Notes  
General precautions  
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.  
Use only the power cable provided.  
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this  
equipment MUST be earthed.  
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling  
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have  
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.  
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any  
liquids on top of the projector.  
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.  
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.  
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.  
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a  
damaged power cable.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole  
module should be replaced and returned to Digital Projection for re-  
furbishment.  
Take care when removing the lamp module, as it is heavy (>10kg).  
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you do  
accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use.  
Do not use the lamp for more than 750 hours, as this may cause  
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on  
replacement.  
Xenon lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the  
light coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as  
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in  
serious eye damage.  
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.  
Do not cover the ventilation outlets or inlets.  
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could  
cause a fire  
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before switching off  
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.  
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to  
clean the projector and lens.

Notes  
Installation precautions  
Connect the LAN cable only to a computer LAN connection. Other  
similar connectors may have a dangerously high voltage source.  
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in  
accordance with local building codes.  
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as  
possible.  
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be  
disconnected in an emergency.  
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the  
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.  
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by  
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.  
The projector weighs over 100kg (200lbs). Use safe handling  
techniques when lifting the projector.  
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that  
the stresses are distributed to all for frame couplings.  
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is  
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight  
of the projector and lens (see specification for exact weights).  
Separate backup safety chains or wires should always be used for each  
projector.  
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the  
rigging frame is capable of withstanding the weight of another  
projector.  
Do not stack more than four projectors.  
Do not drop or jarr the projector.  
±12°  
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,  
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.  
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° from side to side when in use,  
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and  
cause extra cost on replacement. The projector my be tilted forwards  
and backwards as necessary.  
Each time a new lens is fitted to the projector, the calibration procedure  
must be carried out. See Lens menu, in Section 4. Using the menus.  
360°  
The zoom drive mechanism should always be set to the engaged  
position, even when using the non-zoom lens, as it provides an extra  
level of protection, should the lens release lever fail.

Operation and configuration precautions  
Do not try to operate the touch screen using anything harder than your  
finger. This could damage the LCD.  
Do not make changes to the networking configuration unless you  
understand what you are doing, or have taken advice from your  
Network Manager. If you make a mistake, it is possible that you will lose  
contact with the projector. Always double-check your settings before  
pressing the APPLY button. Always keep a written note of the original  
settings, and any changes you have made.  
If using DHCP, then keep the projector switched on at all times, and  
make sure the projector is accessible, as the IP address could be re-  
assigned on power-up or after a lost connection.  
Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the  
supervision of, Digital Projection Service personnel.

Screen requirements  
Aspect ratio  
The resolution of the DMD fitted  
to the projector is 2048 x 1080  
pixels.  
Fitting the image to the DMD  
If the source image supplied to the projector is smaller than 2048 x 1080 pixels, then  
the image will not fill the DMD. The following example shows how a number of  
common formats may be displayed without the use of an external scaling processor.  
This projector does not perform  
any image processing - the  
MMS 1000 is recommended for  
this purpose.

Diagonal screen sizes  
Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When  
dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is  
more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).  
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into  
width and height, at various aspect ratios.  
W = width  
2.35:1 aspect ratio  
W = D x 0.92in  
(D x .023m)  
H = D x 0.39in  
H = D x 0.47in  
H = D x 0.49in  
H = D x 0.6in  
H = D x 0.625in

Fitting the image to the screen  
Notes  
It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at  
all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.  
Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are  
able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height or width,  
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on  
your screen.

Positioning the screen and projector  
Notes  
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.  
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row  
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the  
screen.  
The projector should be  
installed as close to the  
power outlet as possible.  
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at  
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen  
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should  
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.  
The power connection should  
be easily accessible, so that it  
can be disconnected in an  
emergency.  
Ensure that there is at least  
30cm (12in) of space between  
the ventilation outlets and  
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on  
all other sides.  
Do not install the projector  
close to anything that might  
be affected by its operational  
heat, for instance,  
polystyrene ceiling tiles,  
curtains etc.  
The image can be flipped for  
rear projection (see section 4.  
Using the menus, Image  
menu) and displayed without  
the need for extra mirrors or  
equipment.  
However, you must ensure that  
there is sufficient distance  
behind the screen for the  
projector to be correctly located.  
Rear installation is generally  
more complicated and advice  
should be sought from your  
local dealer before attempting it.

Notes  
Choosing a lens  
A number of lenses are available for use with the projector. Which lens you choose  
will depend on the screen size, image aspect ratio and projection distance.  
If you are simply connecting the output of a camera or computer directly to the  
projector, then the image size (in pixels) may well be fixed. If, however, you are  
using commercially available image processing equipment, such as the Digital  
Projection MMS 1000, you may be able to resize the image to fit the DMD.  
If the image does not fill the full width of the DMD, this effectively increases the  
throw ratio of the lens. This can be corrected for by applying a Throw ratio factor.  
For more information about  
Throw ratio factor (TRF), see  
Useful lens calculations, later  
in this section.  
Method one: using the lens charts  
For the screen sizes listed below, use one of the charts on the following pages, to  
choose a lens.

Screen width  
For images that do not fill the

Shifting the image  
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you  
can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image  
using the Lens shift feature to maintain a geometrically correct image.  
For more information on using  
the Lens shift feature, see  
section 4. Using the menus,  
Lens menu.  
If the lens is to be shifted in two  
directions combined, the  
maximum range is somewhat  
less, as can be seen below.  
•
•
Any single adjustment outside the ranges specified below may result in an  
unacceptable level of distortion, paricularly at the corners of the image, due to  
the image passing through the periphery of the lens optics.  
If the lens is to be shifted in two directions combined, the maximum range  
without distortion will be somewhat less, as can be seen in the diagrams to the  
right.  
The maximum range available with no distortion is dependent on which lens is used.  
The tables below show the maximum range for images that fill the DMD. For images  
which do not use the full height or width, extra shift will be possible, up to the limit of  
the lens mount movement.

Mounting the projector  
The projector is designed to be suspended from a lighting truss by its rigging frame.  
However, the four adjustable feet under the chassis allow the projector to be  
lowered onto a flat surface without any danger of hands being trapped between the  
bottom frame and the surface.  
BEFORE INSTALLING THE  
PROJECTOR, READ ALL THE  
WARNINGS BELOW AND ALL  
THOSE IN IMPORTANT  
INFORMATION AT THE  
FRONT OF THIS MANUAL.  
Levelling  
Before suspending the projector, make sure that the three frame adjusters are set  
roughly midway.  
The projector weighs over  
100kg (200lbs). Use safe  
handling techniques when  
lifting the projector.  
Coarse frame adjustment  
If the projector is to be suspended by its rigging frame, coarse adjustment of  
projector level should be made by adjusting the length of the supporting wires or  
chains, or by adjusting the position of the truss.  
Make sure that the surface,  
ceiling or rigging that is to  
support the projector is  
capable of supporting the  
combined weight of the  
projector and lens (see  
specification for weights).  
Fine frame adjustment  
Once the initial coarse adjustment has been made, fine adjustment should be made  
by turning the three frame adjusters on the rigging frame.  
The frame adjusters will provide approximately ±10mm of movement relative to the  
rear right corner. Centering lines are scribed on the shafts to show the centre of  
adjustment.  
Backup safety chains or  
wires should always be used.  
Centering  
line  
Do not tilt the projector more  
than ±12° from side to side  
when in use, as this may  
cause serious lamp failure,  
damage the lamp module and  
cause extra cost on  
replacement. The projector  
my be tilted forwards and  
backwards as necessary.  
Frame

Chassis adjustment  
If the projector is to be operated from a flat surface such as a projector table, then  
adjustment of projector level should be made by turning the four feet under the

Stacking projectors  
The rigging frame is capable of supporting the weight of up to three other projectors,  
using the built-in frame couplings. The projectors can be stacked on top of each  
other, or suspended below each other.  
When stacking projectors, the  
stack MUST be vertical, to  
ensure that the stresses are  
distributed to all for frame  
couplings.

Carefully lower each projector down onto the top of the others, making sure that  
all four frame couplings engage fully.  
•
Fit a locking pin into each coupling. A ball in the end of the pin prevents the pin  
from falling out – to insert or remove a locking pin, press the button on the t-bar  
to release the ball.  
•
Align the images from the projectors, following the instructions in section  
3. Getting started, Adjusting the projected image.  
Make sure that the surface,  
ceiling or rigging that is to  
support the projector is  
capable of supporting the  
combined weight of all the  
projectors and lenses (see  
specification for weights).  
Frame  
coupling  
Do not place heavy objects  
on top of the projector  
chassis. Only the rigging  
frame is capable of  
withstanding the weight of  
another projector.  
Hole for  
locking pin  
Do not try to stack more than  
four projectors.  
Separate backup safety  
chains or wires should  
always be used for each  
projector.

Digital Projection LIGHTNING 35HD User Manual  
Notes  
Connecting the projector  
Input  
connection  
panels  
This projector is designed to be the projection head of a projection system enabling  
the user to use a variety of commercially available image-scaling and processing  
products including the Digital Projection MMS1000. The processing unit can be  
located close to source equipment such as computers, video tape players and DVD  
players etc. Therefore, only the projector needs to be located in the lighting gantry.  
This projector does not include  
any image-scaling or  
processing functions. Sources  
presented to the projector can  
only be mapped pixel for pixel  
to the display.  
Only one connection is required between the processing equipment and head. For  
short distances, a regular DVI-D cable may be used, but for distances greater than  
5 metres the DigiLink high bandwidth optical connection system is recommended.  
More information about  
selecting (blanking) and  
positioning of the image can be  
found in section 4. Using the  
menus.  
Digilink  
The DigiLink system is fully compatible with DVI-D, but uses optical fibre to transmit  
the RGB and clock signals, and copper wires to transmit the DDC signal and 5V  
power line. These are all integrated into a single cable. DigiLink allows cable lengths  
up to 100m to be used with the added benefit of reduced picture interference.

EDID handshaking  
Notes  
If you are using a computer DVI card or other DVI source that obeys the EDID  
handshaking protocol, then the card or source will automatically configure itself to  
suit the projector.  
If not, then you should refer to the documentation supplied with the DVI source to  
manually set the resolution to 2048 x 1080 or the nearest suitable setting.  
Example: setting up the MMS 1000 multimedia switcher  
The MMS multimedia switcher does not use EDID protocols, therefore you should  
use the MMS menus to manually set the output resolution as follows:  
•
Switcher Options → Page 5 →Output Resolution → 2k x 1k (2048 x 1080)  
Projector Outputs  
The LIGHTNING 35HD has loop-through outputs for each input. This enables  
signals to be passed through to a second projector in a stacking situation.  
Ensure that DVI Repeater is ON - see Source menu, in section 4. Using the  
menus.

Introduction  
All of the projector’s features can be controlled using:  
Do not try to operate the  
touch screen using anything  
harder than your finger. This  
could damage the LCD.  
•
•
the menus on the touch screen or  
the same menus on a remote computer using a web browser  
(with the IP address of the projector typed into the browser address field)  
If you have difficulty getting the  
touch screen to respond  
correctly, then try varying the  
length and pressure of your  
finger movements until you  
have more success.  
None of the menus are ever displayed on the projection screen.  
In these instructions, it is assumed that the touch screen is being used, so the  
expressions ‘press the button’, or ‘touch and drag the slider control’ will be used,  
rather than the familiar ‘click’ or ‘click and drag’ used on a web browser.  
The buttons and controls react in the following way when operated:  
•
A button or control will be coloured white if its function is available. It will be  
coloured grey if not (some functions are not yet available).  
For more information about  
using a web browser to control  
the projector, see Config  
menu... Networking  
configuration, later in this  
section.  
•
•
Buttons and single-headed arrow controls will change to yellow when pressed.  
Slider controls can be adjusted by touching and dragging the slider, or for fine  
adjustment, by pressing either arrow head. The numerical value will change to  
grey until the projector hardware has responded, when the value will change to  
white.  
For information about how to  
connect the projector, see  
Connecting the projector in  
section 2. Installation, and  
Connections in section  
6. Appendix.  
•
•
Some sliders and arrow controls can be centred, or reset to default values, by  
pressing on the number next to the slider or in the middle of the arrows. These  
operations are described in more detail later in this section.  
Some functions require the button to be pressed and held for a short period, to  
avoid accidental operation. In these cases, the button will turn grey when  
pressed, turning yellow only when the function has been activated.  
When the projector is first switched on, the control panel will be in Show mode, as  
described on the page 4.  
The eight buttons of the Main menu are always visible at the bottom of the display.  
Buttons and controls relating to the Sub Menus will appear in the top part of the  
display.

You can use either the Ethernet #1 or #2 port to connect the projector to a  
controlling computer, but the two ports should always be set differently.  
Do not make changes to the  
networking configuration  
unless you understand what  
you are doing, or have taken  
advice from your Network  
Manager.  
•
If you are connecting the projector to an existing computer network that has a  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) domain controller located in a  
network server or router, then you should set the port to DHCP mode, and the  
projector will determine its settings automatically.  
•
If you are connecting the projector to an existing computer network that does not  
support DHCP, then you should set the port to MANUAL mode, obtain the  
network settings from your Network Manager, and configure the projector as  
described on the next page.  
If you make a mistake, it is  
possible that you will lose  
contact with the projector.  
Always double-check your  
settings before pressing the  
APPLY button.  
•
•
If you are connecting a number of projectors and computers in a self contained  
network, then you should set the port to MANUAL mode, configure the IP  
address and Netmask settings as shown in the example on the next page.  
Always keep a written note of  
the original settings, and any  
changes you have made.  
If you are connecting a single projector to a computer using a crossed LAN  
cable, then you should set the port to MANUAL mode and leave the IP address  
and Netmask settings at their default values. Configure the computer to match  
the projector, but with the last number of the IP address different.  
If using DHCP, then keep the  
projector switched on at all  
times, and make sure the  
projector is accessible, as the  
IP address could be re-  
assigned on power-up or  
after a lost connection.

The lamp should be changed after 750 hours of use, as indicated on the lamp-hours  
meter. The meter is located on the front of the lamp module, and is accesible inside  
the lamp compartment door.  
Always allow the lamp to cool  
for 5 minutes before  
removing the lamp module.  
To open the lamp compartment door:  
•
Give the catch half a turn anti-clockwise, to release the catch.  
There are no user-serviceable  
parts inside the lamp module.  
The whole module should be  
replaced and returned to  
Digital Projection for re-  
furbishment.

Do not use the lamp for more  
than 750 hours, as this may  
cause serious lamp failure,  
damage the lamp module and  
cause extra cost on  
replacement.  
Xenon lamps produce high  
intensity light. Do not look  
directly at the light coming  
from the lamp housing or the  
lens.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Possible solutions  
The projector will not power up.  
Check that the mains plug is plugged in and that the mains supply is switched on.  
Check any external fuses or breakers.  
The projector shuts down after it has  
been in use for some time.  
The projector may be overheating. Check that the air inlets and outlets are clear of  
any obstruction. Check that the air filter is clean, and if it is dirty, fit a new one.  
See Section 1. Introduction, Getting to know the projector  
Check in the LAMP menu that the lamp is turned on.  
See Section 4. Using the menus, Lamp menu  
The lamp is not lit.  
Check the lamp-hours meter. If the lamp has been in use for over 750 hours, the  
lamp module should be changed.  
See Section 5. Maintenance, Changing the lamp  
The lamp may be faulty. Check by fitting a new lamp module.  
See Section 5. Maintenance, Changing the lamp  
The menus say the lamp is lit but no  
image is displayed.  
Check that the input source is switched on and connected to the projector  
correctly.  
Check that the correct image source is selected.  
See Section 4. Using the menus, Source menu  
Check that the brightness and contrast settings are set correctly.  
See Section 4. Using the menus, Image menu  
If the input source is connected via a device powered from the 5V auxilliary power  
outlet, check that this power cable is connected correctly.  
The projector may be overheating. Check that the air inlets and outlets are clear of  
any obstruction. Check that the air filter is clean, and if it is dirty, fit a new one.  
The image does not fit the screen  
correctly.  
If the image is smaller than 2048 x 1080 pixels, then the image will NOT fill the  
screen. The projector does not perform any image processing - the MMS 1000 is  
recommended for this purpose.  
Check that the correct lens is being used for the combination of screen size and  
projection distance.  
See Section 1. Introduction, Choosing a lens  
Check the settings in the IMAGE menu.

Lens extension is the distance from the outer end of the lens to the front of the projector. It is measured when the lens is  
focussed at infinity and fully extended. At other focus settings, the extension could be up to 10mm less.  
It is important for calculating throw distance accurately (see Useful lens calculations, in Section 2. Installation).

Hot plug detect (HPD) is fully DVI compliant. DVI sources detect the presence of  
a display device by providing +5V on pin 14 and looking for +5V on pin 16.  
Whenever the projector is operational, and 5V is present on pin 14, pin 16 will be  
held at +5V.  
EDID is available even when the projector is switched off.  
Operational means that the projector is powered up. Non operational states are  
powered down and some self test and reprogramming modes.

Using Windows Hyperterminal to connect to the projector  
Notes  
Many features of the projector can be controlled remotely by sending ascii character  
strings to the serial control input, or via a LAN, using the protocol and syntax  
described in the following pages.  
For a full description of all the  
Control codes available, see the  
Lightning 35HD  
Communications Protocol, on  
the following pages.  
If you are using a PC running Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 or XP, you can send  
the control codes using Windows Hyperterminal. This can usually be found in:  
Start → All Programs → Accessories → Communications → Hyperterminal:  
In File → Properties, set the connection either to your serial link or LAN connection.  
For a serial connection, use the settings detailed on the previous page. For a LAN  
connection, connect to the server using port number 7000.  
In File → Properties → Settings → Ascii Setup, set the sending and receiving  
characters as shown below:  
Commands can be sent to the projector simply by typing in the Hyperterminal  
window. Replies will also be seen in the window.

Remote communications protocol  
Version 1.2 Patch A  
Details of how to connect to the  
projector, using the serial  
control input or via a LAN, can  
be found on the previous page.  
Each command string sent to the projector should start with character 0x0a and end  
with character 0x0d. If you are using Windows Hyperterminal, then this will be taken  
care of by the Ascii Setup described on the previous page.  
Prefix each command with:  
"[id],[user],[time],[date],[command priority],[projector id],[projector name],"  
for example:  
1234,external,16:37:31,01/04/2004,5,543210,DPL-123,
