6.4.4 Asynchronous side-by-side
In asynchronous side-by-side 3D, the projectors utilize the BNC sync-in and sync-out con-
nectors to distribute a system wide display sync. This display sync is u\
sed by all projectors 
to perform frame rate conversion on the input signals if necessary. Figure 6-4 illustrates this 
setup.
Figure 6-4. Asynchronous side-by-side setup
As seen in Figure 6-4, an extra cable is connected between BNC sync-out on projector 1 
and BNC sync-in on projector 2. In this setup the projectors need the settings in the table 
below to send/utilize the display sync correctly.

6.5 Setting custom color space and digital level
The projector will automatically try to set the correct color space and digital drive level based 
on information from the source.
To manually override the automatically detected color space and digital l\
evel go to menu 
entry PICTURE -> ADVANCED. Set the “digital color space and level” to manual and selec\
t 
your color space and digital drive level.
6.6 Disabling IR receivers
The projector has 3 IR receivers as shown in chapter “4.1 Overview”.
These receivers can be individually disabled if necessary. Go to menu entry INSTALLATION > 
IR FRONT / IR REAR to disable the receivers.
6.7 Controlling screens with triggers
The projector has two programmable triggers with 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors. These can 
be used to enable or disable screens, curtains or other peripheral equipment.
To change trigger settings, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER
By default:
• Trigger 1 is set to control a screen depending on whether projector is powered on or not.
• Trigger 2 is set to control a screen depending on the aspect ratio of currently active 
source.
Both triggers can be manually overridden both in the menu system and by \
using the com-
mand and control protocol through RS-232 or LAN.
6.8 Setting aspect trigger behavior
To customize the aspect trigger functionality, go to menu entry INSTALLATION > TRIGGER > 
ASPECT TRIGGER BEHAVIOR. In this sub-menu it is selectable for which input aspect ratios 
the trigger will be enabled.
6.9 Automatic power on/off
The projector can be automatically powered on or off by using the internal timer function or 
DPMS.
6.9.1  Using the timer
The projector features a real-time clock that enables timing control. This means that the 
projector can be programmed to switch on and off at certain pre-set times during a weekly 
cycle.
To allow for a flexible schedule, 10 ‘programs’ are available. With each program, you can 
define the switch on or switch off time for a single day (Monday to Sunday), all work days 
(Monday through Friday), or week-end (Saturday and Sunday). One, several or all programs 
can be active at the same time as desired. In this way, a flexible scheme can be established. 
Observe the 24 hour time format. For more information, see the SETTINGS > TIMER menu.
The following example illustrates a case where the projector turns on at 08:00 in the morning 
(8 am) and switches off at 20:00 (8 pm) on weekdays (Monday through Friday). Weekends 
(Saturdays and Sundays), it turns on at 10:00 (10 am) and off at 18:00 (6 pm). VGA is used 
as the source. For this, four programs are needed, 2 for on and two for off.

6.9.2  Using DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling)
The projector is enabled for DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling). When\
 enabled, 
the projector will automatically switch to standby mode after a specified ti\
me if there is no 
valid source present at its inputs. When a valid source is reconnected, the projector will start 
up again.
To enable or disable DPMS, go to menu entry SETTINGS > DPMS. The desired DPMS time-
out is set in the DPMS > DPMS TIMEOUT menu entry. 
DPMS is disabled by default.
6.10 Disabling LED indicators
In certain installations it may desirable to completely disable the LED \
indicator in the keypad 
of the projector. To disable the LED indicators, go to menu entry SETTINGS > LED  
INDICATORS MUTE.
If the LED indicators are enabled, the timeout period can be set in the menu under SET-
TINGS > BACKLIGHT TIMEOUT.
6.11 Setting the background color
The background color displayed when the projector is searching for a source can be set to 
a set of predefined colors. Go to menu entry SETTINGS > BACKGROUND to set the des\
ired 
color. Default is black. Setting OSD menu timeout
If the OSD menu is open and not used for a defined period of time, it \
will automatically be 
disabled. The default time is 30 seconds. This timeout interval can be c\
ontrolled from 5 sec-
onds to 60 seconds. The timeout can also be set to “never” for the\
 OSD menu to never time 
out. Go to menu entry SETTINGS > MENU TIMEOUT to change this setting.
6.12 Selecting the startup logo
When the projector is starting up, a logo is displayed in the entire image. The logo can also 
be set to “black” if it is desirable to disable the manufacturers default logo. Go to menu entry 
SETTINGS > SPLASH to change this setting.
6.13 Setting OSD menu timeout
If the OSD menu is open and not used for a defined period of time, it \
will automatically be 
disabled. The default time is 30 seconds. This timeout interval can be c\
ontrolled from 5 sec-
onds to 60 seconds. The timeout can also be set to “never” for the\
 OSD menu to never time 
out. Go to menu entry SETTINGS > MENU TIMEOUT to change this setting.
6.14 Selecting the startup logo
When the projector is starting up, a logo is displayed in the entire image. The logo can also 
be set to “black” if it is desirable to disable the manufacturers default logo. Go to menu entry

7 Optimising the picture
The projector has power features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in 
using these features. All color calibration is done using projectiondesign’s proprietary Real-
Color™ solution.
7.1 Calibration data
All projectiondesign projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at 
the factory for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the\
 lamps the characteris-
tics of the projector might change slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.
7.1.1  Updating RealColor™ calibration data
For accurate results with the RealColor™ system, accurate measurement data is required. 
RealColor™ calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE\
 > CALIBRATION > 
REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES
X, Y and relative luminance values for red, green, blue, white and BrilliantColor™ 1 is entered 
in this menu. The BrilliantColor™ should all be set to 0.000 for the \
VizSim (RGBRGB) color 
wheel. All values can also be updated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or 
LAN.
Before setting these values, it is important to select the desired BrilliantColor™  
setting. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > BRILLIANTCOLOR to select\
  
the desired BrilliantColor™ look.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. This is in particularly important for 
the BrilliantColor™ 1 test pattern since it is impossible to generate this pattern correctly using 
a computer source. In the user menu these patterns can be accessed through PICTURE > 
CALIBRATION > REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION TESTIMAGE. Use the arrow 
keys to cycle through the images.  
Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured values to the  
values measured in the factory.
When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly recommended 
for accurate results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655) are preferred.
For an easier calibration procedure, automated calibration can be achieved using 
projectiondesign’s software package ProNet. A license for the calibration software 
package of ProNet must be purchased separately.

7.2  Working with RealColor™
7.2.1 Setting the BrilliantColor™ correctly
The BrilliantColor™ setting is used to control how color boost is applied in the image.  
It can operate in four modes:
•  Computer Native (Default): This give max brightness and color boost. R\
ecommended  
for non-video applications, like CAD and visualization.
• Computer Balanced: Gives the same brightness as Computer Native, but has\
 a less  
aggressive color boost profile.
• Video Native: Gives less brightness than computer, but will appear with significantly less 
noise in video content.
• Video Balanced: Same brightness as Video Native, but with a smoother color boost 
profile.
• Off: Only recommend for applications requiring a pure red, green, blue mix of colors.  
No secondary color or white are added to the mix.

7.2.3  RealColor™ operating modes
Before any color correction is applied to the image, the feature must be enabled. Go to menu 
entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
RealColor™ can operate in 3 modes:
• Color temperature/white point correction only.
• Red, Green, Blue, White correction. In this mode optimal color coordinates for Cyan, 
Magenta and Yellow will be computed automatically.
• Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White. In this mode color points and intensity 
for each color can be manipulated separately.
To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REAL\
COLOR > 
DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
7.2.4   Setting a white point or color temperature
After enabling RealColor™, set the color temperature in the menu entry PICTURE > REAL-
COLOR > COLOR TEMPERATURE. Values between 3200K and 9300K can be selected. 
These color temperatures are tracking the “black body curve”- the black curved line in the 
center of CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The default is the D65 illuminant at 6500K. 
Figure 7-7.  CIE Chart with the black body curve
The white point can also be set to a custom value defined by an x, y c\
oordinate not linked 
to the black body curve. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > X-COORDI\
NATE and 
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > Y-COORDINATE to change the white point.

7.2.5 Defining the system color gamut
All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The boundary of the colors 
the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle\
 in Figure 7-7 is 
an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system 
gamut, which is limited by the color wheel selected for the system. The \
VizSim color wheel 
has the widest color gamut and the High Brightness color wheel has the s\
mallest.
The system color gamut cannot be expanded outside color gamut defined \
by the  
color wheel.
It may be desirable to change the system color gamut of the projector to:
- Color match multiple projectors.
- Meet defined color standards, like REC 709.
- Create a special “look” to the image.
Before the system color gamut can be change the desired RealColor™ mode has to be  
defined. To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REAL\
-
COLOR > DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
RealColor™ has to be enabled for the desired system gamut to be applied. Go to menu entry 
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
After RealColor™ is enabled and the desired color correction mode is selected, please go 
the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > DESIRED VALUES to change the color points to 
the your desired system color gamut.
For graphical visualization of the system color gamut and easy color man\
agement for 
a single or multiple projectors, the ProNet software package could be used. A license 
for the calibration software package of ProNet must be purchased separately.
