SERVICING
Do not try to service any BigVizion components yourself. Always
consult your installation professional if any function of the BigVizion
is not operational.
INSTALLATION
If direct sunlight or any type of strong light is directed towards the
BigVizion, there will be a reduction in image quality from the display.
Make certain that strong light is not directed towards your BigVizion.
VIEWING
Picture performance may be affected by your viewing position.
Please follow the following minimum recommended viewing
distances for your BigVizion.
HDBV3100 (100”) : 14 Feet
HDBV3090 (90”) : 10 Feet
HDBV3080 (80”) : 8 Feet
If you are uncertain about viewing distance, consult your installation
professional.
PROJECTION LAMP
The BigVizion is based on DLP®technology by Texas Instruments,
and utilizes a projection lamp for the light source. If you notice the
picture quality diminishing after a long period of use, the projection
lamp may need to be replaced.
(Note: A lamp warning message will appear on your display after 3900 hours
recommending replacement within 100 hours.)
Please consult your installation professional a replacement lamp.
COOLING FAN
The BigVizion uses a system of cooling fans to prevent the build-up
of high temperatures. This may result in hearing noise from the fan in
a very quiet room. Please consult your installation professional with
any questions regarding fan placement.
REMOTE CONTROL DETECTION
Aim your remote control towards the bottom of the screen of your
BigVizion. The remote sensor is placed behind the screen for
detection.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Optoma BigVizion 1080p in-wall display system.
This guide covers basic instructions for the following models: HDBV3100,
HDBV3090 and HDBV3080.
This guide will discuss the day-to-day, normal operation of your BigVizion.
It is recommended you keep this guide available for operational assistance.
A detailed installation manual has been provided to your installation professional.
This manual covers the installation, setup and advanced settings of the BigVizion.
Consult with your installer for any questions regarding the BigVizion and its
operation.
The BigVizion by Optoma is the first customizable and modular in-wall rear
projection display system. BigVizion is available in three sizes: 100-, 90- and
80-inch.
The BigVizion displays stunning images at native 1080p resolution with amazing
color, clarity and sharpness.
BigVizion is designed to be the center of your home entertainment system.
Optoma’s exclusive system controller is designed to be an all digital “set and forget”
system. Once the system is set-up by your installer, the digital controls of the
BigVizion will not require any additional adjustments.
After the installation is complete, you can control of the entire system through the
remote control.
The BigVizion System Consists of Three Components:
1) The Display Unit
2) System Controller Box
3) Remote Control

BigVizion is one of the largest in-wall display systems to feature native 1080p
resolution.
The BigVizion also features exclusive ISFccc modes for custom calibration.
The System Controller Box:
The key component of the modular BigVizion display system is the system controller
developed by Optoma. This controller is a fully-featured, all digital, video processor
designed to create the best image for the BigVizion. The system controller provides
the best source for content switching, image de-interlacing, image scaling, and color
management, in one easy-to-use package.
Optoma developed the system controller to be the center of your home
entertainment center. All video content sources, such as a DVD player, cable box
and others, are easily routed through the system controller. These sources can be
accessed by the remote to control what is displayed on the screen.
The system controller can be installed into several different locations of your home
theater area – even behind the screen of the BigVizion. Work with your installer to
determine the best location.
Remote Control:
Operation of the BigVizion is managed by the remote control, such as:
- Powering the BigVizion system on/off
- Selecting the content to display on screen
- Changing the display from high-definition/widescreen 16:9 to standard definition
4:3 aspect ratios.
For the daily use of the remote control, only common functions are needed and are
described in this guide. For more intricate functions, consult the advanced user’s
guide supplied with your BigVizion.
Note: ISF modes are locked at the factory. A professional calibrator is required to
set-up and calibrate the ISF function. ISF calibration is not required to use your
BigVizion; however, advanced calibration provides the best picture performance
from your product. An additional cost maybe associated with ISF calibration.

During the installation of the BigVizion, your installer will integrate and connect all
your video sources to the BigVizion system controller. To select between sources,
use the buttons in the “Source” section of your remote control.
Since installations vary, please consult your installation professional for
detailed connections of system components.
As an example, your installer might have connected your DVD player to HDMI 1 and
your High Definition Digital Cable Box to HDMI 3.
- To watch a DVD, simply press the HDMI 1 button.
- To watch Cable TV, simply press the HDMI 3 button.

The BigVizion is designed for use in a wide variety of rooms and lighting situations–
from dark theater environments to standard daylight viewing. Your BigVizion has
optional advanced calibration modes certified by the Imaging Science Foundation
(ISF). ISF modes are designed to calibrate your BigVizion for maximum picture
performance for both Day and Night viewing. ISF modes require optional calibration;
consult your installation professional for additional information.
Your installer can also create custom picture settings based on individual preference,
which you can then save as a “favorite.” These settings are accessible by selecting
the “User 1,” “User 2” or “User 3” buttons on the remote. Work with your installation
professional in setting up these favorite modes.
Changing Aspect Ratios:
Aspect ratio is the definition for the dimensions of your image. Most high-definition
sources are 16:9; while most standard are 4:3.
If the image playing on your BigVizion appears “stretched” or “compressed”— try
switching the aspect ratio.
On the remote control, there is a “Display Format” section. By pressing the buttons
in this area, you can switch to various aspect ratios to optimize your viewing.

ISFCCC MODES
For optimum picture performance, the BigVizion comes with ISF Modes.
The BigVizion is designed to offer exceptional performance out of the box; however,
since lighting and other factors can affect the performance of your display, the
BigVizion offers ISF calibration capability. After ISF calibration, the user can simply
switch among the two ISF Day and Night modes to have certified image effects.
Day and Night modes are locked at the factory and require ISF certified calibrators
to unlock and set-up the modes. Certain factors cannot be set at the factory due
to variables during the setup. Professional calibration of Day and Night modes
allow for the appropriate setting of contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and other
parameters to exactly match the environment where the BigVizion is used. There
are also three user modes which can be modified by the user, allowing a total of five
settings per signal/connection to match every condition.
For ISF calibration, please visit www.imagingscience.com to find a certified ISF
technician in your area.
1. To select an ISF mode, press “Menu” button and use “Enter” or gto enter the
IMAGE category, then use h, iarrow keys to highlight “Mode.” Press “Enter”
or gto enter ISF Mode menu.
2. Use h, ito select the desired mode.

Maintenance
Problems can be prevented through the regular maintenance of your BigVizion.
Careful and periodic cleaning can extend the life of various BigVizion parts, such
as the bezel and screen. Always power off the BigVizion when performing routine
maintenance.
Screen Cleaning
To minimize dust on the screen: Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of warm water
and a mild dish-washing detergent. Wring out the majority of the liquid until
almost dry, then wipe the screen.
Bezel Cleaning
Use a soft cloth with a commercially-approved wood cleaning product.
Note: Please keep wood cleaner away from the screen.
