INSTALLING THE CINEVISTA LENS
1.
Swing the arms that hold the CineVista Lens Bracket back out to their fullest extension
away from the projector and prepare to install the lens. You will need one of the #10-32
x
½
” screws (c) and black metal washers (d) for each side of the bracket as well as a
#10-32 x
½
” Knurled Washer (e) and the 1/8 Gold Hex Key (b).
2.
Holding the CineVista lens between the two “forks” of the lens bracket, place one of the
knurled washers between the lens and the fork. Then take one of the #10-32 x
½
”
metal washers (d) and place it over one of the screws (c) and insert the screw through
the fork into the receiving hole in the side of the CineVista Lens. Repeat the process
for the other side of the lens and snug the screws down but do not fully tighten them.
3.
Once the CineVista Lens is installed, swing it into place in front of the projector’s lens.
The CineVista Lens should be centered horizontally on the projector’s lens and should
have approximately
¼
” between the back of the CineVista lens and the front of the
projector’s lens or housing.
4.
There are three adjustments for positioning the CineVista Lens:
a) There is a
Pivot Screw
(B) on top of the
Adjustment Block
that allows the lens to
slide side-to-side along the front of the projector;
b) The
Swing Arms
(C) attached to the lens bracket adjust the distance between the
CineVista lens and the front of the projector;
c) The lens bracket
Adjustment Screws
(A) can be used to raise or lower the lens so
that the light beam from the projector shoots through the CineVista lens cleanly.
5.
Turn on the projector. REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE FRONT OF THE
CINEVISTA LENS or the image will be blurry.
TUNING IN LENS TILT AND SHIFT
This is the core step of the setup so please be patient!
1.
Use the projectors lens shift to move the image vertically so that it appears to be
centered on the screen. Once the 16x9 image is satisfactory swing the CineVista lens
into place in front of the projector’s lens.
2.
Loosen the lens bracket
Adjustment Screws
(A) and slide the CineVista lens up or
down until the beam is firing through the center of the lens. Make sure the lens bracket
Adjustment Screws
are roughly even in their vertical slot position or the image will show
an irregular geometry from right to left.
