    The Vision 10/12 gives you a great deal of control over the picture size, position and focus. 
    Figure 4-2 shows the location of the focus and zoom controls; Figure 4-3 shows the location 
    of the lens shift controls. 
    Focus/ZoomTo focus the projected image, rotate the focus ring left or right.

    Picture AdjustUse the controls in the Picture Adjust menu to calibrate your Vision 10/12 for optimum 
    picture quality.
    The Vision 10/12 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards 
    established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, 
    industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a 
    training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal 
    picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that 
    setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician.
    All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input 
    separately. Vidikron recommends calibrating the Vision 10/12 inputs in the following order:
    1. Component 1 / Component 2
    2. S-Video
    3. Video
    4. RGB-HD
    5. DVI
    Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and 
    regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for 
    best results: 
     External test pattern source -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation 
    Multimedia test DVD or equivalent.
     A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
    Cinema FillC-FILLA 2.35 image is stretched

    Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. 
    Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
    Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an 
    acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) 
    Figure 4-5 shows a typical PLUGE 
    pattern.
    Figure 4-5. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness
    PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray 
    areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four 
    shaded boxes.
    Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (   ) 
    buttons, adjust the brightness so that:
     The darkest black bars disappear into the background. 
     The dark gray areas are barely visible.
     The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
     The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
     The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).

    Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the 
    one shown in 
    Figure 4-6. 
    Figure 4-6. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast
    Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow (   ) 
    buttons, adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase 
    in size.
    Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one 
    shown in 
    Figure 4-7. 
    Figure 4-7. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint

    Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu. While looking at the color bar pattern through a 
    blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars 
    appear to be a single shade of blue: 
    Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. 
    When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears 
    greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Picture Adjust menu. While looking at the color 
    bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta color bars 
    (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue. 
    1. Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls 
    are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the 
    other in order to achieve the optimum setting. 
    2. Color and tint controls are not available on the DVI or RGB-HD inputs.

    Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust 
    sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. On your 
    external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in 
    Figure 4-8. Adjust as 
    needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and different sized 
    lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate 
    them. 
    Figure 4-8. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness
    Gamma: The Gamma control determines how gray shades are displayed between minimum 
    input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting helps to 
    optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the “in-between” values 
    utilized in other grays.
    Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the overall 
    tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant while 
    still showing good detail in dark areas.
    The default Gamma setting is appropriate for most typical home cinema environments.
