Input Levels — SUBMENU 
NOTES: 1) Because the projector automatically optimizes input levels for all but the 
most unusual of sources, it is recommended that only experienced users use the Input 
Levels submenu. 2) Before beginning, check that overall contrast and brightness 
settings are near 50 and that color temperature is properly set up on an internal 
grayscale test pattern. 3) There must be at least 2 consecutive white pixels present in...

BLACKLEVELS AND DRIVES - To check your image and adjust these controls: 
1.  Make sure overall “Contrast” and “Brightness” settings are both set to near 
50. NOTE: Not required for “Auto” adjustment. 
• 
Contra st= 50 (approx.) 
• 
Bright= 50 (approx.) 
2.  Check the color temperature setup using an internal grayscale test pattern, 
making sure to obtain a neutral grayscale. NOTE: Not required for “Auto” 
adjustment. 
3.  Confirm that you...

PEAK DETECTOR – The Peak Detector is a fast method for defining individual input 
levels, and can improve the accuracy of input levels set by the Auto Input level 
function. Enabling the Peak Detector activates a special operating mode for detecting 
only pixels that are considered black or white—all other levels are displayed as a mid-
level gray. When used with a smooth grayscale pattern in which black and white are 
known to be at opposite...

SELECT COLOR ADJUSTMENT: In “Select Color 
Adjustment”, choose an overall color performance for all 
images. The “Max Drives” factory default simply drives 
all 3 colors at their maximum level so that they are fully 
on and cannot be changed. The two...

OPTICAL APERTURE — Use this control to adjust true contrast of an image. This is an 
optical adjustment where the two apertures in the projector are simultaneously 
adjusted; one aperture is located in the illumination system and the other in the 
projection lens. Adjust 
 to close the apertures, which minimizes contrast and 
maximizes brightness. Alternatively, adjust 
 to maximize true contrast and 
minimize brightness. By default, the...

DETAIL THRESHOLD — Use “Detail Threshold” to define at what frequency level the 
“Detail” control will begin to magnify high frequencies, which adds details back into 
the image. Raise the threshold to ignore more of these high frequencies, and lower the 
threshold to magnify more of these frequencies. A setting of “0”, for example, means 
no noise will be ignored and all will be magnified. An ideal detail threshold is one in 
which high...

single or multiple projectors are 
can link with each other and with a 
controlling device. 
Baud Rates 
The baud rate setting determines 
the speed of communication to and 
from the projector on the RS232 or 
RS422 links. The maximum rate 
for either standard is 115200. Set 
the baud rate to match that of your 
controlling device, such as your PC. If you are unsure about what...

RS232 AND RS422 JOINED: Messages originating from an RS232 or RS422 controller 
will be relayed to all RS232 ports. Any Ethernet communication, however, will not. 
RS232 AND ETHERNET JOINED: Messages to and from the RS232 ports will also be 
relayed to the Ethernet port, and vice versa. Any RS422 communications will be 
isolated. 
ALL JOINED: All messages reach all ports, regardless of type....
