CineVERSUM recommends that you use the Avia Guide to Home Theater DVD to assist in this setup. Determining the Correct Output Resolution for Your Display Determine the optimum output resolution to set your Master Three to get the best picture from your display. To do this correctly, you must know what the native resolution or maximum resolution of your display. Native resolution refers to the actual pixel count of a fixed pixel display. Fixed pixel display technologies include plasma, LCD, DLP and LCoS. CRT-based technologies use scan lines so they do not have a native resolution but they do have a maximum resolution. Keep in mind that some displays do not accept their native resolution. The following is an example of specifications from an LCD TV: •Diagonal Screen Size (inches) 32 •Display Capability 480p/720p/1080i/p •Aspect Ratio 16:9 (Widescreen) •Resolution (Number of Pixels) 1280 x 768 (1,049,088 pixels) The native resolution of this display is 1280x768, which a Master Three can output, but this display is only capable of accepting 480p, 720p, or 1080i signals. For this display, the best output resolution to choose on the Master Three is 720p, since it is the closest to the native resolution of this display. An example of the specifications from a CRT-based rear projection display is shown below: SettingDescription Picture Control Brightness Contrast Saturation Hue Sharpness Chroma Error Correction Y/C Delay Display ProfileProfile 1 - 10 or User Audio SelectAudio 1 - 4 Audio Delay Overscan VCR Mode Film Mode Input A/R PresetPreset 1 - 10 or User Preset User PresetFrame AR Active Input ARPre-defined or User AR User AR Hor.

Configuration ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Test Patterns ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Frame Geometry To turn the test patterns on and off, use the Test Patterns button on your remote control. You can also navigate backwards and forwards through the test patterns, using the < and > buttons respectively.
5.0 APPENDIX R599751 - Master Three User Manual 35 Frame/Geometry Test Pattern Displayed Correctly When this test pattern is displayed correctly, it should look like this, with a one-pixel wide white border around the edge of the screen: Frame/Geometry Test Pattern The test pattern is almost displayed correctly. You can see the 1-pixel wide white border on the top, bottom and left side of the image but not on the right side of the image. By adjusting the horizontal size of this signal to 1360 (rather than 1366), you can get this test pattern displayed correctly on the display. To change the horizontal size of the image, you must first put the Master Three in ‘Advanced’ user mode. Configuration ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ User Mode ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Advanced Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ H-Size ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒1360 In some cases, the output format is correct, but the image just needs to be shifted to fill the screen correctly. Do this by using the Horizontal and Vertical Shift options in the ‘Output Setup’ menu. Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 1366x768 ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ H-Shift ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Range Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 1366x768 ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ V-Shift ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Range There are three test patterns used to verify that the chosen output resolution is the native resolution of your display and that you are bypassing any internal processing in your display. They are the checkerboard, vertical lines and horizontal lines test patterns. When the checkerboard test pattern is displayed correctly, close up you should be able to see a 1-pixel checkerboard and at proper viewing distance the image should appear as an even gray. If your display is CRT-based you will not see this checkerboard, but your screen should be an even gray. When this test pattern is displayed incorrectly, the resulting image does not look like a fine checkerboard and may have irregular patterns. When this is the case, the chosen output resolution may not be the native resolution of your display or your display may scale all input signals even if the input resolution is already at native resolution. Check to make sure that the output resolution selected on the Master Three is the correct output resolution for your display. Any adjustments made to the output format change your selected output from the resolution you selected to ‘User’. This allows you to adjust the output without affecting the default settings If this test pattern does not appear as it should, and you have chosen the native resolution of your display, you may not be able to bypass the internal processing on your display.
5.0 APPENDIX 36 R599751 - Master Three User Manual The ‘Vertical Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image, you know that the display is scaling the signal horizontally. To override the internal scaling, adjust the horizontal size of the image to see if the test pattern can be displayed correctly. Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ User ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ H-Size ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Adjust The ‘Horizontal Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image then you know that the display is scaling the signal vertically. To override the internal scaling, adjust the vertical size of the image to see if the test pattern can be displayed correctly. Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ User ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ V-Size ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Adjust The ‘Judder’ test pattern displays a bar that bounces back and forth at the chosen output frequency selected in the ‘framerate’ parameter. When this test pattern is displayed correctly, the bar moves smoothly across the screen and bounces from side to side. When this pattern is displayed incorrectly, this bar may ‘tear’ as it moves across the screen. To adjust the framerate conversion, go to the ‘Output Setup’ menu.

Adjustments should be made on your display, not on the Master Three, to correctly setup your Master Three and display. The ‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern will assist you in setting up both the brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) of your display. The ‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern is composed of 4 quarter-screen blocks. Two of the blocks have a background level of standard black and the other two blocks have a background level of standard white. Embedded in the black blocks are 3 bars. One is 4 IRE below black (blacker-than-black), one is 1 IRE above black, and the third is 2 IRE above black. Embedded in the white blocks are 3 bars. One is 1 IRE above white (whiter-then-white), one is 1 IRE below white, and the third is 2 IRE below white. The bottom two blocks differ slightly from these levels. For the bottom two blocks, the blacker-than-black is at the lowest possible luma level and the whiter-than-white bar is at the highest possible luma level. When the brightness and contrast are adjusted correctly, you should be able to see the 1 IRE and 2 IRE above black bars on the black background and the 1 IRE and 2 IRE below white bars should be visible on the white background. When the brightness is adjusted correctly, black objects should appear ‘black’ with the details still intact and lighter areas should be ‘light’, not gray, with the details still intact. When the contrast is adjusted correctly, white objects will appear ‘white’ with the details still intact. Because the contrast settings can affect brightness settings we recommend that you check the brightness setting after making this adjustment. The ‘Color8 Bars75’ and ‘Color8 Bars100’ will assist in setting up the saturation (color) and hue (tint) of your display. The ‘Color8 Bars75’ test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at a 75% saturation level. The ‘Color8 Bars100’ test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at a 100% saturation level. From left to right the Note: If you have a CRT based display, following the instructions above may yield a contrast setting too high. If the contrast is set too high, you will get blooming and loss of details in the highlighted areas. It is more helpful to use the two vertical lines in the test pattern. Adjust the contrast up and down and you will notice that these lines will bend as you increase the contrast. To properly adjust contrast on a CRT based display, decrease the contrast until the vertical lines start to straighten out. If possible, the two lines should be straight. On some CRT, the lines may not straighten even if you turn the contrast to its minimum. If this is the case, slowly increase the contrast to a point just before the vertical lines have extreme bending. You have now properly set up the contrast of your display. Continue to set up brightness as detailed above.
5.0 APPENDIX R599751 - Master Three User Manual 37 bars are: white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and black. To properly adjust the saturation and hue you will need to use the blue colored filter that comes with AVIA. You will also need to turn off any automatic flesh tone controls on your display before making these adjustments. When the Saturation and Hue are adjusted correctly, the white bar and the blue bar should be exactly the same shade when looking through the blue filter. Saturation and hue settings interact with each other so after making this setting you may want to go back and check that the saturation setting is correct. The ‘Gray Ramp’ can help verify that your display is showing the gradients between black and white correctly. You should see a smooth transition between black and white with this test pattern. Special Equipment Needed for Display Calibration To assist in this calibration, theMaster Three includes IRE windows to be used with the proper calibration equipment. Test Patterns Used: Window IRE10 Window IRE20 Window IRE30 Window IRE40 Window IRE50 Window IRE60 Window IRE70 Window IRE80 Window IRE90 Window IRE100 CRT Display Calibration To get the best picture from your CRT-based display make sure that the red, blue and green signals are converged properly. To assist in converging these three signals, the Master Three has two test patterns. In addition to convergence, make sure that the focus is optimally adjusted. Another test pattern has been included, specifically designed for this application. On some displays, these settings may not be available unless you get into the service menu. CineVERSUM recommends that you hire an certified technician to make these adjustments if you do not feel comfortable getting into the service menu. Test Patterns Used: XHatch Coarse XHatch Fine Focus Source Calibration Test Patterns Used: Half Black/White H-Clr7 Bars75 H-Clr7 Bars100 H-Clr8 Bars75 H-Clt8 Bars100 To get the best performance out of each of your sources you should individually calibrate each input specifically to the connected source. In this section, all picture control adjustments are made using the Master Three’s picture controls. Keep in mind that if you replace a source with a new component you will also want to recalibrate the input. To calibrate each source correctly you will need the source to output a reference test pattern similar to what is built in to the Master Three. For sources like DVD, LD and D-VHS this content is readily available. But for a source like HD satellite or cable, these test patterns are played on channels like HDNet at off hours. So if you have a DVR CineVERSUM recommends that you record these test patterns. IRE IRE stands for International Radio Engineers and it is a relative scale. It defines the volt peak to peak video divided up into 140 IRE units. This is done to make numbers for luminance levels easier to communicate. In the ISF Training Manual, it is described as the amplitude of the video signal from blanking (zero volts) to peak white is 0.714286 volts or 100 IRE units. Synchronization signals extend from blanking to -0.285714 volts or -40 IRE units.
5.0 APPENDIX 38 R599751 - Master Three User Manual AVIA will assist in setting up the input to which your DVD player is connected. CineVERSUM recommends that you use a digital connection, DVI, HDMI or SDI, or a high quality analog connection, component video. Don’t use S- Video or Composite video for a higher quality source like DVD. Before calibrating the input for your DVD player, make sure that your DVD player is set to ‘16:9’ output, not ‘4:3’. You will also want to turn off any extraneous features like noise reduction which may add more noise than help. Set all picture settings on the DVD player to either ‘Off’, ‘default’, or ‘0’. Use the test patterns included on the AVIA DVD to adjust the picture controls on this input. If you are not familiar with how to make these adjustments, watch the guided setup first, and then make each adjustment. You can find the guided setup by clicking ‘Advanced AVIA’ from the main menu, and then selecting ‘Basic Video Adjustments’ on the following menu page. Each picture control is explained in depth and the narrative will tell you what to look for in a properly adjusted display. Once you have made these adjustments, there are several patterns on the AVIA DVD that can be used in conjunction with the built-in test patterns of the Master Three to verify the settings are correct. Access these as follows: 1) After inserting the AVIA DVD into your DVD player, press the ‘top menu’ button to bring up the main menu. 2) From the main menu, select ‘Advanced AVIA’. 3) On the right hand side of the ‘Calibrations’ menu page select ‘Video Test Patterns’. 4) From the ‘Video Test Patterns’ menu, select ‘Gray Scale & Levels’. 5) From the ‘Black and White Levels’ menu, select the ‘Needle Pulses’ test pattern. This is to be used with the ‘Half B/W’ internal test pattern from the Master Three. 6) Once you have adjusted brightness and contrast, go back to the ‘Video Test Patterns’ menu and select ‘Color Adjustment’. 7) From the ‘Color Adjustment’ menu, select ‘Special Color Bars’. Use the ‘Full Bars’ test pattern in conjunction with the ‘H-Clr7 Bars75’ internal test pattern from the scaler. Use the ‘Full 100 Bars’ with the ‘H-Clr7 Bars100’ internal test pattern. 5.3 Troubleshooting My Master Three shows an error message. If the Master Three does not boot correctly, you may get an error message. Performing a hard reset of the Master Three should clear any memory errors and reboot the unit to its factory default. If you still get an error message after performing a hard reset, contact our distributor for service. •Perform a hard reset of the Master Three unit using the remote control as follows: 1) Press the Configuration button on the remote until the Front Panel Display (FPD) reads ‘Configuration / Factory Default’. 2) Press Enter. The FPD indicates ‘No’ 3) Press the up arrow. The FPD indicates ‘Yes’ 4) Press Enter. The Master Three reboots to its factory default •Perform a hard reset of the Master Three unit using the buttons on the front panel as follows: 1) Unplug the power supply from the Master Three unit 2) Press Menu and Exit buttons simultaneously while plugging the power back in. 3) The Master Three will take about 15-20 seconds to perform the hard reset. The picture has horizontal lines with the Output set to 1080p60 (or 720p60) The Output Format 1080p60 is defined by SMPTE 274M standard to match a Video Output at 60 frames per second (or 59.94Hz, depending on your display). Using the Output Format 1080p60 with a Video Signal at 50Hz can lead to a wrong decoding by your display. To obtain a clear picture, do as follow: •Change the output frame rate to 50 Hz-locked then change the output format to 1080p50 Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Frame Rate ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 50 Hz ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 50 Hz lock or Unlock ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 50.00 Output Setup ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ Format ⇒⇒ ⇒ ⇒ 1080p50 The Output Signal sent to your display would have a frame rate of 50Hz, using the 1080p50 Output Format.

The Output Signal sent to your display would have a 59.94Hz frame rate, using the 1080p60 Output Format. The picture is green when I use the analog output of the Master Three. A green picture usually means that a component video signal is being sent to the RGBHV input of a display. Follow the instructions earlier in the user guide to setup your Master Three to work with a display with RGBHV inputs No picture when I connect the Master Three to the HDMI input of my display. The default output from the Master Three is digital RGB 4:4:4 (DVI Standard). Make sure that the display that you are connected to is HDCP compliant. The Blue status LED blinks on the front panel of the Master Three. A blinking blue light on the Master Three means that the scaler is processing an HDCP-protected signal, but is unable to authenticate with the display. Verify that your display is HDCP compliant. If it is not HDCP compliant, use component connections. If the display is compliant, then verify that the ‘HDCP mode’ is set to ‘On’ in the ‘Input Adjust’ and ‘Output Setup’ menus. If the problem persists, check the cabling and try new cables, if possible or try cycling the power on your display or HDCP source. The Green status LED blinks on the front panel of the Master Three. The LED on the Master Three blinks green when it is passing a copy protected signal to a non-HDCP display. If your display is not HDCP compliant, then the image won’t be displayed. Use component connections from your source to your Master Three instead. Will I lose the settings on my Master Three if I update the software version. Currently, the Master Three may lose its settings when a software update is performed. Take note of your output settings before updating the software version on your unit.
