2. Warnings and Cautions
2.1. Installation Consideration
When planning installation of the MI-WAVE3D, ensure that the largest image
possible is projected onto the liquid crystal polarization modulator (LCPM).
The image width should be between 155mm and 165mm and centered on the
LCPM, as shown below.
2.2. Heat Damage
To avoid burning the polarizer film of the LCPM during the installation and setup
procedure, maintain the image size shown below and use lower intensity test
patterns.
2.3. General Electrical Safety
Disconnect the power cord before servicing or opening the control box for any
reason.
2.4. General Handling
Avoid touching the LCPM with bare hands. Handle the assembly by the frame only.
Image Width on LCPM
155 ~ 165mm

3. System Overview
3.1. The Next Wave in Digital 3D Projection
Key Features:
MI-WAVE3D Liquid Crystal Polarization Modulator is an 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.
MI-WAVE3D is constructed from two specific Liquid Crystal (LC) panels that are
accurately bonded to ensure effective polarization of the left and right images from the
projector lens.
MI-WAVE3D provides an accurate synchronization function for both current format
72Hz, 24fps, triple flash along with 48fps and 60fps HFR 3D formats.
MI-WAVE3D is perfectly matched to the high quality polarized 3D eyewear produced by
MASTERIMAGE 3D.
MI-WAVE3D consists of Liquid Crystal Polarization Modulator, Actuator and Control Box,
connection cables, and mounting frame.

6. System Setup
6.1. Installation Options
Before choosing the best method for mounting the actuator in front of the projector,
manually hold the LCPM in front of the projection lens so that an image width of
between 155mm and 165mm is visible on the LC panel.
Figure 1. Image Width on LCPM
Decide whether the actuator mounting frame should be fixed to the port wall
(Figure 2) or the projector pedestal (Figure 3).
Figure 2. Port Wall Installation
155 ~ 165mm

Figure 3. Projector Pedestal Installation
6.2. Projector Lens Consideration
You can orient the actuator mounting frame in two directions depending on the
amount of lens extension from the front of the projector.
In general, both NEC and Barco projectors tend to have a shorter lens design than
the Christie models. Orient the actuator mounting frame according to the installation
conditions. See Figures 4 and 5:
Figure 4. Short Lens
Figure 5. Long Lens

6.3. Initial Actuator/LCPM Assembly
6.3.1. Attach Cooling Fan Assembly to LCPM
Attach the cooling fan assembly to the
LCPM Frame with two supplied screws.
(Figure 6).
Figure 6. Fan Mounting
6.3.2. Attach LCPM Frame to Actuator
1. Attach the LCPM frame to the top side
of the actuator assembly with the 2
supplied thumb screws (Figure 7).
Figure 7. LCPM Frame Mounting
2. Make cable connections to the LCPM:
Connect the LCPM cable
Connect the Fan cable
Connect the Sync cable
Connect the Ethernet cable
(Figure 8).

6.3.4. Attach the Actuator Mounting Base
Mount the actuator mounting base to the
actuator mounting bar with 3 supplied
screws. (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Actuator Mounting Base
6.3.5. Attach the Actuator Mounting Plate
Fix the actuator mounting plate on the
bottom of the actuator with 4 supplied
screws. (Figure 11).

6.3.6. Assemble the Actuator Mounting Unit
Fix the actuator mounting plate on the
actuator mounting base with 6 supplied
screws. (Figure 12).
Figure 12. Actuator Mounting Unit
6.3.7. Installation Considerations
LCPM Height & Angle Adjustment
When installing the assembly in front of
the projector, use the screws (Figure 13)
to accurately set the height and angle of
the LCPM.
Figure 13. Height and Angle Adjustment
Screws
IMPORTANT The LCPM must be installed perpendicular to the light path
exiting the lens. The angle of this light may not be the same angle as the
lens itself, so observe the light path from the side to make sure the LCPM is
exactly perpendicular. See Figure 14.
The LCPM must be adjusted so that it is
perpendicular to the light path exiting the
lens.

Light Path

6.4. Initial Test
6.4.1. System Power
Connect the mains cable from the
DC power supply to a power
outlet.
The LCD display panel in the
bottom right corner of the LCPM
indicates ‘00’, this shows that the
system is in a READY state
(Figure 15).
6.4.2. Test Actuator Operation –3D Position
Press and hold the Actuator 3D button for 1
second and release.
The Actuator will transition to the 3D
position with the 3D button LED flashing,
and the cooling fans will operate.
Once in the 3D position the 3D button LED
will be lit solid.
(Figure 16).

second and release.
The Actuator will transition to the 2D
position with the 2D button LED flashing,
and the cooling fans will stop.
Once in the 2D position the 2D button LED
will be lit solid.
