General guide lines
• Use a solid pedestal to put the Prometheus 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 a manner that the projector front cover is at a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters from the port window.

Positioning at port window
Barco offers a pedestal for the Prometheus. 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
Prometheus. Futhermore, the universal pedestal contains a standard 19” rack to build in the projector periph-
erals 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 3-2).
2. If a fi lm projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B image 3-2).
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 increases side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
