Positioning at port window
Barco o ffers a pedestal for t he Prom etheus. Th is universal pedestal allows a solid an d easy setup of the
projector. The universal pedestal has a separate compartment to install the UPS unit (if available) for the
Prometheus. Futhermore, the universal pedesta l contains a standard 19” rack to build in the projector periph-
erals like alternative co ntent switchers (e.g. ACS-2048).
Necessary tools
• 14 mm wrench
• 17 mm wrench
Projector centering
1. If the projector is standalone in front of the port window, center the projector with the theatre screen (see ref A image 3-2).
2. If a film projector is already present (proj
ector will be off-center), try to optimize a im (s ee ref B imag e 3-2).
Note: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as par allel to the screen as pos sible, even if it is
significantly above the screen c enter.
The off-center position slightly increases side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
