Chapter 4 Settings — [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu ENGLISH - 99 [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] The projector is equipped with a brightness sensor to measure brightness and color of the light source, and corrects brightness and white balance of the projected image according to the changes in brightness and color of the light source. By using this function while structuring the multi-display by combining the projected images from multiple projectors, the change in the brightness and white balance for the whole multi-display can be reduced or hold down the difference of the brightness and white balance to maintain uniformity, caused by the aging of the light source. Setting [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] Adjust the brightness when displaying multiple images using multiple projectors. 1) Press as to select [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]. 2) Press the button. fThe [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] screen is displayed. 3) Press as to select [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN]. 4) Press qw to adjust. Operation Adjustment Range of adjustment Brightness Runtime (estimate) Press w. The screen becomes brighter. Maximum correction will decrease. 20 % - 100 % Press q. The screen becomes darker. Maximum correction will increase. Note f When using only one projector , the value obtained by subtracting the value of the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] from 100 % is the maximum amount of brightness correction. Brightness cannot be corrected through brightness control since the maximum amount of correction becomes 0 % when [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] is at 100 %. fThe luminance will not stabilize for eight minutes after turning on the light source. Perform the adjustment after at least eight minutes have elapsed after starting the projection. fThe adjustment result of [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] is reflected in all of the video signal, internal test patterns, and on-screen menu. fThe [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] setting is valid even when [CONSTANT MODE] in [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] is set to [OFF]. Setting [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] Set the operation of the brightness control function. 1) Press as to select [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]. 2) Press the button. fThe [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] screen is displayed. 3) Press as to select [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP]. 4) Press the button. fThe [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] screen is displayed. 5) Press as to select [CONSTANT MODE]. 6) Press qw to switch the item. fThe items will switch each time you press the button. [OFF] Does not correct the brightness of the screen by the brightness sensor . [AUTO] Corrects the brightness of the screen by the brightness sensor. When the brightness of light source or white balance changes, the brightness of the projected image is automatically corrected. [PC] Synchronizes nine or more projectors using a computer and the dedicated software “Multi Monitoring & Control Software” *1. *1 “Multi Monitoring & Control Software” is included in the supplied CD-ROM. f When [PC] is selected, proceed to Step 9).
Chapter 4 Settings — [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu 100 - ENGLISH 7) Press as to select [LINK]. 8) Press qw to switch the item. fThe items will switch each time you press the button. [OFF] Performs corrections by the brightness sensor on a single projector without synchronizing with the other projectors. The duration that the constant brightness is kept will become longer by setting the value of [LIGHT OUTPUT] smaller. [GROUP A] [GROUP B] [GROUP C] [GROUP D] Performs correction by the brightness sensor in multiple projectors in synchronization. Up to four groups (A to D) can be set within the same subnet by using the network function. You can register and synchronize up to eight projectors in one group. 9) Press as to select [CALIBRATION TIME]. 10) Press the button. fThe projector is in the adjustment mode (the time is blinking). 1 1) Press qw to select “hour” or “minute”, and press as or the number ( - ) buttons to set a time. f Selecting “hour” allows setting of only the hour in increments of one hour , and selecting “minute” allows setting of only the minute in increments of one minute between 00 and 59. f When the time is not specified, select [OFF] between 23 and 00 of the hour , or between 59 and 00 of the minute. 12) Press the button. f[CALIBRA TION TIME] is set. fBrightness and color are measured at the specified time. The dynamic contrast function does not operate during measurement. 13) Press as to select [CALIBRATION MESSAGE]. 14) Press qw to switch the item. fThe items will switch each time you press the button. [ON] Displays messages during calibration. [OFF] Does not display messages during calibration. 15) Press as to select [APPLY]. 16) Press the button. fIf the button is pressed with [CONST ANT MODE] set to anything other than [OFF], the brightness and white balance of light source at the time when the button is pressed is recorded as the standard brightness and white balance. f If the button is pressed when [LINK] is set from [GROUP A] to [GROUP D], the group name is displayed on the screens of projectors that have been set in the same group. LINK GROUP A Note fWhen [CONST ANT MODE] is set to [AUTO] or [PC], keep the shutter function disabled (shutter: open) for at least 30 seconds to perform the brightness sensor calibration after the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] setting has been completed. f If the projector is operating with [CONST ANT MODE] set to [AUTO] or [PC], brightness and color cannot be measured when the shutter function is enabled (shutter: closed) within approximately eight minutes after the light source is turned on. Therefore, brightness may be corrected after approximately 30 seconds have elapsed after the shutter function is disabled (shutter: open). f If the projector is operating with [CONST ANT MODE] set to [AUTO] or [PC], the brightness and color of the light source do not stabilize for approximately eight minutes after the light source is turned on. Therefore, the brightness and color of the light source will be automatically measured after approximately eight minutes have elapsed after the light source is turned on. A correction is made based on this measurement result so that the brightness and color for the image will be the same as the standard brightness and color when adjusted with the brightness control. f If the projector is operating with [CONST ANT MODE] set to [AUTO] or [PC], the items of [OPERATING MODE] and [LIGHT OUTPUT] cannot be changed. f The variation in brightness may increase due to dust accumulating on the lens, screen, or inside the projector , depending on the installation environment of the projector .
