◦ Memories ◦ 3D Controls (3D Mode and Input Formats) Operation The Lumis 3D-S projector has two IR receivers, one on the front and one on the back of the unit. The operative range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.). Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver you are pointing to. You can point the remote control towards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the screen towards front IR receiver of the projector.
Connections ❶ ❷ ❼ Inputs ❶ HDMI 1 HDMI 2 ❸ ❹ ❺ ❻ ❽ Accept both HDMI and DVI digital video inputs. ❷ Components/RGB-HV Four RCA connectors. They accept both standard and high-definition component (YPrPb) and RGB-HV signals. Also used as RGB input for SCART RGBS signals. Control/ Service Outputs ❸ Video One RCA connector. Accepts composite video signals. Also used as composite sync input for SCART RGBS signals. ❹ Graphics RGB One D-Sub 15-pin female connector.
3D IR Emitter The 3D infrared emitter is designed to be placed near the projector and aimed at the screen. It receives the 3D sync signal from the projector and emits infrared pulses that bounce off the screen and the walls to reach the 3D glasses infrared receiver. Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content. 3D Glasses When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession.
3 Installation This section provides instructions for the installation of the Lumis 3D-S projector. Important: Installation procedures should be performed by a qualified AV system specialist. Location When installing the Lumis 3D-S projector, take the following considerations into account.
Ceiling Mounting Invert the projector and suspend it from the ceiling using a specific bracket. • To fit the bracket unscrew and remove the 3 rubber feet • Attach bracket by using 3 x M6 screws not exceeding 15 mm in length For ceiling mounting use only SIM2-approved ceiling brackets and adhere to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided with the bracket. Do not over-tighten the screws.
If it is not possible to position the projector perpendicular to the projection screen (so that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other) you can use the mechanical lens control at the top of the projector to shift the projected image vertically: • insert the provided hex wrench into the vertical lens shift adjuster • turn the wrench to shift the lens in the desired direction The Lumis 3D-S provides up to 50% of vertical lens shift up. For example, with a 16:9 150 in.
• • • throughout the entire signal path ◦ highest available resolution, because video sources can deliver full resolution content via HDMI only ◦ availability of 3D content, because most 3D compatible sources deliver 3D content from HDMI only ◦ optimization of several image parameters (2D/3D content, color space, aspect, signal range, over scan), thanks to auxiliary information (AVI infoframe) sent by the source device together with the signal.
Note: RS-232 communications are limited to 15 m (50 ft.), whereas USB are limited to 5 m (16 ft.). Triggers Some Home Theater devices can be controlled through a 12 V signal. The projector can output three 12 V (100 mA max) signals: • TRIG1 for motorized screens control • TRIG2 and TRIG3 are for motorized screen masks and anamorphic lens motors control.

Color This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the picture color intensity. When set to zero, color images are shown in black and white. Increase the value until the colors appear natural: suitable references include skin tones and the green in grass in landscape shots. Tint This adjustment controls the purity of colors. Basically it determines the red-green ratio of the picture. Decreasing the value increases the red content of the image, increasing it increases the green content.
DynamicBlack This function improves the level of black and increases the depth and the detail of the image especially in parts with low and medium brightness. DynamicBlack regulates light based on the informative content of the image being projected. Available settings are Off, Video and Movie. Off is recommended when using test pattern for measurement or calibration purposes. PureMotion Activates the motion estimation/motion compensation function, which suppresses motion judder.
Letterbox displays a 4:3 letterbox image (source signal with black bands above and below the picture) in such a way that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect. This aspect ratio is also recommended when using Anamorphic Lenses. • Panoramic widens the 4:3 image cutting 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 moves the image upwards, making enough space for the subtitles to be seen.
