Introduction

TransVision

™ 

4 is a High Definition Digital Video Projection system comprising 

of two complementary components: a High Definition Video Projector featuring 
Dark Chip

™ 

2 Digital Light Processing (DLP

) technology from Texas Instru-

ments and a Digital Video Processor. The TransVision

 4 offers an outstanding 

progressive scan HDTV images with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 720 (720P) 
native resolution.

The TransVision

 Projector may be floor or ceiling mounted and configured 

for front or rear projection.

The Digital Video Processor is designed to be located at the video sources. 

It  accepts a total of 10 video inputs, provides source switching, digital video 
processing of analog and digital video sources and delivers a 720p digital 
output to the Projector via a proprietary DVI cable.

The ten video inputs include: two HDCP compliant DVI-D; two RGB; two 

Component Video; two S-Video and two Composite.

Signal connections between the Digital Video Processor and the Projector 

are made through a proprietary DVI cable with a Control Signal. The Control 
Signal is used to transmit bi-directional control signals (on, off, lamp status…) 
between the Projector and the Processor.

An infrared learning wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects 

the input source and adjusts all of the operating controls. The system may also 
be controlled from the front panel or from a RS-232 serial port. 

IR sensors on both the Projector and the Processor allow the system to be 

controlled from either unit. 

Video and image settings for each individual video input may be adjusted 

and stored separately in the system’s memory.  These settings are recalled for 
each input and video type when selected.

The TransVision

 4 determines the video signal type by measuring horizon-

tal and vertical scanning frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined 
video source,  the TransVision

 4 selects  video and image settings from the 

system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i, 580p, 
1080i, 540p, and 720p and computer sources VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA.

In addition to predefined video sources, the TransVision

 4 allows the user 

to create up to three new video source memory locations per video input.

For more details on how to create memory location for new video sources 

refer to the “

Image Setup Menu.

Two programmable 12 volt screen trigger outputs are also provided to trig-

ger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift, or other relay activated device.
