aUTo InPUT  leVel – Temporarily enter a checkmark  only if you are an experienced user and 
you  have  an  unusual  source  that  you  feel  needs  further  color  temperature  and/or  input  level 
adjustment. This compensates for incoming out-of-range drives (white) and black levels (black) 
that  would  cause  “crushing”  of  light  and  dark  colors  in  the  image. After  entering  a  checkmark, 
wait for the six slide bar values to stabilize, then delete the checkmark and exit. The Auto Input...

noTes: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color temperature used.  2) 
Assuming  that  color  temperature  has  been  set  up  based  on  the  internal  test  patterns,  you  can 
then set up input levels for a given source so that it matches the color temperature of the internal 
test patterns.
PeaK DeTeCT oR – The	Peak	 Detector	 is	a	tool	 to	assist	 with	defining	 individual	 input	levels,	
enabling  you  to  accurately  set  the  Input  Levels  for  any  particular...

Use  the Advanced  Image  Settings 
submenu  to  make  the  adjustments 
necessary  for  lesser-used  but  more 
specialized  applications  on  your 
projector.
gaMMa Table  — This control applies a 
default  video, graphics  or simple  gamma 
table or “curve” to your images, controlling 
the  intensity  of  mid-level  colors  and 
producing maximum contrast, brightness 
and  color  performance.  As  shown  at  right,  the  graphics  curve 
is	 a	modified	 power...

ColoR  TeMPeRaTURe —	Adjust	 to	apply	 a	specific	 and	accurate	 color	temperature	 to	all	
displays. Color temperatures are expressed in degrees Kelvin (3200-9300K), and utilize different 
combinations  of  the  projector’s  original  native  color  primaries  to  produce  a  “coloration”  or  cast 
(reddish	 or	bluish)	 in	images—the	 lower	the	temperature,	 the	more	 reddish	 the	cast;	 the	higher	
the  temperature,  the  more  bluish  the  cast.  Note  that  the  slide  bar  is  enabled  only...

MoTIon  fIlTeR  —  This  control  is  most  useful  for  smoothing  out  moving 
images  from  interlaced  sources.  In  most  cases  the  proper  Motion  Filter  setting 
is  automatically  determined  according  to  the  type  of  incoming  source  signal. 
However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may wish to “force” a setting 
to  ensure  stable  processing  for  this  source—if  desired,  override  the  default 
“Auto”	setting	by...

overall  performance.  In  addition, 
the  Display  Setup  menu  provides 
access  to  diagnostics,  calibration 
tools  and  the  Service  submenu 
(password-protected).
Keep in mind that settings in the  Display Setup menu (and its submenus) are typically “global”

baUD Ra Tes
The baud rate setting determines the speed of communication to and from the projector on the 
RS232	 or	RS422	 links.	The	maximum	 rate	for	the	 RS232	 is	115200;	 for	RS422	 it	is	 19200.	 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...
