Keystone
Keystone distortion
Normal
Keystone is the distortion of a projected image that usually creates a
wider top than bottom. Aiming a projector upward on a wall rather than
straight at a wall creates this distor tion. Use the 

 or  buttons on the
slide bar to correct this keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.
NOTE: The keystone feature is not available when the test pattern or the blueback is displayed.
NOTE: With the projector aimed directly at the screen the maximum keystoneangle that can be corrected is +/- 15 degrees.
CAUTION: To prevent the projectors from falling, install them in a place andfasten them in a way with sufficient strength to support the two projectors.
NOTE: SW 1 Level and SW 2 Level of Switcher Control are not available on LinkMode. For double or triple stacking, follow the instructions described below.
1) Stacking the Projectors
1-1. Place the projectors at the proper height for best screen to projec-
tor relationship. Make sure that all projectors have the same display
orientation.2) Hookup
2-1. Use the supplied DVI-D cable to connect the RGB DIGITAL output
of the master projector to the RGB DIGITAL input (INPUT9 )of the
slave projector (the second and third stack) until all the projectors
are connected.
2-2. Next, using a commercially available, bi-directional RS-232C cable
connect the OPTION OUT terminal of the master projector to the
OPTION IN terminal of the slave projector(s) until all the projectors
are connected.
2-3. Turn all the projectors on and roughly make some optical adjust-
ments to each projector.
3) Adjusting and registering signals to be projected in Link mode
and stack application.
Signal Data Preparation
3-1. Create data for the master projector and copy data to the slave
projector.
3-1-1. Choose one projector as the master.
3-1-2. Turn the master projector on.
3-1-3. Display all desired input signals, make adjustment to each
signal, then save all adjustments on the master projector. (Ad-
justments will be saved automatically.)
3-1-4. Turn the master projector off (standby mode).
3-1-5. Store all the adjustments on a PC card from the master pro-
jector.
3-1-5-1. Open the PC Card slot cover to access the PC card slot.
Insert a PC card into this slot.
NOTE: DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER while the PC Card Access indicatoris flashing. Doing so will cause damage to the data of the projector system.
