TheRandommode will select a new switching mode at each source switching i.e. there will never be 2 suc-
cessive source switchings with the same effect.
The Seamless switching mode is not used in theRandommode.

• striked out arrow : fade effect impossible
The switching effects are only possible in the full screen mode
10.3 Output Frame rate
What can be done ?
To avoid transition effects when switching from a source with a frame rate of 50 Hz to a source with frame rate of 60 Hz or vice versa,
set the output frame rate to one typical frequency. The default valuefor this setting is synchronous, that means that the output frame
rate follows the input source. When the source is 50 Hz, the output will be 50 Hz, when the source is 60 Hz, the output will be 60
Hz, but transition effects can occur. When set to e.g. 50 Hz, all sources will be displayed with an output frame rate of 50 Hz. 60 Hz
sources will miss some frames.
How to change ?
1. PressMENUto activatethe Tool bar.
2. Press→to select theSignalitem. (image 10-3)
3. Press↓to pull down theSignalmenu.

11.3 Mode
Single lamp mode
The projector will always switch to the lamp with the shortest runtime when the difference between the runtimes of lamp 1 and lamp
2 reaches100 hours, switching from one lamp to another happens only at switching on of the projector and not during operation.
When the lamp fails or reaches its maximum runtime the projector switches automatically to the other lamp without interrupting the
projection. The failure is logged and the lamp will never be initialized in the future.

When switching from the dual mode to the single mode the lamp with the longest runtime is switched off.
If the runtimes are equal (if the projector has always been operated in dual mode) then lamp 1 is switched out.
When switching to single mode, returning to the dual mode will not be possible in the first 60 seconds,Dual
