87 THE DMD The DMD A DMD (Digital Micromirror Device ) is a tre digital light modlator which tilises an array of p to 2.3 million moving alminim mirrors, with each one representing a pixel in the final projected image. The otermost micromirrors in the array remain inactive (pond of mirrors) and are not sed in constrcting the image. 1 Casing 2 Light shield 3 Pond of mirrors 4 Array DMD Each mirror element is sspended over address electrodes by a torsion hinge between two posts. 1 Spport posts 1 2 Mirror element 3 Torsion hinges 4 Offset address electrode Mirror element with tilt mechanism Reference Gide page 79

88 THE DMD Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt to the left to prodce a bright pixel or to the right for a dark pixel. When light is applied to the complete DMD, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to the left is projected. 1 Projection lens 5 2 Incoming light from the illmination modle 3 Mirror element tilted to the right Mirror element tilted to the left 5 Reflected light, left tilt Light dmp 7 Reflected light, right tilt 3 4 Light flow The projector optically filters white light from the illmination modle into its constitent red, green and ble. Each color illminates a separate DMD whose modlated otpt is then recombined with the other two to form the projected fll color image. 1 Illmination modle Optical filtering of light into red, green and ble 3 Projection lens white light RGB light 4 DMD devices 5 Fll color image displayed on screen ble light green light red light 4 5 Filtering process Reference Gide page 80

89 CHOOSING A LENS Choosing A Lens A nmber of lenses are available. Which lens yo choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light otpt. The following table shows all available lenses in order of their throw ratios: Throw ratios Focs range Lens shift 0.38 : 1 fixed (UST) 0.82 m m none : 1 zoom 1.02 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame 0.76 : 1 fixed 0.81 m m none : 1 zoom 1.33 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame : 1 zoom 1.83 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame : 1 zoom 2.36 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame : 1 zoom 3.8 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame : 1 zoom 5.59 m m V: 0.5 (U) 0 (D) frame H: 0.1 (L) 0.1 (R) frame To choose a lens, calclate the throw ratio reqired. Throw distance calclations are based on the distance from the oter end of the lens, which will vary from lens to lens. The distance between the front of the projector chassis and the oter end of the lens is called lens extension. Lens extensions is measred when the lens is focsed at infinity, and flly extended. Refer to the projector CAD drawings for individal lens extension figres. The 0.38 : 1 fixed lens has no adjstable shift vale. However, the lens has an inherent offset depending on image size. See the UST docmentation pblished separately on the Digital Projection website. The : 1 zoom lens has an additional featre permitting barrel correction for crved screens. The front ring of the lens is a manal control which provides focs crvatre adjstment to correct for the different focal distances between center and corner. For information abot individal lens part nmbers, see Appendix A at the end of this docment. Reference Gide page 81

90 CHOOSING A LENS Basic calclation Identify the reqired lens by calclating the throw ratio. A throw ratio is the ratio of the throw distance to the screen width: Throw distance Throw ratio = Screen width 1. Use the formla above to obtain the reqired throw ratio. 2. Match the throw ratio with a lens from the table below: Throw ratios Focs range 0.38 : 1 fixed (UST) 0.82 m m : 1 zoom 1.02 m m 0.76 : 1 fixed 0.81 m m 1 Throw distance : 1 zoom 1.33 m m : 1 zoom 1.83 m m 2 Screen width : 1 zoom 2.36 m m : 1 zoom 3.8 m m : 1 zoom 5.59 m m 3. Ensre the reqired throw distance is within the range covered by the lens. 1 2 The basic calclation on this page does not take into consideration DMD and image size, which cold affect the throw ratio. For a more complex and realistic calclation, see Fll lens calclation in this section. When calclating the throw ratio, be sre to se identical measrement nits for both the throw distance and the screen width. For information abot individal lens part nmbers, see Appendix A at the end of this docment. Reference Gide page 82

91 Basic calclation example CHOOSING A LENS 1. Calclate the throw ratio sing the formla. Yor screen is 4.5 m wide and yo wish to place the projector approximately 11 m from the screen. The throw ratio will then be = Match the reslt with the lens table. The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is the : 1 zoom lens. 3. Check whether the lens covers the reqired throw distance. The focs range qoted for the : 1 zoom lens is m. The reqired distance of 11 m is within the range. INFORMATION YOU NEED FOR THIS CALCULATION The throw ratio formla: Throw distance Throw ratio = Screen width The lens table: Throw ratios Focs range 0.38 : 1 fixed (UST) 0.82 m m : 1 zoom 1.02 m m 0.76 : 1 fixed 0.81 m m : 1 zoom 1.33 m m : 1 zoom 1.83 m m : 1 zoom 2.36 m m : 1 zoom 3.8 m m : 1 zoom 5.59 m m The basic calclation on this page does not take into consideration DMD and image size, which cold affect the throw ratio.

Reference Gide page 83

92 CHOOSING A LENS Fll lens calclation Introdcing TRC The choice of lens will affect the image size and will address discrepancies between the DMD resoltion and the sorce. When an image fills the height of the DMD bt not the width, it ses less than 100% of the DMD srface. A lens chosen sing the basic formla may prodce an image that is considerably smaller than the actal screen. To compensate for loss of screen space in sch sitations, yo need to increase the throw ratio sing a Throw Ratio Correction (TRC). TRC can only be applied if greater than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard it and calclate the throw ratio sing the basic formla. Example Fig. 1 illstrates a 4:3 image within a WUXGA DMD. When a WUXGA projector is sed for a 4:3 image, the image does not fill the width of the DMD, creating a pillarboxing effect - blank spaces to the left and right. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 shows the same image projected on a 4:3 screen sing a standard lens (chosen with the basic calclation). The DMD accrately fills the width of the screen; however, the pillarboxing is now part of the projected image and is transferred to the screen. The DMD does not fill the height of the screen, which has cased letterboxing - frther blank spaces at the top and bottom of the screen. The image is now srronded by blank space, which can be removed if the throw ratio is increased. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 shows the image projected on the same screen with a lens chosen sing TRC. The increased throw ratio has allowed the 4:3 image to fill the 4:3 screen seamlessly. Fig. 3 Reference Gide page 84

93 CHOOSING A LENS Calclating TRC To calclate TRC, se the following formla: TRC = 1.6 (DMD aspect ratio) Sorce aspect ratio TRC table Alternatively, yo can save time by referencing the following table, which shows the TRC vale for some poplar image formats: TRC can only be applied if greater than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard it and calclate the throw ratio sing the basic formla. 2.35:1 (Scope), 1920 x 817 pixels TRC < 1, not sed 1.85:1 (Flat), 1920 x 1037 pixels TRC < 1, not sed 1.78:1 (16:9), 1920 x 1080 TRC < 1, not sed 1.66:1 (Vista), 1792 x 1080 pixels TRC < 1, not sed 1.6:1 (16:10), 1728 x 1080 pixels TRC = 1, not sed (native resoltion) 1.33:1 (4:3), 1440 x 1080 pixels TRC = :1 (5:4), 1350 x 1080 pixels TRC = 1.28 Reference Gide page 85

94 CHOOSING A LENS Calclating the throw ratio with TRC 1. For TRC > 1, amend the basic throw ratio formla as follows: Throw distance Throw ratio = Screen width x TRC 2. Once a throw ratio is established, identify the matching lens from the table: TRC can only be applied if greater than 1. If TRC is 1 or less, disregard it and calclate the throw ratio sing the basic formla. Throw ratios Focs range 0.38 : 1 fixed (UST) 0.82 m m : 1 zoom 1.02 m m 0.76 : 1 fixed 0.81 m m : 1 zoom 1.33 m m : 1 zoom 1.83 m m : 1 zoom 2.36 m m : 1 zoom 3.8 m m : 1 zoom 5.59 m m 3. Ensre the reqired throw distance is within the range of the matching lens. Reference Gide page 86

96 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Screen Reqirements Fitting the image to the DMD If the sorce image spplied to the projector is smaller than the DMD resoltion, the image will not fill the DMD. The following examples show how a nmber of common formats may be displayed, depending on yor DMD resoltion. WUXGA images displayed fll width 2.35:1(Scope) = 817 pixels 1.85:1 = 1037 pixels 16:9 = 1.78:1 = 1080 pixels fll height = 1200 pixels fll width = 1920 pixels Reference Gide page 88

97 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS WUXGA images displayed with a height of 1080 pixels max possible image height = 1080 pixels fll height = 1200 pixels 4:3 = 1.33:1 = 1440 pixels 16:10 = 1.6:1 = 1728 pixels 1.66:1 (Vista) = 1792 pixels fll width = 1920 pixels Reference Gide page 89

98 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS WUXGA images displayed fll height Only WUXGA or UXGA images can fill the fll height of the DMD, sing all 1200 pixels withot scaling. fll height = 1200 pixels UXGA = 4:3 = 1.33:1 = 1600 pixels WUXGA = 16:10 = 1.6:1 = 1920 pixels Reference Gide page 90

99 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Diagonal screen sizes Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D). When dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measre screen width (W) and height (H). The example calclations below show how to convert diagonal sizes into width and height, at varios aspect ratios. W = width 2.35:1 (Scope) W = D x 0.92 H = D x :1 W = D x 0.88 H = D x :9 = 1.78:1 W = D x 0.87 H = D x :1 (Vista) W = D x 0.86 H = D x :10 = 1.6:1 (native aspect ratio for WUXGA projectors) W = D x 0.85 H = D x 0.53 H = height D = diagonal Reference Gide page 91

100 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Fitting the image to the screen It is important that yor screen is of sfficient height and width to display images at all the aspect ratios yo are planning to se. Use the conversion chart to check that yo are able to display the fll image on yor screen. If yo have insfficient height or width, yo will have to redce the overall image size in order to display the fll image on yor screen :3 = 1.33:1 W = H x 1.33, H = W x :10 = 1.6:1 (native aspect ratio for WUXGA projectors) W = H x 1.6, H = W x :1 (Vista) Screen height W = H x 1.66, H = W x :9 = 1.78:1 W = H x 1.78, H = W x :1 (Flat) W = H x 1.85, H = W x :1 (Scope) W = H x 2.35, H = W x Screen width Reference Gide page 92

101 SCREEN REQUIREMENTS Positioning the screen and projector For optimm viewing, the screen shold be a flat srface perpendiclar to the floor. The bottom of the screen shold be 1.2 m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row of the adience shold not have to look p more than 30 to see the top of the screen. The distance between the front row of the adience and the screen shold be at least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen shold be a maximm of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area shold be within a 60 range from the face of the screen. The projector shold be installed as close to the power otlet as possible. The power connection shold be easily accessible, so that it can be disconnected in an emergency. Ensre that there is at least 30 cm (12 in) of space between the ventilation otlets and any wall, and 10 cm (4 in) 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, crtains etc. The image can be flipped for rear projection (see Setp men in the Operating Gide) and displayed withot the need for extra mirrors or eqipment. However, yo mst ensre that there is sfficient distance behind the screen for the projector to be correctly located. Rear installation is generally more complicated and advice shold be soght from yor local dealer before attempting it. Reference Gide page 93

102 POSITIONING THE IMAGE Positioning The Image The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, yo can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjst the image sing the Lens shift featre (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image.

103 POSITIONING THE IMAGE Any single adjstment otside the ranges specified on the following page may reslt in an nacceptable level of distortion, particlarly at the corners of the image, de to the image passing throgh the periphery of the lens optics. If the lens is to be shifted in two directions combined, the maximm range withot distortion will be somewhat less, as can be seen in the illstrations below. Fll horizontal or vertical shift Combined shift is redced Reference Gide page 95

104 FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Frame Rates And Plldowns Explained Interlaced and progressive scan A progressive scan is a method of pdating the image by drawing all the lines of each frame in a seqence. In contrast, interlaced video alternately scans odd and even lines. In old analog TV interlacing was commonly sed as a way of dobling the refresh rate withot consming extra bandwidth. The following artifacts are common with interlaced video: edge tear (combing) The image lands between two fields and blrs. This is commonly observed when viewing rapid lateral movement. aliasing (stair-stepping) The textre of the image becomes poplated with nrealistic patterns. Aliasing occrs becase of differences between the original frame rate and the destination format. twitter The image shimmers, for example when showing rolling credits. This happens when the image contains thin horizontal lines that only appear in one field. Frame rates of image sorces Original analog films are made at 24 fps and the whole frame is projected at once. To eliminate flicker and create an impression of continos movement, the projector blades divide the images so that the viewer sees 48 frames per second. Interlaced video scans odd lines, then even. Two fields are blended into one image. NTSC video (60i) is fps, or fields per second. 24p video is progressive bt withot the benefit of projector blades dividing the images, so it looks jmpier on playback than film. 24p is the optimal format for projects that are finished on film. 30p is optimal for projects finished on video. It has fewer strobing isses than 24p in video playback. Reference Gide page 96

105 FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED Plldowns - conversion into destination formats Plldowns are a method of converting a 24p sorce into a different destination format by adding extra frames to the sorce. 2:3 (normal) plldown This method is sed to convert a 24p sorce (film) into a 60i destination (NTSC video) by adding two extra fields for every for frames, effectively increasing the frame rate to 30 fps. The frame is split into fields and then two fields are repeated for every for original frames as shown in the illstration below. Original film, 24 fps Field 1 (odd) Field 2 (even) Reslting video, 30 fps Reference Gide page 97

106 FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED 2:3:3:2 (advanced) plldown This method is very similar to the normal plldown. Unlike the normal plldown method, the reslting 30 fps video seqence contains only one frame containing fields from two different sorce frames. The advantage of this method is that it is easier to reverse, if necessary. Original film, 24 fps Field 1 (odd) Field 2 (even) Reslting video, 30 fps The projector will se advanced plldown on sitable video material, wherever possible. Reference Gide page 98
