Section 3: Operation
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white 
pixels, or a similar half on, half off graphic image, such as the Windows shutdown screen. Adjust the slidebar 
until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that you can stabilize the image at 
more than one point-i.e., you may find that the image appearance at 11 is identical to...

Blanking (Top, Bottom, Left, and Right) Options
Select a Blanking option from the Advanced Size and 
Position
 menu. Crop the image as desired so that unwanted 
edges are removed from the display (changed to black as shown 
in Figure 3-16
). Blanking defines the size of the Active Input 
window, creating an area of interest. Range of adjustment 
depends on the source resolution and other factors for your 
application....

Contrast Option
Short Cut: Press CONT on the standard IR remote and adjust the Contract slidebar in the menu.
Select 
Contrast from the Image Settings menu. Contrast increases or decreases the perceived difference 
between light and dark areas of your image (0-100). For best results, keep close to 50. If the contrast is set too 
high, the light parts of the image lose detail and clarity. If the contrast set too low, the...

Detail Option
Select Detail  from the Image Settings menu. Detail adjusts the sharpness of a video image so that edges 
remain clearly defined. It can be particularly useful if a significant Noise Reduction adjustment has caused 
the image to appear too soft. Adjust until the display is as sharp as desired, keeping in mind that because 
Detail adds some high frequencies back into the image, it can also re-introduce a...

Video Standard  Option
Select Video Staandard from the Video Options menu. With the exception of the more unusual video 
standards available in the world, the projector automatically detects the incoming horizontal and vertical 
frequencies and sets the projectors processing of this signal to the corresponding standard. The current video 
standard name appears in the 
Video Options secondary menu, and includes an A if it...

Decoder Luma Delay  Option
Select Decoder Luma Delay from the Video Options menu. This control affects any incoming composite or 
S-video signal, delaying the luma signal (intensity) in relation to the chroma (color). In the image, increasing 
the luma delay moves luma (seen as a shadow where colors overlap) to the right slightly, with colors remaining 
in place. Decreasing this delay moves the shadow slightly to the left....

NOTE: Not required for Auto adjustment.
3. Confirm that you are using an analog source not connected to INPUT 3 or INPUT 4, as input levels are 
not applicable for digital sources or sources going through the decoder. A grayscale is recommended.
4. If the blacks and/or whites appear OK, input levels do not need adjustment. If black levels are too high 
(and/or whites are too low, which is rare), you likely have a noisy...

3. For the current color, adjust its corresponding Blacklevel slidebar just until a single band of black 
appears at one edge of the screen. This band represents the first band of the grayscale pattern, which 
should be 100% black. Do not adjust too far.
4. With the same color still active, adjust its corresponding Input Drive slidebar just until a single band of 
color appears at the opposite edge of the screen. This band...

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 appear in the Gamma Table
 drop-down list.
Keep in...
