General guide lines
• Use a solid pedestal to put the Prometheus III 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.

Barco offers a pedestal for the Prometheus III. 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 III. Futhermore, the universal pedestal contains a standard 19
” rack to
build in the projector peripherals like alternative content switchers.
Required 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 4-2).
2. If a film projector is already present (projector will be off-center), try to optimize aim (see ref B Image 4-2).
Note: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as
possible, even if it is significantly above the screen center.
The off-center position slightly increases side keystone, but will minimize horizontal lens offset required.
