Adjust DMD convergence
A convergence problem occurs when one or more  projected colors (red, green, blue) appears 
misaligned when examined with a convergence te st pattern. Normally, the three colors should 
overlap precisely to form pure white lines throug hout the image and one or more poorly converged 
individual colors may appear adjacent to some or all of the lines. 
Contact your Christie accredited service technician to correct DMD convergence issues.
Color correction
The D4K2560 provides predefined and custom co lor adjustments using the Color Correction menu. 
The available color adjustment controls are listed in the table below:

Color Temperature Allows the specification of a color temperature as expressed in degrees Kelvin. Standard  settings are:
• 9300K—Close to the white of many computer monitors.
• 6500K—Standard for color video in  both standard and HD formats.
• 5400K—Standard for graphics and black and white video.
• 3200K—Useful if the projected image is to be  filtered, or shot as part of a studio set 
illuminated with incandescent lighting.
HD Video Sets the output color va lue to the HD video standard.

Menus
This section provides information and procedur es for using projector menus. Use the projector 
menus to adjust projector settings and view status information.
Touch panel controller
The touch panel controller (TPC) is a touch-sensitiv e screen. Use the TPC to control the projector, 
manage sources, adjust the display, and view status information. The TPC is mounted on the rear of 
the projector and can be adjusted to improve the TPC viewing angle. A side USB port can be used to 
download log files and install software upgrades.
For remote applications, the TPC can be dismounted  from the projector and used with the optional 
cable to allow projector control from a maximum distance of 100 ft (30 m).
