Installation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 39 PREL IMINARY Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.

Installation 40 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Adjusting the Geometry: 1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector. 2. Loosen the three Lens Rotation Set Screws (shown in Figure 3-17) on the lens adapter ring just enough to allow it to rotate freely. 3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly anamorphic: 4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the three Lens Rotation Set Screws to secure the lens in place. (When viewed from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens should appear as a tall, narrow oval.) Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens to fine-tune the optical focus. Wrong Position Correct Position FOCUS

Operation 44 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Main MenuThe Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all projector functions. (The Service and ISF Calibration menus are hidden and not accessible until you enter a passcode.) Picture AdjustSelect Picture Adjust from the Main Menu to calibrate your Vision 70 for optimum picture quality. To adjust a setting, use the or button to highlight it and use the or button to change the setting. When finished, press EXIT. The Vision 70 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician. All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately.

Operation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 45 PREL IMINARY Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for best results: External test pattern source -- Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent. A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments. Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here. Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE pattern. Figure 4-2. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four shaded boxes. Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so that: The darkest black bars disappear into the background. The dark gray areas are barely visible. The lighter gray areas are clearly visible. The white areas are a comfortable level of true white. The image contains only black, gray and white (no color). Below Black Above Black
Operation 46 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size. Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. Note gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue
Operation Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual 47 PREL IMINARY Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue. Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue Note
Operation 48 Vidikron Vision 70 Series Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the Sharpness setting to eliminate them. Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness Color Temp.: The Vision 70 has six memory settings for Color Temperature. Four of these settings are factory set to default as follows: 0 -- Original lamp color temperature 1 -- 5400 kelvins 2 -- 6500 kelvins 3 -- 8500 kelvins 4 -- Custom 5 -- Custom Custom 4 and 5 memory are installer-adjustable and can be used to create custom settings. There are nine adjustable “white balance” parameters available for the Custom 4 and 5 settings (three each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this section; refer to Service on page 54. The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Video Filter (described on page 52) is set to 0. Note
