2. Warnings and Cautions
2.1. Installation Consideration
When planning installation of the HORIZON3D, ensure that the auditorium throw ratio is
greater than 1.1:1.
2.2. Heat Damage
To avoid burning the polarizer film of the liquid crystal panel ensure a panel surface
temperature of <80˚F is maintained.
2.3. General Electrical Safety
Disconnect the power cord before servicing the system for any reason.
2.4. General Handling
Avoid touching any optical components with bare hands. Handle the optical head
assembly by the handles only.

3. System Overview
3.1. The New Horizon of Digital 3D Projection
Key Features:
HORIZON3D is a single-projection; three-way beam, liquid crystal based, easy-to-use, high-
quality Digital 3D Cinema System that enables 3D cinema presentation. The system can be
quickly installed in front of the lens of any DLP digital cinema projector.
HORIZON3D’s patented construction three-way beam uses three specific Liquid Crystal (LC)
panels that are accurately bonded to ensure effective polarization of the left and right images
from the projector lens.
HORIZON3D provides an accurate synchronization function for both current format 72Hz,
24fps, triple flash and future HFR 3D formats.
HORIZON3D is perfectly matched to the high quality polarized 3D eyewear produced by
MASTERIMAGE 3D.
HORIZON3D consists of the three-way beam optical head, lift column actuator and
connection cables.

6.1.3. Initial Installation Consideration
3D Position or 2D Position
DOWN
Zero Position
Before moving and re-installing the HORIZON3D, follow
the below steps for your safety.
1. Press the RUN & 3D & 2D buttons (Origin Button) at the
same time and hold for more than 1second then release, the
Lift Column Actuator will drop to the Zero Position
automatically.
2. After pressing ‘Origin Button’ sequence, the 3D position
and 2D position information will be erased from the system
memory, if the 3D or 2D button is pressed the Lift Actuator
Column doesn’t move.
The 3D position and 2D position setting must be re-
memorized before further system operation.
Before positioning or operating the HORIZON3D for 3D and 2D,
take note of the below information.
When the AC Power is interrupted or disconnected suddenly
while the 3D or 2D positioning is operating, the 3D & 2D button
LED’s will blink.
At this time, press the 3D or 2D button and the Lift Actuator
Column will lower to the Zero Position automatically.
The Lift Actuator Column must be lowered to the Zero Position before moving the HORIZON3D.

6.1.4. Setting 3D Position
3D Position
UP
1. With the System Power ‘On’ the 7-segment display will show
“00” on the Control Panel.
If the GPIO SYNC cable is connected with the DLP projector,
then the display will show the sync frequency being output.
(For example, sync frequency is 24, 36, 72, 96Hz etc…)
2. At first installation this position is the Zero Position (factory
state).
3. To enter 3D & 2D position setting mode, press the 3D & 2D
button at the same time and hold for more than 1second then
release.
4. Press the 3D button to activate the Lift Column Actuator and
move the position upwards.
5. When the Optical Head is at the position you want it to be, release
the 3D button.
6. For fine-tuning of accurate 3D position of the Optical Head, short
press 3D or 2D button.
7. To save the 3D position, press RUN & 3D button at the same time
and hold for more than 1 second then release.
Note: If you want to exit 3D or 2D position setting mode, press the
3D & 2D button at the same time and hold for more than
1second then release.
Take care to avoid damaging the projector lens when raising the Lift Column Actuator
