Assuming you have sufficient memory, entering a new computer name will return you to the Add Computer screen where the New Computer Name is displayed and a Resolution Mode field has appeared stating NEW. If there is insufficient memory available you will be prompted to delete any unwanted entries from the library of computer cards to make room for the new card. If you enter a name that already exists a confirmation message will appear stating - Duplicate computer card name - Press OK to Edit. Select OK to duplicate the name and enter the MODE PARAMETERS window or CANCEL to return to the Computer Name window in order to enter a different name.

The computer and mode names will be displayed along with the previously defined parameters. When all the changes have been made press the OK button to execute the changes. A confirmation box will appear stating- Computer/Graphics Card will be Updated. Press OK to proceed or CANCEL to ignore. This is your last chance to cancel the changes to the mode. DELETE Command It is possible to delete a single mode contained within a Computer Card or all the modes contained within a card effectively deleting the complete card. Deletion of a Computer Card takes place in the Add Computerscreen as the most likely reason for deleting a card is that there is insufficient memory available to add a new card. Only Computer Cards you have created are valid for deletion, factory supplied cards cannot be deleted. NEW is also an invalid option as it represents a card which has still to be created, therefore cannot be deleted. If you try to delete an invalid card a message box will appear advising you that the card you have selected cannot be deleted. Whether deleting all modes or a single mode from a Computer Card the first step is to select the card from the fly-out menu in the Add Computer screen using the remote control. Assuming you have selected a valid Computer Card selecting DELETE from the screen options will open the DELETE COMPUTER window. CÑ38 System Operation OPERATION LBV00056; Revision A - 23/08/99

- If a New computer signal is applied when the selected channel is configured for computer and the computer signal does not identify a mode which matches, the screen will display an image using default Size, Position, Number of Pixels, Pixel Phase and Aspect Ratio. These default parameters will be supplied from ROM. A message will also appear stating- New Mode will be lost if not saved or if Channel is changed. The display will then have to be adjusted manually to give an optimum image. These default parameters will be applied to the Revised Store. See Storing System Configurations. If SAVE is then pressed on the remote or “Save” is selected in the menu system and there is insufficient memory to store a new mode, a message box will be overlaid stating- Cannot create Computer Mode due to insufficient Memory. Need to delete an unwanted COMPUTER Entry from the library of Computer Cards. Go to ADD COMPUTER Dialogue in Menu. (New Mode will be lost if Channel is Changed.)

Configuring a Video Channel 1. Set Gamma in Image Mode to Preferred Value 2. In the Channel Set-up Menu select the correct input, aspect ratio, colour temperature and format (i.e. PAL, NTSC, SECAM, S-Video, Component RGB or Component Y Pr Pb). 3. Using either the Size & Position sub menu or the single press remote control buttons, adjust the size and position until the image fills the screen exactly. 4. Apply a Pluge Test Pattern (or a test signal or tape which has near blacks and near saturated whites). 5. Using the single press buttons on the remote control adjust the Brightness so that the -2% bar disappears but the +2% is still visible. If using a tape, adjust the Brightness up and then down until the darkest part of the tape stops getting any darker. 6. Adjust the Contrast upwards so that the white bar of the Pluge pattern or a saturated piece of tape is just saturating and then reduce again until this stops. 7. If using an NTSC source adjust the Hue to give correct colours. 8. Adjust Saturation to taste (50% is usually acceptable). Saturation will have no effect on RGB sources. 9. Adjust Sharpness to taste. Phase has no effect on video sources. CÑ42 System Operation OPERATION LBV00056; Revision A - 23/08/99 - -
- - - Configuring a Computer Channel 1. Set Gamma in Image Mode to Preferred Value 2. In the Channel Set-up Menu select Computer Source and Colour Temperature. 3. Apply intended computer input. 4. Select Size & Position. 5. The cursor should be over the correct rate mode, press ENTER. 6. Set Pixels to equal the number of pixels per line in the signal source. 7. Define the aspect ratio as 4 x 3. 8. Adjust the Horizontal and Vertical Size until beating patterns minimise or disappear (use an alternate pixel pattern from Paintbrush to emphasise errors). 9. Some Horizontal bars may remain, remove them by adjusting the Pixel Phase. No Vertical Size adjustment should be required for a Raw source. 10. Adjust the Position to centre the image on the DMD™ display. 11. Use Pluge as per the Video channel set-up (previous page) to set up the Brightness and Contrast. Computer outputs cannot have negative values and therefore computer pluge bars are +2% and +4% and should both be visible. An acceptable set-up pattern can be created using Paintbrush. Sharp, Hue and Saturation will have no effect on computer sources. CÑ43 System Operation OPERATION LBV00056; Revision A - 23/08/99
