To enable extended key code mode, enter 88999. This mode allows certain 
buttons to perform alternate functions; refer to X-400d/X-450d Remote Control 
Unit on page 12. (To switch from extended mode back to standard mode, enter 
any valid code other than 88999.)
Include leading zeros for codes with four or fewer digits; for example, enter 255 as 
00255. 
3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED 
flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.
For more information on using standard and extended remote control key codes, refer 
to Using Discrete IR Codes on page 122.

splay 3D Settings: The Display 3D Settings menu is not applicable to the 
X-400d/X-450d.
 Internal 3D Settings: Select Internal 3D Settings from the Display Device - Configure 
menu to adjust the following timing settings for the Dimension Digital Controller’s 
3D Sync output (see Figure 2-5 and Figure 3-26), to optimize performance of the 
glasses, emitter and projector, for realistic simulation and 3D images.. 
Sync Delay: This control adjusts the output 3D emitter delay to match the active 
glasses to the left/right frames of the projector.  Proper adjustment of this delay will 
eliminate crosstalk and odd colors caused by timing differences between the 
glasses and the projected image.

page 85) while adjusting these settings, check the Test Pattern Enable box. 
 24Hz 3D Mode: This control selects how 24Hz 3D content will be processed in an 
active 3D system.  Lower frame rates can lead to excessive flickering, creating a need 
for frame rate conversion (FRC) to 60Hz in each eye (120Hz total).  The FRC modes are 
as follows:
120Hz 6:4 (default) – Perform FRC using a 3:2 cadence for each eye (3 frames 
of A followed by 2 frames of B), resulting in 60Hz per eye, or 120Hz total.
120Hz 5:5 – Perform FRC using a 3:2 cadence for the left eye (3 frames of A 
followed by 2 frames of B) and a 2:3 cadence for the right eye (2 frames of A 
followed by 3 frames of B), resulting in 60Hz per eye, or 120Hz total.  This mode 
is intended to help reduce judder created in the FRC process.

 Remote Network Control: Select Remote Network Control from the Network menu 
to enable or disable control of the Dimension Digital Controller via an IP connection 
(typically using a web browser). Set it to On to allow all incoming remote network 
connectivity. Set it to Off to disable any incoming network communication that was not 
initiated by the Dimension Digital Controller. 
Color Space: Select Color Space from the Service menu to choose the color space of 
the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections.
 The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or 
range data, the Dimension Digital Controller uses that information. Otherwise, for 
RGB sources, the Dimension Digital Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. 
For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component 
video resolutions, REC709 is used.
RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the Dimension Digital Controller uses 
the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, 
and REC709 for all other sources.
Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the Dimension Digital Controller uses 
the REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, 
you can force the Dimension Digital Controller to use a specific color space. Choose one 
of the following:
REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 
255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.
RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined 
in digital component standards.
Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs. 
You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then 
activated by selecting that aspect ratio. This setting has no effect on the E-Mail Notification or Auto
