Introduction
TransVision™ is a high quality video projection system comprised of two complementary components,
a DLP™ Projector and Controller.
The Controller unit provides source switching for nine different video inputs, including three component,
two composite, two S-video and two RGB H & V Sync inputs and should be installed near its video
component sources.
The DLP™ Projector may be mounted on either floor or ceiling, and may be configured for front or rear
projection.
Signal connections between the Controller unit and the DLP™ projector is made by industry standard
five 75 ohm coaxial cables with BNC connectors for RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC AND CONTROL
signals. The CONTROL cable is used to transmit bi-directional control signals between the DLP™
projector and the Controller unit. The CONTROL cable must be connected in order the system to
function properly.
Two composite video inputs (V1, V2) and two S-Video inputs (S1, S2) are provided for NTSC (480i) or
PAL (580i) video sources, such as off-air tuners, satellite systems, cable boxes, VCR and DVD players.
S-Video inputs are highly recommended for use with DVD players and satellite systems.
Three component video inputs (Y,Cr, Cb) are provided for regular DVD players (480i, 580i), progressive
DVD players (480p, 580p) and HD (480p, 540p, 720p, 1080i) sources.
Two RGB inputs are provided for HD (480p, 580p, 720p, 1080i ) sources and computer graphics with
VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolution.
An infrared 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.
Both units, the projector and the controller, have IR sensors, allowing 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 restored for each input when selected.
The TransVision™ determines the video signal type by measuring horizontal and vertical scanning
frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined video source, the TransVision™ selects video
and image settings from the system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i,
580p, 1080i, 540p, and 720p.
In addition to predefined video sources, the TransVision™ 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 “Image Setup menu”.
Two 12 V screen trigger outputs are also provided to trigger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift,
or other relay activated device.

Physical Mounting Instructions
Physical and electrical installation of the TransVision™must be performed only by a trained
professional who is knowledgeable about both the specifics of the TransVision™and the requirements
of the local building and electrical codes in your state.
Physical installation of the TransVision™may be divided into three steps:
1. Pre-installation planning, which includes plotting the projector-to-screen distance. This requires
knowledge of the screen size and placement. From this step you will determine where the projector
is located.
2. Location of the installation position and preparation, including drilling holes and assembling the
mounting hardware.
3. Installation of the ceiling mount bracket and placing the projector in the mount.
Once the physical installation is complete, the unit should be properly adjusted for focus using the lens,
for positioning using the physical adjustments made possible by the mounting hardware and for size
and centering using the electronic adjustments in the menu control system.
PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
Before starting the installation you will need to calculate the projector to screen distance and the ceiling
to picture-start offset. The throw distance and the precise center of the screen are then used to
determine the exact location for the physical installation of the projector.
Throw Distance O

Screen Width

- 17 of 23 -
Throw Distance Calculation
The TransVision’s™zoom lens allows for a wide range of throw distance options – the distance from
the projector to the screen. For maximum flexibility in adjustment we recommend that, where possible,
the projector be installed in the middle range of the possible distances. However, the unit may be
installed at any point within the allowable range.
qTo obtain the minimum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 1.4.
qTo obtain the maximum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 2.2.
Screen Offset
The screen offset is the distance between the top of the picture area of the screen and the ceiling. This
distance is important and it should be calculated before the screen is installed to ensure proper
positioning of the projector in relation to the screen. Incorrect screen offset may cause image keystone
distortion and cannot be compensated either with the mounting system or electronically.
Screen offset will vary according to the aspect ratio of the screen and the screen width.
For screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio the offset is within a range of approximately six to eight inches.
For screens with a 16:9 or 15:9 aspect ratio the minimum offset is six to eight inches, and may be
increased using the “V.Position” setting option in the Screen Setup menu. The maximum screen offset
for wide aspect ratio screens may be calculated using the following formulas:
For 16:9 screens, multiply the screen width by 0.19 + 6”
For 15:9 screens, multiply the screen width by 0.15 + 6”
Note that the mounting system enables you to make small adjustments to the vertical tilt without
introducing visible keystone distortion.
For floor-mounted installations the picture offset is the distance between the mounting surface of the
projector and the bottom of the picture. In order to deliver pictures that are free of keystone distortion,
be certain to calculate the offset distance before ordering screens and/or cabinetry. Although some
adjustment range is available in floor mounted systems by using the adjustable feet, it is always better
to use the least amount of mechanical adjustment necessary.

Ceiling Mount Preparation
Once the throw distance has been calculated and the screen installed, the next step in the installation is
to locate the precise mounting position of the projector.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before proceeding further with the installation, make certain that video
signal/control wiring and AC power have been run to the projector location. Keep in mind that the
connections to the projector are at the front of the unit, so you should place them slightly to the front
and right or left of the “A” point established above.
Also note: that the ceiling must be capable of safely supporting the weight of the projector and mount,
which is in excess of 25 pounds.
CEILING MOUNT INSTALLATION AND PROJECTOR MOUNTING
The ceiling mount kit consist of thee parts. Before
beginning the installation process, first identify
each of the three parts of the mounting system as
shown in the diagrams below.
qMount the part “A” to the ceiling, making
certain that the “FRONT” marking facing the
screen.
qPlace Part B inside Part A and then secure the
two pieces together using the four hex head
screws provided, making certain that the
“FRONT” marking facing the screen.
qPlace two center screws on both, left and right
sides of the part “B” and insert them only half
way.
qTurn the projector upside down and remove
the four feet attached to the projector.
qPlace Part C mounting bracket over the bottom
of the projector, with the “FRONT” marking
facing toward the lens.
qReplace the projector feet through the holes in
the Part C mounting bracket and hand tighten
them until they are secure against the plate
and so that there is no slippage between the
mounting plate and the projector.
qRaise the Part C/Projector assembly and hang
from part ”B” by sliding two center side screws
on part “B” into the “L” shaped groove at the
outer edges of the Part “C” mounting bracket.
Secure the two assemblies together using the
HEX screws on the left and right sides of the
projector.
The projector is now suspended from the ceiling
mount bracket.
Connect the AC Power Cord to the projector and
connect it to an unswitched AC outlet. Connect the
projector to the TransVision Controller using the
five-coax connections previously provided.

When the projector is floor mounted, the use of the mounting hardware is not required. However, you
will need to calculate the throw distance and screen offset as shown in the previous section.
For floor mount installations remember to
calculate the offset from the bottom of the picture
to the floor. If the projector is mounted inside a
cabinet and NOT placed directly on the floor, the
offset is the distance between the bottom of the
projector’s feet and the bottom of the picture.
When the unit is floor mounted, a 1” rubber tube
must be attached to the bottom of the projector in
order to block hot air circulation inside the unit.
Attach the supplied rubber tube near the “out” vent
on the right side of the projector so that exhaust
air is properly channeled out of the unit and away
from the floor.
When the unit is mounted inside a cabinet, be
certain that an exhaust vent is provided so that the
hot air generated by the projector may be safely
removed from the cabinet.

For Floor mount
Before completing the installation, double check all screws, mounting hardware and the projector feet to
make certain that they are securely tightened so that no further movement of the projector/mounting
assembly is possible.
After the physical mounting is complete, horizontal and vertical adjustments are made to center and
align the projected image to the screen. The white field pattern, as described in Screen Set-Up menu
section, is used to make the three dimensional adjustments.
Before these dimensional adjustments can be made, you must:
qTurn system on.
qAdjust the zoom and focus.
qOnce on screen menus can be clearly viewed, go to Screen Set-Up menu.
qSelect the proper screen aspect ratio.
Make the following horizontal and vertical adjustments to align the white field pattern to the screen:

qTo move image left to right, loosen all four feet to rotate the projector. Once desired position is
obtained, tighten all four feet.
qTo move image up and down, loosen hex screws on the left and right side of ceiling mount and tilt
projector. Once desired position is obtained, refasten all four hex screws.
qTo align image parallel to the screen, loosen hex screws on the front and rear of the ceiling mount
and level the projector. Once image is aligned, refasten all four hex screws.
