Panamorph Paladin Installation Manual - Before Lens Installation

BEFORE LENS INSTALLATION
1. Install the Attachment Kit. This is the XM2, XMU or XMU-S Attachment Plate
with hardware and instructions that are typically packaged with your Panamorph
lens system.
2. Make mechanical adjustments to your projection system so that a 16:9 test
image is horizontally centered on your UltraWide projection screen using little or
no horizontal lens shift or keystone adjustment and so the top and bottom edges
of the image are parallel with the top and bottom edges of the screen.
Before installing a Paladin Lens, adjust the projector zoom so you can see the
left and right edges of the 16:9 test image on the screen slightly inside the
screen border. Adjust the vertical image height to provide the same amount of
image spill above and below the screen. Adjust any available convergence
controls on the projector to make sure there is no color fringing visible when
projecting fine white lines.
Before installing a Phoenix Lens, adjust the projector zoom (with added vertical
lens shift as needed) so you can see the top and bottom edges of the 16:9 test
image on the screen slightly inside the screen border.
INSTALLING THE PALADIN OR PHOENIX LENS
1. Locate and remove (if not already removed) the Lens Bracket from the Lens by
removing the four Bracket Screws (see following illustration), leaving the Bracket
Arms attached to the Lens. Please leave the protective film on the lens for now.
Contact Panamorph for instructions for optionally mounting the lens upright onto to a
high shelf.
2. From the Attachment Kit, insert the two 3/4” Bracket Attachment Screws up through
the Lens Bracket and tighten using the included Hex Key.
OPTIONAL FOR LARGER PROJECTORS: Instead of the 3/4” screws, use the
larger Bracket Attachment Screws with the Bracket Attachment Spacers if you
determine or desire that the Lens should vertically extend farther from the
Attachment Plate to properly position it in the projector beam. You may wish to
preview step 5 below to get a feel for this vertical positioning.
