Overscan: Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older\
 
television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture\
 area. Overscan 
effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. Choose one of the following:
•  Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.
•  Crop: This setting adds a mask all around edges of the source active image equal to  
  2.5%.
•  Zoom: This setting adds a factor to the scaling of the source active image so that the  
  vertical and horizontal resolutions are 105% of the size determined by the aspect ratio  
  function. Anything outside of the original image area is removed.
Input Select:  This function is same as the hotkey which on Remote controller. You can use 
Remote controller or this function to select the correct input source

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Advanced 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 H9090 uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sourc\
es, the    
  H9090 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 H9090 uses the RGB-PC color    
  space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 f\
or all  
  other sources.
•  Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the H9090 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 H9090 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.
•  RGB-Video  uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at    
 235,235,235.
Video Standard:  Select Video Standard from the Advanced menu to specify the color 
system for composite video or S-Video input signals.
Different countries use different formats for video signals. Select the appropriate Video 
Standard for your region:
• Auto: The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.
•  NTSC: (National Television Systems Committee): This is the standard format used  
H9090 Home Theater Projector - User Manual  
						

							33
 mainly in the United States and Japan.
•  PAL: (Phase Alternation by Line): This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and  
  many other parts of the world, typically with a 50Hz frame rate.
•  SECAM (Sequential Color With Memory): This is a standard format used mainly in  
  France and Russia.
•  NTSC: This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
Gamma:  Select Gamma from the Advanced menu to choose a DLP de-gamma curve. 
Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good details \
for 
blacks and whites.
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see 
details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast 
while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and 
unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
• CRT sets the gamma to 2.5. 
•  Film sets the gamma to 2.2. 
•  Video is similar to Film gamma but differs in dark areas of the image to correspond to   
  the function that video cameras use to create images. 
•  Bright sets the gamma to 2.0.
•  Graphics should only be used for computer presentations that require inc\
reased    
  brightness at the cost of grayscale accuracy. 
Color temperature:  Color temperature defines the “color of gray;” that is, adjusts the 75% 
white point to various color points.
To choose a color temperature setting, select Color Temperature from the Advanced menu. 
Then, press  ◄
 ►
 to select 5500K, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K. The default setting, 6500K, is 
appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer pic\
ture; lower ones impart 
a reddish hue to the image. 
Gamut:  Select Color Gamut from the Advanced menu to select a color gamut (range) that 
may be different from the default color gamut.
Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and secondary 
(yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions of co\
lors 
produced in displays. Changing either or both of these numbers changes t\
he hue of 
the color and relocates the “triangle” for possible colors. For ex\
ample, changing the x/y 
coordinates for red moves the color closer to either orange or violet, w\
hich in turn affects 
all displayed colors having a red component.
• Auto automatically chooses the appropriate color gamut:
 
◦ SMPTE C for NTSC, 480i and 480p sources.
 
◦ EBU for PAL, SECAM, 576i and 576p sources.
 
◦ REC709 for all other sources.
•  REC709 chooses the REC709 color gamut.
•  SMPTE-C to choose the SMPTE-C color gamut.
•  EBU to choose the EBU color gamut.
H9090 Home Theater Projector - User Manual

• NATIVE It displays the fully saturated LED color gamut and also enable HSG\
 feature  
  for custom color gamut settings.
Brilliant Color:  Enable (On) or disable (Off), which improves brightness in grays and 
secondary colors by allowing simultaneous display of multiple colors fro\
m the LED light 
sources.
Dynamic Contrast:  Enable (On) or disable (Off) the Dynamic Contrast algorithm in the 
optical engine. Dynamic Contrast uses a dynamic LED driver that modulate\
s light to the 
DMD based on the actual content of the video material. Select 4x, 8x, or\
 Max to achieve 
the level of dynamic black.
Note:  Vivitek recommends that you disable (off) before any image calibration \
is made.
Adaptive Contrast:  Adaptive Contrast enhancement expands the light and dark portions 
of an output image according to the mean luminance of the input image. 
RGB Adjust:  Also known as White Balance Adjust. This feature is to remove any trace 
of color from the white areas of the projected image and to achieve to t\
he desired white 
temperature, choose RGB Adjust from the Advanced menu and press ENTER. This 
displays the RGB Adjust sub-menu.
• Gain Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright are\
as of the    
  image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid\
 white  
  areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas cont\
ain traces of red,  
  green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
•  Offset Use the Offset controls in the RGB Adjust sub-menu to correct color      
  imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test    
  pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “windo\
w” pattern. If  
  the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
Note:  The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the O\
ffset 
controls shift the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness. Generally, higher 
Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher Offset settings reduce the image 
brightness. 
Fine Sync:  To fine-tune the position and other image attributes.
•  V Position: Select this function to adjust the vertical position of the image within the  
  designated image area, up to 25% up or down of the image height.
•  H Position: Select this function to adjust the horizontal position of the image within   
  the designated image area, up to 25% right or left of the image width.
•  Phase (for RGB or Component sources): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel  
  sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or    
  Component image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been optimized.
•  Note: Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below). If some shimmer from  
  a video or HDTV source persists, use the Noise Reduction controls to rem\
ove high- 
  frequency noise from the signal.
•  Tracking (for RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the   
  pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all 
H9090 Home Theater Projector - User Manual  
						

							35
pixels generated by a particular source are sampled. Steady flickering or several soft 
vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel t\
racking. Proper 
pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across \
the screen, that 
aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase can be optimized.
• Sync Level (for Component sources only): Select Sync Level to adjust the
 voltage 
  
  level of the H9090 Sync signal detection circuitry. Sync Level adjustment is
     
  occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below    
  black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present)    
  and causes the projector to tem¬porarily lose sync. If the Sync Level\
 from the source  
  is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the source at all. The
 range is   
  from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 240 mV and should    
  rarely require adjustment. 
HSG:  The adjustment of Hue, Saturation, and Gain for primary colors (Red, Gr\
een, and 
Blue) and secondary color (Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta) to define a custom color gamut, 
choose the “Native” from   Color Gamut setting. Then, choose HSG from the Advanced 
menu and press ENTER. This displays the HSG sub-menu.

Serial Communications
RS-232Connection and Port Configuration
To interface the H9090 with a home theater automation/control system or a\
 PC running 
terminal emulation software:
1. Connect it to your control system or PC. 
2.  Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, \
such as    
  HyperTerminal. 
3.  Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 38400 bps, no parity , 8   
  data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. 
4.  Type ky or op followed by a command from among those listed and press . For   
  example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type op aspect = 1.
Serial Command Syntax
Serial commands to the H9090 take the following form:
•  Commands are in ASCII format.
•  Spaces and tabs can be used to improve readability and are ignored by th\
e projector. 
•  All commands must end with a carriage return (ASCII hex 0D) to signify\
 that the    
  projector can now read and execute the command.
•  Commands are not case-sensitive.
The H9090 supports two types of commands: key commands and operation commands. 
Key commands mimic pressing a button on the remote control. Operation co\
mmands tell 
the projector exactly what to do.
All commands start with 2 letters:
ky for key commands.
op for operations commands.
Key Commands:  The syntax for key commands is simple
ky [CR]
Some key command examples:
ky menu [CR]  Bring up or cancel menu display.
The response from the projector for key commands will be the same comman\
d in 
UPPERCASE.
ky menu [CR]
