2. INTRODUCTION
The COMPACTVIEW CLAN of projectors are the ultimate in high-resolution projectors when
projection on to flat, curved or double curved screens with multiple projectors is the requirement.
The COMPACTVIEW CLAN of projectors are compatible with most data and video sources, both
analogue and digital, and provide the user with outstanding features such as:
•High resolution
•High brightness
•High contrast
•Geometry correction functionality
•Edge blending functionality
•Compact, low weight
•Low noise
•Single Chip DLP technology
•Desktop and ceiling-mountable
This user guide contains important information about safety precautions and the set-up and use
of the projector.
Please read the manual carefully before you operate the projector.
The specifications and functionality of the product may change without prior notice.

3. SAFETY
3.1 Safety
This device complies with relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment for use in
an office environment.
Before using the projector for the first time, please read the safety instructions thoroughly.
3.2 Safety Instructions
Use only the cables and cords supplied with the projector or original replacement cables. Using
other cables or cords may lead to malfunction and permanent damage of the projector
Only ever open the projector to change the lamp. The projector contains no other user
serviceable parts. Refer all repairs to qualified personnel only.
When changing the lamp always replace it with a lamp of the same type and rating.
Make sure that no objects enter into the vents and openings of the set. Do not spill any liquids
on the projector or into the vents or openings of the projector.
Do not look into the projection lens when the projector is switched on. The strong light may
permanently damage sight.
Do not look into the laser beam when activated on the remote control. Laser light may
permanently damage sight. Do not point the laser beam at other people.
Place the projector on a stable surface, or mount it securely using an approved ceiling-mount.
Do not drop the projector.
Always operate the projector horizontally. Operating the projector in other positions may reduce
the lamp life significantly, and may lead to overheating, resulting in malfunctioning.
Always allow ample airflow through the projector. Never block any of the air vents. Never cover
the projector in any way while it is running. Allow for sufficient distance to walls and ceilings to
avoid overheating.
The projector is designed for indoor use only. Never operate it outdoors.
Do not operate the projector outside its temperature and humidity specifications, as this may
result in overheating and malfunctioning.
Only connect the projector to signal sources and voltages as described in the technical
specification. Connecting to unspecified signal sources or voltages may lead to malfunction and
permanent damage of the projector.

4. BEFORE SET-UP AND USE
Be sure you have read the Safety Instructions in chapter 3 before proceeding with the set-up
and use of the COMPACTVIEW CLAN projector.
Unpack the supplied parts and familiarize yourself with the various components.
Remove the lens cap from the projection lens. If you switch the projector on with the lens cap in
place, the lens cap may melt, damaging not only the lens cap itself, but also the projection lens
and surrounding parts.

10. SET-UP
Before any set-up, switch off all equipment.
10.1 Set-up computer
The projector may be connected to up to three computer sources simultaneously, using the
VGA 1, VGA 2 and DVI inputs.
A VGA monitor may be attached to the MONITOR VGA output (for VGA 1 and VGA 2 inputs
only, will not work for DVI or other video inputs).
Sound may be connected for up to two computer sources simultaneously, one for VGA 1
(AUDIO 1), the other for VGA 2 or DVI (AUDIO 2).
Audio output for an external sound system is available through AUDIO OUT. Connecting to
AUDIO OUT will automatically deactivate the internal loudspeakers.

video) and C (composite video) inputs.
Sound may be connected for up to two video sources simultaneously, one for super or
composite video (AUDIO 3), the other for component video (VIDEO 4).

11. GCM -GEOMETRY CORRECTION MODULE
Connect the Control PC (running CompactDesigner or CompactControl) to the projectors
‘Control chain In’ port. The supplied 6 lead cable plugs into the Control PC’s serial port using a
RJ12 6 pin to serial DB-9 female adapter.
11.1 Connecting multiple projectors
Multiple projectors may be connected together in a ‘daisy chain’ by using the input and output
ports on each projector. From the first projector, another 6 lead cable connects between the
‘Control Chain Out’ port and the ‘Control Chain In’ port of the second projector. This chain can
be extended up to the theoretical limit of 255 projectors in a single chain.
