    3-32 020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07) 
    Advanced Image Settings — SUBMENU 
    Use the Advanced Image Settings submenu 
    to make the adjustments necessary for lesser-
    used but more specialized applications on 
    your projector. 
    GAMMA TABLE: This control applies a 
    default video, graphics or simple gamma 
    table or “curve” to your images, controlling 
    the intensity of mid-level colors and 
    producing maximum contrast, brightness and 
    color performance. As shown at right, the graphics curve is a modified power curve 
    that will show more detail in darker areas of the projected content while the video 
    curve has a linear segment near black to compensate for increased black levels typical 
    of video signals. A simple gamma curve is a 
    true power curve that does not alter the 
    contrast or the intensity of mid-level colors. 
    Although the projector automatically applies 
    either the graphics or video curve according to 
    what type of incoming signal is detected, in 
    some cases you may wish to override this 
    default and use graphics gamma for a video 
    source or video gamma for a graphics source. Alternatively, if neither default is ideal, 
    you may prefer to apply the simple (non-optimized) gamma curve or a user-defined 
    custom gamma curve that has been created externally, named, and downloaded to the 
    projector (requires separate PC-based Arbitrary Gamma
     and KoRE Librarian software 
    applications). If any of these special user curves have been installed, their names will 
    appear in the Gamma Table pull-down list. 
    Keep in mind that any Gamma Table choice sets the related Gamma value (shown in 
    the Image Settings menu) to a 2.2 default, where it can be fine-tuned as desired. 
    Different values (1-3) here indicate that the original gamma table has been adjusted 
    with either the Gamma slide bar or direct key. 
    NOTES: 1) If no user curves have been defined and downloaded to projector memory, 
    only the 2.2 default gamma curve is available here – adjust as desired using gamma 
    in the main Image Settings menu. 2) Some graphic material will look best with the 
    video setting while some video material is best with the graphic setting. 
    SELECT COLOR ADJUSTMENT: In “Select Color Adjustment”, 
    choose an overall color palette for all images. The “Max 
    Drives” factory default simply drives all three colors at their 
    maximum level so that they are fully on and cannot be 
    changed. The two other pre-defined color adjustment 
    choices—SD Video and HD Video—apply a color gamut 
    optimized for video sources (standard or high-definition). 
    Alternatively, you can specify a color temperature. This 
    enables the adjacent Color Temperature slide bar and applies 
    its current setting (default = 6500K). If none of the pre-
    defined “Select Color Adjustment” options or color temperatures suits your 
    application, select one of four color gamuts previously defined by a user (User 1, 2, 3, 
    4). A “User” option applies a customized color performance in which the user has 
     
     
     
      
    						
    							 Section 3: Operation 
    020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07)  3-33. 
    precisely set the hue and intensity of each color component in the Color Adjustment 
    by X/Y or Color Saturation submenus. It is most often needed with multiple-projector 
    applications. Select the color adjustment producing the best color accuracy for your 
    application and installation. 
    To configure a “User” color adjustment (gamut), use either the Color Adjustment by 
    X/Y or Color Saturation submenu. 
    NOTES: 1) “Color Temperature” defaults to 6500K until changed. All four “User” 
    options default to SD Video unless the user has redefined them. 2) Factory-defined 
    color primaries, which ensure consistent color gamut from projector-to-projector, can 
    be calibrated in the Service menu only. If you suspect alteration, the factory settings 
    can be recovered with selection of “Reset to Factory Defaults?” in the Color Primary 
    Settings submenu within the Service menu (password-protected). 
    COLOR TEMPERATURE — Adjust to apply a specific and accurate color temperature to 
    all displays. Color temperatures are expressed in degrees Kelvin (3200-9300K), and 
    utilize different combinations of the projector’s original native color primaries to 
    produce a “coloration” or cast (reddish or bluish) in images—the lower the 
    temperature, the more reddish the cast; the higher the temperature, the more bluish the 
    cast. Note that the slide bar is enabled only if you have a source connected and have 
    selected “Color Temperature” in the adjacent “Select Color Adjustment” pull-down 
    list in the Advanced Image Settings menu. 
    OPTICAL APERTURE - The optical aperture inside the projector controls the diameter 
    of the light beam passing through the system. With a fully open aperture (slide bar 
    default of “0”), the maximum amount of light passes through for maximum brightness 
    in your images. Increase the slide bar setting to reduce the aperture diameter and 
    maximize contrast ratio instead. Performance of aperture depends on the lens in use. 
    NOTE: Optical Aperture also appears in the lamp menu.

    Simulation 3D — SUBMENU OF ADVANCED IMAGE SETTINGS 
    Use the options in the Simulation 3D 
    menu to make the timing adjustments 
    necessary for realistic simulation and 
    3D images. 
    NOTES: 1) Available in SXGA+ and 
    HD Mirage and Matrix projectors 
    only. 2) For complete 3D application 
    notes, refer to the separate Using 3D 
    in Mirage manual provided with the 
    Mirage projector. 
    FRAME DELAY MONITOR — This slide 
    bar monitors the latency between 
    input and output. For best results, the 
    bar width and value should remain 
    fairly constant, indicating that timing 
    of input and output frames is locked; 
    the Frame Delay Monitor value 
    should stay within 5-10 lines or so of 
    the Frame Delay setting. If a frame is 
    lost or “dropped”, the bar will move 
    suddenly and the values will change, indicating that the frame input is no longer equal 
    to the output. 
    NOTE: See separate Using 3D in Mirage manual provided for more information. 
    FRAME DELAY — Set the number of lines delayed between the input signal and its 
    appearance on screen, keeping in mind that projector processing always adds one 
    frame of delay to the frame delay setting. For applications such as simulation, where 
    the feeling of “real time” image response is a priority, a minimum setting is usually 
    preferable. For projectors capable of 3D (stereographic) applications where alternating 
    left-right frames must be synchronized with the corresponding L/R shutters in 3D 
    glasses, a total frame delay setting of two (or multiple of two) may be more useful. If 
    set too high or low, frame locking will not be possible—most sources require 
    approximately 50 lines of delay to ensure frame locking. 
    NOTE: See separate Using 3D in Mirage
     manual provided for more information.  
    DARK INTERVAL (Mirage models only) — Adjust Dark Interval to artificially increase 
    the amount of dark time between displayed frames for stereographic 3D images. 
    Higher settings provide more time for shutters in 3D glasses to open/close, ensuring 
    that each eye sees the full display intended for it. Symptoms of cross talk and/or color 
    artifacts can indicate need for adjustment. The Dark Interval range of adjustment 
    depends on the vertical frequency of your source—the higher the frequency, the 
    smaller the range. 
    NOTE: See separate Using 3D in Mirage
     manual provided for more information. 
    ACCUFRAME (Matrix models only) – Increasing the AccuFrame value will reduce the 
    artifacts related to fast motion in simulation content. Symptoms of blurry objects or 
    loss of apparent detail may indicate a need for this value to be adjusted.

    							 Section 3: Operation 
    020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07)  3-35. 
     
    NOTE: If increasing AccuFrame does not improve image quality, reduce the value to 
    0. Increasing AccuFrame may increase ‘flicker’ of the display. 
     
    3D STEREO SYNC LOCKING  (Mirage models only) — This option defines 1) whether 
    or not the incoming stereographic 3D signal locks to the vertical sync output so that 
    signals are synchronized, and 2) whether or not the 3D frames must be inverted, i.e. 
    swapped left-with-right. The correct setting ensures that the projector’s 3D display of 
    left/right frames is synchronized with the rest of the 3D system components so that the 
    intended eye sees the left/right image data. Select the option corresponding to your 3D 
    source connections and timing, and use only if the Mirage 3D Stereo Sync Cable is 
    connected between the projector’s GPIO port and a server. Keep this adjustment OFF 
    (default) when you are not using the Mirage 3D Stereo Sync Cable. 
      
    With your sync cable, Z-screen and, if desired, emitter connected as described in the 
    Using 3D in Mirage
     manual, select the option suited to your 3D configuration (see 
    above). If Frame Delay is two (or 0), do not invert; if frame delay is one or three, 
    invert. Generally, an “Unlocked” setting is synchronized with the incoming L/R signal 
    rather than the vertical sync output, and may be needed only with multi-projector 
    installations in which the vertical sync outputs vary. 
    NOTE: See separate Using 3D in Mirage
     manual provided for more information. 
    3D STEREO SYNC SELECT 
    (Mirage models only) — 
    Define which of the 
    Mirage 3D Stereo Sync 
    Cable’s input connecters 
    is routed from your server. 
    Use only if the cable is present.  
    3D STEREO SYNC DELAY (Mirage models only) — Set when the L/R frames begin, 
    defining the best reference point for synchronizing the display with your glasses. 
    Proper adjustment of this delay should eliminate cross talk and odd colors caused by 
    timing differences between the glasses and the projected display. Use this slide bar 
    only if the Mirage 3D Stereo Sync Cable is connected between the projector’s GPIO 
    port and a server. Slide bar values indicate the number of lines that are delayed. 
    FRAME LOCK ENABLE — This option allows the projector to control the output frame 
    timing based on the input signal. The locked option forces (if possible) the output 
    image to be phase locked to the input frames. Rate Matched means that the output 
    runs at close to the input frequency but isn’t locked to it so the output will drift in 
    phase relative to the output. Free Run forces the output to run at a 60Hz frame rate.  
    NOTE: 1) See separate Using 3D in Mirage
     manual provided for additional 
    information.

    Advanced Image Settings continued 
    — SUBMENU 
    MOTION FILTER — 
    This control is most useful for smoothing out moving images from 
    interlaced sources. In most cases the proper Motion Filter setting is 
    automatically determined according to the type of incoming source 
    signal. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may wish 
    to “force” a setting to ensure stable processing for this source—if 
    desired, override the default “Auto” setting by selecting the appropriate 
    motion filter:  
    1. 
    AUTO: The projector will automatically use the correct motion filter according to 
    the incoming signal. 
    2. 
    STILL: For static images with no motion, such as graphics from a CD. 
    3. 
    MOTION: For video images that did not originate from film, or for moving 
    computer-generated images. 
    4. 
    FILM: For video images that originated from film. This will optimize image quality 
    and stability. 
     
    FILM MODE THRESHOLD — This setting determines how sensitively the projector can 
    detect if an incoming video signal originated from film or not. It should not require 
    adjustment. 
    DETAIL THRESHOLD — Use “Detail Threshold” to define at what frequency level the 
    “Detail” control will begin to magnify high frequencies, which adds details back into 
    the image. Raise the threshold to ignore more of these high frequencies, and lower the 
    threshold to magnify more of these frequencies. A setting of “0”, for example, means 
    no noise will be ignored and all will be magnified. An ideal detail threshold is one in 
    which high frequencies that are causing objectionable noise are not magnified when 
    using “Detail”, but frequencies which can help sharpen an overly-soft image are 
    magnified.
     
    3D SOURCE 
    — When using a Mirage projector with HD resolution, a checkbox option 
    called 3D Source will be added to the bottom of the Advanced Image Settings menu. 
    This checkbox must be set by the user for all new 3D sources, and cleared for all new 
    non-3D sources (default setting is checked).  Once set, this value will be maintained 
    for that source for all future uses. This option is also available under the Simulation 
    3D menu in Mirage HD projectors only.

    Use the Configuration menu to define 
    general operating parameters and 
    communications with other projectors 
    and equipment, and to access other 
    advanced processing and image 
    adjustments affecting overall 
    performance. In addition, the 
    Configuration menu provides access 
    to diagnostics, calibration tools and 
    the Service submenu (password-
    protected). 
    Keep in mind that settings in the Configuration menu (and its submenus) are typically 
    “global” settings applied regardless of the type of source being used. This 
    characteristic is identified with the 
     (globe) icon alongside the option.

    Menu Preferences — SUBMENU 
    Adjust the appearance, content 
    and/or location of on-screen 
    menus and messages. 
    LARGE MENU FONT — Enter a 
    checkmark to enlarge menus and 
    their text. You may have to adjust 
    “Menu Location” to accommodate 
    the increased menu area. 
    MENU LOCATION — Use the pull-down list to choose a pre-defined default or 
    customized location for the display of all on-screen menus.  
    To create a custom menu location quickly, choose a preset that is closest to the desired 
    location. Then adjust “Horizontal Shift” and “Vertical Shift” slide bars to move the 
    menu to the desired location. Avoid locations too close to a corner or edge to prevent 
    cropping of larger menus. 
    HORIZONTAL SHIFT AND VERTICAL SHIFT — Shift your menus as desired, creating a 
    customized menu location. 
    DISPLAY CHANNEL LIST — Enter a checkmark if you want to see a scrollable channel 
    list whenever you press 
    Channel from your presentation. Channels marked with a list icon 
     in the Channel Setup menu will appear here. The “Display Channel List” option 
    also enables on-screen feedback when using the Channel key. If you prefer to hide the 
    channel list and input dialog box while switching channels and sources during a 
    presentation clear the checkbox. 
    NOTE: The Channel List and input dialog box cannot be hidden during use of the 
    menus. 
    DISPLAY SLIDE BARS — Enter a checkmark to superimpose a small slide bar over the 
    current image whenever an adjustable parameter is selected directly with a key such as 
    Contrast or
     Bright. If “Display Slide bars” is unchecked, these slide bars can still be 
    accessed, but will be hidden during adjustment. This option does not affect slide bars 
    in menus. 
    DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGES — Choose how you want to be notified of errors detected 
    in either the incoming signal or projector.
     Select “Screen” or “All” (default) to see 
    brief on-screen messages. This is particularly recommended during setup or testing of 
    the projector. Or select “Serial Ports” to receive messages via RS232 or RS422 serial 
    communication only. To hide error message displays, such as during shows and 
    presentations, select “Off” or “Serial Ports”. 
    SPLASH SCREEN SETUP —Use the Splash Screen to choose when you would like to 
    display a special introductory splash screen image, such as your company logo, 
    graphic or message. 
    • Always Off = A splash screen never appears 
    • Always On = A splash screen is always on behind the current display image, 
    similar to wallpaper. 
    • Start-up Only – The splash screen logo appears at projector start-up only. 
     
      
    						
    							 Section 3: Operation 
    020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07)  3-39. 
    • Start-up And No Signal – A splash screen appears at start-up only if there is no 
    source signal. 
     
    To replace the default “Christie logo” splash screen (or other) with one of your own, 
    use KoRE Librarian to download the desired .bmp to the projector. This will 
    overwrite the current splash screen content in projector memory. 
    Settings in the Communications 
    submenu define and control how 
    single or multiple projectors are 
    linked with each other and with 
    a controlling device. 
    Baud Rates 
    The baud rate setting determines 
    the speed of communication to 
    and from the projector on the 
    RS232 or RS422 links. The 
    maximum rate for the RS232 is 
    115200; for RS422 it is 19200. 
    Set the baud rate to match that 
    of your controlling device, such as your PC. If you are unsure about what baud rate to 
    choose, refer to the documentation for the controlling device. In an existing network 
    of projectors, if you discover that a projector has a different baud rate, use the pull-
    down list and select the correct baud rate using the 
     key—do not just scroll this 
    control with 
     or  keys. Serial communication is always eight data bits, no 
    parity. 
    Projector 
    Enter a three-digit number (such as “001”) to assign or change a number to the 
    projector currently in use. If the current projector already has a number assigned, that 
    number will appear here (for example, “004” in the menu shown above). Numerical 
    identity for projectors enables you to communicate with a single projector within a 
    multiple-projector application (see also 
    Proj key in 3.2, Using the Keypads). If you 
    make a mistake in assigning or changing the projector number, press 
    Ex it to cancel.  
    NOTE: When multiple projectors are being used and you want to adjust the color and 
    edge blending settings for individual projectors to create one seamless image, you 
    must assign different numbers for each projector to allow toggling back and forth 
    between projectors while adjustments are being made.  
    Network Routing 
    NOTE:  Not applicable for stand-alone projectors or simple serial networks with only 
    one type of controller and linking.

    SEPARATE: Select “Separate” (factory default) to keep RS232, RS422 and Ethernet 
    messages on their respective paths instead of being broadcast to the other types of 
    ports. In Figure 3.8A, RS422 controls only the projector to which it is connected. In

    DHCP: Enable this checkbox if you want a DHCP server to automatically change the 
    projector’s default IP address (0.0.0.0) to one that is valid and unique for use on the 
    current Ethernet network. On networks without a DHCP server, or to simply override 
    the automatic DHCP server function, delete the checkmark and enter the new “IP 
    Address” settings desired. Remember that only a 0.0.0.0 address will trigger the 
    DHCP addressing service, and only when the DHCP checkbox is enabled. 
      
    						
    							 Section 3: Operation 
    020-100001-01 Rev. 01 (04/07)  3-41. 
    IP ADDRESS: Enter a valid and unique IP address for use on the network to which the 
    projector is currently connected. This address will overwrite any previous IP address 
    such as the projector’s factory-defined default (0.0.0.0), or one that has been assigned 
    by a DHCP server or other user. It takes approximately 10 seconds for the projector to 
    respond at its new address. 
    PORT: On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port 
    number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new valid 
    port number here. It is highly recommended not to use a port # below 1000, as these 
    ports are typically reserved for and used by common IP applications. 
    SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY: The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are 
    automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, the IP must 
    be assigned first since the projector estimates the subnet mask after the IP is entered. 
    The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data 
    outside the subnet. 
    ArtNet Interface Settings 
    — SUBMENU  
    ArtNet is an Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic License. 
    It is used for controlling lighting/staging equipment from a lighting console or PC 
    application. It is based on the popular DMX512 control protocol. 
    ArtNet SUBNET: This is the highest level address for a device. Typically it is set to 0. 
    ArtNet UNIVERSE: Each packet of data is broadcasted to all devices plugged into a 
    universe (up to 512 devices/channels). 
    ArtNet CHANNEL: There are 512 channels per universe. This control allows you to 
    specify the starting channel for this projector.  
    ArtNet ADVANCED MODE: When this setting is enabled, each projector listens for data 
    on 64 channels starting with the base channel. When advanced mode is not in use, the 
    projector only listens on 10 channels. You can squeeze more devices per universe 
    when the projector uses fewer channels.  
    NOTE: The additional 54 functions are not currently implemented and are reserved 
    for future use. 
    ArtNet BASE CHANNEL: When advanced mode is enabled, the projector listens to data 
    on 64 consecutive channels, or 10 consecutive channels when advanced mode is not 
    enabled. The projector processes requests that come on either 10 or 64 consecutive 
    channels beginning with the ‘base channel’ defined here. The requests implement the 
    following functions:
