IF WITHIN A PRESENTATION: Press FUNC followed by two numeric numbers to enable a specific color or colors in the display (see right). For example, will display only red, and will display green data. Eliminating one or more colors can help with certain diagnostics and setups, such as when accurately overlaying one image on top of another from stacked projectors. NOTE: Color enabling can also be implemented from numerous locations within the menu system. Press FUNC followed by HELP to disable Keystone, Edge Blending and Brightness Uniformity settings. This will disable the features without changing the settings associated with them. Projector [PROJ] 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 PROJ check box (read‐only) shows whether or not a projector connected to a keypad is receiving keypad commands. A checkmark indicates that the projector is receiving keypad commands. 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: 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. NOTE: The address of the projector can be set in the Configuration Menu> Communications Submenu.
32 Enter Press ENTER to select a highlighted item, to toggle a check box, 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. It acts as a “cancel” in these cases. Arrow Keys Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY to change a slide bar value or to select a different option within a pull‐down list without having to first scroll through options or navigate within a menu, pull‐down list or text box. Lens H and Lens V When adjusting the image for focus, zoom or horizontal and vertical positioning, use the specific arrow keys (LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY or UP/DOWN ARROW KEY) related to each function. A small window will appear to indicate the type of adjustment taking place.

There are several groups of related functions, with each group selectable from the Main menu as shown at right. Press MENU at any time to display this Main menu. The complete MENU TREE is described in Appendix B. On the remote keypad, enter the number corresponding to the function menu you wish to access, such as 2 for the Image Settings menu. Or use the UP/DOWN ARROW KEY on any keypad to highlight the desired option, then press ENTER. The corresponding function menu or pull‐down list of further options will appear. With a function menu displayed, enter a menu option number for any numbered option, or use the UP/DOWN ARROW KEY to highlight the desired option and then press ENTER. Long menus have a scroll bar on the right— use the arrow keys to access the remainder of the menu. Locked items or items that do not pertain to the current action or condition appear dimmed and cannot be selected. When finished with a function menu: • Press EXIT to return to the previous screen. OR • Press MENU to leave the menu system and return to the presentation. NOTES: 1) If there is no signal present, all source‐dependent adjustments are disabled. 2) After 15 minutes of inactivity, the projector leaves the menu system and returns to the presentation. 3) The Status menu is read‐only. On‐line Help Press HELP to display summary information about the current menu or highlighted option. Press HELP again to exit.
35 Menu options that include this icon apply universally. Menu options without this icon apply to the selected channel only, or are unsaved diagnostic settings. Using Slide bars and Other Controls Most of the function menus allow you to change settings by using slide bars, check boxes, and pull‐down lists. Navigating options: • Enter the menu option number corresponding to the setting you wish to change (for example, press MENU 1 3 to select “Vertical Stretch” in the Size and Position menu). • Move the highlight to the option desired and press ENTER. • Move the highlight to the option desired and press LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY to adjust immediately. • You can bypass the menus entirely and use a single key to immediately access an adjustment during your presentation (applies only to options having their own key, such as Contrast, Brightness, Gamma, etc.). • For “blind” access, hide the entire menu system (see OSD key, above) and access using the proper sequence of key presses. Slide bars in menus – The current value for a given parameter, such as size or vertical stretch, appears to the left of its slide bar icon (adjustment window). This number often expresses a percentage, or it may have units associated with it (such as pixels), depending on the specific option. Press LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY to gradually adjust the setting up or down—both the number and the length of the bar change accordingly. Hold for continuous adjustment. Or press ENTER to activate a slide bar text box for specific number entry via the keypad and then press ENTER to save (or press EXIT to cancel). “Direct” slide bars ‐ For quick access, to Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast slide bars without traveling the menu system. Press Gamma, Brightness, or Contrast to display the contrast slide bar. Use the arrow keys to adjust a direct slide bar, or press ENTER and enter a specific number from the keypad, then ENTER or LEFT ARROW KEY or RIGHT ARROW KEY to save (or EXIT to cancel). When you are done, press EXIT to save and return to your presentation.
36 NOTES: 1) You can still adjust a direct slide bar as usual if the display is turned off (see OSD or Menu Preferences menu) — the slide bar just won’t be visible. 2) A direct slide bar disappears if it is not used within five seconds. Check boxes ‐ Conditions are present if its adjacent check box contains a checkmark. To toggle the check box, highlight and press ENTER, or highlight and use RIGHT ARROW KEY to check and LEFT ARROW KEY to uncheck. If a check box is numbered, enter its number to immediately toggle the check box. Pull‐down lists – To see a pull‐down list of options available for a given parameter: • Highlight the list and press ENTER; or • Enter the menu option number Use the UP ARROW KEY or DOWN ARROW KEY to navigate up and down within the list. Press ENTER to choose an option from the list. If you prefer to quickly scroll through a list without first pulling it down, highlight the option and use LEFT ARROW KEY or RIGHT ARROW KEY. Press ENTER when the desired choice appears. NOTES: 1) Press LEFT ARROW KEY or RIGHT ARROW KEY to jump between pages in an extra long pull‐down list. 2) Press EXIT while in a pull‐down list to cancel any change. Editing Text Activate the Edit Window: To enter or edit text, highlight the desired parameter (such as a channel name) and press ENTER to activate its adjacent edit window. Any previously entered text is displayed with its first character highlighted in a square cursor, signifying that this character is ready for editing. Navigate Within the Edit Window: Press RIGHT ARROW KEY to move the cursor forward or LEFT ARROW KEY to move the cursor backwards as desired. Edit a character: To edit a highlighted character, use UP ARROW KEY and DOWN ARROW KEY to scroll through the alphabet, numbers, spaces and punctuation available. When the character you need appears, press RIGHT ARROW KEY to select it—the cursor will move to the next available character of current text. To convert a lower case letter into a capital letter, position the cursor on the letter and press FUNC followed by the UP ARROW KEY. To convert a
37 capital letter into a lower case letter, position the cursor on the letter and press FUNC followed by the DOWN ARROW KEY. NOTE: Also enter numbers directly from the keypad. Add or Delete a Character or Space: To insert a space at the cursor location, press FUNC then the RIGHT ARROW KEY. To delete a highlighted character (or space), press FUNC then the LEFT ARROW KEY. Delete all Characters: Press FUNC followed by ENTER. Press Enter When Finished: To accept edits and leave the edit window, press ENTER. NOTE: Press EXIT at any time to cancel changes and return to the previously defined text. Edit numerical values: Enter numbers directly from the keypad to specify numbers representing projectors channels (source setups), or slots. As each digit is entered, it is inserted on the right of the field, and the numbers already in the field are shifted on the left. The channel numbers are defined with two digits—for example, if you enter only a single digit (such as “7”) for a channel number, the channel will automatically be defined as “07”. Enter “07” to utilize this channel. If you press any non‐numbered key, the number entered up to that point is accepted and updated as the new value. Press EXIT to cancel editing of numerical values. 3.4 Alarms and Error Messages
38 Figure 3.3 There are two types of alarms: • Warning Alarm • Critical Alarm A warning alarm is generated when an error or a non‐optimal condition occurs that will not prevent the projector from operating. An example is when a temperature is slightly elevated. A critical alarm is generated when a condition occurs that could prevent the projector from operating and could cause damage to the projector. This may cause the projector to shut down automatically. An example would be a fan not running. Alarms are displayed: • on the projector LCD • in the Status Menu of the OSD (if active) • in the Web User Interface NOTES: 1) When an alarm is displayed on the LCD, the built‐in keypad is disabled. Press the OK soft key to re‐enable the built‐in keypad. When the status of the alarm item is within normal range, the alarm will clear. 3.5 Using Inputs and Channels NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for details on connecting sources to the projector. The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 99 different channels (source setup memories) for the available sources. 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. Many will use the
39 channel memories for different calibrations, such as when viewing at night or during daylight. Another important characteristic of Wolf Cinema channel memories is the use for multi‐aspect ratio control via the VariScope primary lens [whereby different video shapes can be quickly recalled, without the need for an external anamorphic lens]. Depending on what you have defined, each physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have many different channel memories associated with it. When do I Select an Input or a Channel? INPUT — An input is a source physically connected at the projector. Input describes the source signal according to which input slot it is connected to. SWITCHING INPUTS — Press the appropriate key — Input 1 , Input 2 , Input 3 , Input 4 , etc to select from one of the 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. CHANNEL— A channel is a collection of measurements and settings that tailor the image 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 for a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose for a broadcast source may be very different from those you choose for a high resolution Blu‐ray player. Also the channel memories are where different video shapes [aspect ratios] are stored and recalled. Once you have adjusted a display parameter, such as contrast, all current settings are collectively stored in the projector’s memory as a unique 2‐digit channel, such as “09” . 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. Shown at right is a sample channel list as would be available from Channel . This is typically called the channel list.
40 NOTE: The Channel key may display a channel list or not, depending on what you have defined for “Display Channel List” (see also Menu Preferences in this section). In order to access channels by using Channel on the keypad, you must first create the channels. The Wolf Cinema team will typically deliver the projector with 5‐8 pre‐set channels for your use. Creating a New Channel “AUTOMATICALLY” 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 ( ex: Input 1), any existing channel memories 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 the Channel button and select ENTER, or enter its number as shown at right. 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. 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. CHANNEL SETUP MENU: 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 ENTER . The Channel Setup menu will appear (see sample below), with the active channel highlighted.
