band represents the last band of the grayscale pattern, which should be 100% 
white (or the current color, if a certain color is enabled). Do not adjust too far. 
5) It may be advantageous to go back and check the black band—adjust the 
blacklevel slidebar if necessary. NOTE: Readjusting blacklevels at this point 
affects the gain; only re-adjust if absolutely necessary. Adjust until both bands 
are just optimized. 
6) Repeat Steps 2-5 with the other two...

downloaded to the projector (requires separate PC-based Arbitrary Gamma and 
KoRE Librarian
 software applications). If any special user curves have been 
installed, their names will appear in the Gamma Table pull-down list. 
Keep in mind that any Gamma Table choice sets the related Gamma value (shown in 
the Image Settings menu) to a 2.5 default, where it can be fine-tuned as desired. 
Different values (1-3) here indicate that the original gamma table has...

Simulation 3D — SUBMENU OF ADVANCED IMAGE SETTINGS 
Use the options in the Simulation 3D 
menu to make timing adjustments for 
realistic simulation environments. 
FRAME DELAY MONITOR — This 
slidebar monitors the latency between 
input and output. For best results, the 
bar width and value should remain 
fairly constant, indicating that timing 
of input and output frames is locked; 
the Frame Delay Monitor value should stay within 5-10 lines or so of the Frame...

processing for this source—if desired, override the default “Auto” setting by 
selecting the appropriate motion filter: 
1) AUTO: The projector will automatically use the correct motion filter according to 
the incoming signal. 
2) STILL: For static images with no motion, such as graphics from a CD. 
3) MOTION: For video images that did not originate from film, or for moving 
computer-generated images. 
4) FILM: For video images that originated from film. This...

Image Orientation 
Set the orientation of the image according to the orientation of your projector. If the 
setting is incorrect, projected images will be reversed and/or upside down. 
NOTE: This projector can be used in the Front orientation only, as it cannot be 
inverted or tilted beyond 15° in any direction during use. 
Auto Power-up 
Enter a checkmark to enable the projector to automatically power up after losing 
power due to a power failure or due to...

DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGES — Choose how you want to be notified of errors 
detected in either the incoming signal or projector.
 Select “Screen” or “All” (default) 
to see brief on-screen messages. This is particularly recommended during setup or 
testing of the projector. Or select “RS232” to receive messages via RS232 (or 
RS422) serial communication only. To hide...

Network Routing 
Not applicable for stand-alone projectors or simple networks with only one type of 
controller and linking. 
 
SEPARATE: Select “Separate” (factory default) to keep RS232, RS422 and Ethernet 
messages on their respective paths instead of being broadcast to other types of ports. 
This is useful when you have a network in which each projector is connected via both
 
its RS232 and RS422 serial ports (Figure 3.19
A)—at each projector, serial...

NOTES: 1) Not used for stand-alone projectors. 2) Recommended for network 
administrators only. 
DHCP: Enable this checkbox if you want a DHCP server to automatically change the 
projector’s default IP address (0.0.0.0) to one that is valid and unique for use on the 
current Ethernet network. On networks without a DHCP server, or to simply override 
the automatic DHCP server function, delete the checkmark and enter the new “IP...

Note that the front and rear IR sensors cannot respond to different protocols–
changing a protocol for either sensor to anything other than 
OFF changes the protocol 
for the other sensor too. For example, setting Front IR to 
E also changes the Back IR 
to 
E. If you want only one sensor to respond to a particular protocol, you must disable 
the other sensor by setting its protocol to 
OFF. 
To disable both IR sensors, you cannot use the IR remote keypad to...

Brightness Uniformity — SUBMENU 
Brightness Uniformity provides further refinement of displays already matched for 
their primary colors and overall light output. Use Brightness Uniformity to create an 
exceptionally smooth image in which no area appears brighter and/or more red, green 
or blue than another. In the Brightness Uniformity menu, enable the “Uniformity 
Enable” checkbox to access a multitude of adjustments for critical color light output 
control...
