1. Safety Instructions
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Overview
• General Safety Instructions
• Module Related Safety Instructions
This manual is intended for the user/operator of the installed digital video distribution system. Any change
in cabling or servicing of the installed modules must be performed by service personnel having appropriate
technical training and experience necessary to be knowledgeable of potential hazards to which they are ex-
posed in performing a task, and of measures to minimize the potential risk to themselves or other persons.
1.1 General Safety Instructions
Lightning
For added protection for this video distribution system during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the power cord. This will prevent damage to the modules due to a
lightning and power-line surges.
ObjectandLiquidEntry
Never push objects of any kind into the modules through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the modules yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Servicing
Unplug the modules from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following circumstances:
• If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the modules.
• If the module has been exposed to rain of water.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

1.2.1 Cine VERSUM 120
On cooling
The cooling fans in this projector continue to run for about 1 min. after the projector is turned off. During normal operation, when
turning the power off always use the power down function on the Master or the remote control. Ensure the cooling fan has stopped
before switching off the projector using the power switch.
DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NEVER TURN THE PROJECTOR OFF BY DISCONNECTION THE POWER CORD. FAILURE
TO OBSERVE THIS WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE.
Slots and Openings
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the projector and to
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
Protection from Ultraviolet Radiation
WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY IN THE HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT BEAM. The lamp contained in this product is an intense
source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from the lamp is ultraviolet light which can damage the eyes.

2.1 The Video Distribution Solution
The Cine VERSUM Revolution
Thank you for purchasing the Cine VERSUM system from Barco. You are now at the gates of projection heaven.
The Cine VERSUM from BARCO Home Cinema is the result of a completely new look at home cinema. BARCO has fundamentally
changed the way a home cinema system works, from source to image! We are proud we have fulfilled your demands, with this very
first non-compromise home theater solution ever released.
All the modules of the system form a single transparent solution. The Cine VERSUM Series is not just a new range of products: it
is a future-proof platform that is compatible with all future standards.
What does modular, future-proof, no-compromise mean?
Think of the audio world: in the low end of the market, audio switching, processing and amplification are done within a single unit.
The single unit does it all, and is therefore inherently a compromise “combo”. In the high end of the market however, individual
modules are optimized to do one specific task:
• A pre-amplifier or AV processor.
• A separate power amplifier for all, or multiple power amplifiers for each individual audio channel.
• A digital link between pre- and power amplifier to guarantee a perfect signal transmission.
Barco Home Cinema, with CineVERSUM, brings to the high-end video world what the audio world has been enjoying for many years:
a truly modular solution, with exceptional video quality.
2.2 Overview of the System
Source managing
The Cine VERSUM system allows you to manage your sources in an easy and comfortable way. As the Cine VERSUM Master can
be stored close to your sources, signal loss is limited as much as possible. Once the signal is processed, in a completely digital
way, the high-bandwidth cable allows for non-compromise distribution.
Image 2-1
Source connection
Display linking
Given this one-cable design, we integrated the possibility of chaining multiple display units, one after another. As such, your Cine
VERSUM Master can feed a combination of up to 32 projectors and plasma displays.

3.4.1 General
How to use
The Remote Control allows you to control your Cine VERSUM Master, even when it is built into a cabinet. Indeed, the SL/XL cable
allows for 2–way communication. This means you can point the Remote Control to a display unit and still change the settings of the
Cine VERSUM Master.

Backlighting
When a button on the remote control is pressed, backlight is activated automatically. That allows the user to operate the remote
control in a dark room. Backlight is turned off automatically a few seconds after the last button activation.
If backlight and RC operation indicator lights up too long or continuously, batteries need to be replaced.
Factory address setting of the modules
The factory address setting of the modules is as follows:
Module Individual Address Common Address
Cine VERSUM 120 address <9> no common address
Cine VERSUM Master address <1> common address <0>
Common address: is a fixed address, stored in the module. The module will execute the commands sent by
a Remote Control, programmed with the common address <0>.
3.4.2 Battery Insertion in the Remote Control
Where to find the batteries
The batteries are not placed in the remote control to avoid remote control operation in its package, resulting in a shorter battery life
time.
How to install the batteries
1. Push the cover tab (A) with the fingernail a little backwards and pull upwards the cover top (B). (image 3-5)
2. Slide the cover forwards to remove. (image 3-6)
3. Push the battery body towards the spring and lift it up to remove. (image 3-7)

How to reinstall the address
By removing the batteries, the address in the Remote Control will be set to 0. In case the different modules are controlled separately
(own address), the respective address of the module you desire to control has to be set. To reinstall an address, follow procedure
below:
1. Point the Remote Control to the module of which you want to know the address and press the address button (use a pencil).
(image 3-8)
On the screen appears a message box (image 3-9) indicating the address number. In the graphical display of the Cine VERSUM
Master appears the same message (image 3-10).
2. To adapt the address in the Remote Control, cover the IR transmitting diodes and press the address button once, followed within
the 5 seconds by pressing the corresponding digit button, 1 to 8.
