2.3. Thermal Considerations


The LC3000 unit is built with an active cooling design which pulls air from the top of the unit
and down onto the heatsinks. It is essential that the airflow is not inhibited for proper
operation and lifetime of the LED’s to be maintained.
WARNING: Inadequate airflow will result in overheating of the system and/or cause
overheating of the LED and DMD devices, causing them to fail early or possibly
immediately.
WARNING: Operating the system with a high ambient temperature may also cause
early LED and/or DMD failure.
CAUTION: When system is used for long periods of time with near maximum current
settings, the chassis can become very warm to the touch.

4. Software & Application Guide
This section uses screenshots to help describe the use of Keynote’s LC3000 Graphical User
Interface (GUI). Since Keynote continues to add valuable features to the GUI, you may notice
some differences in the look and feel between these screenshots and future versions of the
GUI.

4.1. Initial Setup


Before using your projector, you will need to download the proper control GUI software:
• Log onto the Keynote website using your customer access name and password. Navigate
to the LC3000 directory, open the Firmware and GUI folder, and download and install
the latest version of the software release. This is the control software for the LC3000
kits.
• Open the directory where you installed the control software and open the LC3000-GUI
application to run the LC3000 control software.
• When the user interface opens, Select the “Connect” button to start control of the
LC3000 (see Figure 11). This will initialize communication and display the unit’s revision
information.


Figure 11. LC3000 Control Software
If you have difficulty connecting, go to the Connection tab and ensure that the IP address is set
to the correct default (192.168.1.100). To change the IP address, simply enter any new IP
address in the “Current IP Address” box. The GUI will remember this change each time it is used
in the future.

4.2. Display Modes


The LC3000-G2-PRO projector allow the user to display images using four different modes:
static image/color, test pattern, HDMI port, and stored pattern sequences. Each mode is
described in detail below.



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 16 of 28
Static Image/Color
The LC3000-G2-PRO projector displays 608x684 bitmap image files that are mapped to the
DMD mirror. Note that since the DMD mirrors are diamond shaped, the image you see on a
monitor will appear distorted compared to the projected image. See Appendix B for details.
To display a static image:
• From the Display Mode dropdown box, select Static
Image and then select the “Set” button.




• To show a static image, from the
“Test Pattern/Image” tab, select the
“Browse” button in the Static Image
panel and locate your desired
608x684 image. Then select the
“Upload Selected File” button to
display the image.


Static images can also be uploaded and stored in 16 indexes ranging from 0 to 15. These images
can be displayed at any time. To upload an image to an index and then recall it:
• Set the Display Mode to Static Image.
• Under the “Indexed Static Image” section, select the “Browse” button to choose an
image.
• Use the dropdown menu to select an index number location, then select “Upload File to
Index.”
• To display an indexed image, select an index number from the dropdown menu, then
select “Display Indexed Image” to show the corresponding image.


The GUI can also be used to display a static color as a custom combination of red, green, and
blue.
• To show a static color, from the “Test
Pattern/Image” tab, set the desired color in
the Static Color panel. Then select the “Set”
button to display the image.



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 17 of 28

Internal Test Patterns


Fourteen basic test patterns have been preloaded onto your projector, ranging from solid
colors to simple lines and scales. These patterns can be used to test focus, LED functionality,
brightness, and more.
To display an internal test pattern:
• From the Display Mode dropdown box, select Internal
Test Pattern and then select the “Set” button.





• From the “Test Pattern/Image” tab,
select any of the test patterns in the
dropdown box in the Internal Test
Pattern panel. Then, select the “Set”
button.

Structured Light Sequences


Structured light sequences (pattern sequences) use a single color to display a monochrome
image with selectable bit depth. Pattern Sequences can be displayed in two different modes:
chipset mode and DMD 365. In Chipset mode, use the dropdown menus to select the desired
bit depth and number of patterns. To display more patterns than Chipset has the capacity for,
type a number into the pattern count dropdown box and the projector will automatically enter
DMD 365 mode, which has a much larger capacity.
Bit Pattern Capacity

o From the “Pattern Count” dropdown box, select the number of patterns to
include (1-96) or type in a custom number (97-1200) - Refer to Figure 12 above
o From the “LED Select” dropdown box, select any one color
o Set the Input Trigger to the desired setting
§ Command: Next image is shown when the user selects the “Next” button
§ Auto: Next image is shown automatically
§ External: Next image is triggered by an externally connected trigger (refer
to Figure 2 for the connector location)
§ Command (infinite exposure): Shows each image continuously to achieve
infinite exposure time until the Next button is selected (Bit depth must be
greater than 1, pattern count must be a multiple of 3)
o Type your desired exposure level into the appropriate box. This time (in
microseconds) determines how long each image is displayed
o Enable Play Once mode, if desired, to play through a pattern sequence one time
only
o Select the “Set” button
• From the “Load Pattern Image” panel,
o If uploading one image at a time, use the Number dropdown to select the
position in which to insert an image (starting at 0)
o If uploading multiple images at once, set the Number to the position of the first
image in the series being uploaded
o Browse and select a 608x684 .bmp image(s); in this example we use
“608x684_rgb24”
o Select the “Upload This” button (one image) or “Upload All” (multiple images)



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 19 of 28
• From the “Pattern Sequence Control” panel, select “Start” and use the “Next” button as

necessary
The displayed image is a step pattern of a single color (chosen by LED Select) with a binary
progression from 128 to 1.
To change settings: Under Pattern Sequence Settings, make any changes, then select the “Set”
button. If you are changing the number of images, you will need to re-upload the image files.
For more information, refer to Keynote’s Pattern Sequence Operation guide (see section 2.1).

HDMI Input
The projector can display video from a PC or any other device which send HDMI output.
To display HDMI video:
From the Display Mode dropdown box, select “HDMI Video”
and then select the “Set” button. The HDMI Port Display Mode
defaults to RGB Video Streaming Mode. The projector now
functions as if it were a standard monitor connected to any
video source via HDMI.
External Streaming Pattern Sequence Mode uses the same
mirror sequence settings as Pattern Sequence Mode. This allows the HDMI source to be
displayed in monochrome (1-8 bits) or full RGB color (1-4 bits). Depending on the chosen bit
depth and frame rate, the projector will display the parts of the image that correspond to one,
two, or all three LEDs.
For example, if the GUI was set to External Streaming Pattern Sequence: red, 8-bit, 60 Hz: the
projector would display, in 8-bit monochrome red, the portions of the source image that were
originally red and green. If the bit depth were then lowered to 7, the projector would be able to
display all three original colors, and would project this in a monochrome red 7-bit image.

4.3. Saving Solutions


The projector is capable of storing custom solutions which can be loaded at any time. A solution
saves the current display into memory to be recalled at any time. To store and recall a solution:
• Ensure that the GUI has been set to the proper settings and that the projector is
displaying the image that you would like to save as a solution.


Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 20 of 28
• Go to the “Solution” tab and in the “Create New Solution” panel, type a name for your
solution, then select “Save.”
• The new solution will be added to the list of stored solutions. Any solution can be
recalled by selecting its name, then selecting “Load.”
• To save a solution as default, select its name, then select “Default.” The default solution
is shown when the projector powers on. The current default solution is shown in blue
text.
• To toggle through solutions, press the Saved Solution Selection button on the system
board (See Figure 2, button 7).
• Note: HDMI settings cannot be saved as solutions.

4.4. Software Updates


If a new version of the GUI becomes available, install it just as you did the older version:
• Log onto the Keynote website using your customer access name and password. Navigate
to the LC3000 directory, open the Firmware and GUI folder, and download and install
the latest version of the software release.
• Open the directory where you installed the control software and open the LC3000-GUI
application to run the LC3000 control software.



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 21 of 28
5. Appendix A. Reducing USB connection delay
The default behavior of the LC3000-G2-PRO results in a significant delay before the Windows
GUI can connect to the projector following boot up. Following is a workaround to reduce the
delay posted by a TI employee on the TI E2E forums.
Keynote Photonics also provides a custom LC3000 driver free upon request which may improve
connection speed and quality.


Open the Control Panel and type “network connections” into the address bar. This will
open a screen showing wireless, LAN, and other connections.



Connect the projector to the desired USB port. (Note: This workaround is USB port-
dependent.) Apply power to the projector. As it boots a new LAN connection using
RNDIS Gadget will appear. Wait until the status no longer says “Identifying” or
“Acquiring network address”.



Open a cmd shell window and type “ipconfig /all”. A list of all network connections will be
displayed. Note the IPv4 address for the connection associated with the LC3000-G2-



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 22 of 28
PRO (the connection using RNDIS Gadget).



In the network connections window, right click on the projector’s network connection and
select Properties. In the LAN connection properties window select the Internet Protocol
Version 4 item and click the Properties button.




Select “Use the following IP address” and enter the IP address and Subnet mask for the
projector’s connection from the ipconfig query in the cmd window.



Doc #17011D003, Rev- Keynote Photonics Confidential Page 23 of 28

Click the OK and Close buttons to exit the configuration windows. When using the
configured USB port, the projector will establish communication within a few seconds of
finishing power up booting.

6. Appendix B: Understanding the Diamond Pixel format
The .30” WXGA DMD is a diamond-format DMD (shown in Figure 1) with a 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect
ratio. The diamond-format is a very effective way to display high resolution images.


Figure 13. Diamond pixels require specially formatted images
Due the diamond arrangements, the projector can be thought of as having a horizontal
resolution of 1216 columns and a vertical resolution of 684 rows. However, the diamond
arrangement has ½ as many pixels per column as an orthogonal (rectangular) array. So before
sending the image to the DLP3000 DMD, the DLPC300 Controller ensures that the image is
preformatted into an orthogonal format. It does this by converting each pair of “diamond”
columns into a single column. This enables the controller to send a properly formatted 608 x
684 orthogonal image to the DMD (see Figure 2):


Figure 14. The diamond oriented image is actually stored internally as an
orthogonal array
For machine vision and 3D printing applications, users will likely prefer operate the chipset in
native mode, allowing them to specify the exact pixel structure by preformatting the data for
the DMD. Examples of preformatted test images are shown in the following figures to illustrate
the comparison between the orthogonal input images and the displayed diamond-pixel
patterns (Figures 5-8).

Figure 15. Each column in a preformatted orthogonal image will generate two
diamond columns in the displayed pattern


Figure 16. Each row in a preformatted orthogonal image will generate a single
diamond row in the displayed pattern (or a single diamond column)


Figure 17. A pair of rows in a preformatted orthogonal image will generate two
diamond rows in the displayed pattern
