fYI  foR YoUR InfoRMa TIon 
The projector broadcasts an FYI message when it detects a change in status. The FYI message 
contains the relevant status code followed by its new state (P1), up to 2 additional parameters of 
detail, and a brief text description. The address of the source projector precedes the FYI code. 
noTe:  FYI messages are gated by the Error Message Enable (EME) control. Turning off EME 
also turns off FYI.

When	 the	Dual	 SD/HD-SDI	 module	is	present,	 the	HDC	 command	 specifies	how	the	card	 is	
being  used.    The  module  can  be  used  to  support  a  Dual  Link  setup  or  have  two  independent 
single	 HD	channels.	 By	default	 the	configuration	 is	set	 to	two	 single	 channels.	 You	may	 select	 a	
dual link setup where the 'A' channel on the module is the primary video channel or the selection 
can be made to have the 'B' channel as the primary video in a dual link format. P1 is the Option 
Slot	number	(1	or	2)	and	P2	is	the	value	you	want	to	set	for	the	configuration	(see	table	below).

When the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is present, a serial input may be routed to a serial output to 
allow chaining of signal sources using the HDL command. You can specify which input is routed 
to which output. Primary and Secondary sources may also be used as designated inputs to loop 
to	 outputs.	 P1	defines	 the	option 	card	 slot	you	 wish	 to	configure	 and	P2	refers	 to	what	 loop	thru

hlP  helP 
Use HLP for a list of all serial commands supported in your projector—send the (HLP?) request. 
Each item in the list has 3 parameters stating if the command is disabled (and why), its 3-character 
code, and the menu label or brief description: 
  P1 = current on/off state of the command
    0 = enabled 
    1 = disabled because power is off 
    2 = disabled because the required hardware is missing
    3 = disabled because the function has not been licensed 
    4 = disabled because the factory option has not been enabled 
    5 = disabled because the command is not valid in the current context
	 	 6	=	disabled	because	the	user	has	an	insufficient	security	level	
    7 = disabled because the function has been locked in the service menu
    8 = this is a read-only function 
 
  P2 = 3-letter ASCII code for the command (ASR, BRU, etc.) 
  P3 = menu label for the command. For those commands for which there is no equivalent  
  menu item, short descriptive text is returned 
hoR  hoRIzonT al PosITIon 
Use HOR to adjust the horizontal position of the image. 
l Vs  lens VaRIsCoPe sYsTeM 
This enables (1) the lens settings to be saved / restored when the channel is changed.  When off 
(0), changing the channel does not affect the lens settings. When LVS is activated it may cause 
a query to proceed with lens motor calibration (see LCB). Lens calibration is necessary for LVS 
to  function.    Since  calibration  will  take  a  couple  of  minutes,  the  user  is  allowed  to  decline  and 
leave LVS turned off. 
InM  In MenU 
Use  INM  to  specify  whether  a  source  setup  is  to  be  included  in  (1)  or  excluded  from  (0)  the 
source	setup	selection	menu.	See	section	See	also	2.5,	 Accessing	Specific	Source	Setups.
IoP  IMage oPTIMIza TIon
With the IOP control, the user can choose whether raw image quality or the cleanness\
 of image 
transitions is more important.
Choosing Best Image Quality allows scaler resources to be allocated under some conditions to 
improve image quality in the form of deeper pixel depth. However, when switching sources, the 
screen will go blank and increase your switching time.
Choosing Smooth Switching allows for cleaner transitions and/or fading when a user selects a 
new source to be displayed. The images will fade from the old image to the new image according 
to the Fade Time control (FAD).
Seamless Switching overrides the Frame Lock Enable (FLE) settings and forces the output to run 
at 60Hz regardless of the input signal. The image is 100% seamless when switching sources.
Parameter Value
P1 0 = Best Image Quality
1 = Smooth Switching
2 = Seamless Switching

KeystoneKsT  KeYsTone
Use KST to correct vertical keystone (14-50) so that the sides of the image do not slope away 
from each other, and the image is rectangular. The default value is 32 (no keystone).
For advanced 2D keystone using the Warp Module, see Warp Keystone Corners (WKC).
lbl   lefT blanKIng 
Use LBL to blank the left edge of the image (0-1000). The amount of blanking feasible depends 
on the incoming source data. 
lCb  lens CalIbRa Te 
LCB forces the projector to calibrate the lens/motors and is intended for use in conjunction with 
Wolf  Cinema's  Lens  VariScope  System  (LVS).  Lens  Calibration  is  not  necessary  if  LVS  is  not 
used. 
LCB  provides  three  types  of  calibrations  to  be  performed.  A  Reference  calibration  locates  a 
positional  reference  point  for  repeatable  motor  positioning.  A  Motion  calibration  calculates 
and  sets  motion  parameters  that  optimize  individual  motors  response  for  accurate  positional 
placement. A Full calibration executes both of these calibrations. 
If  LVS  has  already  been  enabled  (refer  to  LVS  command),  a  Reference  calibration  will  be 
performed when the projector is powered up. Motion calibration only needs to be done once when 
LVS is initially enabled because the results are retained in memory for future use.  Therefore, if 
LVS is to be used, it is only necessary to perform motion calibration onc\
e. 
LVS  can  only  be  enabled  if  both  calibrations  have  been  performed  at  least  once.  If  LVS  is 
disabled, neither calibration is necessary. 
Refer to the tables below for the parameters to control the LVS calibration process.
Command Values:
Parameter Description
1 - Relative Calibrate Motor Zero Reference Position
2 - Manual Calibrate Motion Parameters for Lens Motors
3 - Calibrate Calibrate both Reference and Motion Parameters
  
Query Values:
1 = calibration has been done, 0 = calibration has not been done

levels.	 Use	in	conjunction	 with	LDV	 (Level	 Detector	 Value),	which	defines	 a	threshold	 below	
which all incoming colors will be turned black, and above which all colors will turn to white. At this 
point, the Level Detector will be enabled.

Use an LDV setting of 1 to 1023 when the LDT (see above) will be enabled. This is a threshold 
below which all incoming colors will be turned black, and above which all colors will turn to white, 
and is an aid for setting up input levels.

  (LHO K0)    Stop horizontal movement (without this, lens movement will    
      continue until it reaches the end stop). 
To “nudge” the image a minimum distance, script in a delay between (LHO K3) and (LHO K0). 
Depending	on	your	application,	a	delay	of	at	least	20-30	milliseconds	may	be	sufficient.	
l TC laMP  TRaCKIng CalIbRa TIon

P2 = Gain  Gain value can be from 0 to 32767 
P3 = Offset  Offset value can be between -32768 to 32767 
noTe:  LTC calibration can take several minutes to complete and will vary the lamp output during 
calibration.  All  lamp  settings  will  return  to  their  initial  condition  once  the  calibration  has  been 
completed.
