For example, press Func in the Channel Setup menu to enable deletion or copying of a channel. seTUP fUnCTIons: Press Func followed by a 2-digit number to enable a specific color or colors in the display (see right). For example, Func 6 4 will display only red and green data, Func 6 7 will display all color data. Eliminating one or more colors can help with certain diagnostics and setups. noTe: Color enabling can also be implemented from numerous locations within the menu system. PRojeCT oR Press Proj to access a specific projector within a group of projectors or to confirm if the local projector is listening. The number in the “Enter Number” window indicates which projector is currently listening to commands, and will match the projector number that has been defined in the Menu Preferences menu. The “Projector” checkbox (read-only) shows whether or not the projector physically connected to a keypad is listening to commands from that keypad. A checkmark means that connected projector is listening; if there is no checkmark, you are communicating with a different projector. To control a specific projector with the keypad, press Proj and then enter the three-digit number assigned to the projector you want to use. If you switch to a projector other than the one you are currently using, the checkmark will disappear. To broadcast to multiple projectors, press Proj and then Proj again without entering a projector number. Keypad commands will then affect all projectors present. Note that there is no method of controlling a group of projectors within the same wired configuration using the Wired Keypad exclusively, since there is only one wired protocol available. noTes: 1) The "Broadcast Keys" option in the Communications menu must be selected for only one (any) projector in a serial network. The keypad in use must be OFF (disabled) for the remaining projectors. 2) See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls. enTeR Press to select a highlighted item, to toggle a checkbox, or to accept a parameter adjustment and return to the previous menu or image. exIT Press Exit to return to the previous level, such as the previous menu. noTe: Exit does not save changes within text editing boxes (including number editing of a slide bar value) or within pull-down lists.

3-14 noTe: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for details on connecting sources to the projector. The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 50 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory feature allows you to define and conveniently use a wide variety of customized setups rather than having to repeatedly re-configure the projector for different presentations. Depending on what you have defined, each physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it. InPUT — An input is a source physically connected at the projector. Input describes the source signal according to which input slot it is connected. sWITChIng InPUTs — Press the appropriate “direct” key — Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, Input 4, Input 5 or Input 6 to quickly display from one of the six inputs connected. The image will be displayed according to the following: If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did not define a channel by adjusting anything), the projector will recognize the new input signal based on its frequencies and polarities, and will automatically display an image according to default settings for such a signal. In general, the image from the new source will be as large as possible without losing its aspect ratio. This and other default Picture Adjustments depend on the incoming source. If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter such as contrast, V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory (see below). Using one of the Input keys will automatically recall this channel — and all its setup parameters — and update the display accordingly. If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according to the setup parameters for the first channel with matching characteristics. noTe: Inputs 7 and 8 require the Dual SD/HD-SDI module in either of the projector’s option slots. For their selection, see also 3.2 Using the Remote or Built-In Keypad . Channel — A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that tailor the display of a signal to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary greatly, you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, aspect ratio, etc., in order to customize and optimize the display from or for a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose for a VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a high resolution computer source, or one signal may simply vary from another signal used previously through the same input location. Once you have adjusted a display parameter, such as pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are collectively stored in the projector’s memory as a unique 2-digit channel, such as 0 9. You can have numerous distinct channels available for the same input, any of which can be selected by using the Channel key on the keypad followed by the 2-digit channel number. Do I select an Input or a Channel? Section 3 ► Operation 3.4 Using Inputs and Channels
3-15 Shown at right is a sample channel list as would be available from Channel. This is typically called the channel list. noTe: The Channel key may display a channel list or not, depending on what you have defined for “Display Channel List” (see Menu Preferences later in this section). In order to access channels by using Channel on the keypad, you must first create the channels. See below. To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to projector memory so that the projector will respond properly to an input signal from that source in the future. A new channel can be created automatically, as described here, or it can be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary (see Copying or Deleting Channels \ later in this section). When you select a direct input ( Input 1, Input 2, Input 3, Input 4, Input 5 or Input 6), any existing channels in the projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters – this only occurs if Auto Source is enabled on these channels. If no match to the incoming input signal is found in currently-defined channels, a new channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of signal. The channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 01-50. noTes: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed and will not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If two channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal. If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image will be set up and displayed as usual according to the parameters currently defined for that channel. UsIng a Channel: You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing Channel (see below). If you want to prevent a channel from appearing in this list, you must edit the channel as described in Channel Edit later in this section. Such a channel can still be selected by entering its number as shown at right. noTes: 1) The current channel is highlighted upon entering the channel list, or, if this channel is not displayed here, the first channel in the list is highlighted. 2) Channels created automatically do not appear in the channel list unless a parameter for the channel has\ been changed.

3-16 All available channels are listed in the Channel Setup menu, which describes how each channel can be accessed and which serves as the gateway for editing, copying and deleting channels. Press Menu from the presentation level to display the Main menu. To display the Channel Setup menu, press 3, or move the highlight to the Channel Setup option and press . The Channel Setup menu will appear (see sample above), with the active channel highlight\ ed. Wha T aPPeaRs In Channel seTUP MenU? This menu lists all channels defined so far and indicates where they are connected on the input panel. The far left column lists channel numbers currently defined. The values in the far right columns indicate horizontal and vertical frequencies — if someone has defined a name for this channel, it appears here instead. Remaining columns contain details pertaining to each channel setup, such as its switcher number (always 0 = projector), slot location, a variety of icons indicating access to each channel, and an abbreviated description of each signal type. See Editing a Channel Setup for details. noTe: If you have more than a handful of channels, use and to see the remaining channels not visible in the initial display of channels. sIgnal TYPe — Either channel list, whether the Channel key list or the Channel Setup menu, identifies signal types in a shortened form as defined below. These descriptors indicate what signal information the projector uses to identify a match for a given channel, and are preceded by either an “i” (interlaced signals) or “p” (progressive\ signal“).
