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.

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 and future 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 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:

6.3. Initial Actuator/LCPM Assembly
6.3.1. Attach Actuator to Horizontal Frame Rail
With the actuator upside-down, attach it
to the horizontal mounting frame rail with
the 4 supplied screws (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Actuator Mounting
6.3.2. Attach LCPM Frame to Actuator
1. Attach the LCPM supporting frame to
the top side of the actuator assembly
with the 2 supplied screws (Figure 7).

2. Connect the LCPM cable from the robot
chain to the connector on the underside
of the LCPM (Figure 8).
Figure 8. LCPM Cable Connection
LCPM Height & Angle Adjustment
When installing the assembly in front of
the projector, use the screws (Figure 9) to
accurately set the height and angle of the
LCPM.
Figure 9. 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 10.

The LCPM must be adjusted
so that it is perpendicular to
the light path exiting the
lens.
Figure 10. Adjust LCPM Tilt Perpendicular to Light Path
6.4. Control Box Cable Connections
Prior to making control box cable connections, mount the control box into the equipment rack
(if desired) using the rack mount accessory. (See top of page 14.)
Assemble and install rack mount assembly into rack.
Remove two screws on the bottom of each side of the control box (left and right, four
screws total).
Slide the control box into the bracket and reinstall the bottom screws on each side, to
secure the control box to the support bracket.
6.4.1. LCPM Cable
Connect the cable from the LCPM robot
chain on the actuator to the control box
(Figure 11).

6.5. Initial Test
6.5.1. Auto Power On
To turn on the control box power
automatically, connect the main
cable from the DC power to a
power outlet.
The LCD display panel indicates
the model name, current system
firmware version, and that it is in a
READY state (Figure 15).
6.5.2. Actuator Operation –
3D Position
Press the 3D button for 2 seconds. The
actuator moves to the 3D position and the
cooling fans start to operate.
The 3D button flashes for 10 seconds
before becoming steady (Figure 16).
Figure 16. 3D Position and Button LED
Indication
6.5.3. Actuator Operation –2D Position
Press the 3D button momentarily to switch off the button LED, then press the 2D button
for 2 seconds. The actuator moves to the 2D position and the cooling fans stop.
The 2D button flashes for 10 seconds before becoming steady.
