2 What is in the LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM
The DLP LightCrafter Display module consists of three subsystems:
• Light engine – includes the optics, red, green, and blue LEDs, and a 1920 × 1080 (1080p) DMD
capable of 460 lumens out-of-the-box.
• Driver board – includes the DLP chipset comprising of DLPC3439 controller and DLPA3005 PMIC/LED
driver.
• System board – includes MSP430, ITE HDMI receiver, USB-serial bridge controller, and several
connectors for external inputs (HDMI, USB, and others).

3 Light Engine
The optical engine in the EVM is developed by Qisda and is production ready.
The light engine consists of the following components:
• 0.47-inch 1080p DMD (DLP4710)
• OSRAM P1W red, green, and blue LED
Table 1. Optical Engine Specifications
PARAMETER MIN TYP MAX UNIT
Brightness at 12-A LED current 456 lm
LED current 12 A
Brightness uniformity 73%
Offset 100%
Throw Ratio 1.108
Focus range 30 100 inch
4 Quick-Start Procedure
This quick-start assumes default conditions as shipped.
1. Power up the DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM by applying an external DC power supply (12-V DC,
6.67 A) to the J_PWR connector.
External power supply requirements:
• Nominal output voltage: 12 VDC
• Max output current: 6.67 A
• Efficiency Level V
NOTE: TI recommends using an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety
standards such as (by example) UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, PSE, and so forth. The D_12ON LED
indicates that 12-V power is applied.
2. Move the SW_MSPONOFF switch to the on position to turn the DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM
on. D_PROJON LED indicates that the LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM is turned on.
3. After the DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM is turned on; the projector will display a DLP LightCrafter
Display splash image by default.
4. The focus of the image can be adjusted on the optical engine.
Figure 3. Optical Engine With Focus Adjustment
5. Connect USB to the LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM and open the GUI on your computer. If needed,
connect an HDMI source to the EVM and communicate to the EVM through the GUI software.
6. When turning off the projector, turn off the SW_MSPONOFF switch prior to removing the power cable.
CAUTION
To avoid potential damage to the DMD, TI recommends to turn off the projector
with the SW_ONOFF before disconnecting the power.

6 EVM Setup
The DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM has the DLP4710 chipset comprising of DLP4710 (.47 1080p)
DMD, DLPC3439 display controller, DLPA3005 PMIC/LED driver, and supporting components as the
Cypress chip, MSP430, and ITE controller all included on one board. Figure 4 shows the locations of
these parts. The MSP430 is placed on the bottom of the board and is not shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 Board
The DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 board has three LED connectors for red, blue, and green, and one
connector for the flex cable to the 0.47-inch 1080p DMD. The connectors for each LED are named on the
board as well as on the light engine. Refer to Figure 5 to see the proper setup.
NOTE: Ensure a good connection of the flex cable to the DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 board.
