RGSB - YSCRCBCOMPONENT VIDEO Fig. 20 This input is suitable for a RGB video signal, or for a Component (YCrCb) type, with composite synchronisation on the green signal (RGsB) or on the luminance (Y) signal (YsCrCb) through a cable with RCA/Phono type connector (Fig. 20). RGB or YCrCb signals can also have H+V Composite Sync. In this case connect the R, G, B (or Y, Cr, Cb) outputs of the source to the respective R/Cr, G/Y, B/Cb inputs of the projector (paying attention not to invert the positions) and the synchroni - sation signal to the HV input . When connecting the three sets of RCA connectors use the colours as a guide: connector R is red, G is green, B is blue and HV is white. By using a suitable SCART to RCA connector adapter cable, an RGB video signal from a source equipped with an SCART connector can be connected to this input. Component signals are connected to inputs Y, Cr and Cb, taking COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT CONTROL (RS 232) B/Cb HV 12 CVBS COMPOSITE VIDEO Fig. 17 This input is suitable for a “Composite Video CVBS” via a cable with an RCA/Phono connector (Fig. 17). S-VIDEO INPUT S-VIDEO CONTROL (RS 232) B/Cb HV 12 Fig. 18 This input is suitable for equipment fitted with a S-Video output to give improved picture performance (S-VIDEO/S-VHS) Con - nection is made via a 4-pin mini-DIN (Fig. 18). VGA INPUT Personal Computers, Video Processors (scalers) and Video Game consoles can be connected to the projector via the HDB 15-Pin (VGA) terminal. Ensure the output of equipment connected is RGB with one of the following synchronisation options: separate H/V Sync, H+V Composite Sync (Fig. 19) . This input accepts a Horizontal Scan

12 care to observe the correspondence with the outputs on the source. The video signals that can be connected to this input can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning video, high definition video). Some sources provide the facility to choose between a pro - gressive signal or an interlaced signal. Although in general a progressive signal is higher quality than an interlaced signal, it is often preferable to perform the deinterlacing operation on the projector rather than on the source because the projector is equipped with Faroudja’s sophisticated directional correlation deinterlacing technology (DCDi™). HDMI™ INPUT With this input it is possible to integrate the optimal quality of a digital image with a multichannel audio signal. The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) in fact in - tegrates a multichannel audio signal with the uncompressed high definition video signal. The interface also allows the exchange between the video source and the HT system of control data to optimise the quality of the projected image. The HDMI™ input allows connection to video sources that use the HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to protect their contents. This protocol is in fact incorporated in the definition of the HDMI™ technology. Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™ input, internal processing by the projector separates the video information from the audio information. This information is then made available via an optical digital output with a female TO - SLINK connector in accordance with the S/PDIF standard.

MOTORISED PROJECTION SCREEN OUTPUT ZOOM CONTROL (RS 232)GRAPHICS RGB12 4 Fig. 22 The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12 Vdc) for motorised projection screen and screen masking systems. The - se 12V outputs should be connected to the appropriate screen interface provided by the screen manufacturer (Fig. 22). The +12V output is activated when the projector is switched on (green LED on) and is de-activated when the projector is in stand-by mode (red LED on). The output can be used to control a screen masking system; its output can be set with the Screen control adjustment in the Aspect menu. This output allows reduction in the area of a 16:9 screen, into a 4:3 format, by activating a screen masking system (refer to screen manufacturer for further information). Fig. 21b

If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time remove the batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time; do not replace one new battery with a used battery. If the batteries have leaked, carefully wipe the case clean and replace with new batteries. The remote control sends commands to the projector via in - frared signals. It is possible to control the projector by pointing the remote control at the screen; the sensor at the front of the projector will pick up the reflected infrared commands. (Fig. 25).

As with the other inputs, you can now select the input just set SOURCE SELECTION The input selection menu (Inputs) is called by pressing 0 on the remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, using the · and ‚ keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll the list with the · and ‚ keys until the desired input is highlighted, then press ‡. Display of the input selection menu is terminated by pressing the ESC key, or when the time allowed for displaying the on- screen menu has lapsed (set in the Set-up Menu). Input 3 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15 kHz, 32 kHz or higher. The association between the input and the type of signal is made from the pull-down menu that appears on the right of the < symbol after pressing the fl key (Fig. 26b). In the pull-down menu it is also possible to choose the hori - zontal frequency or use the AutoSync feature;in this case the system detect the horizontal frequency signal (15KHz,32KHz or higher) automatically. by pressing the ‡ key. During the short time it takes to find the signal, a box appears showing the signal requested. As soon as the signal is shown in the box additional information is displayed concerning the video standard (for video signals) or resolution (for graphic signals), and format. Fom the SETUP menu it is possible to choose to visualize or not this information, for more details check the “SOURCE INFORMATION” in “MENU” section. Picture Contrast Color Tint Sharpness Filter Cinema Mode Video Type 50 50 50 32OffNormalAuto AutoVCR1VCR2Noise Reduction Brightness 60 The various menus only offer the relevant adjustments in ac- cordance with the type of input signal displayed (e.g. certain typical adjustments for video signals, not necessary for graphic signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa). Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST) are asso- ciated with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits using the keys fl / ‡. For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can choose among three options presented on the same fl / ‡). Fig. 27 MAIN MENU To access the main menu of the On Screen Display press the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU- key on the remote control. The main menu is divided into four windows, PICTURE, IMAGE, SETUP and MENU, in which the various adjustments are grouped according to the frequency of use. Use · and ‚ to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig. 27).

Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects. CONTRAST Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without af- fecting white areas.To ensure correct adjustment, it may prove useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale, within which the white level and the level immediately below it must be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of well-lit white objects surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level lighting. COLOR This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images will be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable referen - ces include skin tones and grass in landscape shots. TINT Controls the purity of the colours. Basically determines the red-green ratio of the picture. Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the pictu - re, increasing the value will boost the green tones. For this adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour bars as a reference. SHARPNESS Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of picture detail. When the sharpness value is reduced the image details appear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises image definition, making the outline of objects sharper. Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’ picture and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined. SHARPNESS MODE This allows you to select the type of processing associated with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or in - terlaced video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic signals use GRAPHIC MODE. FILTER This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition and makes the picture sharper. These submenus are accessed by pressing the fl key, while exit and return to the upper level occurs by pressing MENU+/-. Press ESC on the remote control or keypad to interrupt the menu display or wait for it to disappear automatically after the number of seconds set on the SETUP page. PICTURE This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality. Adjustments that are not available for a given input do not appear on the menu. Table 1 summarises the adjustments avai - lable for each input. For a complete overview of the on-screen menus, consult the ‘On screen menu layout’ in the “Additional Information” section. BRIGHTNESS Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail in darker parts of the picture.

If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated al- gorithm optimised for video camera signals. VIDEO TYPE Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video recorders. To toggle between NORMAL, VCR1 mode and VCR2 mode press on the remote control. NOISE REDUCTION This adjustments allows to choose the filter value for noise reduction purposes. As soon as this option is selected on the menu, the image is divided in two parts. In the left side the image is not altered by the filter, in the right part the filter is activated. This allows you to compare the effect of the filter. It is possible to deactivated the filter ( NOT ACTIVE), to use the automatic adjustments ( AUTO) or to manually select (MANUAL) the value suitable for the image with the VALUE adjustment. In case of using the VALUE adjustement, it is enoght to select to cursor below and set the value with the fl / ‡ keys of the remote control. Associated to the NOISE REDUCTION there is the possibility to use the specific function (FLESH TONE CORRECTION) to make skin tone more natural. Often the use of noise reduction filter slightly degrades the image in those areas where skin tones are visible. With the use of this function it is possible to maintain an excellent image quality throughout the entire projected image.

18 IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc. ASPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the relative source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key (1...8). The following aspects are available. NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture. ANAMORPHIC: allows a 16:9 picture to be displayed correctly. LETTERBOX: serves to display 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. PANORAMIC: this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly crop- ping the upper and lower parts. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the Display. PIXEL TO PIXEL: this aspect displays the image as it is input without adapting it to the screen. The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its ho - rizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands. USER 1, 2, 3: When none of the preset formulas are suitable, the User formulas are available, with the facility for continuous horizontal and vertical adjustment of picture size. SCREEN CONTROL For each aspect chosen, the SCREEN CONTROL command allows you to reframe the screen to a variety of aspect ratios and screen size, using an appropriate screen-masking interface connected to the 12 V output socket (please refer to the screen manufacture’s manual) COLOR TEMPERATURE The color temperature adjustment is made by positioning the white point inside CIE cromaticity diagram. The systems allows to choose from 36 predefined white points inside the neutral color area (Fig.29). ��� ��� ��� ��� �������� ��� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ��� ��� ������ ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ������ ���� ��� � ����� ��� ���� Fig. 29 The correlated color temperature varies along horizontal lines, low temperatures are present in the right side (where the red component is increased), in the left side of the diagram you can find high temperature values ( in which blue component is higher). The points along the lower horiziontal line (Fig.30) represent colors that belong to the black body curve. �� Fig. 30

19 Along vertical lines the color temperature is constant but is different from black body curve, which mean if you select point from the high part of the diagram you increase the green componet, while low part of diagram cause an increase of purple component. GAMMA CORRECTION Determines the system’s response to the grey scale, emphasi- sing or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image. There are availabel up to 12 degamma curves, using these curves it is possible choose the best curve for the signal and the image in use. OVERSCAN Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function it is possible to drop such imperfections outside the projected area. The overscan value can be included between 0 (no overscan) and 32 (maximum value). The image maintains in any case the aspect. POSITION Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and ho- rizontally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedure from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light co - loured background on the screen in the current picture. FREQUENCY/PHASE These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making up the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of position within the equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of shar - pness on the narrow vertical lines) it may help to prompt the system to repeat the input signal analysis and determination of the best parameters by calling the automatic adjustment procedure with the AUTO key on the remote control or on the keypad. If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter the frequency and phase values manually and approach the screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments. Y / C DELAY In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the source or connection cable has changed.
