Operation 25 Selecting an application mode The projector is preset with several predefined application modes so that you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input source picture type. To select a operation mode that suits your need, press Mode. The picture modes available for different types of signals are shown below. See Application Mode on page 29 for details. Switching input signal The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only display one at a time. To cycle through the available input sources, press the Source button on the projector control panel or the remote control. The selected source name will display at the center of the screen for 3 seconds after each button press. The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly when you switch between different input signals. Data (graphic) PC presentations using mostly static images are generally brighter than Video using mostly moving images (movies). The input type affects the options available for the Application Mode. See Selecting an application mode on page 25 for details. Hiding the image In order to draw the audience’s full attention to the presenter, you can use Blank to hide the screen image. Press any key on the control panel to restore the image. The word “BLANK” appears at the bottom right corner of the screen while the image is hidden. When this function is activated with video/ S-video signal connected, the audio can still be heard. You can set the blank time in the Advance - -> Blank Time menu to let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action taken on the blank screen. Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.

Operation 30 Color Temp (depends on the selected Application mode) There are four color temperature* settings are available. 1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish white than other settings. 2.T2: Makes images appear bluish white. 3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white. 4.T4: Makes images appear reddish white. *About color temperatures: There are many different shades that are considered to be “white” for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it. Brightness (depends on the selected input source) Adjusts the brightness of the image. The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible. Contrast (depends on the selected input source) Adjusts the degree of difference between dark and light in the image. The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment. Color (depends on the selected input source)Increases or decreases the color intensity of the image. Tint (50) Adjusts the color tones of the image. The higher the value, the more greenish the image becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the image becomes. When a Video or S-Video signal is connected, the function is only available with NTSC system selected. 50-30+70 -30 50+70 Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals
Operation 31 2. Pro-Picture menu Some picture adjustments are available only when certain input sources are in use. Unavailable adjustments are not shown on the screen. FUNCTION (default setting / value) DESCRIPTION Auto Resize (on) Automatically resizes the input signal pixel resolution to the native resolution of the projector. On: The pixel resolution of the input signal is converted to the native resolution of the projector (800 x 600). For input signals with lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels are automatically interpolated into the image before being projected. This may distort the image clarity. Off: The image is projected as its original resolution, with no pixel conversion. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments. Aspect Ratio (4:3) There are two aspect ratio settings. 1. 4:3 (for a standard screen) 2. 16:9 (for a wide screen) 16:9 aspect ratio is only sourced through the Component Video input when being fed an appropriate 16:9 aspect signal. See Connecting a Component Video source device on page 18 and Obtaining a preferred projected image size on page 12 for details. H Position (0) Adjusts the horizontal position of the projected image. V Position (0) Adjusts the vertical position of the projected image. Phase (depends on the selected input source)This function allows you to adjust the clock phase to reduce image distortion.
