    4. Multi-Screen Projection
    ❶ Things that can be done using multi-screen projection
    This	projector	can	be	used	singly	or	arranged	in	multiple	units	for	multi-screen	projection.
    We	will	introduce	an	example	using	two	projection	screens	here.
    Case 1
    Using	a	single	projector	to	project	two	types	of	videos	at	the	same	time
    [PIP/PICTURE	BY	PICTURE]
    Case 2
    Using	four	projectors	(liquid	crystal	panel:	XGA)	to	project	video	with	a	resolution	of	1920	×	1080	pixels
    [TILING]

    2 Operate the on-screen menu using the four respective projectors to divide the image into four portions.
    	 Display	 [DISPLAY]	→	[MULTI	 SCREEN]	→	[PICTURE	 SETTING]	Screen	in	the	 on-screen	 menu	and	select	 [TIL-
    ING].
    (1)	In	 the	screen	 for	setting	 the	number	 of	horizontal	 units,	select	 [2	UNITS]. 	(number	 of	units	 in	the	 horizontal	 direc-
    tion)
    (2)	In	 the	screen	 for	setting	 the	number	 of	vertical	 units,	select	 [2	UNITS]. 	(number	 of	units	 in	the	 vertical	 direc-
    tion)
    (3)	In	the	screen	for	setting	the	horizontal	order,	select	[1st	UNIT]	or	[2nd	UNIT].
    	 (look	at	the	screens,	the	one	on	the	left	is	the	[1st	UNIT]	while	the	one	on	the	right	is	the	[2nd	UNIT])
    (4)	In	the	screen	for	setting	the	vertical	order,	select	the	[1st	UNIT]	or	the	[2nd	UNIT].
    	 (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]”.

    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.

     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)

    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)

    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

    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. 	(→	page	105)
    Setting the overlap of projection screens
    ① Enable [EDGE BLENDING].
    1 Press the “Edge Blend.” button.
    	 The	 [EDGE	 BLENDING]	 screen	will	be	displayed. 	Align	 the	cursor	 with	[MODE]	 and	then	 press	 the	ENTER	 button.	
    The	mode	screen	will	be	displayed.
    2	 Select	[MODE]	→	[ON]	and	press	the	ENTER	button.
    	 This	enables	the	Edge	Blending	function. 	The	following	menu	items	are	available:
    	 [TOP],	[BOTTOM],	[LEFT],	[RIGHT],	and	[BLACK	LEVEL]
    3	 Select	[RIGHT]	for	Projector	A	and	[LEFT]	for	Projector	B.
