The Palm Pilot Control Utility has been designed to allow extensive operational
control of the projector without using the on-screen menu system.
The Palm Pilot connects to the projectors computer port via a straight wired 9 pin
male to female cable and uses the following settings - 19,200 baud, 8 bits, no parity,
1 stop bit, no flow control.
Assuming the connection to the projector is set up correctly, when you activate the
Power Control Utility the Function screen will be displayed. This screen allows...

Query - allows you to request the projectors current settings. To the left of this

The projectors arc lamp emits a luminous fluxmeasured in lumens. This flux is
directed at the screen and illuminates it, the illuminance(E) can be measured in Lux
(lumens/m2) or Foot Candles (lumens/ft
2). The illuminanceof the screen is 
calculated by dividing the incident flux by the illuminated screen area.
The brightness of the screen, known as the screen luminance(B) is determined by
the amount of light reflected from it (or transmitted through it if using a rear 
projection screen). If the screen...

A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator and
utilises 1,310,720 moving aluminium mirrors, with each one representing a pixel in
the final projected image. Each mirror is suspended over address electrodes by a
torsion hinge between two posts. Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each
mirror will either tilt to left or to the right. When light is applied to the complete
DMD™, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to the left is projected.
The projector...

The mirrors in the DMD™ are arranged in a 1280 x 1024 array allowing images of
all aspect ratios to be displayed. However, the proportion of DMD™ effectively
used will differ depending on the aspect ratio of the image. The diagrams below
show the DMD™ usage for each aspect ratio (4 x 3, 5 x 4, 8 x 5, 14 x 9 and 16 x 9)
with the shaded areas representing redundant mirrors.
