the labels S-VIDEO or Y/C. This type is nearly as common as Composite Video, and is preferable to the latter, since it gives higher image quality. RGB/YPrPb These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors. RGB and Component signals can be applied to each set of connectors. RGB signals can have composite synchronisation on the green signal (RGsB), or on the HV signal. Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R, G, B inputs of the Pro-C3 (taking care not to invert the positions) and any synchronisation signals to the HV. When hooking up, use the colours of the RCA connectors as an aid as follows: the R connector is red, G is green, B is blue and HV is white. You can use a SCART to RCA adapter cable to connect the RGB signal from a source equipped with a SCART output to this input. The Component signals connect to the Y, Pr and Pb inputs: take care that the inputs correspond to the outputs on the source device. Since these can be labelled differently, refer to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between the various signals. As indicated in the table, the colours of the connectors can also be of help. Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressive scanning) can be applied to this input. Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter- laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality 1 2 3 4 56
16 proc3 RS232 INTERFACE CONNECTOR The projector can be controlled from a PC: simply hookup the interface connector to a PC ’s RS232 serial cable or to a PC's USB 1.1 cable. Do not place objects between the remote control and the receiver on the projector, as this can prevent the remote from working. 764# 3$S$0 /530 - 3 4 (3 1)* $4 3( #$:#$ C)747*%&0 6%*0 0 65) %.* 3&.05&47*%&0. &/ 6&4$*/ 165)% .*0I 12 MOTORISED SCREEN OUTPUTS +12V USB 1.1R/Cr CONTROL (RS232) GRAPHICS RGB C/YB/CbHV 3 12 Volt The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12 Vdc) for motorised projection screen and screen masking systems, used for masking off the projection area to match the projected image aspect ratio (Fig. 15). The +12V output is activated when the projector is switched on (blue LED on) and is de-activated when the projector is in standby mode (red LED on). The output can be set with the “Screen control” adjustment in the “Aspect ” menu. This output allows reduction in the area of a 16:9 screen, into a 4:3 format, by activating a horizontal screen masking system. Fig. 15Fig. 16 +- +-+- +- 8 REMOTE CONTROL The remote control requires four 1.5 V batteries, size AAA. Insert the batteries, taking care to match the polarity, as indi- cated in the batter y compartment in the handset (Fig. 23). Change the batteries in the remote control if experiencing difficulty in sending commands to the projector. Remove batteries from the remote control if it is not to be used for a long period of time. The batteries are prone to leak and corrode the remote control’s circuits. The remote control sends commands to the projector via infrared signals. The projector is equipped with an infrared sensor on its front panel and can therefore be controlled by pointing the remote control towards the projection screen; the IR beam reflects off the screen towards the projector (Fig. 17). There is another infrared sensor in the rear of projector. 4 batteries 1.5 VAAA size Fig. 17 +12V USB 1.1R/Cr CONTROL (RS232) GRAPHICS RGB C/YB/CbHVS-VIDEO AUDIO OUTREMOTE 3 2S-VIDEO14 RS 232
17 proc3 MAIN MENU To access the main menu of the On Screen Display press the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU- key on the remote control. The main menu is divided into four windows, PICTURE, IMAGE, SETUP and MENU, in which the various adjustments are grouped according to the frequency of use. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig. 19). The various menus only offer the relevant adjustments in ac- cordance with the type of input signal displayed (e.g. certain typical adjustments for video signals, not necessar y for graphic signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa). Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and C ONTRAST) are associated with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits using the ◀ and ▶ keys. For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can choose between two options presented on the same line and selectable using the keys ◀ and ▶ Fig.20a/b . Picture ContrastColourTint SharpnessFilterCinema Mode 50505032Off AutoAutoNoise Reduction Brightness60 INPUTS The input selection menu is called by pressing 0 on the remote control or with the keypad SOURCE key. To select an input, scroll through the list with the ▲ e ▼ keys until the required input is highlighted, then press ▶. Display of the input selection menu is terminated by pressing the ESC key or when the On-Screen Menu display timeout in- terval (set in the Menu Setup) has elapsed orr after the signal's recognising. The inputs can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15 kHz, 32 kHz or higher. The input and type of signal (RGB or YPrPB) are set in the pull down menu at the right of the symbol < a seguito della pressione del tasto ◀ (Fig. 18). HDMI 1-2 input can receive the signals from DVI-D sources. During the short time it takes to find the signal, a box appears showing the signal requested. As soon as the signal is shown in the box additional information is displayed concerning the video standard (for video signals) or resolution (for graphic signals), format and the eventual user's memorie. This informations can be recolled by pressing numerical key that it corresponds at the selected source. In the SETUP menu you can select whether to display this infor- mation or not; for further information see SOURCE INFORMATION in the MENU section of chapter ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 2 S-VIDEO 4 GRAPHICS RGB 3 COMPONENT / RGBS 1 VIDEO 1 234 S-VIDEO 3 GRAPH RGB 9 COMP RGB 5 VIDEO 1 55HDMIHDMI 5 Imputs ACTIVE NAME YesNo 66HDMIHDMI 6 Fig.18 9 ON SCREEN MENU All system functions can be operated from the keypad or remote control, with the aid of a complete, user-friendly on screen menu.

19 proc3 NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture. ANAMORPHIC: correctly displays a 16:9 image. LETTERBO x: serves to display a 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. PANORAMIC: widens the 4:3 image and cuts off a strip from the top and bottom. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the Display. SUBTITLES: raises the image, thus making space for subtitles. P Ix EL TO PIx EL: runs a pixel to pixel mapping of any image, without adapting to the screen. The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its horizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands. USER 1, 2, 3: use this option if none of the others are satisfactor y. The User formulas give you the ability to continuously adjust the picture size horizontally and vertically. COLOR TEMPERATURE Changes the colour balance of the image. The colour temperature setting is made by setting the white point in the CIE chromaticity diagram. The system enables you to set the white point in a grid of 36 points in the neutral colour zone (Fig. 23). Moving it horizontally changes the correlated colour tempe- rature, with the low temperatures to the right (more red) and high temperatures to the left (more blue). The points on the lowest horizontal line (Fig.24) represent the colours on the black body curve. There is 4 predefined colour temperature setting and another USER setting that allows the manual regulation. - HIGHT - MEDIUM - LOW - LIGHT BOOST (no correction, maximum possible light) - USER Selecting the NO option causes the de-interlacer to apply a Motion compensated algorithm optimized for video camera signals. NOISE REDUCTION This adjustment serves to select the noise reduction filter va- lue. In this latter case, simply click on the slider and set the value with the ◀ and ▶ keys on the remote control. IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, magnification etc. A SPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically applied the next time the relative source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the key , or by pressing and a numerical key (1...8).The following aspects are available: Brightness Contrast VideoS-Video RGBSYCrCbRGB GraficoHDMI™RGBS 15kHz YCrCb 15kHz Adjustments Inputs Colour-- - - - - - -- - - - - - -T int Sharpness Sharpness Mode Filter Present only if the V ideo Standard is NTSC Cinema Mode Video T ype Noise reduction Flesh tone correction - - - - - - - - - - - - -
20 proc3 There are 4 sets of gamma curves: Standard (ST), Enhanced SIM2 (EN) and Graphics (GR), User. The Standard curve has been defined for general use, and is set for videocameras, digital cameras, and for viewing films or photos on your PC. The Enhanced set is suitable for watching movies. The Graphics set is suited to displaying synthetic graphics (PC, CAD, PC presenta-tions, etc.). User enables you to define your own curve. You can thus select the coefficient which determines the curve. ST1 For general use ST2 ST3 ST4 ST5 EN1 Suited to displaying images from videoca-meras, digital cameras or TV studios in high ambient light. EN2 Suited to displaying images from videoca-meras, digital cameras or TV studios in low ambient light. EN3 Suited to displaying cinematographic material in high ambient. EN4 Suited to displaying cinematographic material in moderate ambient. EN5 Suited to displaying cinematographic material in controlled ambient light. G1 Suited to displaying graphic images (e.g. Win-dows desktop) in moderate ambient light. G2 Suited to displaying graphic images in mode- rate controlled light. Table 5 - Gamma correction settings Gamma functions Standard Gamma functions Enhanced SIM2 Gamma functions Graphics The colour temperature is constant on the vertical lines, but is more or less different from the black body curve. This means that the higher points of the graph are more green. On the contrar y, the lower points of the graphic yield a more purple image. GAMMA CORRECTIONDetermines the system’s response to the grey scale, empha-sising or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image. The projector has a range of gamma functions which enable you to display any image to the best effect for the type of video source, the ambient lighting and your subjective pre-ferences. )NFINITY 8 9 Fig. 21 Green Blue Red Fig. 22 x= 0,282y= 0.320T= 8700K= 0,015 x yuv
