(look at the screens, the one at the top is the [1st UNIT] while the one at the bottom is the [2nd UNIT]) 3 Adjust the lens shift of each projector to fine-tune the boundaries of the screen. For further fine-tuning, adjust using [DISPLAY] → [EDGE BLENDING] in the on-screen menu for each projector. For details, please refer to “4-3 Displaying a Picture Using [EDGE BLENDING]”. (→ page 56)
51 4. Multi-Screen Projection Things to note when installing projectors • Leave sufficient space on the left and right of the projector so that the air intake and discharge outlets of the projector are not obstructed. When the air intake and discharge outlet are obstructed, the temperature inside the projector will rise and this may result in a malfunction. • Please do not pile up the projectors directly on top of one another when installing them. When the projectors are piled up on top of one another, they may fall down, resulting in damage and failure. • Installation example when using two projectors The following installation is recommended when combining the installation of two projectors for multi-screen projec- tion. Please leave a space of at least 10 cm between the air intake/discharge outlet and the wall. [Installation example] Air intake opening Air discharge outlet Cabinet Cabinet Cabinet Air dis- charge Air intake Front Right side Back WARNING Please request the retail store for special installation services such as when mounting the projector to the ceiling. Never carry out the installation by yourself. The projector may fall down and result in injury. Please use a sturdy cabinet that can withstand the weight of the projector for the installation. Please do not pile up the projectors directly on top of one another. NOTE: • For the range of the projection distance, please refer to the Appendix “Throw distance and screen size”. (→ page 158)
52 4. Multi-Screen Projection ❷ Displaying Two Pictures at the Same Time The projector has a feature that allows you to view two different signals simultaneously. You have two modes: PIP mode and PICTURE BY PICTURE mode. The projection video in the first screen display is known as the main display while the projection video that is called out subsequently is known as the sub-display. Select the projection function under [DISPLAY] → [PIP/PICTURE BY PICTURE] → [MODE] in the on-screen menu (the default factory setting when shipped is PIP). (→ page 85) • A single screen is projected when power is turned on. Picture in Picture function A small sub-display is displayed inside the main display. The sub-display can be set up and adjusted as follows. (→ page 86) • Select whether to display the sub-display at the top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left of the screen (the size of the sub-display can be selected and the position can be fine-tuned) • Switch the main display with the sub-display Main Display Sub- Display Picture by picture function Display the main display and sub-display side by side. The main display and sub-display can be set up and adjusted as follows. (→ page 86) • Selecting the display boundary (ratio) of the main display and sub-display • Switch the main display and sub-display Main Display Sub-Display Input terminals that can be used for the main screen and sub-screen. The main screen and sub-screen can provide the following input terminals. • The main display and sub-display support computer signals up to WUXGA@60HzRB.

56 4. Multi-Screen Projection ❸ Displaying a Picture Using [EDGE BLENDING] A high resolution video can be projected on an even bigger screen by combining multiple projectors on the left, right, top and bottom. This projector is equipped with an “EDGE BLENDING Function” that makes the edges (boundaries) of the projection screen indistinguishable. NOTE: • For projector throw distances, refer to “Throw distance and screen size” on page 158. • Before performing the Edge Blending function, place the projector in the correct position so that the image becomes square in the appropriate size, and then make optical adjustments (lens shift, fo\ cus, and zoom). • Adjust the brightness of each projector using [LAMP ADJUST] under [LAMP MODE]. In addition, use [REF. WHITE BALANCE] to adjust the [CONTRAST], [BRIGHTNESS] and [UNIFORMITY]. Before explaining use of the Edge Blending function This section explains the case for “Example: Placing two projectors side by side”. As shown, the projected image on the left is referred to as “Projector A” and the projected image on the right is referred to “Projector B”. Unless otherwise specified hereinafter, the “projector” is used to mean both A and B. Example: Placing two projectors side by side Edge Blending area Projected area Projected area Projector A Projector B
57 4. Multi-Screen Projection Preparation: • Turn on the projector and display a signal. • When performing settings or adjustments using the remote control, enable the [CONTROL ID] so as not to activate the other projectors.
