Stacking Frame Installation Instructions

Projector Alignment

Ensure the stacking legs are extended at least 1” and are slightly loose before aligning the projectors.

Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so the resulting display is optimized and as sharp as possible. If hoisting the stack do so first and then align. To maintain alignment lock all stacking hardware into place.

Always align the fixed projector. For floor or table-mount (i.e. non-hoisted) stacks,

 

align the bottom projector. In hoisted stacks, align the top projector.

 

 

 

 

RELEASED

Leg nuts must be loosened before alignment; otherwise the stacking mounts will

 

not turn and allow movement of the projector.

 

 

 

1.

Position the fixed projector’s image as desired and align the other image(s) to it.

2.

To distinguish between the images, enable Red for one display and Green for the

 

other. For more information, refer to the manual supplied with the projector.

3.

 

 

 

 

 

Control

Minimize each projector’s zoom until the images are focused.

4.

Adjust the zoom and lens offset on the top p jector to precisely move its test

 

pattern display onto the bottom test pattern. When it is properly aligned all the

If all lines are well-aligned, skip to S ep 7 to lock all stacking mounts.

If alignment needs improvement,

 

 

 

 

 

proceed to Step 5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

For well-aligned center lines turn the two

 

 

 

 

rear stacking mount wheels to move the top

 

 

 

 

projector. Use a screwdriver in the holes

 

 

 

 

around the rim of each adjus ing wheel for

 

 

 

 

better leverage

and control. Turned

 

 

 

 

independently, each stacking mount acts as

 

 

 

 

a pivot point for the opposite edge of the

 

 

 

 

display. Refer to Figure 7. For example, turn

 

 

 

 

the right mount to tilt the left portion of the

 

 

 

 

image and turn the left mount to tilt the right

 

 

 

 

portion of the image. Turn the mounts

 

 

 

 

together to raise or lower the top image, or

 

 

 

 

turn the front stacker. If the center lines form

 

 

 

 

an X it indicates the projectors (and

Figure 7. Directional Adjustment (Tilt)

 

images) are slightly tilted in relation to one

 

another. Turn one mount to raise one side,

 

 

 

 

and/or turn the other mount to lower the

 

 

 

 

other side. Refer to Figure 7.
