General guide lines
• Use a solid pedestal to put the DP-1500 projector on. Ensure that the pedestal can handle the weight of the projector and that
all feet of the projector are captured.
• The pedestal should be placed in front of the port window wall in this manner that the projector front cover is at a distance of
minimum 20 centimeter from the port window.

Barco offers a pedestal for the DP-1200 digital projector. This universal pedestal allows a solid and easy setup
of the projector. The universal pedestal has a separate compartment to install the UPS unit (if available) for
the DP-1200 digital projector. Futhermore, the universal pedestal contains a standard 19” rack to build in the
projector peripherals like alternative content 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 3-7).
2. If a fi lm projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B image 3-7).
Note: Unlike fi lm projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as possible, even if it is
signi fi cantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increase side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
