Section 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Overview GraphXMASTER RPMS-D100U/UF, CS50-D100U and CS70-D100U/UF products are based on single chip DLP(Digital Light Processing) technology by Texas Instruments with SXGA resolution. The RPMS-D100U/UF (Rear Projection Module) is a dual lamp projector that has been specifically designed for rear screen projection applications. This purposebuilt projector is designed with a flexible mounting base so that it can be fitted with various mounting systems. It can Figure1.
INTRODUCTION How the projector works in Single or Dual Lamp Modes ' The projector accepts an SXGA input signal from an external source. When in Dual Lamp operation mode, the output from both lamps is directed to a 90° prism. Due to the placement of the prism, in relation to the lamps, only half of the lamps output is reflected and the light that doesn’t fall incident on the prism is passed on to the parabolic reflectors inside each of the lamp modules.
Section 2 Source Setup 2.1. Introduction 2.2. Source Connections This section provides instructions on how to connect various sources to the projector. A variety of external sources can be connected to the input ports on the Electronics Module (EM) main input panel. Figure 2.1. illustrates the differences between EM models D100U (left) and D100UF (fixed frequency shown on right). NOTE: The EM is vertically mounted to the projector’s mounting rails (orientation illustrated in Figure 2.1.).
SOURCE SETUP RGBHV (5 BNCs) ' Input 1 provides 5 BNC connectors for connecting to a variety of sources such as VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, Mac, PowerMac, DEC, Sun, SGI and others. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs. To properly connect RGB sources to INPUT 1 use the table and illustration below (Figure 2.2.). NOTE: Front panel shown for the D100U model – connection is the same for D100UF.

Section 3 Operation 3.1 Introduction This section provides a general overview of the projector and a complete description of the menu system. 3.2 Projector Basics The projector’s modular architecture is best suited for control room and mission critical environments where ease of servicing is a must and down time must be kept to a minimum. A brief description of each module has been provided in this section. Knowing your projector will help you in times where troubleshooting is necessary. Figure 3.1.
OPERATION Electronics Module (EM) The EM module contains the main electronics and input connectors of the projector. Your projector model identifies which type of EM you have D100U or D100UF. Main Input Panel All source connections are made to the main input panel. NOTE: The connectors located on the input panel vary between models. See Section 2.
OPERATION 3.3 Using the Keypad The projector is controlled via an IR remote keypad. The keypad accesses various menus in which settings can be changed and saved into memory (called channels). There are 99 channels in which you can store customized settings for various sources. The IR remote keypad provided in the User’s Kit provides the user with wireless control of the projector of up to 100 feet away. The keypad is operated by 4AA batteries, which require periodic replacement (Section 4).
OPERATION 5. If you press a key while the projector is busy with another action, such as during a power-up, the key press may not take effect. When you turn on the projector it begins operating at presentation level, such as an image from the most recently used source signal. The projector temporarily leaves presentation level whenever you use the keypad to work with control settings, display menus, or on-line help.

OPERATION Cont Bright Proj Contrast Press Cont to change the amount of white in your images. Use and until you reach the desired level of contrast—for best results, start low and increase so that whites remain bright but are not distorted or tinted, and that light areas do not become white (i.e., are “crushed”). Conversely, low contrast causes dim images. See Image Settings. Brightness and Press Bright to increase or decrease the amount of black in the image.
OPERATION Func Function Key From presentation level, press Func followed by a 2-digit number to enable a specific color or colors in the display. For example, Func 6 4 will display only red and green data, Func 6 7 will display all colors data. The list of available color combinations is shown below and also appears on the back of the IR remote keypad. Color enabling can also be accessed through the menu system rather than these shortcuts.
OPERATION Display* and follow immediately with ON or OFF if you want to guarantee the correct toggle (useful if you are unsure of the present status). 3.4 Navigating the Menus Most of the controls for the projector are accessed from within the projector’s menu system. The Main Menu is accessible by pressing the Menu key on the remote keypad. This menu is accessible at any time during operation. From it you can access various other “sub-menus” with related functions.
OPERATION Figure 3.2. General Help Topics Time-outs ' Whenever the projector is not at presentation level, such as when there is a slidebar, menu, message or test pattern displayed, you have limited time in which to make a keypad entry before the projector returns to presentation level and the graphic disappears. These time-outs vary depending on the current display, as shown in the following chart: TIME-OUTS Slidebar (from pres.) 5 seconds Slidebar (from menu) 15 minutes Lamp Timer Msg.
OPERATION DOUBLE SLIDEBARS - In double slidebars, such as the Pixel Tracking / Pixel Phase double slidebar, adjust the top slidebar with or as desired.

NOTE: If you enter a channel number that already exists, a dialog message appears indicating that this number is already in use–assign a different channel number.
OPERATION 3.6 Adjusting an Image Most options for image adjustments can be accessed through two menus: Size and Position ( Menu 1 ) and Image Settings ( Menu 2 ), both of which are listed in the Main menu. While in either of these two menus, you can change settings affecting the image from the current channel by working with the appropriate slidebars, checkboxes and pull-down lists.
OPERATION Resize Presets Applicable only to D100U models - use the pull down menu to quickly display an image in its native resolution (including anamorphic) or to automatically resize an image to closely fit the screen. The value for Size, Position and Blanking parameters (described later) will, in turn, change as necessary without your having to set them manually.
OPERATION such as video connected to INPUT 3 or INPUT 4, produce distorted images that are too tall or too wide. See below. SELECT FULL SIZE to use all pixels for displaying the image, regardless of source or original aspect ratio. See right. NOTE: SXGA resolution shown. SELECT FULL WIDTH to fill the screen from left-to-right for displaying the image. The top and bottom of the image may appear black (similar to a 16:9 image).
OPERATION USING “TILED” RESIZE PRESETS – When you are working with a display wall you will want to resize the image according to the size of your wall. The last four “tiled” resize presets are for this purpose. These options are only available when a display wall has been defined in the Tiling Setup menu. See Working with Multiple Projectors later in this section for instructions on how to define you display wall.
OPERATION Vertical stretch – adjusts the height the image while keeping the width constant. Use Vertical Stretch to display data from the incoming signal in a different aspect ratio. Pixel tracking – adjusts the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
OPERATION Figure 3.11. Adjust Filter NOTE: Filter affects only the current signal. H-Position – This option moves the image to the right or left. NOTE: 1) The value shown represents where the approximate center of the image lies in relation to the total number of pixels available horizontally. This varies widely according to the signal—watch the image while adjusting. 2) SHORT CUT: Press Position and adjust the top slidebar.) V-Position – This option moves the image up or down.
OPERATION NOTE: Unavailable options appear grayed out. Tiling Setup This submenu provides options that will help you define the size of your display wall.

Image Settings ' Use the options available in the two-page Image Setting Menu to alter your image. Options not available are grayed out and cannot be selected.
OPERATION Brightness (SHORT CUT: Press Bright and adjust the slidebar.) Brightness increases or decreases the amount of black in the image (0-100). Start high and decrease so that dark areas do not become black (i.e., are “crushed”). Conversely, high brightness changes black to dark gray, causing washed-out images. For best results, keep close to 50. Pixel Phase – Refer to description in Size and Position (SHORT CUT: Press Pixel and adjust the bottom slidebar.
OPERATION • • Scan-doubled sync-on-green Scan-quadrupled sync-on-green For these signals, change the Color Space to RGB, which defines a new channel for future use. Color Setup Color Setup is a submenu of Image Settings that allows you to modify color saturation and hue, select a preset gamma curve or access a color temperature setup submenu. Note: Color, Tint, and Interpolated Color are not available to D100UF models and appear grayed out in the menu.
OPERATION This setting provides good black levels and high contrast under optimum viewing conditions for virtually all types of images, including video, HDTV and computer graphics. DEFAULT (default) – ENHANCED – This setting elevates middle gray levels compared to Default, and provides a more gradual rolled-off transition to maximum white. Together, these differences can improve the appearance of many kinds of images. This setting elevates low gray levels compared to the Default and Enhanced settings.
OPERATION SELECT COLOR TEMP – The current color temperature is shown in the menu and can be changed here just as in the Color Setup menu. When a User color temperature is selected, the White Level and Interpolated options are disabled and can be adjusted to create your own color temperature. INTERPOLATED COLOR – Use this option to increase or decrease the value of Interpolated Color if you need a specific color temperature somewhere in between two preset color temperatures.

To use a factory default: The preset color temperature setups (3200K, 5400K, 6500K and 9300K) can be altered from within the password-protected Service menu only—note that although such an alteration changes the setup and appearance for a preset, it does not change its name.
OPERATION - Enter a checkmark to terminate the video inputs 3 and 4 (75 Ω). The input should be terminated unless the signal loops through (continues) to another projector or display device, in which case only the last projector in the chain should be terminated. VIDEO TERMINATION ENABLE DECODER AGC -The AGC, “automatic gain control” affects decoded video images only. Enter a checkmark (default) for most decoded video sources—this activates the AGC circuit to ensure properly bright images.
OPERATION prefer to use the Input Levels menu (see Figure 3.15). These adjustments, which are actually a calibration process to compensate for differences in sources and cabling, enables an experienced user to perfect the source image input levels. Note that input levels are of limited use with digital signals, but offer some ability to tweak poorly mastered source materials. AUTO INPUT LEVEL – Keep Off for virtually all sources (default).
OPERATION NOTES: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color temperature used. 2) Assuming that color temperature has been set up based on the internal test patterns, you can then set up input levels for a given source so that it matches the color temperature of the internal test patterns.

OPERATION accidentally disabling the wired keypad during use. Use the IR remote keypad to select OFF. The projector will no longer respond to the wired keypad. BROADCAST KEY - Enter a checkmark if you want keypad commands sent to one projector to be relayed to all projectors in a network. Note the Proj key will temporarily override the effect of a broadcast setting and allow you to control a specific projector when necessary. Make sure to remove the checkmark if using the split network feature.
OPERATION 3.9 System Status This read-only menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently in use on the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware (left side) and software (right side) installed, the number of lamp hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, switcher, slot and frequencies. Use 3.
OPERATION 3.11 The Lamp Menu The Lamp menu is accessible from the Main menu (item 5). It is comprised of read only information, options and sub menus.
OPERATION level is reached for both lamps. The power level you select will remain constant throughout operation. In general, dimmer images are produced when power levels are low. Specifying the maximum power level (120W) in this mode is the same as operating in Max Brightness mode. Figure 3.27. LAMP OPERATION - One of the key features of the projector is that it can be operated with one or two lamps on. From the pull down list, select the lamp operation mode you want to operate the projector in.
OPERATION Figure 3.29. Relation between Lamp Operation Modes and Brightness A Note About Switching Lamp Operation Modes The projector is designed with two lamps so that it can potentially maintain constant light on the wall. It automatically detects a failed lamp and responds by switching lamp operation modes and turns the other lamp on. You may see a brief period of no light on the wall until the new lamp is ignited and a gradual increase to full brightness.
OPERATION Figure 3.30. LAMP HOURS – This read-only information indicates the number of hours logged on the current lamp. Whenever you record a new lamp serial number, this value automatically resets to “0”, where it begins to log time for the new lamp. NOTE: You can also check Lamp Hours in the Status menu. LAMP S/N – This read-only information displays the serial number recorded for the current lamp.
OPERATION IMPORTANT Always record the serial number of a NEW lamp. LAMP OPERATION – This option is the same as in the Lamp menu. It appears again in the submenu for convenience. 3.12 Using Multiple Projectors When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 or RS-422 serial ports to chain the projectors together in a network that you control from either a keypad or a computer/controller (see 2.9, Serial Port Connections).
OPERATION Defining a Display Wall ' Tiling Setup Enabled for D100U models only, the Tiling Setup menu allows you to define the size of your display wall and identify the location of each projector within. NUMBER OF ROWS – Set the number of rows in a display wall by adjusting the slidebar. Range: 1 to 4 NUMBER OF COLUMNS – Set the number of columns in your display wall.
OPERATION notice a slight posterized or banded effect in images. 6) It is recommended that you look at your primary colors again after installing a new lamp or if there is a change in the lamp operation mode (this occurs automatically if a lamp fails during operation). Step 1: Preliminary Setup 1a) Set up and optimize all projector settings – It’s not important to set up color temperature at this point. It is however, important to try and get all other projector settings as close to perfection as possible.
OPERATION Figure 3.32. Enabling Primary Color Adjustment 2b) SELECT A “USER” COLOR TEMPERATURE (“USER 1” RECOMMENDED) (Figure 3.33.) In the Adjust Primary Colors (CSC) menu, select a “User” color temperature that you will be defining through your adjustment of primary colors on each projector.
OPERATION 3f) ADJUST WHITES – Exit the main Adjust Primary Colors (CSC) menu to view all white fields once more. If necessary, adjust white levels to match all white fields. All screens should now be color matched. For each projector, the settings define your chosen User color temperature. For best results, set all projectors to the same lamp Power (100W recommended) – light output from each will be maintained over time to within 10% of the current level.
OPERATION STEP 1: General Setup 1a) Adjust primary colors (see Matching Colors in Multiple Screens). This ensures matched overall color temperatures and light output between screens. IMPORTANT Double-check that all WHITES and LIGHT OUTPUT are well matched. See Step 3f of Matching Colors in Multiple Screens procedure. Use a color meter if necessary. 1b) Enable Brightness Uniformity by entering a checkmark in the checkbox.
OPERATION ◊ ◊ the screen) enough. In the White Uniformity menu Overall should be set to 50.0 or less. Do not exceed 50.0 – a higher level will interfere with achieving brightness uniformity and is not recommended. Adjust corner White Uniformity last – each corner adjustment affects only this quadrant. Repeat for each screen.
OPERATION No Signal The message "No signal" appears when there is no signal detected at the selected input. Both HSYNC and VSYNC are inactive and the screen background is black. Connect or correct the signal, or select another input. Bad Sync The message "Bad Sync" is displayed when HSYNC or VSYNC are active but the signal cannot be displayed. Such a condition occurs when only one of the two signals is present, or when either signal is unstable or of the wrong frequency.
OPERATION The specific pattern of flashing indicates the 2-digit code identifying the type of problem encountered—the number of yellow flashes represents the first digit and the number of red flashes indicates the second digit. For example, a pattern of “yellowyellow-red-red-red” is “Code 23”, meaning the lamp ballast (power supply) is overheated. These codes are listed in Table 3.2. Table 3.2. System Error Codes Code Description GENERAL 12 Software bug. Contact dealer/factory. 13 CRC error in flash ROM.
Section 4 Maintenance & Troubleshooting 4.1 Warnings and Guidelines The projector is an internationally approved product designed for safe and reliable operation. To assure complete safety at all times it is important to acknowledge the following precautions while operating the projector. NEVER look directly into the projector lens. The high brightness of this projector could cause permanent eye damage. For protection from ultraviolet radiation, keep all projector shielding intact during operation.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING ◊ Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand or table. A projector and cart combination should be used with care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the projector and cart combination to overturn. Lamp ' The two identical 100W UHP lamps should be replaced when they have reached their end of life, or have failed during operation.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING ◊ Do not place the projector over a radiator or heat register. The projector should not be placed in an enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. ◊ Do not “poke” objects into the ventilation openings of the projector. They may touch dangerous voltages or short-out components resulting in a fire or shock hazard. Do not spill liquids of any kind into the projector.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Table 4.1. Maintenance Guide Part Description Frequency How to clean As required Clean if absolutely necessary. A small amount of dust on the lens has very little affect on picture quality. To clean: Apply a solvent such as Acetone, Alcohol or Vinegar sparingly to clean, lintfree lens tissue. Wipe in single sweep across the surface of the lens. Do not scrub or rub tissue in circular motion, this will scratch the lens. Do not reuse tissue.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Replace the batteries in the keypad when required. Use 4 AA size alkaline batteries. 4.3 4.4 Replacing Keypad Batteries Lamp Replacement To replace batteries: 1) Turn the keypad over to access the compartment at the back of the keypad. 2) Push the small tab in and up to lift the cover completely off. 3) Remove the batteries. Discard using appropriate methods. 4) Insert new batteries in the correct orientation - refer to the drawing Figure 4.1.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING About the Lamp Hot-Swap Feature The projector is designed with the ability to remain operational during lamp replacement. You can replace a single lamp without having to power down the projector. In this case, it is strongly recommended that you switch to the single lamp mode for the lamp that you are not replacing. For example, if you want to replace Lamp 1, switch to the Single, Lamp 2 mode of operation.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Replacing a Lamp 1) TURN PROJECTOR OFF: If your presentation allows, it is strongly recommended that you power down the projector prior to replacing a lamp. Press Power* to power down the projector. The projector fans will continue to operate for a short cool-down period. It is recommended that you wait approximately 5 minutes to allow lamps to cool before replacing.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 3) REMOVE LAMP: Loosen the two screws securing the lamp in the lamp module. Holding the lamp door open with one hand, grasp the lamp handle and pull straight up to remove the lamp. (Figure 4.3. and Figure 4.4) The lamp disconnects from the terminal block much like unplugging something from an outlet. Figure 4.3. DO NOT touch the glass surface of the lamp. Set it aside for proper disposal once it has cooled down. Figure 4.4.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4) INSERT NEW LAMP: a) Hold the new replacement lamp above the lamp compartment. Align the two holes on the lamp module with the locating pins located on the edge of the lamp compartment. See Figure 4.5. Figure 4.5 b) Slide the lamp all the way down until it is fully seated into the compartment. See Figure 4.6. Figure 4.6. Inside the Lamp Compartment c) Tighten the two screws on the lamp module just until snug to hold it in place.

From the submenu, select the Change Lamp option. Enter the new serial number in the Lamp S/N text box. When the new number is recorded, the lamp timer will automatically reset to “0” hours and begin to log time.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 8. Is the “Status” LED flashing a pattern of yellow and red lights while the “Power” LED is steady red? This indicates an internal system error that may prevent the projector from operating. If the problem persists contact a qualified service technician. Symptom ' The projector does not respond to the infrared remote keypad… CAUSE / REMEDY: 1. Check to see if the wired keypad works. If yes, check that the correct protocol is used for that keypad. 2.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 3. The gamma setting may be inadequate. It is recommended that the “default” gamma setting be used for most sources. 4. The projection room may be too bright. Limit the amount of light reflecting off the screen. 5. Ensure the projector is not too far from the screen. 6. Is the screen being viewed from the best angle? Check seating plans and viewing angles. 7. Ensure the source is only terminated once. 8. The source (if non-video) may need sync tip clamping.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 3. Is the video input signal properly terminated? Set in Image settings – Video Options menu. 4. The screen size may be too large. As screen size increases, magnification increases, reducing brightness and clarity. See lens specifications in Section 5. 5. The source input signal may be of low quality. Try another source. Symptom ' Colors in the display are inaccurate… 1. The color, tint, gamma, color space and/or color temperature settings may require adjustment.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom ' There is noticeable flicker effects in the display… 1. Try turning the Lamp Conditioning option (Lamp menu) ON. If the entire image is showing signs of flicker, it may be due to the inherent characteristic of the UHP lamps. Turning Lamp Conditioning ON should gradually reduce this effect. 2. Are you using an external signal with low frame rates (<48Hz)? Turn Lamp Conditioning OFF to improve.

Appendix A Glossary This appendix defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this projector. Also included are other general terms commonly used in the projection industry. Active Line Time ' The time, inside one horizontal scan line, during which video is generated. Ambient Light Rejection ' The ability of a screen to reflect ambient light in a direction away from the "line of best viewing". Curved screens usually have good ambient light rejection.
Appendix A: GLOSSARY Checkbox ' A menu item that indicates whether an option is currently in effect (checked) or not (unchecked). Color Shift ' A change in the tint of a white field across an image. Color Temperature ' The coloration (reddish, white, bluish, greenish, etc.) of white in an image, measured using the Kelvin (degrees K) temperature scale. Higher temperatures output more light. Component Video ' See YCbCr or YPbPr.
Appendix A: GLOSSARY screens with gain more than 1 direct more incident light to the audience but have a narrow viewing angle. For example: An image reflecting off a 10 gain screen appears 10 times brighter than it would if reflected off a matte white wall. Curved screens usually have larger gain than flat screens. Help Screen ' A display of help information regarding the current task or presentation. Horizontal Frequency ' The frequency at which scan lines are generated, which varies amongst sources.
Appendix A: GLOSSARY Line of Best Viewing ' When light from a projector is incident on a screen, the light reflects from the screen such that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. The Line of Best Viewing is along the line of reflection. Loopthrough ' The method of feeding a series of high impedance inputs from a single video source (Loopthru) with a coaxial transmission line in such a manner that the line is terminated with its characteristic impedance at the last input on the line.
Appendix A: GLOSSARY Resolution (lens) ' The maximum number of alternate white and black horizontal lines that can be distinguished on a screen when a photographic target is placed between the lens and a light source and illuminated by that source. Resolution (projector) ' The maximum number of pixels that the projector can display horizontally and vertically across an image, such as 1024 x 768 (called XGA).
Appendix A: GLOSSARY 3) "Separate sync" or "H.SYNC and V.SYNC": the horizontal and vertical components of the sync are on two separate cables. Sync Width ' The duration of each sync pulse generated by a computer. The sync width is part of the blanking time. TTL Video ' A type of RGB video with digital characteristics. Throw Distance ' The distance between the front feet of the projector and the screen. Also called "Projector-to-Screen Distance”.
