A Tour of the Menus
Main Menu
Input Selection
Select an input source from the drop-down list.
Test Pattern
Select a test pattern from the drop-down list.
Global Settings
Global Settings are those that affect the whole projector, regardless of which input is being used or what kind of image is being displayed.
More information about this menu can be found later in this section.
Input Settings
The Input Settings are those that affect ONLY the input being displayed. When a new input mode (video or graphics standard) is detected, eg
NTSC, HDTV 1080p or SVGA, these settings are saved so that they can be recalled next time that input mode is displayed. In some cases
the mode may change for the same input. For example, a DVD player connected to the HDMI input could switch between 1080p24 and
1080i60. The projector is able to save and automatically recall different input settings for these different input modes.
More information about this menu can be found later in this section.
Information
Information about the projector, the current input source, and about Digital Projection.
More information about this menu can be found later in this section.

Notes
See also Using the Menus, earlier
in this guide and Menu Map, later in
this guide.
Main Menu
The Test Pattern will be not be
displayed until Test Pattern is
selected from the Input Selection
drop-down list.
Test Patterns are subject to image
controls, so brightness, contrast
etc. will affect their appearance on
screen.

Global Settings Menu
Global Settings are those that affect the whole projector, regardless of which input is being used or what signal type is being displayed.
Projector
Orientation
Depending on how the projector is mounted, select the appropriate setting from the drop-down list
Optimisation
Affects interlaced sources only. For fastest response, the Low Latency setting gives minimum frame delay. For improved performance with
films involving motion sequences, the Motion setting uses adaptive de-interlacing and interpolation, but takes longer to process.
Select the appropriate setting from the drop-down list.
Conguration
Select PIP, if the projector is to display two images at the same time, using PIP, PAP or POP mode. More information about this feature
can be found later in this section.
Select PIP, if this is a lone projector displaying a single image, but make sure that PIP Option is turned off.
Select Edge Blend if this projector is part of an array of projectors, each one showing a part of one large image. More information about
the Edge Blend feature can be found later in this section.

Page 8Rev A June 2011
Edge Blend
When several projectors are used to create a large tiled image, the edges need to be blended to avoid the overlaps appearing brighter than
the rest of the image. The Edge Blend menu is available only when Conguration in the Projector menu is set to Edge Blend.
Array Width and Height
Set this to the total number of projectors in the array. None of the other options are available until one of these two settings is greater than
1. The maximum number of projectors is 4x 4.
Array H Position and V Position
These two parameters need to be set correctly for each projector in the array, so that it can determine which edges are to be blended.
Sometimes only one edge overlaps, sometimes two, three or four.
Blending
Set this to Off for a lone projector, On to enable Edge Blending, or Align Pattern to help adjust the physical position of the projectors.
Segmentation
Set this to On, if you want the projector to divide up the image into tiles, or Off if you have external equipment to do this.

Global Settings
Edge Blend
This menu is available only when
Conguration in the Projector
menu is set to Edge Blend.
None of the other blend options are
available until either the Width or
Height setting is greater than 1.
Note that the position numbering
starts from zero:
So the top left projector is at position
H 0, V 0.
Which settings are available in these
menus depends on:
- how many projectors there are in
the array
- the position of the projector in the
array
Blend Width
Use this to set the width of the blended
regions.
•
Black Level Uplift
Use this to correct for non-zero black
levels in the blended regions.
•
Reduce Black Level Uplift Width
Use this to correct for stray light from
the DMD’s non-addressable border.

PIP
This menu is available only when
Conguration in the Projector
menu is set to PIP.
PIP, PAP and POP are NOT
possible when Input is set to Test
Pattern.
In these examples, the flower is the
main image, and the window is the
sub-image, shown at the Medium
size setting.
The two images MUST be from
different Input groups.
The Position settings apply ONLY
to PIP mode. PAP and POP are
always as shown in these examples.
PIP
Two images can be combined, in three different ways using this feature. The PIP menu is
available only when Conguration in the Projector menu is set to PIP.
Option
Select PIP, PAP, or POP mode from the drop-down list.
Input
Select an Input from the drop-down list. The inputs are divided into two groups – the
main image must be from one group, and the sub-image must be from the other group.
Group A: CVBS 1, CVBS 2, S-VIDEO and 3G-SDI
Group B: COMPONENT, VGA, DVI, HDMI and DVI-A
Size
Select a size for the sub-image from the drop-down list.
Position
Select one of the preset positions for the sub-image from the drop-down list.
Custom Position
If you have chosen Custom from the Position drop-down list, then you can use the
sliders to position the image manually.

Main Menu
Global Settings
Advanced Geometry
See also Geometry in the Input
Settings menu, later in this guide.
Which settings are available in these
menus depends on:
- which Mode is selected in the first
drop-down list
- and the Pincushion/Barrel slider
can be used on its own, or in
conjunction with Keystone or
Rotation, but not with Cornerstone
or Warp.
All of these modes may result in
some reduction in resolution. If it
is possible to correct the image by
repositioning the screen or projector,
then this is preferable.
Advanced Geometry
These settings in the Global Menu affect all images, regardless of which input is being used or what signal type is being displayed.
Mode
Select Keystone, Cornerstone, Rotation, Warp Map or Off from the Mode drop-down list.
Warp
Using an external Digital Projection computer application, up to eight customised warp maps can be created and uploaded to the
projector. If Warp Mode is selected, and any warp maps have been uploaded, you can select from the drop-down list.
Horizontal and Vertical Keystone
If Keystone Mode is selected, you can set these two sliders to correct for any distortion caused by the projector being in a different
horizontal or vertical plane to the screen.
Pincushion/Barrel
You can set this slider to correct for any distortion caused by the screen being concave or convex.
Rotation
If Rotation Mode is selected, you can set this slider to rotate the image on the screen.
Cornerstone
If Cornerstone Mode is selected, you can use the sliders
to stretch the image from each of the four corners.

Input Settings Menu
The Input Settings are those that affect ONLY the input being displayed. When a new input mode (video or graphics standard) is detected, eg
NTSC, HDTV 1080p or SVGA, these settings are saved so that they can be recalled next time that input mode is displayed. In some cases
the mode may change for the same input. For example, a DVD player connected to the HDMI input could switch between 1080p24 and
1080i60. The projector is able to save and automatically recall different input settings for these different input modes.
