Installation Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the RS-440 installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Note Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. Table 3-1. Installation Overview Y For Details, Refer to page...
Installation 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation Type ➤ Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Table 3-2.
Installation Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2.
Installation Vertical and Horizontal ➤ Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Typically (but not always), the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Installation If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. Screen Center 0% 50% Height Lens Shift (0.5 x H) Base plate to lens center = approx. 4" (depending on the amount of lens shift) Y 100% Height Lens Shift (1.0 x H) EL IM IN A R 150% Height Lens Shift (1.

Installation Other Considerations ➤ Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation: • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. • Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers.

Installation 3.5 Mounting the RS-440 There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. Floor Mounting (Upright) ➤ For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the RS-440 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Installation Proceed as follows to connect the RS-440 to your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: 3.6 Connections to the RS-440 • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them. Y To access the connector panel, pull firmly on the cable access cover to open it.

Operation Overscan: Some SDTV/EDTV programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. (For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.) • Overscan Type: There are two overscan types: • Crop adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges. • Zoom adds a factor to the scaling of the source image.
Operation • Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or “noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a VCR. For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image.
