Pixel tracking adjusts the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the
number of pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are
sampled. Proper pixel tracking ensures consistent image quality–whether good or
poor–across the screen, proper aspect ratio and enables optimization of pixel phase
(below).
NOTE: By default, the projector will sample at the correct...

“Contrast” increases or decreases the perceived difference between light and dark
areas of your image (0-100). If contrast is set too high, the light parts of the image
lose detail and clarity. If set too low, the light areas will not be as bright as they could
be and the image will be dim. Start low and increase so that whites remain bright but
are not distorted or tinted, and that light areas do not...

“Color Temp” applies either a preset color temperature (3200K, 5400K, 6500K,
9300K) or any previously defined Interpolated or custom “User” color temperature.
All temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin and represent
the coloration (reddish or bluish) of the whites displayed by
the projector—the lower the temperature, the more reddish the
whites, the higher the temperature, the more bluish the whites.
NOTE: The custom temperatures “User” or...

NOTE: Gamma does not normally require adjustment and is intended for
experienced users only.
The Gamma option affects the shape of the curve determining what gray shades are
available for a given amount of signal input between minimum (black) and maximum
(white). Different curves can improve performance for certain kinds of source input
and applications. Generally the best gamma curve is one that produces maximum
contrast, brightness and color performance...

The baud rate setting determines the speed of communications to and from the
projector. By default, the projector baud rate is set to 19200. Setting the correct speed
is important when you are controlling the projector with an external
device such as a computer or another projector via an RS-232 or RS-
422 port. You must set the projector baud rate at these ports to match
the baud rate of the controlling device. If you are unsure about what
baud rate...

projector from responding to the keypad entirely. In the pull-down list, select the
desired protocol.
NOTE: The wired keypad for this projector is set at manufacture to Protocol A. See

Enter a three-digit number (such as 001) to assign or change a number to the
projector currently in use–if the current projector already has a number assigned, that
number will appear here. Numerical
identity for projectors is required whenever
you want to communicate with a single
projector within a multiple-projector
application (see 
 key description in
3.3, Using the Keypad). If you make a
mistake in assigning or changing the
projector number,...

Use Preferences checkboxes and pull-down lists to alter how the projector responds
to commands and displays its parameters. Refer to the Using Slidebars and Other
