Digital Projection LIGHTNING 10sx And LIGHTNING 15sx User Manual

							COMPMODE (Channel Computer Mode)
COMPMODE enables you to modify individual computer modes. If the current
channel is a video configuration, you will not be able to access this function.
The Channel Computer Mode screen is split into two main areas. The top of the
screen displays the channel number, channel name and the computer card. The
remainder of the screen provides a list of available modes with the current mode
highlighted. The list provides horizontal and vertical scan rates, sync pulse polarity
and a name to help you select the required mode. To exit this screen you must use
the Exit button on the remote.
Select a mode using the cursor keys and press ENTER. This will change the
display to the Mode Parameters window and allow you to make modifications. If
you select a mode other than the one currently being used to display the image, the
display will turn light blue. The Mode Parameters window will then be displayed.
Modifications in the Mode Parameters window can have a serious effect upon
whether or not the mode can be used. Therefore a message box will appear upon
entry stating - CAUTION Changes in this dialogue may prevent the Mode from
being selected by a Computer signal.

							Mode Name- You can re-name the mode (maximum of nine characters).
Scan- The projector will automatically determine the horizontal and vertical
frequencies of the mode from the incoming signal.
Sync polarity- Check boxes are used to select the polarity of the horizontal and
vertical syncs. The N/A (not applicable) choice will cause the polarity to be ignored
in the selection of the mode. This is necessary in the case of Apple Macintosh
computers
which do not utilise sync polarity.
Active Pixels- The pixel resolution can be set between 630 and 1280. The pixel
phase is defined by a number between 0 and 100.
Aspect Ratio- The aspect ratio is chosen from a flyout list.
When the mode parameters have been modified press the SAVE AS button located
at the foot of the screen, to enter the SAVE AS window.

							SAVE AS
This command can save any changes made to the parameters. The SAVE AS screen
allows you to edit the mode name in order to save your changes as an additional
mode for the computer card. The window also displays the amount of user memory
available to store new modes.
If there is insufficient memory, a message box will appear upon entry to the SAVE
AS window stating - Cannot create Computer Mode due to insufficient memory.
Need to delete a COMPUTER entry from the library of Computer Cards. Go to
ADD COMPUTER Dialogue in Menu. (New Mode will be lost if Channel is
Changed.). On pressing OK, the message box and Save As window will close and
you will return to the previous level in the menu system.
If the Card Data Set is in ROM (i.e. it is a factory preset) then the whole set will be
copied to non-volatile memory along with the New Mode. It will be saved with the
same name as the computer card but with an asterix ( 
* ) appended to distinguish it
from the factory preset version.

							A number of test patterns are provided to check the operation of the projector.
Selected from the Main menu the Test Pattern window is as shown below.
Convergence - a cross pattern generated by the digital board and used by factory
set-up staff for converging the DMDs. This pattern is also useful to 
confirm projector alignment. 
Contrast - a 4 by 4, black and white checked pattern generated by the light engine
electronics and used to measure contrast ratio.
Grid - a grid generated by the light engine electronics consisting of white lines on a
black background that performs a similar function to convergence.
White Field- a digital white field generated by the light engine electronics to check
full field contrast ratio.
Black Field- a digital black field generated by the light engine electronics to check
full field contrast ratio.

							Colour Bars- an analogue colour pattern generated by the analogue board to verify
the colour  reproduction.
Greyscale- generated by the analogue board to assist in the correct setting of
colour balance, this is an 8 step greyscale ranging from black on the left to white on
the right.
To select a test pattern, position the cursor over the required pattern and press enter
to put a cross in the check box. Only one pattern can be selected at a time and it will
be displayed over any input images.
The convergence, colour bars and grey scale test patterns leave the menu system 
on screen. To view one of these patterns without the menu, press MENU on the
remote. To reactivate the menu system, press MENU again; you will be returned to
the test pattern screen.
To remove a pattern, toggle the check box again to remove the cross and to return
any input signal to the screen.
In the event of a processing fault, selecting various patterns may help identify on
which component the fault is located. The user should select each test pattern in
turn and report the results to their service manager.
To exit the Test Pattern menu press the EXIT button on the remote.
