3. Physical Installation
The projector lens is delivered in a separate box.
3.4 Positioning the projector
CAUTION: The position and physical securing of the projector must be su fficient to preven t it from accidental
or involuntary move men t. Proper secu ring of the projector is the responsibility o f the installer and user. Th e
Projector a re heavy, and can cause severe dam age and injuries if falling.
General guideline s
Proper positioning of the projec tor lessens the overall picture setup time, and ens ures a better image with fewer artifacts.
Focus and sharp ness of the image can be ad versely affected if the lens axis is not fully perpendicular to the
projection surface.
Using extended cable lengths may result in reduced image quality as well as loss of control information such
as EDID (Extended Display Information Data).
The following guidelines can help you determine the best physical location for the projector.
• Only install the projector on a sturdy fla t surface, or in an approved rigg
ing frame.
• Do no t install the projector in a thoroughfare or another ar ea where it is at risk of b eing pushed or jos tled.
• Allow sufficient free space around the projector for ventilation and exhaust, as described in section .
• Use the throw ratio of the installed lens as a guideline for the projector’s physical d istance from the screen.
• Wherever possible, the projector lens surface should be positioned so that it is perfectly perpendicular to the center of the
screen.
Use the projector offset (lens shift), rather than p hysical an
gling, to correct any off-center positioning.
• Minimize the source cable length as much as possible.
In general HDBaseT and 3G -SDI ar e long-haul interfaces and suitable for bespoke installations using relatively long cables.
DP, HDM I and DVI are short-haul interfaces us ing pre-assembled cables with limited cable lengths.
• Limit the use of power cable extensions wherever possible. Where physical limitations necessitate their use, make sure that
the extension cord has adequate surge protection and meets all e lectrical requirements of the connection.
• Keep the projector away from equ ipment that emits electromagnetic energy for exam ple, motors, transformers and elevators.
EMC Considerations
The Balder Projector is a EMC class A product, that may cause interference when used in residential areas. Special measures to
reduce electromagnetic emissions to prevent interference to th
e reception of radio and television broadcasts may b e nee ded.
3.5 Mounting the projector, general considerations
Mounting safety
When mounting a projector in a rig, always use an interface plate (between the projector and the mount) that has provision for a
safety wire or another s afety mechanism, to ensure that the projector do es not fall down should the interface plate come loose from
the m ount.
Always screw the interface plate securely to the projector body while the projector is on the ground (i.e. cannot fall down). Then
attach proper safety wire between the interface p
late and the rig before m ounting the projector in the rig
Using 3rd party mounting equipment
The projector has features for mounting into v arious system environments using 3r d party mounts.
Four m ounting inserts are located on the bottom of projector. The ceiling mount inserts have a pull-strength of more than 4x the
weight of the projector.
The feet can b e removed and threads can be used for additional mounting points. See table below for dimensions.
