C3X Lumis HOST

CONTROLLING THE 2 UNITS

The remote control supplied (IR, infrared operation), per-

mits full control of the system. It controls both the HOST™

system and the projector since both are equipped with an

IR sensor on the front while the projector also has an IR

receiver on the back. The two units are connected by a ca-

ble containing three optical ﬁbres, each ending with an LC

connector. The standard cable length (20m), permits even

the most demanding installations.

CONNECTIONS TO VIDEO SOURCES

Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable

from an external control unit and the ﬁbre optic cables for

hooking up with the Projector to the rear panel of the HOST

system.

To obtain the best performance from the C3X Lumis HOST

system, connect the various signal sources using good

quality cables designed for video applications.

Ensure that:

the cables are routed in such a way that they do not •

present an obstruction to people moving around the

room;

the connectors are inserted carefully to avoid damag-•

ing the pins;

the cables are not twisted or crushed;•

when disconnecting the cables the connectors are not •

violently pulled out of the connectors on the various

units.

Video sources (television receivers, VCRs, DVD players, etc.)

often feature several outputs. To obtain the best performance

from your system, carefully choose which output to use.

Generally, the type of signal offering the best picture quality

is HDMI™, followed by DVI-D, RGB, Components, S-V ideo

and Composite Video, in that order.

However, the C3X Lumis HOST system is equipped with an

excellent Video Decoder and Deinterlacer and therefore even

inferior quality signals will produce high quality results.

PROJECTOR VENTILATION

“The lamp inside the projector generates a great deal of

heat, thus requiring a continuous ﬂow of air to maintain op-

timum operating efﬁciency. The air inlet & outlet are on the

sides of the projector and it is critical that these vents re-

main free from obstruction. SIM2 recommends a distance

of 20 cm clearance each side. If the projectors is to be

mounted inside a “Hush Box” or a conﬁned space then the

projector must be fed a supply of cool air to maintain good

ventilation.

Inadequate ventilation will result in the projector overheat-

ing, this may cause the projector to shut down randomly

and will damage the lamp and signiﬁcantly shorten the lamp

life.”

! WARNING:

Failure to observe the above warnings may cause the

ﬁbre optic cable to break. It is appreciated that it is

not always practical or convenient but due to the frag-

ile nature of ﬁbre optic cables we highly recommend

to test the cable prior to and after installation. Also it

is good practice to examine the cable between ﬁxes

and making good just in case other trades haven’t

accidentally damaged the cable. All cables are fully

tested prior to shipping. SIM2 cannot be held respon-

sible for damage caused to property or incurred costs

as a result of a malfunctioning cable.
