Digital Projection LIGHTNING 10sx And LIGHTNING 15sx User Manual

The function buttons, located at the bottom of the remote control, allow you to
adjust (where applicable) the brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, hue, 
position, size, pixel resolution, pixel phase and colour temperature of the channel
currently being displayed. If a motorised lens mount is fitted to the projector the
focus and horizontal/vertical position of the displayed image may also be adjusted
using the ‘LENS’ button.
Although it is not a necessity, it is recommended that the On Screen...

LENS SHIFT
Adjusts the horizontal and vertical position of the displayed image relative to the
projector. To select Lens Shift press LENS until the Lens Shift dialogue box
appears on the screen. The horizontal shift can then be adjusted using the ïand ð
cursors. The vertical shift (rising/falling front) is adjusted by using the ñand ò
cursors.
Vertical and horizontal shift can be used in combination, however the extent of their
individual ranges will be reduced depending on the amount of shift used i.e....

Multiple projectors are used to produce a brighter image, to join up two or more
images or to display two or more images side by side.
When using multiple projectors it may be necessary to control all projectors at once,
or to operate an individual projector. This is achieved through the use of the Infra-
red remote control or a computer.
Each projector has its own unique address which is set using the remote control or a
computer (see Set Projector Address, C—35 & Computer Control, opposite). The...

To control the projector by computer, it is necessary to set up certain parameters
within the control device and then connect the projector via a suitable cable to the
computer (see D—19, Cables & Connections). The cable should be plugged into the
‘Computer In’ port on the projector and extra projectors may be connected, in
‘Daisy Chain’ fashion, using the ‘Computer Out’ port. A maximum number of 127
individually addressed projectors may be connected in this way.
The projector and computer send data to...

Using an appropriate RS232 interface (see D—19, Cables & Connections) the 
projector can be used in conjunction with a third party switching device. Currently
‘Extron System 8’ and ‘Extron System 10’ are compatible with the projector.
The projector and external switching device communicate at RS232 levels using the
following protocols:-
Data Rate:9,600 baud
Data bits:8
Stop bits:1
Parity:None
Handshake:None
At present, an external switcher will allow you to control the lamp power, picture
mute and...
