2-6 VeRTICal anD hoRIzonTal PosITIon The correct vertical and horizontal position of the projector in relation to the screen depends on the lens type and the screen size. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen. This way, the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned (trapezoidal)\ . The vertical position of the image can be offset – that is moved above or below the optical axis (lens center) by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount with the keypad. The amount of vertical offset available depends directly on the lens installed in the projector and can be slightly limited if horizontal offset has been applied. Vertical offset can also be expressed as the percent of half the image height OR the number of pixels of shift from lens center. Refer to Figure 2.1 for some illustrated examples of vertical offset. Table 2.1 along with Figure 2.2 show the maximum vertical offset of a lens or alternatively, how much of your projected image will appear above or below lens center if the maximum vertical offset is applied using that lens.

2-9 The horizontal position of the image can be offset – that is moved to the left or right of lens center, by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount through software. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can also be expressed as the percent of half the image width – the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center. Refer to Figure 2.3 for some illustrated examples of horizontal offset. See also Table 2.1 along with Figure 2.4 which shows the maximum horizontal offset of a lens or alternatively, how much of your projected image will appear to one side of lens center if the maximum horizontal offset is applied using that lens.

2-11 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.\ CeIlIng MoUnT — The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience. Use only the Wolf CIneMa approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Refer to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided in\ the kit. sPeCIal MoUnTIng — The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance. However, the side-to-side tilt limit of the projector must not exceed ±15 degrees. This tilt limit is required to ensure optimal performance of the lamp. (Figure 2.5.) aDjUsTIng PRojeCT oR heIghT You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly unlevel mounting surface by adjusting the two feet threaded into the front bottom chassis. Turn each foot clock-wise or counterclockwise until the project is level on all sides. folDeD oPTICs In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set — if considering this type of installation call your dealer for assistance.

2-12 Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.6. 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. Just beside these BNCs, the DVI-I connector (INPUT 2) accepts digital or analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog composite video at INPUT 3 or S-Video at INPUT 4 from devices such as VCRs, laser disc players or DVD players. There are also several optional interfaces available for connecting other sources — these interfaces slide into the remaining unused option slot, and can be done while the projector is running. Figure 2.6 Input Panel noTes: 1) See Section 6, Specifications for details regarding compatible inputs. 2) Use high quality shielded cables only for all connections. InPUT 1 consists of five BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The typical connection would be to an RGB source such as a PC, Mac. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green, composite sync, and separate H & \ V syncs. noTe: Depending on your source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as a 15-pin "D" connector for some computer sources). Contact your dealer for details. Connect the sYnC BNC input(s) first. Then connect the red, green and blue source outputs to the ReD, gReen, and blUe BNCs on the InPUT 1 panel. If the source uses sync-on-green, only the red, green, and blue connections are required. If the source provides a composite sync output, connect it to the sYnC input labeled hoR/CoMP. If the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect horizontal sync to the sYnC input labeled hoR/ CoMP and connect vertical sync to sYnC input labeled VeRT. See Figure 2.7.

2-13 Figure 2.7 Connecting RGB and Sync noTes: 1) If for some reason the projector fails to recognize a signal as an RGB signal, specify this Color Space option within the Picture Adjustments menu. See 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). Connect a YPbPr signal (component video) to InPUT 1 or InPUT 2 as shown in Figure 2.8. noTes: 1) If, for some reason, the projector fails to recognize a YPbPr signal, specify this Color Space option within the Picture Adjustments menu. See 3.5, Adjusting the Image. 2) Do not connect digital component signals (known as YCbCr) to INPUT 1. Install an appropriate optional module in INPUT 5 or INPUT 6 for this.

2-14 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). See Figure 2.9. Use the DVI-I connector at InPUT 2 to connect either analog or digital video devices to the projector. When connecting devices that transmit an analog video signal such as VCRs, laptops, and PCs use the DVI cable provided with the projector. Plug the DVI-I (single link) connector end to the projector and the 15-pin VGA connector to the device. Use a cable with DVI-I connectors at both ends to connect devices that transmit digital and analog video signals such as high-quality DVD players, satellite receive\ r and digital cable TVs. noTes: 1) To ensure true digital output from devices that transmit digital signals, connect to the DVI-I connector. 2) DVI loop through is not available unless you have the optional DVI Input Module installed at INPUT 5 or INPUT 6. Optional modules allow you to increase your total number of inputs and/or accommodate different signal types, whether analog or digital. Install in the areas labeled InPUT 5 or InPUT 6. Options include: Serial Digital Input Module - HD (SDI) • DVI Input Module • (standard on XXXX HD models) Dual SD/HD-SDI Module • (standard on XXXX HD models) noTe: See Appendix E – Optional Input Modules for a brief description of each interface.

2-15 As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO communications to the projector, all described below. As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the 3.5mm mini- stereo jack labeled as ReMoTe on the projector’s input panel. Note that response to a Wired Keypad must also be enabled in the Communications menu — see 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for more information. There are two types of serial ports available on the projector: RS232 and RS422. You can connect a device with a serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial communication commands. ConneCTIng Rs-232 The two nine-pin DIN connectors labeled RS232 IN and RS232 OUT on the input panel are dedicated to serial communication (see Figure 2.10). Using the appropriate serial communication cables (see Appendix B) connect the controlling source, such as a personal computer to the RS232 IN connector. Then set the baud rate to match that of the computer. Refer to Section 3 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.
