Introduction
TransVision™ 3 Enhanced(3E) is a High Definition Digital Video Projection sys-
tem comprising of two complementary components: a High Definition Video
Projector featuring Dark Chip™ 3 Digital Light Processing (DLP™) technology
from Texas Instruments and a Digital Video Processor. The TransVision™ 3E
offers an outstanding progressive scan HDTV images with 16:9 aspect ratio
and 1280 x 720 (720P) native resolution.
The TransVision™ Projector may be floor or ceiling mounted and configured
for front or rear projection.
The Digital Video Processor is designed to be located at the video sources.
It accepts a total of 10 video inputs, provides source switching, digital video
processing of analog and digital video sources and delivers a 720p digital
output to the Projector via a proprietary DVI cable.
The ten video inputs include: two HDCP compliant DVI-D; two RGB; two
Component Video; two S-Video and two Composite.
Signal connections between the Digital Video Processor and the Projector
are made through a proprietary DVI cable with a Control Signal. The Control
Signal is used to transmit bi-directional control signals (on, off, lamp status…)
between the Projector and the Processor.
An infrared learning wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects
the input source and adjusts all of the operating controls. The system may also
be controlled from the front panel or from a RS-232 serial port.
IR sensors on both the Projector and the Processor allow the system to be
controlled from either unit.
Video and image settings for each individual video input may be adjusted
and stored separately in the system’s memory. These settings are recalled for
each input and video type when selected.
The TransVision™ 3E determines the video signal type by measuring horizon-
tal and vertical scanning frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined
video source, the TransVision™ 3E selects video and image settings from the
system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i, 580p,
1080i, 540p, and 720p and computer sources VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA.
In addition to predefined video sources, the TransVision™ 3E allows the user
to create up to three new video source memory locations per video input.
For more details on how to create memory location for new video sources
refer to the “Image Setup Menu.”
Two programmable 12 Volt screen trigger outputs are also provided to trig-
ger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift, or other relay activated device.

6
Processor Front Panel Controls
The TransVision™ 3E Processor front panel controls include:
• A POWER button to turn the system On or Off.
• An indicator light (LED) which is lit when the unit is turned on and blinks when
a valid IR command is received.
— When the LED is DARK the AC power to the unit is turned off.
— When the LED is flashing On and Off, power is connected and the unit is
in the standby mode.
— When the LED is on the unit is powered on.
— When the LED is flashing fast, this indicates that the lamp failed to ignite.
If the lamp failed to ignite, the lamp may either be burned or hot. In case
the lamp is hot, wait approximately 1 minute to turn the unit on.
• An IR Receiver Window
• A MENU button to display the Main menu or to return to the previous
menu.
•
Up ▲ and down ▼ FUNCTION buttons to sequences through the on-screen
menu options.
• Left ◀ and right ▶ VALUE buttons to adjust values or to move to a sub-
menu.

1. DIGITAL OUTPUT (DVI )
Connect the digital video output from the processor to the projector using
DWIN’s DVI-D cable.
Special Note about In-Wall Installations and Cable Lengths:
A standard rectangular DVI connector is fairly large in size (approximately 2”
wide) making it difficult to run through the walls. DWIN’s solution is to termi-
nate one end of the DVI cable with a .75” circular connector that can easily run
through a 1” conduit (figure 1).
DWIN offers a series of unique (DVI-D-xx) cables in six different lengths: 25,
30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 feet. Part numbers for these cables are DVI-D-xx, the “xx”
refers to the length of the cable. Part numbers for these cables are DVI-D-xx,
the “xx” refers to the length of the cable. For cable lengths longer than 50 feet,
use DWIN’s Cable Extender. The cable extender operates with DVI-R-xx cables
and are available in 25, 35, and 50 Feet lengths
Fig. 1: DVI Cable with Circular Connector
2. DVI-D INPUTS
The DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs are HDCP compliant for High-Definition (480p,
580p, 720p, 1080i) sources or computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, and
WXGA resolutions. For computer graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, or WXGA
it is recommended to set the computer to 60 Hz vertical frequency.
If your computer video card has DVI output, connect the DVI cable to the DVI
1 or DVI 2 inputs of the Digital Processor. Select the corresponding DVI input by
pressing “9” or “0” on the remote control, then activate the DVI output from
the computer by using computer’s display set-up menu.
