    8. Repeat Steps 3-7 for all remaining colors. Your RGB source should now be OK. 
    Two sets of values are automatically saved with these controls—one value for Input 
    #1, and one for Input #2 (analog). The current set of values depends on which source 
    is in use. This enables a source to be processed correctly via two different inputs.

    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 “one pixel on, one pixel off” artifact only, not any type of larger artifacts. 
    Reserved - No function. 
     
    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 16-step grayscale pattern in which the two black and white bands 
    are known to be at opposite edges of the image, you can watch these isolated areas 
    while adjusting individual black levels and input drives until both bands are just 
    visible. Images from this source will then display correct blacks and whites without 
    crushing or washing out. 
    NOTE: If using Peak Detector with PIP, both images must have the same color 
    space. 
    Level Detector 
    The “Level Detector” checkbox enables specific thresholds for blacks and whites—
    input levels that fall below a specified Level Value (see below) are displayed as black, 
    and all others are displayed as white. It aids in Odd Pixel Adjustment. To use: 
    1. Enable “Level Detector” and display a continuous grayscale. 
    2. Set “Level Value” to near black (such as 200). 
    3. Adjust Offsets to minimize area of black stripe. 
    4. Set “Level Value” to near white (such as 800). 
    5. Adjust Gains to minimize area of white stripe.

    Level Value 
    Level Value defines the value to be used by the Level Detector in recognizing blacks 
    and whites. See Level Detector, above. 
    Aspect Ratio Overlay 
    Selecting this option with a checkmark will overlay a number of common aspect ratio 
    boxes on top of the source image. This is very helpful during the setup of the projector 
    and can be turned off after desired specifications have been achieved.  
    LiteLOC™ Calibration 
    NOTES: 1) LiteLOC™ Calibration takes up to two minutes. 2) For best results, 
    allow the projector to warm up for 15 minutes prior to calibration. 
    LiteLOC™ Calibration defines the range of power needed to maintain lamp 
    brightness. Select Calibrate LiteLOC for calibration using your projector’s unique 
    specifications (recommended) rather than standard specifications. The projector will 
    revert to the default back-up in the event of a power failure.

    Intelligent Lens System (ILS
    ) Calibration 
    This option allows you to choose between three types of lens calibrations. Reference 
    calibration determines a reference point that is used as a defined starting position for 
    relative motion of the lens. All positioning is measured from this reference point. A 
    reference calibration is lost when power is removed from the projector and will occur 
    on every power up as long as ILS is enabled. A motion calibration determines the 
    characteristics of each motor and values are saved in the projector’s memory. If ILS 
    is enabled and a motion calibration has previously been done, the projector will 
    automatically recall these settings from memory when it’s being powered up and a 
    motion calibration will not take place. A full calibration performs both a reference 
    and motion calibration. 
     
    Automatic ILS Lens Calibration 
    When this option is selected (default) and the projector is in ILS mode, the projector 
    will perform a lens calibration on each power-up. During calibration, the shutter will 
    be closed and the status LED will display ‘LC’. If ILS is not selected, the ALC setting 
    will be ignored. If, during power-up, ALC is not selected and ILS is, the last stored 
    location from the previous ILS calibration will be assumed to be true and the lens will 
    moved to that position upon power-up if necessary.

    The two “Option Card” 
    entries In the 
    Configuration menu 
    identify which optional 
    input modules (a.k.a. 
    cards) are present at 
    INPUT 5 (Option 1) and 
    INPUT 6 (Option 2). If 
    either of these option 
    slots is empty, the 
    corresponding read-only menu entry does nothing. If there is a module installed, the 
    corresponding menu entry may activate a submenu of further options pertaining to 
    that module. 
    For example, if the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is installed at 
    INPUT 5 (Option 1). The 
    Option 1 Card submenu provides controls for configuring the various connections on 
    this multi-input, multi-output module. As desired for your application, you can define 
    1) which physical input loops through to which output, and 2) which functional input 
    (main or PIP signal) loops through to which output. 
    Select Automatic mode or a series of 
    manual modes. In Automatic mode 
    the input video payload information 
    is read and compared to that of the 
    SMPTE 352 standard to detect the 
    dual link format and the primary 
    channel. Single video input will also 
    work in this mode without any 
    payload information. Dual link input 
    video which does not contain payload 
    information must be set up manually. 
    Select the format and which of the 
    two channels is the primary input. 
     
    PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and Seamless Switching are independent but related projector 
    features that both utilize two image-processing paths within the projector. In the case 
    of Picture-in-Picture, this double processing enables you to display two different 
    images simultaneously – typically a smaller “secondary” image within a large 
    “primary” background.  In a seamless switch, the double processing essentially occurs 
    between displays so that a full image relayed from one source can smoothly transform 
    into a full image from another source. This change can be virtually instantaneous, or 
    slowed as desired so that the current image appears to dissolve or “fade” into the new 
    image. NOTE: PIP and Seamless Switching are not available on WU models. 
    Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Seamless Switching all reside in the 
    same menu. Note, however, that because both features utilize the projector’s double 
    processing capability, PIP and Seamless Switching cannot be used together. For 
    example, fading a pair of PIP images into a new display from a different source is not 
    possible. 
    For best PIP or Seamless Switching results, use two different signal types* as defined 
    below. Do not mix two signals of the same type.

    * HD interlaced sources are not recommended for the PIP window. 
    Other PIP or Seamless Switching tips to keep in mind include: 
     When using two digital signals or one analog and one digital, each must be ≤ 165 
    megapixels.  
     When using two analog signals, each must be ≤ 90 megapixels. 
     Avoid using an interlaced source in the PIP window 
     Seamless switching may affect image quality in some cases 
     
    NOTE: To control the primary image, access all picture controls through the Main 
    menu. To control the secondary (PIP) image, access picture controls through the 
    Picture-in-Picture and Switching menu.

    PIP Size and Position – SUBMENU 
    Most controls in the PIP Size and 
    Position menu adjust the PIP 
    (secondary) image in the same 
    fashion as their counterparts in the 
    main Size and Position menu 
    adjust the main image—see 3.6, 
    Adjusting the Image for details. 
    Exceptions are: 
    POSITION PRESETS –Set the 
    location of the PIP (secondary) image in the display. 
    ASPECT RATIO PRESETS – Choose the desired aspect ratio for your PIP pixels. Use 
    the “Default” aspect ratio when incoming format has square pixels (most common). 
    This ensures that the resulting PIP image maintains its intended aspect ratio. Use 
    “Anamorphic” for NTSC signals having narrower pixels--this will stretch the pixels 
    horizontally to regain the intended aspect ratio of the PIP image.  
    NOTE: If the image is already resized at the source it will remain that way in the PIP 
    window. If, for example, an NTSC signal is already set to anamorphic through the 
    Resize and Preset menu it will remain that way in the PIP window. If the NTSC signal 
    is formatted as widescreen at the source, then the image in the PIP window will 
    appear with black bars above and below it. 
    PIP Image Settings — 
    SUBMENU 
    Adjust the PIP (secondary image) without affecting the size or position. The primary 
    image remains unchanged. See 3.6, Adjusting the Image for details 
    PIP Border Width 
    Set the desired line thickness for your PIP window border.  
    PIP Border Color 
    Select the desired color for the PIP window border. 
     
    NOTES: 1) Numbers 7 and 8 on the Picture-in-Picture and Switching submenu 
    control switching parameters. 2) Disable PIP in order to work with Seamless 
    Switching. 3) Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources > 35kHz. 
     
    Seamless Switching is the ability to instantly and/or smoothly switch sources, and is 
    controlled with options 7 and 8 in the PIP and Switching menu. To use Seamless 
    Switching, PIP must be disabled. NOTE: On WU models, both Seamless Switching 
    and PIP are not available and image optimization defaults to Best Image Quality. 
    Tips for best source switching:
     
     Ensure a channel has been configured for each source. 
     Progressive digital and analog sources are recommended. 
     Set Image Optimization to Seamless Switching (see below). 
     For best results, use the same frame rate and gamma setting for each. 
    NOTE: Avoid using two interlaced sources.

    Image Optimization 
    Use this setting to choose what is more important, image quality or switching between 
    sources. Selecting Best Image Quality will ensure your image is always proper 
    however when switching sources, the screen will go blank increasing your switching 
    time. Smooth Switching allows for a cleaner transition between sources. The image 
    will fade from one image to another according to the Fade Time control. Seamless 
    Switching overrides the Frame Lock Enable settings and forces the output to run at 
    60Hz regardless of the input signal. Image is 100% seamless when switching sources.  
    NOTE: Disable PIP and Best Switching for Interlaced sources > 35kHz. 
    Fade Time 
    Set how long (in seconds) it takes to gradually dissolve one image into another for a 
    source switch when Image Optimization is set to Smooth Switching.  
    NOTE: PIP must be disabled for Fade Time to take effect. Also, the PIP window must 
    be closed to activate it. 
    Numbers Select Main Image 
    Use Numbers Select Main Image to use the numeric 
    keys #1-8 as input keys. This remapping of the keypad 
    (see right) can be particularly useful with PIP displays, 
    providing a convenient shortcut for changing the 
    primary (background) image without first having to 
    return to the Main menu. Select “Always” to use the 
    keys in this manner all of the time, even with single 
    displays. For normal keypad function, select Never 
    (default). Set to When PIP Active to activate number 
    keys only when PIP is in use. 
    NOTE: Numbers Select Main Image keypad 
    functionality works only when menus are closed. 
     
     
    Whenever you install a new lamp in the 
    projector, access the Lamp menu to record 
    the lamp serial number in the projector’s 
    memory. You can also choose a lamp mode 
    for regulating power and light output, 
    change optical aperture size, and access 
    other read-only information pertaining to 
    past and present lamps. 
    LAMP HOURS (read-only) shows the number 
    of hours logged on the current lamp. 
    Whenever you record a new lamp serial 
    number this value automatically resets to “0”, where it begins to log time for the new 
    lamp. This information also appears in the Status menu.

    LAMP S/N (read-only) is the serial number recorded for the current lamp. When you 
    install a new lamp and enter its serial number, the number will appear here.  
    Enter a checkmark for 
    LAMP MESSAGE 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 Message checkbox remain enabled. 2) 
    When a lamp warning message appears, press 
    Ex i t to temporarily cancel the 
    message. The message will continue to appear upon power-up until you install a new 
    lamp. 
    Set 
    LAMP LIMIT to the number of hours you expect to log on the current lamp before 
    replacing it. This will trigger a lamp message on-screen (if enabled). 
    NOTES: 1) If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you originally 
    expected may no longer be possible. 2) Turning the lamp on and off reduces lamp life 
    significantly, as do other factors. 3) It is recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed 
    the expected lamp life, otherwise a lamp could become dangerously fragile with 
    overuse. 
    Set which 
    LAMP MODE you want to use in order to control 
    the light output. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as 
    possible (i.e., always using maximum power—this is the 
    default upon power up) or you can power the lamp with a 
    specific wattage appropriate for the installed lamp or you can set a specific intensity 
    (brightness) to maintain. Although there are exceptions, generally higher light output 
    or higher power settings can shorten lamp life. 
    Use the lamp mode that best suits your brightness needs. For example, in a tiled 
    application you may want to precisely match brightness levels between adjacent 
    images—judge by eye and set each individual 
    Lamp Power setting as necessary. Or if 
    you want images to be as bright as possible—choose 
    Max Brightness. Always keep in 
    mind that higher lamp power settings can shorten lamp life. 
    Lamp modes are described below: 
     
    Max Brightness: The lamp will always burn as brightly as possible, driven by 
    100% of the power level rating for the installed lamp (see Section 6, 
    Specifications). Keep in mind that the “maximum brightness” for any lamp 
    gradually diminishes with age—images will become dimmer over time. Its current 
    output level appears in the “
    Intensity” option (not in lumens). 
     
    Intensity: Brightness will remain close to a specified level for as long as possible. 
    Once you select this option, enter a number representing the intensity level 
    (brightness) you wish to maintain—the projector will automatically adjust power 
    as needed to maintain this intensity as closely as possible. Note that the intensity 
    value is a correlation only and does not represent an actual lumens level. See 
    “
    Intensity” below.  
     
    Power: The power supplied to the lamp will remain at your specified wattage 
    level. Once you select this option, enter the number of watts representing the 
    power level you wish to maintain. See “
    Power” below.  
    						
    							Section 3: Operation  
    3-58  Mirage S+/HD/WU, Matrix S+/HD/WU, Christie HD/DS+/DW, DLV User Manual  020-100001-07 Rev. 1 (11-2009) 
    POWER - This slide bar and number indicates how many 
    watts are applied to the lamp. You can apply anywhere 
    from approximately 60-65% of the maximum power intended for the installed lamp 
    up to 100% of the lamp rating. Set for the number of watts as desired, keeping in mind 
    that lower power levels produce dimmer images. When in either 
    Power or Max 
    Brightness
     modes, the power level remains constant. Specifying a maximum power 
    level here is the same as operating in 
    Max Brightness mode.  
    NOTE: Power level can be set only if the lamp is in P
    ower mode. 
    INTENSITY – This value and slide bar represents the 
    current brightness of your lamp, decreasing over time 
    when you are operating in 
    Max Brightness mode or at a specific Power level. When 
    you are operating in “
    Intensity” mode this value remains at the original “Intensity” 
    setting chosen and cannot be adjusted.  
    NOTE: The number shown for “intensity” is not the actual lumen output, but rather a 
    correlated value only—1246 may represent 3500 lumens, for example. 
    To use “
    Intensity” mode, judge by eye (or use a meter) and set the level as desired for 
    your application. Over time, the projector will automatically increase the power 
    supplied to the lamp as needed to maintain the chosen intensity as closely as possible. 
    This mode is known as “Brightness Tracking” or “LiteLOC”. 
    HOW LONG CAN I MAINTAIN BRIGHTNESS? Software can maintain your “Intensity” 
    setting until the required power reaches the maximum rating for the lamp. The lower 
    the setting, the longer it will take to reach this threshold and the longer you can 
    maintain the desired brightness. Keep in mind that once the lamp power reaches its 
    maximum wattage (see “
    Power”, above), this tracking is no longer possible. At this 
    point, the lamp will gradually begin to dim as usual, even though your original 
    “
    Intensity” value will still appear in the menu. To resume accurate tracking, reduce the 
    intensity setting so that the resulting “
    Power” value is less than its maximum—the 
    lower the intensity, the longer it can be maintained. 
    For example, a 1000-watt lamp can be driven at no more than 1000 watts. To produce 
    desired brightness at the screen, a new lamp would likely need less than this 
    maximum rating—perhaps 812 watts (example only). Over time, however, the lamp 
    will require more and more current in order to generate the desired light, until 
    eventually the lamp wattage reaches its 1000-watt maximum and the lamp power 
    automatically levels off. At this point, the tracking function terminates (i.e., the power 
    level stabilizes) and the lamp will begin to dim normally. Either reduce your 
    “
    Intensity” setting or replace the lamp. 
    Do not lower the “
    Intensity” so much that the corresponding “Power” value reaches its 
    minimum—the intensity setting will be inaccurate and cannot be maintained. For best 
    results in achieving uniform intensity amongst tiled images, choose an “
    Intensity” 
    setting that enables all lamps to operate at less than the maximum number of watts 
    available in your projector but high enough to keep the corresponding lamp power 
    above its minimum. See “
    Power”, above. 
    NOTES: 1) Lamps become more stable over time, thus a specific intensity is more 
    easily maintained as the lamp ages. 2) Intensity can be set only if the lamp is in

    OPTICAL APERTURE -  This option is also available under the Advanced Image 
    Settings menu. See 4.6 – Adjusting the Image for details. 
    LAMP HISTORY - This read-only option lists the lamps most 
    recently installed and recorded in the projector. Lamp History 
    automatically updates whenever you record a new lamp serial 
    number—the new lamp is added to the bottom of the list. 
     
    Use 
    CHANGE LAMP to record the serial number for a newly installed lamp: 
    In the Lamp S/N window, use the number text entry keys to record the new lamp serial 
    number and press 
     again to accept the change. See Using Slide bars and Other 
    Controls if you need help entering the number. Once entered, the new lamp serial 
    number will be added to the Lamp History menu and the Lamp Hours timer will reset 
    to “0”. Lamp Mode and Lamp Limit remain as they were for the previous lamp and 
    can be changed at any time. See Figure 3.13. 
    NOTE: To scroll through letters/alpha numerics, refer to 3.4 Navigating the Menus,

    Figure 3.13. Recording the New Lamp Serial Number 
    NOTE: Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will 
    help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours 
    logged on the lamp will be accurate. 
     IMPORTANT  
    ALWAYS record the serial number of a NEW lamp.

    When a new lamp is installed and its serial 
    number recorded by selecting “Change 
    Lamp” in the Lamp menu, the lamp timer 
    resets to “0” and begins logging time for 
    the new lamp. This tally appears in both 
    the Lamp menu (see right) and the Status 
    menu. 
    To review the number of hours logged for 
    previous lamps, consult the Lamp History 
    menu. 
    If the “Lamp Message” checkbox has been 
    enabled in the Lamp menu (recommended), an expiry message will appear upon 
    power-up when the lamp has reached its defined “Lamp Limit”. In addition, the 
    LED’s next to the built-in keypad will flash “LP” when lamp time has expired. The 
    lamp should be replaced. 
    The “Lamp Limit” setting should not exceed the expected lamp life, as an old lamp 
    becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure. See also 4.4, Lamp 
    and Filter Replacement. 
    The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional 
    components currently detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions 
    of hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp, the hours logged in total 
    and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name 
    and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its 
    location, its frequencies and other details. 
    Scroll the full Status menu using 
     . Use  for page up/down. 
     
    IMPORTANT:
     When working with more than two projectors, it’s important to work 
    left to right, top to bottom. 
     
    When an installation requires multiple projectors, you can use the RS232 serial ports 
    to daisy chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad or a 
    computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a network, you can 
    choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the 
    Pr o j key as desired to 
    limit responses to an individual projector.  
    Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet network. See 
    2.4, Connecting Communications for full routing details. 
    NOTE: Refer back to 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for 
    complete information about communicating with multiple projectors. 
    In a multiple-projector wall, you will likely want to precisely match color and intensity 
    from image-to-image so that the full wall is as uniform as possible. This matching is 
    typically done in conjunction with brightness uniformity and edge blending.
