• Baud Rate
Determines the speed of communication to and from the projector on the RS-232 or RS-422 links. The 
maximum rate for the RS-232 is 115200; for RS-422 it is 19200. Set the baud rate to match that of your 
controlling device, such as your PC. See the documentation for the controlling device to determine the baud 
rate. In an existing network of projectors, if you discover that a projector has a different baud rate,...

The Func+Help key combination will immediately disable the Keystone, Brightness Uniformity, Edge 
Blending and Black Level Blending features. This is helpful when, in some extreme keystone configurations, 
some image corruption may appear and/or the menus may not be readable. Although Func + Help
 disables 
these features, it will not overwrite their settings. If keystone is simply enabled again, the same image 
corruption may...

The Show Blending Overlap control enables or disables edge blending 
overlap. When enabled, this will make the size of the Edge Blending regions 
obvious. This control should only be used during setup.
For information about advanced blending of complex configurations, for 
example with spherical screens, see the TWIST User Manual (020-100143-xx).
In simple terms, a blend appears as a gradient strip along an edge of a projected...

Show Blending Overlap 
Turns your defined blend width area to solid gray so that, if needed, simply overlapping the gray bars can 
seamlessly align 2 adjacent images. Clear the Show Blending Overlap check box to reactivate the blend 
effect. 
Other Functions

functions duplicate those provided elsewhere in the menu...

5. Re-adjust width (both projectors) until the overly bright band at the midpoint of the overlapping blends 
disappears or just changes to very light gray. For the shared edge, use the same Blend Width setting on 
each projector. 
NOTE: If the best blend appears to be between 2 settings, choose the wider setting for both projectors.
6. Check the blend and adjust as required:
