C3X Lumis HOST
CONTROLLING THE 2 UNITS
The remote control supplied (IR, infrared operation), per-
mits full control of the system. It controls both the HOST™
system and the projector since both are equipped with an
IR sensor on the front while the projector also has an IR
receiver on the back. The two units are connected by a ca-
ble containing three optical fibres, each ending with an LC
connector. The standard cable length (20m), permits even
the most demanding installations.
CONNECTIONS TO VIDEO SOURCES
Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable
from an external control unit and the fibre optic cables for
hooking up with the Projector to the rear panel of the HOST
system.
To obtain the best performance from the C3X Lumis HOST
system, connect the various signal sources using good
quality cables designed for video applications.
Ensure that:
the cables are routed in such a way that they do not •
present an obstruction to people moving around the
room;
the connectors are inserted carefully to avoid damag-•
ing the pins;
the cables are not twisted or crushed;•
when disconnecting the cables the connectors are not •
violently pulled out of the connectors on the various
units.
Video sources (television receivers, VCRs, DVD players, etc.)
often feature several outputs. To obtain the best performance
from your system, carefully choose which output to use.
Generally, the type of signal offering the best picture quality
is HDMI™, followed by DVI-D, RGB, Components, S-Video
and Composite Video, in that order.
However, the C3X Lumis HOST system is equipped with an
excellent Video Decoder and Deinterlacer and therefore even
inferior quality signals will produce high quality results.
PROJECTOR VENTILATION
“The lamp inside the projector generates a great deal of
heat, thus requiring a continuous flow of air to maintain op
-
timum operating efficiency. The air inlet & outlet are on the
sides of the projector and it is critical that these vents re
-
main free from obstruction. SIM2 recommends a distance
of 20 cm clearance each side. If the projectors is to be
mounted inside a “Hush Box” or a confined space then the
projector must be fed a supply of cool air to maintain good
ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation will result in the projector overheat-
ing, this may cause the projector to shut down randomly
and will damage the lamp and significantly shorten the lamp
life.”
! WARNING:
Failure
to observe the above warnings may cause the
fibre optic cable to break. It is appreciated that it is
not always practical or convenient but due to the frag-
ile nature of fibre optic cables we highly recommend
to test the cable prior to and after installation. Also it
is good practice to examine the cable between fixes
and making good just in case other trades haven’t
accidentally damaged the cable. All cables are fully
tested prior to shipping. SIM2 cannot be held respon-
sible for damage caused to property or incurred costs
as a result of a malfunctioning cable.
