⓬ Projecting an Image from an Angle (Geometric Correction 
Tool in Image Express Utility Lite)
 
The	Geometric	 Correction	Tool	(GCT)	 function	 allows	you	to	correct	 distortion	 of	images	 projected	 even	from	an	
angle. 	
What you can do with GCT
•	 The	GCT	feature	includes	the	following	three	functions
•	4-point	 Correction:	You 	can 	fit 	a 	projected 	image 	within 	the 	border 	of 	the 	screen 	easily 	by 	align 	the 	four 	corners	
of	an	image	to	the	ones	of	the	screen.
•	Multi-point	 Correction:	You	 can	correct	 a	distorted	 image	on	the	 corner	 of	a	wall	 or	irregular	 shaped	screen	
by	using	many	separated	screens	to	correct	the	image	as	well	as	4-point	Correction.
•	Parameters Correction:	You	 can	correct	 a	distorted	 image	by	using	 a	combination	 of	transformational	 rules	
prepared	in	advance.
This	section	will	show	an	example	for	use	with	4-point	Correction.
For	information	 about	“Multi-point	 Correction”	and	 “Parameters	 Correction”,	see	the	help	 file	of	Image	 Express	
Utility	Lite. 	(→	page	60)	
•	 Your	correction	data	can	be	stored	in	the	projector	or	your	computer	which	can	be	restored	when	necessary.
•	 The	GCT	function	is	available	with	a	USB	cable,	wired	or	wireless	LAN	connection,	and	video	cable. 	
Projecting an Image from an Angle (GCT)
This	section	 will	show	 an	example	 for	use	 with	 USB	 Display	 (using	a	USB	 cable	 to	connect	 a	computer	 and	the	pro-
jector).
•	 The	USB	Display	function	will	automatically	display	the	control	window	
•	 For	 a	video	 cable	or	LAN	 connection,	 install	and	start	 Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	in	your	 computer	 beforehand. 	(→ 
page	58)
Preparation: 	Adjust	the	projector	position	or	the	zoom	so	that	the	projected	image	can	cover	the	whole	screen	area.
1.	 Click	the	 “		”	(Picture)	icon	and	then	the	 “		”	button.
	 The	 “4-point	Correction” 	window	will	be	displayed.
2.	 Click	the	“Start	Correction” 	button	and	then	“Start	4-point	Correction” 	button.
 A green frame and a mouse pointer (  ) will be displayed.
•	 Four	[	•	]	marks	will	be	appeared	at	four	corners	of	the	green	frame

3.	 Use	the	mouse	to	click	the	[	•	]	mark	of	which	corner	you	wish	to	move.
 The currently selected [ •	]	mark	will	turn	red.
(In	the	above	example,	 Windows	screens	are	omitted	for	clarification.)
4.	 Drag	the	selected	[	•	]	mark	to	the	point	you	wish	to	correct	and	drop	it.
•	 When	you	click	 somewhere	 within	the	project	 image	area,	the	nearest	 [	•	]	 mark	 will	go	to	the	 position	 where	
the mouse cursor is.
5.	 Repeat	Step	3	and	4	to	correct	the	distortion	of	the	projected	image.
6.	 After	completing, 	right-click	the	mouse.
 The green frame and the mouse pointer will disappear from the projected image area. This will complete the cor-
rection.
7.	 Click	the	 “X”	(close)	button	on	the	 “4-point	Correction”	window.
	 The	“4-point	Correction” 	window	will	disappear	and	the	4-point	correction	will	take	effect.
8.	 Click	the	“		”	button	on	the	control	window	to	exit	the	GCT.
TIP:
•	 After	 performing	 the	4-point	 correction,	 you	can	save	 the	4-point	 correction	 data	to	the	 projector	 by	clicking	 “File”	→	“Export	 to	
the	projector…”	on	the	“4-point	Correction”	window.
•	 See	the	Help	 of	Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	for	operating	 “4-point	Correction”	 window	and	other	 functions	 than	GCT.	 (→	page

⓭ Viewing 3D Images
The	projector	provides	3D	images	to	a	user	wearing	commercially	available	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses.
 CAUTION
Health precautions
Before	viewing, 	be 	sure 	to 	read 	health 	care 	precautions 	that 	may 	be 	found 	in 	the 	user’s 	manual 	included 	with 	your 	LCD	
shutter	eyeglasses	or	your	3D	compatible	content	such	as	DVDs,	video	games,	computer’s	video	files	and	the	like.
To	avoid	any	adverse	symptoms,	heed	the	following:
•	 Do	not	use	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	for	viewing	any	material	other	than	3D	images.
•	 Allow	 a	distance	 of	2	m/7	 feet	or	greater	 between	 the	screen	 and	a	user. 	Viewing	 3D	images	 from	too	close	 a	
distance	can	strain	your	eyes.
•	 Avoid	 viewing	3D	images	 for	a	prolonged	 period	of	time. 	Take	 a	break	 of	15	 minutes	 or	longer	 after	every	 hour	
of	viewing.
•	 If	you	or	any	 member	 of	your	 family	 has	a	history	 of	light-sensitive	 seizures,	consult	a	doctor	 before	 viewing	 3D	
images.
•	 While	 viewing	3D	images,	 if	you	 get	sick	 such	 as	nausea,	 dizziness,	 queasiness,	 headache,	eyestrain,	blurry	
vision,	convulsions,	and	numbness,	stop	viewing	them. 	If	symptoms	still	persist,	consult	a	doctor.	
•	 View	3D	images	from	the	front	of	the	screen.	Viewing	from	an	angle	may	cause	fatigue	or	eyestrain.	
LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	(recommended)
•	 Use	commercially	available	DLP®	Link	or	other	method	compatible	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses.
Steps	for	viewing	3D	images	on	the	projector

To	view	3D	images,	see	page	67.
Select	[COMPUTER],	[HDMI1],	[HDMI2],	or	[VIDEO].
NOTE:
•	 The	maximum	distance	for	viewing	3D	images	is	10	m/394	inches	from	the	screen	surface	under	the	following	restrictions:
-	 Brightness	on	the	projector:	2000	lumens	or	greater
-	 Screen	gain:	1
-	 Viewing	position:	Facing	straight	towards	the	screen	center
-	 Outside	light:	None
-	 LCD	shutter	eyeglasses:	DLP®	Link	compatible	3D	eyeglasses
•	 If	3D	content	 is	played	 back	on	your	 computer	 and	the	performance	 is	poor	 it	may	 be	caused	 by	the	 CPU	 or	graphics	 chip.	In	this	
case	 you	may	 have	 difficulty	 seeing	the	3D	images	 as	they	 were	 intended.	 Check	to	see	 if	your	 computer	 meets	the	requirements	
provided	in	your	user’s	manual	included	with	your	3D	content.
•	 The	 DLP®	Link	 compatible	 LCD	shutter	 eyeglasses	 allow	you	to	view	 3D	images	 by	receiving	 synch	signals,	 which	are	included	
in	left	 eye	 and	 right	 eye	images,	 reflected	 from	the	screen.	 Depending	 on	environments	 or	conditions	 such	as	the	 ambient	 bright-
ness,	screen	size	or	viewing	distance,	the	LCD	shutter	eyeglasses	may	fail	to	receive	synch	signals,	causing	poor	3D	images.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	the	Keystone	correction	range	will	be	narrower.
•	 When	the	3D	mode	is	enabled,	the	following	settings	are	invalid.
	 [WALL	COLOR],	[PRESET],	[REFERENCE],	[COLOR	TEMPERATURE]
•	 Refer	to	the	[SOURCE]	screen	under	the	[INFO.]	menu	for	information	on	whether	the	input	signal	is	3D	compatible.
•	 Signals	other	than	those	listed	in	“Compatible	Input	Signal	List”	on	page	143	will	be	out	of	range	or	will	be	displayed	in	2D.
Using a 3D emitter
This	projector	 can	be	used	 to	watch	 videos	 in	3D	 using	 commercially-available	 active	shutter-type	 3D	eyewear. 	In	
order	 to	synchronize	 the	3D	video	 and	eyewear,	 a	commercially-available	 3D	emitter	 needs	to	be	 connected	 to	the	
projector	(on	the	projector	side).
The	3D	eyewear	receives	information	from	the	3D	emitter	and	performs	opening	and	closing	on	the	left	and	right. 	
3D	eyewear	and	3D	emitter	preparations
Please	use	an	active	shutter-type	3D	eyewear	that	conforms	with	the	VESA	standard.
A	commercially-available	RF	type	made	by	Xpand	is	recommended.
3D eyewear ������������Xpand X105-RF-X2
3D emitter
  ��������������Xpand AD025-RF-X1
Connect	your	3D	emitter	to	the	3D	SYNC	connector	of	the	projector.
NOTE:
•	 Use	an	active	shutter	3D	eyewear	(compliance	with	VESA)
•	 Check	the	operating	conditions	described	in	the	user	manual	of	the	Blu-ray	player.
•	 Please	connect	the	DIN	terminal	of	the	3D	emitter	to	the	3D	SYNC	of	the	projector.
•	 The	 3D	eyewear	 allows	videos	 to	be	 viewed	 in	3D	 by	receiving	 synchronized	 optical	signals	 output	from	the	3D	emitter.	 As	a	result,	
the	 3D	image	 quality	 may	be	affected	 by	conditions	 such	as	the	 brightness	 of	the	 surroundings,	 screen	size,	viewing	 distance,	
etc.
•	 When	 playing	a	3D	 video	 software	 on	a	computer,	 the	3D	image	 quality	 may	be	affected	 if	the	 computer	 CPU	and	graphics	 chip	
performance	 are	low.	 Please	 check	the	required	 operating	 environment	 of	the	 computer	 that	is	stated	 in	the	 operating	 manual	
attached	to	the	3D	video	software.
