4.7 Communications 
Settings in the Communications submenu define and control how single or multiple projectors can link with 
each other and with a controlling device.
FIGURE 4-3 COMMUNICATIONS SUBMENU
4.7.1 Baud Rates
The baud rate setting determines the speed of communication to and from the projector on the RS-232 or RS-
422 links. Set the baud rate to match that of your controlling device, such as your PC. If you are unsure about 
what baud rate to choose, refer to the documentation for the controlling device. In a network of projectors, if a 
projector has a different baud rate use the pull-down list and select the correct baud rate using the 
 key. Do 
not just scroll this control with 
 or   keys. Serial communication is 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit.
4.7.2 Projector
Enter a three-digit number (such as “001”) to assign or change a number to the projector currently in use. If the 
current projector already has a number assigned, that number will appear instead. Numerical identity for 
projectors enables you to communicate with a single projector within a multiple-projector application (see also 
DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGES Choose how you want to be notified of errors detected in either the incoming 
signal or projector.
 Select “Screen” or “All” to see a brief on-screen message or 
select “RS-232” to receive messages via RS-232 (or RS-422) serial communica-
tion only. Select “Off” to hide error message displays.
SPLASH SCREEN SETUPChoose when you would like to display a special introductory splash screen 
image, such as your company logo, graphic or message.
• Always Off = A splash screen never appears
• Always On = A splash screen is always on behind the current display 
image, similar to wallpaper.
• Start-up Only – The splash screen logo appears at projector start-up 
only.
• Start-up And No Signal – A splash screen appears at start-up only if 
there is no source signal.
To replace the default splash screen use KoRE Librarian to download the desired 
image to the projector. This will overwrite the current splash screen content in 
projector memory.

SEPARATESelect “Separate” (factory default) to keep RS-232, RS-422 and Ethernet messages on 
their respective paths instead of being broadcast to the other types of ports. In Figure 4-
5 Using “Network Routing” Options A, RS-422 controls only the projector to which it 
is connected. In Figure 4-4 Network Routing Options B, either RS-232 or RS-422 will 
control the network.
RS-232 AND RS-422 JOINEDMessages originating from an RS-232 or RS-422 controller will be relayed to all RS-
232 ports. Ethernet communication will not be relayed.

4.7.4 Ethernet Settings (Submenu)
NOTE: Recommended for network administrators only.
DHCP
 Enable this checkbox if you want a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address that is valid and unique 
for use on the current Ethernet network. On networks without a DHCP server, or to override the automatic 
DHCP server function, delete the checkmark and enter the new “IP Address” settings desired.
FIGURE 4-6 ENABLING AUTOMATIC IP ADDRESS
IP Address
Enter a valid and unique IP address for use on the network to which the projector is currently connected. This 
address will overwrite a previous IP address, such as the projector’s factory-defined default (0.0.0.0), or one 
that is assigned by a DHCP server or other user. It takes approximately 10 seconds for the projector to respond 
at its new address.
Port
On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port number of the projector be changed 
from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new valid port number here. It is highly recommended not to use a port# 
below 1024, as these ports are typically reserved for and used by common network applications.
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is 
used, these must be assigned. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data 
outside the subnet. The address is provided by the system administrator.
 ArtNet Interface Settings — SUBMENU
ArtNet is an Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic Licence and using the DMX512 control 
protocol. It is used for controlling lighting and staging equipment from a lighting console or PC application..
ARTNET SUBNETThis is the highest level address for a device, typically set to 0
ARTNET UNIVERSEEach data packet is broadcasted to all devices plugged into a universe (maximum 512 
devices/channels).
ARTNET CHANNELAllows you to specify the starting channel for this projector. (512 channels per universe) 
ARTNET ADVANCED MODEWhen enabled, each projector listens for data on 64 channels starting with the base channel. 
When advanced mode is not in use, the projector only listens on 10 channels. You can squeeze 
more devices per universe when the projector uses fewer channels. NOTE: The additional 54 
functions are not implemented and are reserved for future use.

Section 4: Advanced Configuration and Controls
4.7.5 Broadcast Key
Enter a checkmark for keypad commands sent to any one projector to be relayed to all projectors in a serial 
network. The   key will temporarily “override” the effect of a broadcast setting and allow you to control a 
specific projector when necessary. Remove the Broadcast Key checkmark when operating redundant networks.
4.7.6 Front IR Protocol
This option cannot be disabled. Select “Any”, to enable the projector. Use this option to select a keypad or 
select a specific protocol for use with the keypad. There are up to 8 protocols that can be selected. This 
prevents a keypad from one projector interfering with another.
ARTNET BASE CHANNEL When advanced mode is enabled, the projector listens to data on 64 consecutive channels or 
10 consecutive channels when not enabled. The projector processes requests beginning with 
the ‘base channel’ defined here. The requests implement these functions:
DMX

4.7.7 Wired Keypad Protocol
Select “On” to enable use of a wired remote keypad connected to the rear of the projector. The projector will 
then respond to incoming commands from either port. To disable the wired keypad, use a different keypad (the 
built-in or an IR remote keypad) to select “off”. This safeguard prevents you from accidentally disabling the 
wired keypad during use.
4.8 Geometry and Color
In the Configuration menu, select the Geometry and Color submenu to modify overall color performance or 
image geometry for all sources.
4.8.1 Test Pattern
Choose the desired internal test pattern or select OFF to turn off a test pattern. Use the 
 key for cycling 
through test patterns.
4.8.2 Vertical Keystone
Corrects an image displaying keystone where both sides of the image are inclined toward the top or bottom 
edge. Keystone is typically caused by tilting the projector so that the lens surface and screen are not parallel to 
each other.

FIGURE 4-8 BRIGHTNESS UNIFORMITY SUBMENU
Provides refinement of displays already matched for their primary colors and overall light output. Use to create 
a smooth image in which no area appears brighter or more red, green or blue than another. 
Enable the “Uniformity Enable” checkbox to access a multitude of adjustments for critical color light output 
control in specific areas throughout the image. Your settings apply as long as the “Uniformity Enable” 
checkbox is enabled and you are using a “User” color temperature defined by the Brightness Uniformity 
controls. Remove the checkmark to disable the Brightness Uniformity function.
NOTE: See Section 4.13 Using Multiple Projectors for the complete step-by-step procedure for achieving 
uniform brightness in adjacent displays. 
4.8.4 Edge Blending — SUBMENU
Provides a range of controls for smoothing the overlapping bright edges of multiple adjacent projected images 
to create a single “seamless” image.

FIGURE 4-10 COLOR PERFORMANCE CHOICES
The projector can utilize any of the 3 pre-defined color performance settings identified in Figure 3.42 
(default=User 1), or colors can be driven on the basis of color temperature. For most applications, one of these 
options will produce accurate and realistic colors from a variety of sources. They can be applied at any time in 
the Advanced Image Settings menu (“Select Color Adjustment”), and are not adjustable.
Defining “User” Color Gamuts
You may find that none of the pre-defined “Select Color Adjustment” options suit your needs. For example, 
you may require a unique color gamut (range) for a single projector or to precisely match colors across 
multiple adjacent displays. 
Use either the Color Adjustments by X,Y or Color Saturation submenu to define the precise hue of each 
primary color component (red, green, blue, and white). You can create up to four custom color gamuts (User 1, 
2, 3, or 4) defined by these adjustments.
The 2 menus differ only in their user interface, use the one best suited to your needs and application:
•Color Adjustments by X,Y
 — Enter known x/y coordinates from the chromaticity graph. For best results, 
use with a color meter.
•Color Saturation
 — Adjust color slidebars and judge image color by eye. A color meter can also be used.
A user-defined color “adjustment” can be applied by selecting it in the Advanced Image Settings menu (“Select 
Color Adjustment”).
NOTE: Defining a “User” color gamut when a test pattern is displayed does not get saved in the current 
channel. Display the source first then select a color gamut (User) from Select Color Adjustment. Changes here 
are then saved for that source in channel memory.

Section 4: Advanced Configuration and Controls
Color Adjustment by X,Y
Use this submenu to alter, add or copy a color gamut (i.e., “color adjustment”). Controls in this menu define the 
precise hue of each primary color component (red, green, blue, and white) used to generate the millions of 
colors produced in displays. The x/y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE 
chromaticity graph (see Figure 4-12 CIE 1931 Chromaticity Diagram) Changing either or both of these 
numbers will change the hue of the color, and relocate the “triangle” for possible colors. 
For example, changing the x/y coordinates for red will either move the color closer to orange or closer to 
violet. This will in turn affect all displayed colors having a red component. Adjust the slidebars or enter new 
specific coordinates as desired to define or change up to four “User” color gamuts needed for your 
environment and applications. Apply the new User gamut at any time in the Advanced Image Settings menu. 
NOTE: If adjustment is made above or below the acceptable x,y coordinate limits for a color, Color Space 
Valid “Error” will appear the next time you enter the menu.
FIGURE 4-12 CIE 1931 CHROMATICITY DIAGRAM
NOTE: Keep new x,y coordinates within the original color gamut triangle shown here. See 4.13 Using Multiple 
Projectors, on page 4-20 for X,Y adjustments procedure.
COLOR SATURATION
Use this submenu if you do not have specific color coordinates in mind and will simply judge color 
performance by eye.

4.9 Diagnostics / Calibration 
FIGURE 4-14 DIAGNOSTICS AND CALIBRATION SUBMENU
4.9.1 Test Pattern
Choose the desired internal test pattern to display or select OFF to turn off a test pattern. Use the 
 key for 
cycling through test patterns.
4.9.2 Gray Level
Set the desired level of gray for displaying in the full gray field test pattern.
4.9.3 Freeze Image
Enter a check mark to stop an image on a single frame. Use this diagnostic tool to examine in detail a still 
version of an incoming image that cannot be “frozen” at the source. For example, in moving images it is 
sometimes difficult to observe artifacts such as external deinterlacing/resizing and signal noise. Remove the 
checkmark to return back to normal.

4.9.4 Color Enable
Select which color or colors you want to see. This is useful while working with color temperature, input levels 
or other special setup parameters. Colors can also be enabled or disabled by entering the corresponding 
function code listed on the back of the standard remote keypad.
4.9.5 Odd Pixel Adjustment
NOTE: Factory-set and rarely required by user. Source must be >110 MHz.
When using some RGB sources, you may need to adjust the normal gain or offset of odd pixels in relation to 
even pixels. This will smooth out very narrow (1-pixel wide) “checks” or vertical stripes that indicate adjacent 
“on” and “off” pixels. Although offset and gain slidebars can be adjusted individually and manually, using the 
Level Detector simplifies this process, see 4.9.6 Color Wheel Calibration — Submenu.
1. Use an external analog native-sized continuous grayscale test pattern with at least 256-levels. 
2. Turn “Level Detector” on.
3. Set “Level Value” to ~200. The image is now black-and-white (or black-and-one color, if you use “Color 
Enable” function).
4. Adjust offset for one color. As you adjust, you will see half of the pixels move, the other half will not.
5. Adjust until the two transition regions overlap. The stripe of noise will be minimized, defined by the value 
in the slidebar.
6. Continue to adjust offset for the other two colors.
7. Set “Level Value” to ~800. The image is now black-and-white.
8. Repeat Steps 4 and 5, but adjusting gain for each color. Adjust offset before gain, since offset affects gain.
9. Once all colors are adjusted, your RGB source is OK. Tweak adjustments as required.
NOTES: 
1) A value of 128 represents no change in normal odd pixel offset or gain. 
2) Odd Pixel Adjustment eliminates “1 pixel on, 1 pixel off” patterns only, not any type of larger patterns.
