2. Installation guidelines 2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 2.1 Safety warnings WARNING: Before installing the projector, first read the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258) delivered with the projector. Insure that the room can be easily evacuated in case of a lamp explosion. Mercury vapor warnings Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture or lamp explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission.
2. Installation guidelines What about ambient light ? The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material.

6. Advanced What can be done ? The aim here is to always show the resolution of the source independently of the resolution of the LCD panels. This way better image reproduction is obtained since no up or down scaling is done on the source. Note that native resolution refers here to the source and does thus only have sense when handling data sources (greyed out for video sources).

6. Advanced A slider box is displayed Image 6-39 6. Adjust the white peaking to the desired value 6.4.8 Dynacolor™ What can be done? DynaColor™ will eliminate channel-to-channel color variations. How to define color? The CIE chromaticity diagram is one way to plot the colors the human eye can see. Image 6-40 The CIE chromaticity diagram A projector can only reproduce a certain color gamut within this diagram.
6. Advanced Image 6-42 The color gamut of each projector will differ When working with a multichannel setup, these color differences between different projectors can be smoothed out by matching the color gamuts of the different projectors to a Common Color Gamut. Image 6-43 Common Color Gamut The Common Color Gamut In a basic setup with 2 projectors, the perimeter of the Common Color Gamut is described by the 6 points of intersection of the 2 separate color gamuts.

Dynacolor™ g (Light Output) Value The value g in the Dyancolor™ interface represents a relative light output. g=1 is the maximum available light output. Assume we have a projector. L=1 in the Dyancolor™ interface will correspond with a ’maximum full white light’ output of x Lumens.
6. Advanced Important ! In the projectors iD R600 and iD Pro R600 (R9010340 and R9010350) the measuring is done with white peaking = 0. In the projectors iD R600+ and iD Pro R600+(R9010341 and R9010351) however, the white peaking must be 10 during the measurement. The dialogbox shown here are as displayed in the iD R600 and iD Pro R600 (with the field White ).The dialogbox displayed in the iD R600+ and iD Pro R600+ contain the field White+ instead of White.
6. Advanced Image 6-47 3. Assume the second projector has the following measured values.

6. Advanced 4. We start by setting both projectors to the common red coordinate. Tip: Draw a quick sketch of both gamuts as a graphical help. 330 R1 320 310 R2 640 650 660 Image 6-49 Red coordinates for both projectors 5. Display the internal color bar pattern on both projectors. 6. In the desired values, adjust the red coordinate to a common value for both projectors.
6. Advanced Select a coordinate that is present in the common gamut e.g. with the desired values for red set to x=633 and y= 328. 330 R1 Rc 320 310 R2 640 650 660 Image 6-51 Select a coordinate that is present in the common gamut 7.
