WARNING: Be careful while w orking with heavy loads.

WARNING: Mind your ﬁng ers wh ile working with heavy loads.

1.2 Important safety instructions

To prevent the risk of electrical shock

• This product should be opera ted from a mono phase AC power source. Power input voltage range m ust be between 100 -

240V, 2 - 1A, 50 - 60Hz

• Warning: T his apparatus must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable.

• If yo u are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact y our electrician to replace your ob solete outlet. Do not defea t the

purpose of the grounding type plug.

• Do not allow any thing to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the c ord. To disconnect

the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• If an extension c ord is used with this product, make s ure that the total of the am pere ratings on the products plugged into the

extension cord does not exceed the extension cord am pere rating.

• Use only the power cord supplied with your d

evice. While appearing to be similar, other power cords have not been safety

tested at the factory and may not be used to powe r the device. F or a re placement power cord, contact your dealer.

• Never push objects of a ny kind into this product t hrough cabinet slots as t hey may touch dangerous voltage points or sho rt out

parts that could result in a risk of ﬁre or electrical shock.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the set and have it

checked by qualiﬁed service personnel before resuming op erations.

1. Safety

To prevent personal injury

• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before connecting to the wall

outlet .

• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the device. Only one person is needed to lift up the device but we advice 2 persons.

• Before attem pting to remove any of the device’s c overs, you must disconnect from the wa ll outlet.

• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product m ay fall, causing serious da mage to it and

possible injury to the user.

• This device c ontains Optical Disk Drives (ODD), such as a DVD drive, w hich has a built-in laser device. To prevent any risk

of exposure to las er radiation, do not disab le or open any O DD assembly for any reason. This ODD device c ontains no user

adjustments nor any user serviceable or replaceable parts.

To prevent device damage

• In order to ensure that correct airﬂow is m aintained, and that the device complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC )

requirements, and for safety requ irements, it shou ld always be o perated with all of it’s covers in place.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro vided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from

overheating, these openings must not be blocked or cov ered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product

on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should nev er be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The

device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

• The device must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free ﬂow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of

the hot air. Heat s ensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the ex hausted air.

• Ensure that nothing can be spilled o n, or dropped inside the device. If this does happen, s witch off a

nd unplug the mains supply

immediately. Do not operate the device again until it has been checked by qualiﬁed s ervice technicians.

• Do not use this equipment near water.

• Always transport the de vice in its ﬂightcase.

• Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol c leaners. Use a dam p cloth for

cleaning. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the c abinet.

Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution.

• Rated maximum ambient temperature, t

= 40 °C (104°F)..

To prevent battery explosion

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly installed.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of u sed batteries according to the manufacturer ’s instruction.

To prevent ﬁre hazard

• Warning “Risk of ﬁre”. Do not place ﬂamm able or com bustible materials near the device !

This device radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation duc ts during normal operation, which is both normal and

safe. Exposing ﬂamm able or combu stible materials into c lose proximity of this device could result in the spontaneous ignition

of that material, resulting in a ﬁre. F or this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external

surfaces of the device whereby no ﬂammable or co mbus tible materials are present.

• Mount the device in a well ventilated ar ea away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light.

• Never ex pose the device to rain or m oisture.

• In the event of ﬁre, use sand, CO

, or dry p owder ﬁ re extinguishers; nev er use water on an electrical ﬁre.

• This product should never be placed near or ov er a radiator or heat register.

• This dev ice should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unles s proper ventilation is provided.

On servicing

• Do not attempt to s ervice this product yourself, as o pening or removing covers may expose you to dan gerous voltage p otentials

and risk of electric shock.

• Refer all s ervicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

• Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁed service technicians under the following c onditions:

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has bee n spilled into the equipment.

- If the produ ct has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the product does not operate normally wh en the operating instructions are followed.

- If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has b een dam aged.

- If the pr oduct exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

• Replacement parts: When replacement par ts are re quired, be sure the service technician has used original Barco replace-

ment parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in degraded performance and reliability, ﬁre, electric shock or other haz ards.

Unauthorized substitutions may void warranty.

• Safety check: Upon completion of any service or r epairs to this device, ask the service technician to perform safety c heck s to

determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

DMX IN - OUT

DMX is used as communica tion bus be tween a lighting desk and the DML-1200 system. T he M ediaW ing has an input and a loop

through ou tput, so that the bus can be daisy chained between the different d evices. According to the standard a two pair cable with

shield and XLR 5pin connec tor is used .

You can u se the D MX input port (2

) to connect a DMX device or a lighting console. The D MX output port (3) can be connected to

the next device in the daisy chain. This way you can control the DM L-1200’s and the MediaW ing from that lighting cons ole.

Overview

The MediaW ing uses t he following software pac kages

• Projector Toolset with DM L plug-in

• EMP M anager

Projector Toolset

Projector Toolset software is used to create a conﬁguration of all available DML devices on the set. Each device is given a unique IP

Address as standard from the factory in the A rt-Net range. Devices can be grouped s o that they c an be controlled as single device.

Commands send to this gro

up are executed by all devices in this group. For more information about Projector Toolset for DML,

consult the Projector Toolset Reference G uide R59770277.

For the EMP Ma nager to wo rk you need to save the created conﬁguration for further use in EMP Manager.
