Optimizing video images
After your video device is connected properly and the image is on the 
screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general 
information on using the menus (
on page 31).
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Basic 
Picture menu (
on page 32).
• Change the Aspect Ratio. Choose the option that best fits your input 
source (
on page 32).
• Select a Sharpness setting (on page 32).
• Adjust the Color Temperature. Select a listed warmth value (on 
page 33).
• Turn on Overscan to remove noise on the edges of the image (on 
page 33).
NOTE: To achieve maximum contrast, you can disable LiteBoard Wand use. 
To do this, set Enabled to No in the LiteBoard Wand submenu in the Setup 
menu (
on page 15).
Customizing the projector
You can customize the projector for your specific setup and needs (on 
page 34 and on page 35).
• For rear projection, turn Rear Project on in the Setup menu.
• For ceiling mounted projection, turn Ceiling Mount on in the Setup 
menu.
• Specify which source the projector checks first for active video during 
power-up.

Dynamic Messaging
Using command codes, text messages can be sent for display by the 
projector over a network or serial connection. Text is shown on top of 
whatever else is being displayed, and can be shown in ticker tape format or 
in a box, with optional beep tone alert. This is a great way to display urgent 
alert messages to employees, and simply requires a connection to the 
projectors RS-232 serial control or LAN connector. Command codes for 
executing Dynamic Messaging are available on our website at 
www.infocus.com/support.
