Advanced Size and Position — SUBMENU 
This submenu consists of the 
following options: 
ACTIVE INPUT WINDOW: This 
read-only value indicates the 
current size (i.e., area) of your 
displayed data or “region of 
interest” as defined by the 
blanking controls. By default, the 
projector automatically 
determines what portion of its full resolution to use, and pixels in the surrounding 
borders are turned off....

PLUG & DISPLAY (EDID): By default, a Plug & Play 
 source outputs a signal according to the 
EDID information provided by the projector. To 
override this information and display in a different 
format (for example, if your Plug & Play [EDID] 
device does not support the projector’s resolution 
and/or frequency), select the desired Plug & Play 
 resolution from the list. 
Any daisy-chained projectors will...

Gamma 
(
SHORT CUT: Press Gam m a and adjust the slidebar.) 
“Gamma” is a global setting that determines what gray shades are displayed between 
minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma 
setting helps to optimize blacks and 
whites while ensuring smooth transitions 
for the “in-between” values utilized in 
other colors. Thus, unlike “Brightness” 
and “Contrast” controls,...

Detail 
“Detail” adjusts the sharpness of a video image so that edges remain clearly defined. 
It can be particularly useful if a significant “Noise Reduction” adjustment has caused 
the image to appear too soft. Adjust until the display is as sharp as desired, keeping in 
mind that because “Detail” adds some high frequencies back into the image, it can 
also re-introduce a certain degree of noise.

ENABLE DECODER AGC: Automatic Gain Control (AGC) affects decoded video 
images only. Enter a checkmark (default) in most instances—this activates the 
decoder’s AGC circuit to ensure properly bright images. Delete the checkmark if a 
decoded video image exhibits strange color artifacts such as stripes in highly 
saturated colors, indicating an incompatibility between this source and the AGC.

COLOR: This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level, i.e. the amount of color in a 
video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors — for example a setting of 
“0” produces a black and white image. If the color level is too high, colors will be 
overpowering and unrealistic. 
TINT: This slidebar adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of 
video and HDTV signals connected to...

NOTES: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color 
temperature used. 2) Assuming that color temperature has been set up based on the 
internal test patterns, you can then set up input levels for a given source so that it 
matches the color temperature of the internal test patterns. 
AUTO INPUT LEVEL – Temporarily enter a checkmark only if you are an experienced 
user and you have an...

CLAMP LOCATION – This option (formerly known as sync tip 
clamping) can brighten the image produced from certain high-
resolution high-frequency graphic sources. For almost all 
sources, the projector automatically selects the best clamp 
location. Use the normal Back Porch location if the image is either sufficiently bright 
or overly bright. Select Sync Tip if the image appears unusually dim, if there...

SELECT COLOR ADJUSTMENT: In “Select Color 
Adjustment”, choose an overall color palette for all images. 
The “Max Drives” factory default simply drives all 3 colors 
at their maximum level so that they are fully on and cannot 
be changed. The two other pre-defined color adjustment 
choices—SD Video and HD Video—apply a color gamut 
optimized for video sources (standard or high-definition).
