Brightness Uniformity — SUBMENU 
Brightness Uniformity provides further refinement of displays already matched for 
their primary colors and overall light output. Use Brightness Uniformity to create an 
exceptionally smooth image in which no area appears brighter and/or more red, green 
or blue than another. In the Brightness Uniformity menu, enable the “Uniformity 
Enable” checkbox to access a multitude of...

DEFINING “USER” COLOR GAMUTS: In some cases, you may find that none of the pre-
defined “Select Color Adjustment” options exactly suit your needs. For example, you 
may require a unique color gamut (range) for a single projector or application, or you 
may need to precisely match colors across multiple adjacent displays. In such cases, 
use either the Color Adjustments by X,Y or Color Saturation submenu to define the 
precise hue of each...

NOTE: Keep new x,y coordinates within the original color gamut triangle shown 
here. 
PROCEDURE FOR X,Y ADJUSTMENTS:  See 3.10, Using Multiple Projectors. 
COLOR SATURATION: Use this 
submenu if you do not have 
specific color coordinates in mind 
and will simply judge color 
performance by eye. 
Adjust the hue of each primary 
color (red, green, blue, and white) 
by using more or less of it in...

Figure 3.21. Using “Odd Pixel Adjustment” 
NOTES: 1) Adjust offset before gain, since offset affects gain. 2) A value of 128 
represents no change in normal odd pixel offset or gain. 3) Odd Pixel Adjustment 
eliminates “1 pixel on, 1 pixel off” patterns only, not any type of larger patterns.

Peak Detector 
The “Peak Detector” is fast method of 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 16-step grayscale pattern in which the two black and white bands 
are known...

mode will not automatically switch to the single lamp mode. It is strongly 
recommended if after 5 minutes the second lamp does not ignite, you manually 
switch to a single lamp operation mode and replace the lamp that won’t strike.  
• In single lamp mode, the projector will try to strike the lamp again in 90 
seconds (considered re-strike #1).  Only after the third attempt (re-strike #2) 
will the projector declare the lamp as “Failed to...

LAMP MESSAGE  - Enter a checkmark to enable a warning message that will appear 
upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and should be 
replaced. Delete the checkmark to prevent display of this message—instead, when 
your lamp expires, only the status display messages on the back of the projector will 
provide the visual warning to replace the lamp. 
NOTES: 1) It is recommended that the...

Lamp 2” to specify which lamp to operate the projector with. The other lamp 
remains in “reserve” and will only turn on if the current lamp “fails” for some 
reason or if the mode is manually selected.   
NOTES: 1) The projector will automatically shutdown if it detects both lamps 
have “failed” (this includes lamps not installed). 2) The lamp operation mode 
will not...
