Edge Blend procedure (continued)
9. Set up segmentation (optional).
If you are feeding the same source into all the projectors and aim to ha\
ve each projector reproduce a segment of the source, you can use 
the Edge Blend > Segmentation function, or you can use an external processor to control the segments.\
To use the Segmentation function:
1. On each projector, set Edge Blend > Segmentation to On.
2. Test with the source. If necessary, enter further corrections as described in steps 6, 7 and 8 above.
Bear in mind that using the Segmentation function brings a loss of resol\
ution, as shown below:
1 Whole image
This is a 1080p image and contains 2,073,600 pixels.
2 Top left segment in a 2x2 array
This segment contains 518,400 pixels, a quarter of the original image.
3 The segment projected with a 1080p DMD
The segment zoomed in to fill a 1080p DMD. The pixels are larger but not greater in number.

PIP menu
Two images can be combined, in three different ways using this feature. The PIP menu is available 
only when Setup > System > Configuration is set to PIP.
Option
• Select PIP, PA P, or POP mode from the drop-down list.
Input
• Select an Input for the sub-image from the drop-down list. The inputs are divided into two groups 
– the main image must be from one group, and the sub-image must be fr\
om the other group.
• Group A: COMPOSITE 1, COMPOSITE 2, S-VIDEO and 3G-SDI
• Group B: COMPONENT, VGA, DVI, HDMI and DVI-A
The inputs from the same group as the main input signal will appear disa\
bled in the list.
Size
• Select a size for the sub-image from the drop-down list.
Position
• Select one of the preset positions for the sub-image from the drop-down \
list.
Custom Position
• If you have chosen Custom from the Position drop-down list, then you can use the sliders to 
position the image manually.

• Use the Frame Rate Multiplier to reduce flicker when the incoming 3D video signal has a low 
frame rate.
For example, a 48 Hz frame rate could be tripled to 144 Hz.
• 3D Type should be set to Auto, except when the projector has problems selecting between 
Sequential, Frame Packing, Top and Bottom and Side by Side (Half).
• Set the Dark Time to reduce the ghosting that can be caused by the images overlapping whi\

• Set the Sync Offset to compensate for signal processing delays in the projector.
• Set the Output Sync Polarity to suit the glasses, or if the left and right images appear to be 
swapped.
• Set Source Dominance to Left or Right to suit the incoming 3D video signal.

 When using frame rate

 Set the Dark Time to the value

  Adjust the Sync Offset to eliminate

3D types
In most situations you can use the Auto setting to have the projector automatically detect the format. Otherwis\
e, consider the notes below to 
help you set up the 3D input manually.
The following 3D formats are supported:
• Sequential 
Main will accept frame rates up to 120 Hz. Lower frame rates can be multipli\
ed for display. An example would be 60Hz (30 frames per 
eye in Left-Right sequence (L1, R1, L2, R2…) with Frame Rate Multiplier set to 2x, resulting in a displayed sequence at 120 Hz (L1, 
R1, L1, R1, L2, R2, L2, R2…). 
Frame Rate Multiplier should never be set to result in a displayed frame rate above 144 Hz - \
doing so will result in an image error. 
For sequential 3D, an external sync is required to identify left and rig\
ht frames. If no sync is available from the sequential source, the 
projector will generate an output sync, but it may then be necessary to \
manually reset the dominance each time the player is started.
• Dual Pipe (LEFT and RIGHT) 
The left and right eye images are delivered on two separate DVI links, w\
hich the projector will interleave for 3D display.

3D types (continued)
• Frame Packing 
This format will be detected, re-synchronized, frame-multiplied and disp\
layed at 144 Hz with the left eye 
/ right eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data. You need to optimize Dark Time and 
Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching glasses. You also need to set an appropriate frame 
rate multiplication: for Frame Packing, we recommend 3x.)
• Top-and-Bottom 
Sets the projector to reformat the video frames and map them to the disp\
lay with the left eye / right 
eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data. You need to optimize Dark Time and 
Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching glasses. You also need to set an appropriate frame 
multiplication: for a 60Hz Top-and-Bottom source Frame Rate Multiplier should be set to 1x because 
the two halves of the image will automatically be extracted to create a \
displayed rate of twice the input 
rate.
• Side-by-Side (Half): interlaced and progressive, 50 and 60Hz 
The side-by-side image will be de-interlaced (if appropriate), resized\
 and then sequentially displayed at 
100 or 120 Hz.  The left eye / right eye dominance will be automatically extracted from \
the video data, 
however you will need to optimize Dark Time and Sync Offset manually to suit your chosen switching 
glasses. 
When 3D is disabled, 1080i will be treated conventionally. For a 60Hz Top-and-Bottom source 
Frame Rate Multiplier should be set to 1x because the two halves of the image will automatically be 
extracted to create a displayed rate of twice the input rate.
Dark Time and Sync Offset need to be set only once, to optimize the image for the glasses in use.\

Some 3D settings explained
Dark Time
Ghosting can be caused by the left and right images 
overlapping during the time that the ZScreen or 3D 
glasses are switching. Dark Time allows you to 
minimize this effect.
Source Dominance
The outgoing 3D frames are in pairs - the dominant 
frame being presented first. You can determine which 
frame should be the dominant one.
By convention the default setting is Left.
Sync Offset
The sync signal from the 3D server will be in phase with 
the frames generated by its graphics card. However, 
to compensate for processing delays in the projector, 
Sync Offset introduces a delay to the sync output 
signal sent to the ZScreen or 3D glasses.

Notes
  In order to achieve maximum light 
output and a smooth grayscale, 
whilst eliminating ghosting, 
the following procedure is 
recommended:
1.  Set Dark Time to a value 
appropriate to the glasses or 
ZScreen, say 650 µS or 1300 µS.
2.  Adjust Sync Offset time to eliminate 
ghosting and achieve a smooth 
grayscale.
3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the best 
result is obtained.

Frame Rate Multiplier
If the 3D video is available only at low frame rates, it will be 
necessary to multiply the frame rate to obtain a flicker-free 
image. For example, a 60Hz frame rate can be doubled to 120 
Hz, or a 48 Hz frame rate could be tripled to 144 Hz.
When displaying HDMI 3D video mode, the frame rate 
multiplication should be set to x1. The projector will 
automatically perform the correct frame rate multiplication 
depending on the output frequency.

Lamps menu
Set Operation to choose between Lamp 1 + Lamp 2, Lamp 1, Lamp 2 and Auto 1. In the Auto 1 
mode, the lamp usage will be spread evenly over the two lamps, over time\
.
Set the slider to vary the Power between 85% and 100%.
If you have rented the projector from a dealer, the projector may have been shipped with one 
lamp deactivated to lower the rental cost. You can reactivate the lamp (at extra cost) using the 
Feature Control setting in the Setup > System menu.

 Running the lamps at a lower power

• Orientation
Depending on how the projector is mounted, select the appropriate settin\
g from the drop-down 
list.
• Latency
Affects interlaced sources only. For fastest response, the Lowest setting gives minimum frame 
delay. For improved performance with films involving motion sequences, the Best Video setting 
uses adaptive de-interlacing and interpolation, but takes longer to proc\
ess.
Reset Default Settings
When you press OK to restore the factory default settings, a warning message appears, asking you to confirm or cancel.
Once the process has begun, wait one minute and then power cycle the pro\
jector so the restored settings can take effect.
