hDMI ™
HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates
an uncompressed high definition video signal with a
multichannel audio signal and allows exchange of control
data between the video source and the C3X1080. The
HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol
to protect their contents. Once the video source has been
connected to the HDMI input, internal processing by the
C3X1080 separates the video information from the audio
information. The audio information is made available on
a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in com-
pliance with the S/PDIF standard. You can use a DVI-D >
HDMI adapter cable to connect the DVI-D signal from a
source equipped with a DVI-D output.
COMPOSITE VIDEO
Fit an RCA connector with a Composite Video (CVBS)
signal to this input. The output connector on the external
appliance is normally coloured yellow and will often be
labelled VIDEO. Other signal and socket formats may be
preferable (because they give better image quality), but
this type of output socket is still the most commonly used,
and nearly all television receivers, video recorders, DVD
players and camcorders, etc. use it.
S-VIDEO
Fit a mini-DIN connector with an S-Video signal to this input.
The corresponding output at the external device is normally
identified by the labels S-VIDEO or Y/C. This type is nearly
as common as Composite Video, and is preferable to the
latter, since it gives higher image quality.

These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors.
RGB and Component signals can be applied to each
set of connectors. RGB signals may feature composite
synchronisation on the green signal (RGsB), or on the HV
signal. Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the
respective R, G, B inputs of the C3X1080 (taking care not
to invert the positions) and any synchronisation signals
to the HV. When hooking up, use the colours of the RCA
connectors as an aid as follows: the R connector is red,
G is green, B is blue and HV is white. You can use a SCART
to RCA adapter cable to connect the RGB signal from a
source equipped with a SCART output to this input.
The Component signals connect to the Y, Pr and Pb inputs:
take care that the inputs correspond to the outputs on the
source device. Since these may be labelled differently,
refer to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between
the various signals. As indicated in the table, the colours
of the connectors can also be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard
video resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with pro-
gressive scanning) can be applied to this input. Progres-
sive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced
signals, but if the source features both progressive and
deinterlaced signal outputs it is good practice to compare
the quality of the pictures reproduced by the C3X1080
in the two cases: the deinterlacing performed by the
C3X1080 is often more effective than that performed by
the source itself.
gRAPhICS RgB - YP r P b
This input should be connected to an RGB / YPrPb type
video or graphic signal using a cable with a DB15HD
type connector. The signal source device (typically a
personal computer or game console) must be able to
provide separate H/V synchronisation or composite H+V
synchronisation.

12 Volt
The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12
Vdc) for motorised projection screen and screen masking
systems, used for masking off the projection area to match
the projected image aspect ratio (Fig. 17). The +12V output
is activated when the projector is switched on (blue LED
on) and is de-activated when the projector is in standby
mode (red LED on). The output can be set with the Screen
control adjustment in the Aspect menu. This output allows
reduction of the area of a 16:9 screen, to a 4:3 format, by
activating a horizontal screen masking system.

RS232 INTERfACE CONNECTOR
The projector can be controlled from a PC: simply hook
up the interface connector to a RS232 serial cable or USB
1.1 cable from a PC.
