• no area of the screen appears brighter than another 
• color and light output from one screen closely matches adjacent screens 
Although the Brightness Uniformity control can be used for a stand-alone projector, it 
is particularly useful for setting up and maintaining tiled images that form a cohesive 
display wall in which the color “cast” and light output appear uniform throughout 
each image as well as throughout the entire wall. The procedure...

1c) Select the 13 Point test pattern for display. 
This pattern provides 9 screen “zones” with 
13 targets.  
FOR BEST RESULTS: Rather than examining 
the CENTER of each zone when assessing 
Brightness Uniformity adjustments, focus on 
extreme EDGES as indicated in the 
illustration at right.

Step 2: Adjust Color (level of red/green/blue) in 8 Zones 
NOTES: 1) At this point, ignore the brightness of individual zones. 2) Always ignore 
menu colors. 
2a) On each screen, compare the color temperatures in the 8 target zones (4 edges 
and 4 corners) to that of the color temperature of the center. Compare using a 
white field only, and take note of any areas that do not match the center. Also 
decide if any screen exhibits a more obvious color...

4. SET BLEND WIDTH: On one projector, increase the Blend Width for an overlapping 
edge (for example, if the projector’s image is on left, its right edge overlaps the 
adjacent image—adjust Right Blend Width). Use the same setting on the second 
projector for this shared edge. 
5.  Re-adjust width (both projectors) until the overly bright band at the midpoint of the 
overlapping blends disappears or...

eliminate the message.
