2.9. OSD Lock and unlock
➢If multiple units of GeoBox is installed together or the IR receiver is put together, in order to
avoid interference among multiple GeoBox during the installation, user can set different ID
number for each GeoBox through [Options] Menu. Press number keys in Remote Controller to
determine which GeoBox will be controlled.
- 851: control GeoBox ID No. 1
- 853: control GeoBox ID No. 3
- 850: to unlock all units and user can control all GeoBox.
- User will see flashing LED on front panel after press 85x number keys. It means the OSD
menu in GeoBox with flash LED is locked and will not be controlled by remote controller.
➢OSD Lock / Unlock: When continuously press [Menu] key in IR Remote Control for 5 seconds,
the OSD function will be locked to prevent from setting change by negligence. To press [MENU]
key for 5 seconds again, it will unlock OSD and user can manipulate the OSD again.
2.10. System synchronization
When the system uses multiple projectors, the image should be synchronized together. GeoBox
uses [Frame Sync] to synchronize all outputs based on the input signal vertical sync. When [Frame
Sync] is applied, it is possible to lose sync during system setup and cause the projector to re-search
the signal source. In order to provide smoother setup, GeoBox provides OSD for user to select
different synchronization methods for easy setup.
➢[Normal] (Frame Locked): when user uses multiple units of GeoBox, we propose to set at
[Normal] to let all output synchronized together. The sync time will be longest. When user reset
system or adjust video wall settings, user may see projector re-searching the input source.
➢[Fast] (Phase lock): time to sync the input source will be fast than [Normal]. However, due to
projector still needs to re-search input signal, the total signal change time including projector re-
searching will be very similar.
➢[Disable] (Free-Run mode): when GeoBox changes input source or timing, the output will be
still running without losing any signal. The projector will not search the input source again.

There will be no loss signal when Reset or executing video wall settings. We propose user to
set at [Disable] during system setup to save setup time. After finishing system settings, user
needs to switch back to [Normal]. Otherwise, it is possible to have some frame tear or
synchronization issue in the outputs.
➢If the output refresh rate is not the same as input refresh rate. The frame lock function will be
disabled and it may lose synchronization among output channels. If the input is 4k/30 with
FHD/60 output, it will have no synchronization problem. If the input is 50Hz, please select
1080p 50 Hz output to avoid frame repeat issue.
2.11. Dual window display-- PIP/POP (Picture in picture and side by side)
a、Picture in Picture (PIP) function is to display up two images from one processing channel. The
minimum size is 320*180 Pixels and maximum size of the sub-image (PIP) is 1920*1200 pixels.
b、The location of the PIP image can be controlled by OSD menu at any location inside main image.
c、The size of the PIP image is also flexible and can be controlled by OSD menu.
d、User can display up to 8 contents in one M804 processor. Each sub-image can only be displayed
inside the display range in each projector. When execute edge blending, user needs to avoid to have
sub-image in edge blending area.
e、If PIP/POP image needs to be across entire screen, user needs to use the first processing channel
as PIP/POP processor and output the image to HDMI port in next channel, then daisy chain
connection to all processing channels. After edge blending, user can see PIP/POP across entire
screen. Under this condition, the maximum system resolution will be limited to 2048x1080.
✓PIP: Picture in Picture
✓POP: Picture Outside Picture
✓PIP sub-image maximum size: 1920*1200
✓90/270 image rotation is not available under
PIP/POP function. Only 180 rotation of image
flip is available.
✓Both main and sub-image will go through high
end video processing to get the best quality.

⬧Original AR: the same aspect ratio as sub-image input source.
⬧POP main image aspect ratio can be adjusted through [Scaling] under [Image Properties] OSD
menu. Sub-image aspect ratio can be adjusted through [Ratio] menu under [PIP Setting].
✓Source:
⬧The input source for PIP/POP is selectable. Main image can be selected from [Input Signal]
under [Image Properties] menu or remote controller hot key. Sub-image shall be selected from
[Source] under [Pip Setting] menu.
⬧If user selects any HDMI input as main image, PIP or POP sub-image should come from VGA or
DP input ports. Two HDMI input signals can’t be selected as Main and Sub-image at the same
time. If user wants to execute two HDMI input sources as main and sub-image, user needs to
add one HDMI to DP adapter to connect HDMI source into DP port.
✓Rotating function combined with PIP/POP
⬧When PIP/POP is implemented, main image and sub-image can’t be rotated at 90/270 degrees.
Only 180 degrees rotation or RH/LH image flip and UP/Down flip function can be executed. Both
main and PIP image will go through high end 3D motion de-interlacing.
⬧Main image rotation shall be executed from [Orientation] under [Image Properties] menu and
Sub-image rotation shall be executed from [Orientation] under [PIP setting] menu.
⬧Main and sub-image can be rotated at different directions.
⬧When main image is 90/270 degrees rotated and user executed PIP/POP function, main image
will be returned to normal display direction. Image 180 degrees rotation or flip can still be
executed without change.
2.12. Image Orientation (Flip & Rotation)
✓This image orientation function will be applied to main image only.
✓User can see the direction of the TEXT “R” to do image flip and rotation.
