• Display the Color Adjustments by X,Y menus for all projectors. Each menu shows the x/y coordinates 
defining the “Max Drives” color gamut for this projector. 
NOTE: The values shown in one (any) of the 
displays. Use the “Copy From” function to copy them into a “User” gamut in one projector. 
4. In each projector, select a “User” color adjustment (1-4) to enable Color Adjustments by X,Y changes. Then 
enter your...

• To match reds, decrease “Red X” until full 
field red screens match.
• To match greens, decrease “Green Y” until full 
field green screens match.
• To match blues, increase both “Blue X” and 
“Blue Y” until full field blue screens match.
NOTE: For speed, enable the “Auto Color 
Enable” check box. Each color coordinate you 
select will then automatically trigger a full 
field display of the corresponding color....

3.13 Remote Control of the Projector
As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a 
controller such as a PC, via a web interface.
VIA ASCII MESSAGING — Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS-232 or RS-422 port 
(recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between your controller and the valid projector 
address. Valid ASCII codes and...

3.15 3D 
The Mirage M Series projector is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D video sources. The Mirage M Series 
relies on additional hardware; such as stereo emitters and glasses to complete the display system. 
Images generated from a stereo 3D-video source consist of a series of images (frames) that alternate quickly 
between two slightly different view points, corresponding to our left and right eyes. When these...

CONNECTING THE 3D STEREO SYNC CABLE
This GPIO cable provides the means for synchronizing the various components in your 3D system. Your 
source, projector display output, and emitters or 3D passive filter system can then operate together with 
precision to minimize cross-talk and color artifacts. Connect as shown below in Figure 43 - Mirage M Series 
3D Stereo Sync Cable - 3D Stereo Sync Cable.
NOTE: For Mirage M Series...

IR Emitter/3D Passive Filter System: In response to an incoming sync signal, the emitter emits L/R infrared 
signals to a receiver in active 3D shutter glasses, causing the L/R shutters to alternately open and close for 
active stereo 3D applications. Likewise, a 3D passive filter system placed in front of the lens responds to an 
incoming sync signal and alternately polarizes the L/R frames viewed with passive glasses...

3D Mode: Select the mode of your 3D operation.
Off: 3D operation is disabled.
Native: All content is shown at a native frame rate of 96 - 120 Hz input and output.
Frame Doubled 3D: 3D Content from a single 48-60Hz signal (24/30Hz per eye) are displayed twice to 
provide a 3D content to be viewed at 96-120Hz.
Dual Input 3D: Content from two independent 48-60Hz ‘passive’ frame locked sources are interleaved 
into a native...

Frame Locking: Enable or disable Frame Lock. When set to Frame Lock, if 
possible output image frames are locked to the input. When Locked, the output is 
always locked to the primary input and never the secondary image, when using 
Dual input 3D. Free Run sets the output to close to 60Hz for all sources. This 
control must be set to locked if a 3D-Stereo signal is used.
Set Frame Delay: Delays the output signal timing...

9. If your emitter has a reverse setting ensure it is set to the Off position.
10. Set all projectors to 3D Sync Input A (or B) depending on your selection in Step 6 & 7.
11. Apply the 3D test pattern to all projectors.
12. Put on your 3D glasses.
13. When 3D is setup correctly, a small set of L’s are visble by closing your right eye and a small set of Rs are 
visible when closing your left eye.
