1.2 Screen Type

The following two types of screen masks can be used for the DLP Cinema Projector. Check
the screen mask for your projector for its type before selecting lenses because types of
primary/anamorphic lenses to be used on the projector and its settings depend upon the
type of screen mask you use.

Horizontal moving screen mask Vertical moving screen mask

Screen masks move horizontally to Screen masks move vertically to adjust the
adjust the screen. screen.

1.3 Selecting of Anamorphic Lenses

An anamorphic lens is required when you use a wide screen for projection. Because a
different type of anamorphic lens should be used according to the type of projector and
screen, determine an appropriate anamorphic lens in consultation with the end user,
considering its application purpose. See the table below for available anamorphic lenses.

Available Anamorphic Lenses

Screen mask type Screen Type Projected area Anamorphic lens

Horizontal moving SCOPE 2048 x 1080 x1.25
VISTA (FLAT) 1998 x 1080 -
HDTV 1920 x 1080 -
Vertical moving SCOPE 2048 x 1080 x1.25 or None (*)
VISTA (FLAT) 1998 x 1080 -
HDTV 1920 x 1080 -

(*) If the screen mask is of vertical moving type and the image cannot be enlarged
vertically due to insufficient zooming magnification of the primary lens, do not use the
anamorphic lens for projection. In this case, it is necessary to set the Screen file
(Screen Presentation Setting). For the Screen file, refer to “Creating a Screen File” in
"Installation and Adjustment Manual (Touch Panel)”.

 NC800C 1. Before Setting Up Your Projector

How to Calculate the Magnification of Primary Lens

SCOPE projection:

Primary lens
Length of projection (L)
magnification =
Screen width (W) ÷ Anamorphic lens magnification
Use 1x for anamorphic lens magnification if this lens is not in use.

VISTA (FLAT) /HDTV projection:

Primary lens
Length of projection (L)
magnification =
Screen width (W) × (2048 ÷ Number of pixels per horizontal line)

* Number of pixels per horizontal line: 1998 for VISTA (FLAT); 1920 for HDTV
* Select a lens that meets the magnification requirement for both SCOPE and VISTA
(FLAT)/HDTV screen types.

Example of Primary Lens Calculation

If the projection distance (L) = 16 m, the screen width (W) = 8 m and the anamorphic
lens is not used:

16m
SCOPE projection = = 2.0x
8m÷1

16m
VISTA (FLAT) projection = = 1.95x
8m×(2048÷1998)

16m
HDTV projection = = 1.88x
8m×(2048÷1920)

Therefore, "L2K-18ZM", which satisfies the magnifications in all of the above projections,
is selected as the primary lens.

After making sure that the main power switch of your projector is turned off, plug its power
cord into an earthed, three-pin power outlet (power supply: 100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC).

• Consult your dealer for installing the power cable to the projector. Do not
install the power cable by yourself.
• For equipment safety, be sure to provide ground connection. To prevent
the risk of electric shock, grounding must be conducted by a qualified

3.3 Controlling Your Projector Using a Wireless LAN Card

When using a wireless LAN to control the projector, please insert a wireless LAN card
(available separately) into the Connection terminal PC Card slot located at the projector side.

• If the wireless LAN card is in use, NC800C cannot be controlled from the incorporated LAN
Note
port (LAN A/LAN B). The Cinema circuit can be controlled even if the wireless LAN is in
use.
• Be sure to set or remove your wireless LAN card only when the power to your projector is
off. Insertion or removal of a wireless LAN card when power to your projector is on may
result in a destruction of the wireless LAN card.

4.2.2 Adjusting the screen ratio

Adjust the screen ratio of the primary lens here.

When an anamorphic lens is used, distortions will be
produced on the projection screen. To prevent the image
from being cut off due to these distortions, the image size
should be made larger than the screen size beforehand.
To minimize potential distortions of the anamorphic lens, it
is recommended that the lens shift not be used as much as
you can and that projection be kept at lens center.
