(CCS) SELECT OUTPUT COLOR 
CONTROL GROUP: Input     SUBCLASS: Power Down           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
Selects which of several predefined and 4 user defined color maps to use for a specific Input signal. 
0 = MaxDrives - All color adjustments are turned off allowing the projector to run at maximum brightness. 
1 = Color Temperature - This will allow you to specify a color temperature between 3200 and 9300 based on the 
setting of the Color Temperature control. Color temperature is expressed in degrees Kelvin [3200, 5400, etc.].
Lower numbers give a reddish white, higher numbers appear bluish. There are 4 standard settings. 9300K is close 
to the white of many computer monitors. 6500K is the standard for color video, in both standard- and high-
definition forms. 5400K is a standard for graphics and black-and-white video. 3200K is useful if the projected 
image is to be filmed or shot as part of a studio set that is illuminated with incandescent lights. For all color 
temperatures, the color primaries [red, green & blue] are unchanged and reflect the native colors of the projector. 
2 = SD Video - Optimized for SD video. This will allow you to adjust the color of red, green and blue, as well as 
the color white. 
3 = HD Video - Optimized for HD video. This will allow you to adjust the color of red, green and blue, as well as 
the color of white. 
4 = User 1 - Selects a user defined sets of color adjustments. 
5 = User 2 - Selects a user defined sets of color adjustments. 
6 = User 3 - Selects a user defined sets of color adjustments. 
7 = User 4 - Selects a user defined sets of color adjustments. 
The set of 4 User Defined settings are defined in the configuration menu.

(CHA) CHANNEL 
CONTROL GROUP: Unsaved    SUBCLASS: Power Up           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
Select the channel to use, in the range 1-99. Switching channels will switch to the appropriate option card/Input. If 
the signal signature in the channel does not match the signal on the channels Input, the channel change will switch 
to the “auto-channel” or to the channel that was defined for the signal signature that is on the channels Input. This 
command will fail if the data in the channel file does not match the current system hardware. This command can 
also be used to copy, delete and edit certain channel properties.
SUBCODE

(CLE) COLOR ENABLE 
CONTROL GROUP: Unsaved     SUBCLASS: Power Up           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
This control allows the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) to be turned ON or OFF separately. It is used to 
look at the colors one at a time or in pairs when doing convergence, light measurements, etc. The list of values for 
this command are: 
0 = White 
1 = Red 
2 = Green 
3 = Blue 4 = Yellow 
5 = Cyan 
6 = Magenta

(CLE 5) - Display green and blue portion of image only. 
(CLE 0) - Display image normally (all primaries). 
(CLP) CLAMPING 
CONTROL GROUP: Input     SUBCLASS: Power Up           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
For all analog signals a clamping pulse is generated that defines where in the signal a black reference can be 
found. The Clamp Location sets the clamping pulse to one of three possible locations: tip, back porch & tri-level. 
For most signals the correct position is backporch, just after the sync pulse. If the signal has no back porch and 
there is no sync pulse in the RG or B signals, clamping can occur at the front or tip of the sync pulse. 
For HDTV signals [1080i & 720p] the clamp must be moved past the positive pulse of the tri-level sync pulse, so 
the tri-level option is correct. For almost all other signals, backporch is correct. Sync tip is needed only if the 
backporch is too small. For many signals, this control will have no effect. Change this setting only if the image 
appears unusually dim, has horizontal streaks, or shows significant color drift.

(CON) CONTRAST 
CONTROL GROUP: Input     SUBCLASS: Power Down           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
This control sets the image contrast by adjusting the gain applied to the Input signal. It has exactly the same effect 
as adjusting the Input levels, except that it operates an all 3 colors and can be used to make quick adjustments. For 
precise control, the Input level adjustments should be used. If the setting is too high, bright portions of the image 
that are not quite at peak white are displayed as peak white and detail is lost in the brightest parts of the image. 
This condition is known as crushing. If the setting is too low, the image will be dimmer than it need be. Start from 
a lower setting and adjust upwards until just below the point where white is crushed.

(CSP) COLOR SPACE 
CONTROL GROUP: Input     SUBCLASS: Power Down           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
This control specifies which color space the Input signal uses. This determines how the color components are decoded for 
accurate color in the display. Color space control only applies to analog Input signals. Although the proper color space is 
normally determined automatically by the projector, you can override the setting. Use RGB unless you are using component 
video. Use YPbPr(SDTV) for most video sources. Use YPbPr(HDTV) for high definition signals. 
NOTE: When certain RGB signals are first connected, the projector may not initially recognize them as RGB and may 
incorrectly decode their color information as YPbPr(SDTV). These signals can include: RGB signals in NTSC, PAL, 
SECAM frequency ranges, Scan-doubled sync-on-green, Scan-quadrupled sync-on-green. For these signals, change the Color 
Space to RGB, then define a new channel for future use. Values are: 
0 = RGB 
1 = YPbPr (SDTV) 
2 = YPbPr (HDTV)

(DTL) DETAIL 
CONTROL GROUP: Input     SUBCLASS: Power Down           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
This control adjusts the sharpness of the image. The sharpness detail enhancement applied is based on adaptive 
horizontal, vertical and diagonal large edge and small edge enhancement processes. 
Setting detail above the halfway-point can introduce noise in the image; lower settings can improve a noisy 
signal. This command does not take effect unless the minimum change required in the (DTT) control is reached.

higher settings of detail. 
This control sets the minimum change required before the detail (DTL) function is activated. This allows images 
to be sharpened without increasing the background noise.

(EBB) BLACK LEVEL BLENDING 
CONTROL GROUP: Config/Preference     SUBCLASS: Power Up           ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
The Black Level Blending control allows for Black Level Blending. Black Level Blending is the process of 
modifying the pixels in the bright overlapping areas that result from the overlapping of two or more images. 
Correct adjustment eliminates uneven black levels by matching up black area hues with a target area hue (the 
intersection of the center lines), and adjusting the overlaps (edges) surrounding the target area. Use the black test 
pattern to perform this function.
