Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury. In case of a lamp

rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential risk of inhaling mercury vapors:

• Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.

• Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.

• Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a pregnant

woman).

• Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, shortness

of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.

3.2 Installation guidelines

Ambient temperature check

Careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to

the optimum use of the projection system.

Max. ambient temperature : 40 °C or 104 °F

Min. ambient temperature : 0 °C or 32 °F

The projector will not operate if ambient air temperature falls outside this range (0°C- 40°C or 32°F-104°F).

Humidity Conditions

Storage: 0 to 98 % RH Non-condensing

Operation: 0 to 95 % RH Non-condensing

Environment

Do not install the projection system in a site near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or humidity. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that temperature near the installation site is not

excessive.

Environment condition check

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets as well

as free flow at the ventilation outlets. The installation must also allow easy access to the consumable parts ( dustfilters, lamps, ...)

For installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines

or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading

performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean

air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not

a feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered. Make sure that the

projector never runs with dirty dustfilters as this will dramatically reduce the lifetime of the consumables. It is advised to clean the

dustfilters on a regular basis and to replace them at any lamp change. Barco reserves itself the right to refuse warranty replacement

of consumables if they have been used in a projector with dirty airfilters. Only use the manufactures recommended cleaning kit which

has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on a projectors optics as these will

degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics .

Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culmi-

nate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be non-effective

R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007 11

3. Installation guidelines

and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufactures warranty and may deem the

warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the

clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the

environment of the projector. The manufacture reserves the right to refuse warranty repair if a projector has been subject to wantful

neglect, abandon or improper use.

What about ambient light ?

The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient

light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be

covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and

floor are of non-reflecting material. The use of recessed ceiling lights and a method of dimming those lights to an acceptable level

is also important. Too much ambient light will ‘wash out’ of the projected image. This appears as less contrast between the darkest

and lightest parts of the image. With bigger screens, the ‘wash out’ becomes more important. As a general rule, darken the room to

the point where there is just sufficient light to read or write comfortably. Spot lighting is desirable for illuminating small areas so that

interference with the screen is minimal.

Which screen type ?

There are two major categories of screens used for projection equipment. Those used for front projected images and those for rear

projection applications. Screens are rated by how much light they reflect (or transmit in the case of rear projection systems) given a

determined amount of light projected toward them. The ‘GAIN’ of a screen is the term used. Front and rear screens are both rated

in terms of gain. The gain of screens range from a white matte screen with a gain of 1 (x1) to a brushed aluminized screen with a

gain of 10 (x10) or more. The choice between higher and lower gain screens is largely a matter of personal preference and another

consideration called the Viewing angle. In considering the type of screen to choose, determine where the viewers will be located

and go for the highest gain screen possible. A high gain screen will provide a brighter picture but reduce the viewing angle. For

more information about screens, contact your local screen supplier.

Image size

The projector is designed for projecting an image size with a screenwidth from 1.00m (3.3ft) to 10.00m (32.8ft) with an aspect ratio

of 16 to 9.

Image retention

Image retention can affect LCD projectors, in extreme cases, permanent “burn” can occur if still/repetitive images are left on the

screen for long periods of time. Such damage to the panels is NOT covered by warranty.

Please ensure that the following precautions are taken to avoid this phenomenon :

1. Use a screensaver (that moves)

2. Periodically change/alter any background images on the desktop

3. Turn off the projector when not in use.

3.3 Network implementation

Network installation

The installation of the server in a Local Area Network must be done in the same way as the installation of a standard PC in that

particular network meaning that the same rules and accepted practice should be respected.

The assistance of qualified IT personnel is advised.

CAUTION:Important !

A Virus protection program should be installed and kept up to date to prevent virus infections.

CAUTION:The maintenance of the Server must be done in the same way as a PC meaning that the same rules

and accepted practice should be respected.

Backups should be taken on a regular basis.

In the same way virus updates should be done regularly.

Barco will not be held responsible for destroyed information in case of a hard disk breakdown or virus infec-

tion and has no obligation to pay for or reimburse for the cost of recovering data.

5.3 Setting up the RCU address

What has to be done ?

To allow the communication between the RCU and the projector the RCU has to be programmed with the same address as the

projector.

This address must be in the range 0–9.

To know the address of the projector, one can visualize it in projection mode (on screen) as well as in standby mode (shown with

the LED’s on top cover of the projector).

For more info on addresses see the appendix

At this stage the image projected may happen to be upside down or mirrored, this can be set in the Installation

menu under Projector orientation (see further setting up the projector’s orientation).

Displaying the Projector Address in projection mode)

1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.

The projector’s address will be displayed on the screen in a Textbox

Programming the RCU

1. Push the address key If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address (zero address) and

controls then all projectors in the room.

2. Enter the same address with the digit buttons within 5 seconds after pushing the address key.

The projector can now be controlled with the RCU.

For example : if the projector address is 3, then press "3" on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the

projector’s address.

Common address/Projector address : Beside the projector address, the projector disposes also of a Common

address which can be set to “0” or “1” (by default “0”).

In other words, an RCU set to address “0” will always control a projector regardless of its projector address

(since it uses the common address).

5.4 Setting up the projector address (only if necessary)

What can be done ?

The projector is shipped with projector address set to ”0”

In some cases the projector address must be changed, for example if an unique RCU is used to control 2 or more projectors (inde-

pendently).

5.9.3 Automatic startup

What can be done ?

The automatic startup allows to bypass the standby state i.e. start up without going in standby state after switching on the projector.

This means that the automatic startup allows immediate restart of the projector after a power failure (breakdown), i.e. without passing

through the standby state, by recovering the previous settings (previous source,...).

This function can be disabled if undesired or inadequate for safety reasons, etc.

CAUTION:If the Automatic startup function is enabled one must be aware of the fact that it involves safety

precautions

Make sure that the projector (or the operators!) will not be affected by altered environmental conditions when

restarting at power resume.

Unless it is required, it is advised to leave this setting OFF.

In case of a power breakdown, this may introduce unwanted conditions at power resume : projector starting

up with high lamp temperature conditions, bad PC status, ...

6.5 File dropping/launching

Only the Microsoft viewers (PPT, Word, Excel,...) are installed on the projector.

File dropping

Dropping a file means sending it to the projector using the DropZone interface.

The projector can then react in different ways depending on the drop mode selected :

• launch file

• launch file and share

• store file on the projector

File launching

Launch files: a file stored on the projector (server) or on the network can be accessed from a local PC (via the network) or from the

projector itself. Launching a file means “sending and starting up” a file (using the required software).

A PowerPoint file can be launched on your PC and projected in another place (by default only the PPT viewer is installed on the

projector ).

for iQ only : The file will only be projected if the “iQ PC” is selected in the source selection.

8.4.2 Aspect ratio

Aspect ratios

The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio. However, most of the DVD sources use nowadays the

widescreen 16:9 or even the CinemascopeTM 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Some DVD sources may even use the anamorphic 16:9 or anamorphic 2.35:1 to take advantage of the higher vertical resolution

offered by the 4:3 ratio. The “anamorphic” term means that the original wide screen image is squeezed in order to fit the 4:3 aspect

ratio.

We can conclude that the thumb rule for DVD projection is to always leave the projector in 4:3 format except when dealing with

anamorphic sources where the 16:9 setting allows the best reproduction.

8.4.5 Input balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals

When transporting signals, there is always a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.

The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbalanced,

Image 8-36

The objective of input balancing

The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three colors of a particular input

source.

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allows the same reference for Brightness and contrast control of the

picture !

These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source ( this explains also why each input

balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).

How can it be done ?

To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the black and the white level of

the source i.e. :

1. the source in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern

2. the source in question must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100 % black (background) full screen pattern

Image 8-37

White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a

100% white image (image A)

Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a

100% black image (image B).

The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots also called “digital noise”

94 R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007

8. Advanced

An alternative to a full screen White/black pattern is the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used

for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

Image 8-38

It is not necessary to adjust the black balance. Its value is automatically set to an optimal value (512).

8.6 Image files

Overview

• Introduction to Image files

• Load file

• Forced file load

• Auto Image

• Edit file

• Save as (create a custom file)

• Rename file

• Copy

• Delete

8.6.1 Introduction to Image files

Image files

An image file contains the main characteristics of a source (number of active lines,...). The projector’s memory contains a list of files

corresponding to the most common sources : standard files.

When a new source corresponds to one of these files, a custom file is created. The file is not automatically saved as a custom file.

The Save as... function allows to create and save a custom file.

The active file can always be edited in order to fit exactly the source specifications.

AutoImage creates automatically the best suited image file (custom file) for a new source. AutoImage is used

when :

- a new source is detected: AutoImage creates a new custom file which can always be edited if necessary.

- the AutoImage is launched via the button on the RCU, the projector’s OSD or from the desktop’s OSD

File notation

The notation of the image file happens as follows :

/Standard/SXGA+@60.xml

Type of file : standard or custom

8.6.2 Load file

When to load a file ?

In some cases the user wants a particular file to be used for the display of a particular source. In this case the user should load the

desired file from the image files menu. The load file option will allow the user to choose between several files corresponding more

or less to the active source specifications.

In normal operation the file selection (load) will be done automatically by AutoImage.

8.6.4 Auto Image

What can be done ?

AutoImage creates the best suited image file for the connected source.

It calculates/measures several source parameters :

• Total pixels per line

• Start pixel

• Phase

• Contrast/Brightness levels

Auto Image works only for data images.

The measure of the total number of pixels per line can be done through 2 methods

• Limited scan: a windowing system is used to allow fast tracking.

The operation takes about 20 seconds (depending on file)

• Full scan: tracking is done over the full range.

The operation takes about 1.5 minutes (depending on file)

HI AGC Hold interval

The Comb filter is by default enabled.

The AGC hold interval is the time interval in which the AGC is inhibited (AGC hold = no update in video amplitude measurement),

the advanced parameter allows to choose a short or long hold interval.

A long AGC hold interval eliminates Macrovision®disturbances since the AGC is hold during a long interval, thus reducing the

probability to encounter a Macrovision®pulse.

The sync locking setting is recommended for poor video signals (ex: poor TV signals).

Sharpness adjustment can be chosen to be coarse or fine.

It is recommended to use the default values.

Wireless LAN (point-to-point) is also possible (using the PCMCIA connection on the projector ) and comple-

ments the functionality of direct cabling.

9.1.2 Network functionality

What can be done ?

The network functionality allows the projector to perform several network functions thanks to network features which are required in

most corporate environments:

•Control & Management : wireless/wired (remote) control and monitoring of the projector(s) thanks to a user-friendly GUI (the

Client software).

•Diagnostics : diagnostics through a user-friendly GUI and automatic E-mail sending.

• Easy file (MS PowerPoint,...) manipulation and projection using the DropZone interface.

•Remote control of the projector by allowing the desktop to be shared over the network (the DropZone interface).

•Streaming media : The projector’s onboard computer is streaming video data ready, i.e. allowing the decoding of video stream-

ing data coming from a server via the LAN.

118 R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007

9. Network centric operations

The network centric projector may be configured in the same way as a standard PC to support :

- SNMP service : provides diagnostics, basic control via SNMP messaging

- Microsoft Exchange services: for scheduling of projector tasks.

- Web client : offers an alternative to the Client software through a user-friendly internet based

interface (includes almost the same features as the Client software)

See the Appendix “General guidelines on Network configuration” for general guidelines on how to enable

these services.

The PiP tool allows to manage the PiP of the projector in a more user friendly way:

• a check box list allows to choose between 10 PiP layout (5 preset layouts and 5 personal layouts)

• several buttons allow operations on windows (add, remove ) as well as on the PiP layouts (save, ...)

• a graphical screen allows easy altering of the PiP layout : re sizing, positioning of the different windows.

9.3 Configuration

9.3.1 E-mail messaging

What can be done ?

E-mail messaging allows the projector to generate automatically E-mail and send them to three configurable recipients.

The mail can be sent on a regular basis i.e. daily, weekly or monthly or can be triggered by warnings.

Basically two different configurations must be done:

• content

• timing

Content configuration

The content configuration allows to define the content of the E-mail

• general content

• advanced content

Timing configuration

E-mail sending can be set to be time dependent or status dependent

130 R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007

9. Network centric operations

• daily : E-mail is sent every day, the time can be set

9.4 Remote desktop sharing (virtual meeting)

What can be done ?

The remote desktop sharing in the DropZone allows to visualize the projected image i.e. the desktop of the projector PC on a local

PC.

Besides Desktop sharing one can take the Control (mouse and keyboard control) over a presentation (using NetmeetingTM). The

control over the presentation can be taken or passed at any time.

The configuration consisting of several remote or local meeting participants sharing the same information content is called a virtual

meeting.

In this virtual meeting each meeting participant can participate to the meeting either in a passive way, by following the meeting on

his local desktop (remote desktop sharing), or in an active way by controlling the server’s desktop (mouse and keyboard).

Control over the desktop can be requested, forwarded or released.

9.5 The Web client

Web based functionality

The aim of the web services is to allow each network client within the LAN environment to browse via its internet browser to the web

client.

This may be seen as an alternative to the client software since the main control & diagnostic tools are also present. Its advantage

resides in the fact that no software has to be installed on the local PC, the internet takes while the html page generation is done

locally on the server.

How to access the web client via the internetbrowser?

To access the web client, the http link has to be filled in on the client’s internet browser.

This http link contains the name of the projector/display i.e. the name under which it is identified within the LAN.

136 R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007

9. Network centric operations

Image 9-35

Web interface

What can be done ?

The possibilities are mainly the same as on the client software.

The web interface allows a user friendly way to manage the projector/display, its use being straightforward and similar to the client

interface (ref).

Requirements for the use of the Web client

Some components have to be installed or enabled on your local (client) operating system to allow access to

the Web client.

See the Appendix “ General guidelines on network configuration” for general guidelines on how to enable

these services. .

The minimal server software version should be V1.10 to allow the use of the Web client.

B. General guidelines on Network Configuration

B. GENERAL GUIDELINES ON NETWORK

CONFIGURATION

Overview

• General Network

• The Internet and Web services

The installation of the iQ Pro in a Local Area Network must be done in the same way as the installation of

a standard PC in that particular network meaning that the same rules and accepted practice should be re-

spected.

The assistance of qualified IT personnel is advised.

B.1 General Network

An Administrator password has been installed for security reasons (worm and virus protection):

Password : Barco (case sensitive !)

Microsoft NT Domain

To enable access to your network resources, the iQ Pro must be a member of your NT Domain.

This can be configured in the Control Panel, under “System”, in the “Computer Name” tab, under the button “Network ID”. You’ll

need some help from the Network Administrator, since you need special rights to do this.

TCP/IP

The iQ Pro uses TCP/IP networking, so it needs the IP address, network mask, broadcast address, gateway, dns, wins, etc. to be

configured. This can be done in the Control Panel, under “Network Connections”. This can however be configured automatically, if

your network uses DHCP.

B.2 The Internet and Web services

Internet access

If you want to access the Internet from the iQ Pro, and the projector is located behind a firewall, you will also need to configure

the proxy to use. This can be done in the Control Panel, under “Internet Options”, in the tab “Connections”, under the button “LAN

Settings”.

iQ Pro Web services

To use the iQ Pro web client, you might need to change the “LAN Settings” on your local computer

If the client thinks the projector is on the Internet, and tries to connect to it through the proxy, you can turn on the “Bypass proxy

server for local addresses” feature, or add the projector to the Exceptions list under the “Advanced” button.

The “Internet Information Services(IIS) ” component has to be installed on the operating system.

SNMP

To enable management via the IQProSNMP Agent, you must enable the SNMP system service, and configure the communities

accordingly.

This can be done in the Control Panel, under Administrative Tools, in the Services, under the entry “Management and Monitoring

tools”. You may also need to enable SNMP in the iQ Pro Control Server in de suystem tray, see image below.

For more info, see "SNMP services", page 151

Microsoft Exchange and Outlook

To enable control via the Microsoft Exchange integration, you need to install, enable and configure the IQProEXCH module.

To enable control from Microsoft Outlook, you need to install, enable and configure the IQProEXCH module, and install an Outlook

Form on the Exchange Server in your network.

For more info, see "Exchange", page 143

C. Exchange

C. EXCHANGE

Introduction

Some parameters values are installation dependent, and are shown here as an example.

You may need assistance from you network administrator, IT Manager or MIS helpdesk to obtain the settings or to configure

the projector for you, since this is a task description targeted to ‘Administrators’ and needs knowledge and/or permissions

normally held by those persons.

It is advised that you first try to follow the procedure to obtain a working setup, before changing the settings for conforming to your

local security requirements.

Use of this software requires a working Microsoft Exchange server installed somewhere in your corporate network.

C.1 Exchange Installation

C.1.1 Installation procedure

Creating a user account and mailbox

1. Create a user account in your NT Domain (on the projector).

The service will use this account to log on to the domain, and as credentials to authenticate to Microsoft

Exchange to read the entries in the Calendar folder of the Mailbox.

Username: iqpro

Domain: BARCO

Password: pwiqpro

2. Create a Mailbox for the projector’s account on the Microsoft Exchange Server (on your LAN).

The NT Domain user created in step 1 should have read access to this Mailbox.

Server: “BARCOEXCHSRV”

Mailbox: “Projector, IQPRO”

User: BARCO\iqpro

Installing and configuring Microsoft Outlook (on the projector)

1. Install Microsoft Outlook on the Projector.

Note: To be able to access Microsoft Exchange, you need a Client Access License.

Once you have one of those, you also have a license to Microsoft Outlook.

Refer to the following URL for more information: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sam/licensing/cal_guide/ex-

change.asp

Tip: Outlook can be installed from the Microsoft Exchange Server CDROM or from a Microsoft Office Suite Installation

CDROM.

Since the IQ Pro has no CDROM drive, you may need to use a CDROM drive shared from a PC in the network.

Alternatively, you could use a USB CDROM drive.

2. Make sure the projector is part of the domain

Tip: This can be done in Control Panel->System->Computer Name->Change

3. Log in on the projector as the user

User: iqpro

Domain: BARCO

Password: pwiqpro

Tip: If the user cannot log on, the Local Administrator should add the right “Log on locally” for the user.

This must be configured in Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy

4. Configure Outlook

Profile Name: “MS Exchange Settings”

This is what the wizard proposes by default, and what is used in this document.

Default Mail Client: yes

Note: Make sure that MS Outlook is the default Mail Client for this account.

You can do this afterwards from this configuration page: Start->Control Panel->Internet

Options->Programs->Email For more information, refer to :

http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/troubleshooting/outlook/LS/101801.asp

Enabling the account

1. Log on to the projector as an Administrator for the next steps.

R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007 143

C. Exchange

For security reasons, you will probably not want to make the projector account part of one of the

administrator groups.

2. Enable the account to be used by the “iQ Pro Exchange Integration” service

3. In the Tree of the “Local Security Settings” application, navigate to Security Settings->Local Policies->User

Right Assignment.

4. In the List, edit the “Log on as a service”, and add the account, in the example “BARCO\iqpro”.

Installing and configuring the iQProEXCH service

Step 1,2,3 refers to the manual installation. One can use the SETUP.EXE program instead.

1. Copy the file IQProEXCH.EXE to (eg.) C:\Program Files\BARCO\iQ Pro Server

2. Open a command line, and go to the that directory

3. Type the following command IQProEXCH /Service

4. To configure, right click the “IQ Pro Server” tray icon, and go to the tab “Exchange”

Enter the credentials

Image C-1

system tray

Image C-2

server exchange tab

5. To enable the “IQProEXCH” service go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->IQPro Exchange

go to the TAB “General Startup” and Type: Automatic

Make the service use the correct account TAB Log On

Select “Local System Account”

Check “Allow service to interact with desktop”

6. Start the service, or reboot the projector.

You should now be able to schedule commands from a Microsoft Exchange client such as Outlook

running on any computer on the local network, provided you have the necessary permissions on the

Calendar in the projector mailbox.

C.1.2 Troubleshooting

The file C:\Program Files\BARCO\IQ Pro Server\IQProEXCH.log and the “Event Log” may contain helpful in-

formation to diagnose what’s going wrong

What can go wrongandwhattodo?

1. The log file contains “Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password”

Check Username, Password and Domain in Control Server/Exchange

2. The log file contains “Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.”

The user account must be given the “Log on as a service” permission. This is done in Start/Control

C. Exchange

Panel/Administrative Tools/ Local Security Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Right

Assignment. In the list, add the user to the entry “Log on as a service”

3. The log file contains “Could not log on with Profile ’MS Exchange Settings’” Make sure the profile exists. To check this, log

in to the projector as the user (BARCO\iqpro), as the profile should be owned by the projector account, and Outlook-profiles are

per-account. Start/Control Panel/Mail

4. The user cannot log on to the projector. The Administrator should add the right “Log on locally” for the user. This must be

configured in the Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy

In the list, add the user to the entry “Logonasaservice”

5. When trying to start the service, the projector beeps, and the service stays in the ‘starting’ state

This happens when the service tries to display an error in a popup, but cannot access the desktop. Control

Panel/Administrative Tools/Services/IQPro Exchange

Check “Allow service to interact with desktop”

You may need to end the process ‘IQProEXCH’ from the task manager.

6. The commands are not executed at the right time

Check the time of the computer and the timezone Start/Control Panel/Date and Time/Timezone

7. An Outlook dialog box is displayed stating that there is no default mail client.

Make sure that MS Outlook is the default Mail Client for this account. You can do this from this

configuration page: Start/Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs/Email

You may need to do this as administrator, since the service is started as ‘Local System’ account.

Tip: For more information, refer to http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/troubleshooting/outlook/LS/101801.asp

C.2 Exchange Integration

Introduction

The projector must be configured to connect to a mailbox on a Microsoft Exchange server in the network, which is dedicated to the

projector, and to which of course the projector has rights to connect to.

The commands should be put in the SUBJECT of an appointment in the Exchange Calendar of the projector. The Start Time and

End Time of the appointments are used for timing info. The other fields (location, categories, body, … ) are not used by the software,

and thus can be used to store extra information for the USERS of the projector mailbox.

C.2.1 Command

How are the commands build up ?

• Command filename/filepath

The parameter filename is a filename relative to the “Receive” directory of the iQ Pro Control Server, which, in a default installation,

would typically be the local folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Received” The parameter filepath is an absolute path to a

file.

The commands should be put in the SUBJECT of an appointment in the Exchange Calendar of the projector. This is a mailbox on

a Microsoft Exchange server in the network, which is dedicated to the projector, and to which of course the projector has rights to

connect to.

The command and the filename are separated by a space.

Overview of the commands

•ON

•STANDBY

• PAUSE

• PAUSE ON

• PAUSE OFF

•LOGO

•LOGOON

•LOGOOFF

• SWITCH SOURCE

•SWITCHLAYOUT

• LAUNCH ATTACHMENT

• STORE ATTACHMENT

•STOREfilename

•STOREFILEfilepath

• LAUNCH filename

• LAUNCH FILE filepath

• DELETE filename

• DELETE FILE filepath

ON, STANDBY

The projector is put in the specified state at the beginning of this event. Beware that if the SBC (Single Board Computer) is to be

powered-down during STANDBY, that further events will not be processed, since the integration runs on that SBC.

PAUSE, LOGO

The projector is put in the specified state at the beginning of this event, and the state is undone at the end of this event. o A parameter

ON or OFF can be specified to choose between the actions. This action will then be executed at the beginning. So “PAUSE from

12:00 to 13:00” is equivalent to “PAUSE ON at 12:00” + “PAUSE OFF at 13:00”

SWITCH SOURCE, SWITCH LAYOUT

The projector switches source or layout at the beginning of this event.

LAUNCH ATTACHMENT

The attachment is saved at the beginning of this event. Then the associated application is started. o At the end of the event, the

application is killed. This can not be guaranteed if the application was already running on the projector. For example, if a web page

is being displayed, and a second one is launched, the application is not started, but the original browser displays the page. In this

case the second event can not control the browser. This is a limitation of the Windows platform.

STORE ATTACHMENT

The attachment is saved at the beginning of this event. The name of the attachment is used and the file is placed in the Receive

folder.

STORE filename

The attachment is saved at the beginning of this event. The name filename is used and the file is placed in the Receive folder. For

example “STORE MYFILE.PPS” will save the attached file to “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Received\MYFILE.PPS”

STOREFILEfilepath

The attachment is saved at the beginning of this event. The path filepath is used as absolute filename. For example, the command

“STORE FILE C:\My Videos\MYFILE.AVI” will store the attachment as C:\My Videos\MYFILE.AVI. This of course if permissions are

correct and the directory C:\My Videos exists

DELETE filename

The file with name filename is deleted from the receive folder. For example “DELETE MYFILE.PPS” will delete “C:\Documents and

Settings\All Users\Received\MYFILE.PPS”

DELETE FILE filepath

The file with absolute name filepath is deleted. For example, the command “DELETE FILE C:\My Videos\MYFILE.AVI” will store the

attachment as C:\My Videos\MYFILE.AVI.

Drop down list

Besides the above commands some predefined commands can be selected from a drop down list in the iQPro tab.

2. turn the projector on at 13:00 and launch a different attached file

3. show the logo from 14:29 to 14:31 to hide the killing of the application and the starting of the PDF Viewer

4. at 14:30, lauch the PDF file that was stored in step 1 5

5. kill the application and put the projector in standby at 16:00

6. delete the PDF file that was stored in step 1

C.2.3 Microsoft Outlook Integration

Adding Outlook forms

To make things easier for users, you can install an Outlook Form that adds a tab called “iQ Pro” to the appointment. The form

contains the most-used commands in easy-to use drop-down lists. It looks as follows:

R5976821 BARCO ICON 15/03/2007 147

C. Exchange

Image C-5

The form contains the functionality that a normal user should be able to use without consulting the documentation.

The attachments, date and time fields must be edited in the “Appointment” tab.

Choosing items from the drop-down boxes fills in the subject.

By default, the layouts “Full-screen” and “2by2 raster” are defined in the form.

If you add layouts on the projector(s) or change the defaults, the user must type the name of the layout in the subject.

The form can be modified to make things easier for users, one can also add the defined layouts to the drop-down list. This must be

done from Outlook, in the menu “Tools->Forms->Design This Form”

Organizational Forms

The administrator should install Organizational Forms on the Exchange Server in the “Organizational Forms”

library.

Default form

Now the form still needs to be set as a default for creating new items. When returning to the “Forms” tab in the “Calendar Properties”

you should now see the “iQ Pro” template installed. Now go to the “General” tab and select the template as default for posting to

the folder.

C.2.5 Limitations and known “problems”

Overlapping tasks

When launching 2 attachments with overlapping times it is possible for the application to exit at the end of the first period. For

example, let’s say we try to display PRES1.PPT from 12:00 to 13:30, and PRES2.PPT from 13:00 to 14:30, it is possible for BOTH

presentations to exit at 13:30. This is because Windows uses the same process to display both files, and activates them via DDE.

Image C-11

This is a limitation in the Microsoft Windows ShellExecuteEx API

Avoid overlapping schedules in this case, or change the associations in: My Computer->Tools->Folder Op-

tions->File Types->(extension)

Try to disable DDE (under Edit with the default action, eg ‘open’, selected) and/or disable ‘Browse in same

window’ or using a different viewer/player for the file type.

D. SNMP SERVICES

Introduction

Some parameters values are installation dependent, and are shown here as an example.

You may need assistance from you network administrator, IT Manager or MIS helpdesk to obtain the settings or to configure

the projector for you, since this is a task description targeted to ‘Administrators’ and needs knowledge and/or permissions

normally held by those persons.

It is advised that you first try to follow the procedure to obtain a working setup, before changing the settings for conforming to your

local security requirements.

D.1 SNMP installation

Introduction

The Control Server version should be at least version 1.10.

To check the version, open the about box from the server tray:

Software updates can be obtained from the BARCO support website: ftp://ftp.barco.com/pub/iq_pro_software/

or from secured website PartnerZone

How to install SNMP (only if necessary)

1. TheMicrosoftSNMPservicemustbeinstalled

You may need to install this service from the Windows XP CDROM.

2. Install the SNMP Agent Extension dll regsvr32 IQProSNMP.dll

The agent should now be registered as “iqpro” under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents

How to configure SNMP (only if necessary)

1. Go to the Control panel, under the Administrative Tools, in the Services, in the “SNMP” entry.

2. In the “General” tab, you can enable the service, and make it start automatically.

D. SNMP services

3. In the “Security” tab, the default Community is called ‘public’ and is read-only.

You may want to give read-write permission to ‘public’ (not recommended) or create a ‘private’ community

with read-write permissions.

4. In the Control Server, enable the SNMP support, and optionally, enable read-write support.

5. The SNMP service should be restarted, to take the changed settings into account.

To uninstall the snmp agent: regsvr32 /u IQProSNMP.dll

E. MAINTENANCE

E.1 Cleaning the lens

To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed

recommendations for cleaning. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing

it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.

Necessary tools

Tor a ysee TM cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

Howtocleanthelens?

Proceed as follow :

1. Always wipe lenses with a CLEAN TorayseeTM cloth.

2. Always wipe lenses in a single direction.

Warning: Do not wipe back and forwards across the lens surface as this tends to grind dirt into the coating.

3. Do not leave cleaning cloth in either an open room or lab coat pocket, as doing so can contaminate the cloth.

4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smears are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

CAUTION:Do not use fabric softener when washing the cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the

cloth.

Do not use liquid cleaners on the cloth as doing so will contaminate the cloth.

Other lenses can also be cleaned safely with this TorayseeTM cloth.
