[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]
The projector is equipped with a luminance sensor to measure brightness and color of the lamp, and corrects brightness and color of the 
projected image according to the changes in brightness and color of the lamp.
By using this function, in such a condition that multiple screens are displayed using multiple projectors, you can reduce changes in overall 
brightness and color of the multiple screens due to lamp degradation and suppress variation in brightness and color to preserve uniformity .

eight minutes after the lamp is turned on, and correction is performed so that the image brightness and color will be the same as the 
standard brightness and color at the time the brightness control are adjusted. Brightness and color of the lamp cannot be measured for eight 
minutes after the lamp has turned on because they are not steady .
 fIf the lamp has gone of
