2.10. System synchronization
When the system uses multiple G116, 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): We propose to set at [Normal] in most of the applications. When user
reset system or adjust video wall settings, user will see projector re-searching the input source.
➢[Fast]: time to sync the input source will be fast than [Normal]. During video wall settings,
projector will reduce re-search behavior and will have smoother setup process.
➢[Disable] (Free-Run mode): when GeoBox changes input source or timing, the output will still
send out continuous output signal. The projector has lowest chance to re-search the input
signal while system setup.
2.11. PIP/POP -- Dual window display
➢Picture in Picture (PIP) function is to display up two images from one processing channel. The
minimum size of sub-image is 320*180 Pixels and maximum size is 1920*1200 pixels.
➢The location of the PIP image can be controlled by OSD menu at any location inside main image.
➢The size of the PIP image is also flexible and can be controlled by OSD menu.

⬧User can execute further image cropping and aspect ratio change in PIP/POP image.
⬧After further Overlap adjustment, user can further enlarge PIP image range from 180*90 pixels
up to WUXGA resolution. User can also adjust image size in POP mode.
➢[Orientation] for 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 executes PIP/POP function, main image
will be returned to normal display direction. Image 180 degrees rotation or flip can still be
executed without change.
3. Geometry alignment
3.1. Select appropriate Grid Pattern for geometry alignment
Grid pattern is required for geometry alignment. User can activate test pattern through [Pattern] hotkey
in remote controller or through WebGui and Gwarp3 PC tool.
➢The default grid size is 32*32 pixels. User can select different grid size from 8-120 pixels. Each
channel can be set separately.
➢The OSD show-up time can be determined by [Options]→[Accessibility]→[Menu Time Out]. If set
at “0”, the OSD will show up all the time unless input timing is changed or OSD [Exit].
➢If user executes Geometry alignment, the pattern will appear automatically after select the
adjusting point and press Enter.
➢There are 6 pattern styles for user to select. When user presses [Pattern] key, it will circulate from
[White]→[Red]→[Green]→[Yellow]→[Cyan]→[White grid + background]→[OSD menu +
Background]
➢If user wants to apply his own test pattern, please select the last transparent pattern mode to show
up background user pattern.
➢User can select different pattern color for each projector while doing image stacking setup.
➢User can see geometry adjusting value when select [Background + OSD] display style.

3.2. Grid pattern pixel size selection
➢The grid size in both horizontal and vertical directions is from 8 to 120 pixels with 1-pixel
increasement. H&V grid size will be the same.
➢Default grid size for both H&V directions are 32x32.
➢If 120 pixels grid size is selected, the grid pattern will be at the same position as 17x17
geometry adjustment control points.

3.3.1. Geometry alignment through remote controller
➢[OSD Time Out] is default to ”0”. It will ensure the grid pattern will not be turned off
automatically. Input mode change will disable OSD and grid pattern.
➢User can install IR extender receiver near screen for easy GeoBox operation (if necessary,
please add audio extending cable to extend the distance up to 20 meters). If multiple units
of GeoBox are used and IR receivers are put together, please set [Box ID] for each G116
so that user can control each G116 separately through [85x] command. Press number
keys in Remote Controller following OSD menu for the control of multiple GeoBox:
- 850: will activate all GeoBox. User can execute simultaneous control for all GeoBox
- 851: activate only ID #1 GeoBox for further control.
- 852: activate only ID#2 GeoBox for further control.
3.3.2. [2x2] 4 corner geometry alignment
[2x2] alignment will adjust whole image with the same scaling factor. [Warp] alignment will
adjust only some portions of the image.
3.3.3. [3x3], [5x3], [9x5] Warp alignment
➢After finish [2x2] corner alignment, apply [3x3], [5x3], [9x5] geometry alignment.
➢Please follow the sequence [2x2]→[3x3]→[5x3]→[9x5] to do geometry alignment to
ensure entire image will have uniform scaling factor.

➢After finish Warp alignment, user can use [2x2] for complete image position fine tune
without changing the Warp result. If user executes [3x3] alignment again after [9x5]
alignment, [9x5] grid position will be reset and only keep [3x3] grid point information.
➢Geometry alignment range from remote controller can be up to 600 pixels in [2x2] + 600
pixels more in [3x3] for one corner/edge.
3.3.4. Linearity grid line adjustment
The control point can shift the lines in both horizontal and vertical directions.
➢Linearity grid line adjustment is under [3x3], [5x3] & [9x5] warp alignment menu. User can
select the control point, then press ENTER to do grid line adjustment. Each control point
can shift the image in both horizontal and vertical directions.
➢When user projects the image to curved screen, the image grid size will continuously
change—the grid size at the center will be bigger than both sides. Ultra-short throw
projector will be more serious. Linearity grid line adjustment is designed to correct this kind
of grid line gap difference.
➢Linearity Grid Line adjustment can shift both horizontal and vertical grid lines. The
maximum adjusting points in OSD menu is H=9, V=5. For [3x3], the adjusting range is
+_600 pixels in each direction. This function is not available in Gwarp3 PC tool.
