1. Safety

• Before attempting to remove any of the projector’s covers, you must turn off the projector and disconnect from the wall outlet.

• When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord from the power net.

• The power input at the projector side is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, to access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the ﬁxed wiring.

• Never stack more than 2 HDX projectors in a hanging conﬁguration (truss) and never stack more than 3 HDX projectors in a base stand conﬁ guration (table mount).

• When using the projector in a hanging conﬁguration, always mount 2 safety cables. See installation manual for the correct use of these cables.

• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and possible injury to the user.

• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Lenses, shields or ultra violet screens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.

• Warning: Protection from ultraviolet radiation: Do not look directly in the light beam. The lamp contained an intense source of light and heat. One component of the light emitted from this lamp is ultraviolet light. Potential eye and skin hazards are present when the lamp is energized due to ultraviolet radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Protect yourself and your employees by making them aware of the hazards and how to protect themselves. Protecting the skin by wearing tightly woven garments and gloves. Protecting the eyes from UV can be accomplished by wearing safety glasses that are designed to provide UV protection. In addition to the UV, the visible light from the lamp is intense and should also be considered when choosing protective eye wear.

• Exposure to UV radiation: Some medications are known to make individuals extra sensitive to UV radiation. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends occupational UV exposure for an-8 hour day to be less than 0,1 micro-watts per square centimeters of effective UV radiation. An evaluation of the workplace is advised to assure employees are not exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding these government guidelines. The exposer of this UV radiation is allowed for only 1 hour per day for maintenance and service persons.

• Cooling liquid circuit. The projector contains a cooling circuit ﬁlled with Blue antifreeze diluted (1/3 ethanediol – 2/3 Demi water). When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician. The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.

To prevent ﬁre hazard

• Do not place ﬂammable or combustible materials near the projector!

• Barco large screen projection products are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent safety regulations. This projector radiates heat on its external surfaces and from ventilation ducts during normal operation, which is both normal and safe. Exposing ﬂammable or combustible materials into close proximity of this projector could result in the spontaneous ignition of that material, resulting in a ﬁre. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to leave an “exclusion zone” around all external surfaces of the projector whereby no ﬂ ammable or combustible materials are present. The exclusion zone must be not less than 40 cm (16”) for all DLP projectors. The exclusion zone on the lens side must be at least 5 m. Do not cover the projector or the lens with any material while the projector is in operation. Keep ﬂammable and combustible materials away from the projector at all times. Mount the projector in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition and out of direct sun light. Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. In the event of ﬁre, use sand, CO electrical ﬁre. Always have service performed on this projector by authorized Barco service personnel. Always insist on genuine Barco replacement parts. Never use non-Barco replacement parts as they may degrade the safety of this projector.

• Slots and openings in this equipment are p it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the projector too close to walls, or other similar surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

To prevent projector damage

• This projector has been designed for use with a speciﬁc lamp (house) type. See installation instructions for its correct type.

• The air ﬁlters of the projector must be cleaned or replaced on regular base (a "clean" booth would be monthly-minimum). Neglecting this could result in disrupting the air ﬂow inside the projector, causing overheating. Overheating may lead to the projector shutting down during operation.

• The projector must always be installed in a manner which ensures free ﬂow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of the hot air from its cooling system.

• In order to ensure that correct airﬂow is maintained, and that the projector complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the projector. If this does happen, switch off supply immediately. Do not operate the projector again until it has been checked by qualiﬁed service personnel.

• Do not block the projector cooling fans or free air movement around the projector. Loose papers or other objects may not be nearer to the projector than 10 cm (4") on any side.

• Do not use this equipment near water.

• Special care for Laser Beams: Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser equipment. Direct or indirect hitting of a laser beam on to the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices which case there is a loss of warranty.

• Never place the projector in direct sun light. Sun light on the lens can severely damage the Digital Mirror Devices case there is a loss of warranty.

Safety Data Sheets for Hazardous Chemicals

For safe handling information on chemical products, consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). SDSs are available upon request via safetydatasheets@barco.com.

1.3 High Brightness precautions: Hazard Distance (HD)

Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance measured from the projection lens at which the intensity or the energy per surface unit becomes lower than the applicable exposure limit on the cornea or on the skin. The light beam is considered (to be) unsafe for exposure if the distance from a person to the light source is less than the HD.

Restriction Zone (RZ) based on the HD

The HD depends on the amount of lumens produced by the projector and the type of lens installed. See next chapter"HD in function of the lens Throw Ratio (TR)", page 11.

To protect untrained end users (as cinema visitors, spectators) the installation shall comply with the following installation requirements: Operators shall control access to the beam within the hazard dista spectators’ eyes from being in the hazard distance. Radiation levels in excess of the limits will not be permitted at any point less than

2.0 meter (SH) above any surface upon which persons other than operators, performers, or employees are permitted to stand or less

than 1.0 meter (SW) lateral separation from any place where such pers behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual’s shoulders, within the HD.

These values are minimum values and are based on the guidance provided in IEC 62471-5:2015 section 6.6.3.5.

The installer and user must understand the risk and apply protective measures based upon the hazard distance as indicated on the label and in the user information. Installation method, separation height, barriers, detection system or other applicable control measure shall prevent hazardous eye access to the radiation within the hazard distance.

For example, projectors that have a HD greater than 1 m and emit light into an uncontrolled area where persons may be present should be positioned in accordance with “the ﬁxed projector installation” parameters, resulting in a HD that does not extend into the audience area unless the beam is at least 2.0 meter above the ﬂoor level. In environments where unrestrained behavior is reasonably foreseeable, the minimum separation height should be greater than or equal to 3.0 meter to prevent potential exposure, for example by an individual sitting on another individual’s shoulders, within the HD. Sufﬁciently large separation height may be achieved by mounting the image projector on the ceiling or through the use of physical barriers.

Based on national requirements, no person is allowed to enter the projected beam within the zone between the projection lens and the related hazard distance (HD). This shall be physically impossible by creating sufﬁcient separation height or by placing barriers. The minimum separation height takes into account the surface upon which persons other than operator, performers or employees are permitted to stand.

On image 1-2 a typical setup is displayed. It must be veriﬁed if these minimum requirements are met. If required a restricted zone (RZ) in the theater must be established. This can be done by using physical barrier, like a red rope as illustrated in image 1-2.

For LIPs (Laser Illuminated Projectors) installed in the USA market other restriction zone conditions apply.

Lip’s for installation in restrained environment (cinema theaters) shall be installed at height vertically above the ﬂoor such that the bottom plane of the hazard distance zone shall be no lower than 2.5 meters above the ﬂoor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 1 meter.

Lip’s for installations in unrestrained environment (large venues,..) shall be installed at a height vertically above the ﬂoor such that the bottom plane of the Hazard distance Zone shall be no lower than 3 meters above the ﬂoor. Horizontal clearance to the hazard distance zone shall be not less than 2.5 meters. Any human access horizontally to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, shall be restricted by barriers. If human access is possible in an unsupervised environment, the horizontal or vertical clearances shall be increased to prevent exposure to the hazard distance zone.

In addition for temporary installations (e.g.: rental and staging, lease, events …) the following requirements apply:

• This product can only be installed by Barco or sold or leased only to valid laser light show variance holders. In other words our installers are required to have an approved laser light show variance. Such installers may currently hold a valid variance for production of Class IIIb and IV laser light shows and/or for incorporation of the RG3 LIPs into their shows. Dealers and distributors are also required to obtain a valid laser light show variance.

• This product shall be located in such a way that all propagating beam paths within the Restriction Zone, and the audience can be directly observed at all times.

• Effects other than front or rear screen projections shall not be performed.

• Communication shall be maintained with other personnel assisting in surveillance of the LIP projection.

• In the event of any unsafe condition, immediately terminates (or designate the termination) of LIP projection light.

Install one or more readily accessible controls to immediately terminate LIP projection light. The power input at the projector side is considered as a reliable disconnect device. When required to switch off the projector, disconnect the power cord at the projector side. In case the power input at the projector side is not accessible (e.g. truss mount), the socket outlet supplying the projector shall be installed nearby the projector and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the ﬁ xed wiring.

Laser light shows can be requested via the FDA online eSubmitter portal or via FDA Form FDA Form 3147 referencing to Barco’s variance approval 2016-V-0144.

1.6 Important warnings concerning HDX ﬂight cases

Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting HDX rental ﬂight cases

• Stack maximum two (2) HDX rental ﬂight cases high. Never higher.

• Surface on which ﬂight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four wheels. The surface must also be able to support the load safely.

• Before stacking or transporting ﬂight cases, check the wheels and their ﬁxation screws for wear or defects.

• Before stacking or transporting ﬂight cases, check that the four lock handles on each ﬂight case are in good working order and locked securely.

• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper ﬂight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the ﬂight case below.

•Stackedﬂight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower ﬂight case must already be in its ﬁnal resting position before placing the second upon it.

• Never stack loaded ﬂight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each ﬂight case is rigidly strapped tight.

• In the event of a wheel breaking, ﬂight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.

• Use an appropriate forklift to raise ﬂight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

2. INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS

About this chapter

Read this chapter before installing the HDX projector. It contains important information concerning installation requirements for the projector, such as minimum and maximum allowed ambient temperature, humidity conditions, required safety area around the installed projector, required power net, etc.

Furthermore, careful consideration of things such as image size, ambient light level, projector placement and type of screen to use are critical to the optimum use of the projection system.

2.1 Installation requirements

Environment conditions

Table below summarizes the physical environment in which the HDX may be safely operated or stored.

Environment Operating Non-Operating

Ambient Temperature 10 °C (50 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F) -15°C (5°F) to 60°C (140°F)

Humidity 0% RH to 80% RH Non-condensed 0% RH to 90% RH Non-Condensed

Altitude -60 m (-197 Ft) to 3000 m (9843Ft) -60 m (-197 Ft) to 10000 m (32810 Ft)

Let the projector acclimatize after unpacking. Neglecting this may result in a startup failure of the Light Processor Unit.

Cooling requirements

The projector is fan cooled and must be installed with sufﬁcient space around the projector head, minimum 10 cm (4 inch) to ensure sufﬁcient air ﬂow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature, as measured at the projector air inlet , does not exceed +40°C (+104°F).

Clean air environment

A projector must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free ﬂow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.

Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been speciﬁcally designed for cleaning optical parts, never use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contaminants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.

2. Installation preparations

Main Power requirements

The HDX operates from a nominal mono phase power net with a separate earth ground PE.

Power requirements : 110-130V/200-240 V, 15A, 50-60Hz

The power cord required to connect the projector with the power net is delivered with the projector.

Projector weight

Do not underestimate the weight of the HDX. The projector weights about ±50 kg (±111 lb.) without lens. Be sure that the pedestal on which the projector has to be installed is capable of handling ﬁve (5) times the complete load of the system.

2.2 Unpacking the projector

What has to be done ?

Upon delivery, the projector is packed in a carton box upon a wooden pallet and secured with banding and fastening clips. Furthermore, to provide protection during transportation, the projector is surrounded with foam. Once t installation site, it needs to be removed from the carton box and wooden pallet in a safe manner without damaging the projector.

After unpacking let the projector acclimatize to a room temperature higher then 10°C (50°F) and lower then 40°C (104°F). Neglecting this may result in a start up failure of the Light Processor Unit.

3. Take out the foam rubber.

4. Take out the projector.

2. Installation preparations

Save the original shipping cardboard box and packing material. They will be necessary if you ever have to ship your projector. For m aximu m protection, repack your projector as it was originally packed at the factory.

A rubber foam inside a plastic bag is placed into the lens opening of the projector. It’s recommended to reuse this foam and plastic back each time you transport the projector. This to prevent intrusion of dust an d foreign particles.

The lens is delivered in a separate box.

2.3 Initial inspection

General

Before shipment, the projector was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the projector is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing material until the inspection is completed. If damage is found, ﬁle claim with carrier immediately. The Barco Sales and Service ofﬁce should be notiﬁed as soon as possible.

The packaging of the HDX is provided with a shock-watch label. If this shock-watch label was triggered (red colored at arrival) during transport, that indicates that the package was p ossibly roughly handled by the transport company. In this case, the instructions mentioned on the label, should be followed, which are: adding a note on the “bill of lading” and informing the transport company and the Barco sales and service ofﬁce as soon as p ossible.

Box content

After unpacking the projector it is recommended to check if all following items where included:

R5906070 HDX 4K 09/04/2018

The projector should be installed at right angles (horizontally and vertically) to the screen at a distance PD. Note the distance (A) between lens centre and table surface is slightly variable. This distance (A) is nominal 35 cm in case all feet are turned in completely and the vertical lens shift is set to zero (0).

On axis / off axis projection

The position of the projector with reference to the screen may also be different depending on the installation. Basically the projector can be positioned in On-Axis or Off-Axis conﬁ guration. On-Axis conﬁguration means that the projector is positioned so as to have the centre of the lens coinciding with the centre of the screen. Off-Axis projection is obtained by shifting the lens up, down, left or right. Several parameters can be calculated determining the position in any installation.

Formula to calculate the distance CD for On-Axis projection: CD=SH/2+B-A

R5906070 HDX 4K 09/04/2018

2. Installation preparations

Shift range

The lens can be shifted with respect to the DMD (P) which result in a shifted image on the screen (Off-Axis). A 100% shift means that the centre point of the projected image is shifted by half the screen size. In other words, the centre point of the projected image falls together with the outline of the image in an On-Axis projection. Due to mechanical and optical limitations it’s recommended to keep the shift values within the ﬁeld of view (F) as illustrated below. Within these shift ranges the projector and lens perform excellently. Conﬁguring the projector outside these shift ranges will result in a slight decline of image quality.

3.2 Remote control, protocol setup

About the used protocol

The protocol is the code send out by the remote control when a button is pressed. Depending on this code, the projector can decode the signals. The remote control can be used with two different protocols, RC5 and NEC. Depending on the projector to control the remote control can be switched between these protocols.

Which protocol to use

•TheNEC protocol has to be used for Barco projectors based on the Pulse platform: F70, F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, XDL, etc.

•TheRC5 protocol has to be used all other Barco projectors: HDX W, HDF W, HDX 2K, etc.

How to set

1. Remove the cover. For more info on how to remove, see "Remote control, battery installation", page 23.

2. Place the switch in the NEC position.

Image 3-4

Remark with RC5 protocol

Not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the legacy Barco RCU. Button pairs SHUTTER open/close and POWER on/off emit the same code (per pair) when in RC5 mode, because the legacy RCU’s only had 1 button for Shutter and 1 button for Standby.

3.3 Remote control, on/off button

Purpose of the remote control on/off button

The Pulse remote control unit has at the front side an on/off switch (reference 1 image 3-5). Switching off the remote control prevents that unwanted commands are send due to an accidental key press. Furthermore, switching the RCU off will extend the battery life time of the remote control.

To activate the remote control press the on/off button.

To deactivate the remote control press the on/off button again.

Default when (re)placing batteries, is “ON”.

WARNING: Only use TLD+ ZOOM lenses. Using other lenses can touch and damage the mechanics of the

build-in Act uator! This can result in loud rattling noises and a damaged Actuator.

Limited amount of available lenses

In comparison to the regular HDX, the HDX 4k projectors have an actuator built in them to help provide a clear 4k image. This extra device means that less space is available in the projector for lenses, thus causing a more restricted amount of lenses that can be used. Using lenses other than the lenses mentioned in this chapter may damag noises in the process and possibly a distorted image.

Due to the similar look to the “regular” 2k HDX projector, an extra warning label has been added on the lens holder to raise awareness of this limit.

5.6 Scheimpﬂug adjustment

What has to be done ?

The lens holder has to be adjusted so that the “sharp focus plane” of the projected image falls together with the plane of the screen (Fp1→Fp2). This is achieved by changing the distance between the DMD plane and the lens plane (Lp1→Lp2). The closer the lens plane comes to the DMD plane the further the sharp focus plane will be. It can sometimes happen that you won’t be able to get a complete focused image on the screen due to a tilt (or swing) of the lens plane with respect to the DMD plane. This is also known as Scheimpﬂug’s law. To solve this the lens plane must be placed parallel with the DMD plane. This can be achieved by turning the lens holder to remove the tilt (or swing) between lens plane and DMD plane (Lp3→Lp4).

Lp1

Lp2

DMD

Image 5-22 Scheimpﬂug principle

Scheimpﬂug principle

The "plane of sharp focus" can be changed so that any plane can be brought into sharp focus. When the DMD plane and lens plane are parallel, the plane of sharp focus will also be parallel to these two planes. If, however, the lens plane is tilted with respect to the DMD plane, the plane of sharp focus will also be tilted according to geometrical and optical properties. The DMD plane, the principal lens plane and the sharp focus plane will intersect in a line below the projector for downward lens tilt.

CAUTION: In the HDX 4K, the Scheimpﬂ ug mechanism is positioned close to the actuator, which helps pro-

vide the 4k UHD images. To a void damaging the actuator during Scheimpﬂug adjustment, it is important to have the projector be in 4k UHD mode during the adjustment. This because the actuator will vibrate w hile in 4k UHD mode.

If one of the Scheimphlug nuts would touch the vibrating actuator during adjustment, you will hear a loud rattling noise. If heard, im med iately turn the nut counterclockwise until you can no longer hear the noise.

Remember and mark this position, as this wi achieve without damaging the actuator.

6.4 Input source connections – Quad combo input Mark II

About the Quad combo input Mark II

Due to demand from the market, Barco has created a second generation of the Input board to support 12G input and throughput on the SDI connectors. From the release of this board onward, the Quad combo input will be supported and will be the standard input board in every Input & Communication Unit,

The updates on this new board include the following compared to its predecessor:

• SDI Input A now also supports 12G input signals.

• SDI Input C now also functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on Input A.

• SDI Input D now also functions as a loop-through output for any signal placed on Input B.

• HDBaseT Input 1 now also supports network connectivity.

SDI Input & output – How does it work?

When connecting an SDI source to the projector and the signal is HD or 3G, you can choose any of the four input connectors.

When connecting multiple projectors with the same signal, you can connect the signal as follows:

• Connect the source signal to Input A or B of the ﬁrst projector.

• If the source signal is connected to Input A, connect Input/Output C to the Input of the following projector.

• If the source signal is connected to Inpu

• Continue in the same fashion until all projectors are connected.

When connecting a 12G SDI source to the projector, you can only connect that source to input A.

Only Input A accepts 12G SDI signals . Whil B and connect that source to another projector in line (using Input/Output D), this ﬁ rst projector itself w ill not be able to process the 12G signal.

Since there will be projectors in the ﬁeld that have the Mark I Input Board and others that have the Mark II input board, it is important to know the difference between the two variants.

While there are several minor and barely noticeable differences between the two boards, there is one real visual aid to tell the two variants apart. There are visual markings added on the Mark II Input board, marking which connector supports 12G and which only supports 3G.

RS232

An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the character nication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-SUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard s ponent connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition zone.

RS422

An EIA serial digital interface standard that speciﬁes the electrical characteristics of balanced (differential) voltage, digital interface circuits. This standard is usable over longer distances than RS-232. This signal governs the asynchronous transmission of computer data at speeds of up to 920,000 bits per second. It is also used as the serial port standard for Macintosh computers. When the difference between the 2 lines is < - 0.2V that equals with a logical ’0’. When the difference is > +0.2V that equals to a logical ’1’..

Projector address

Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.

Broadcast address

Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that broadcast address.

8.6.1 Controlling the projector

Why a projector address?

As more than one projector can be installed in a room, each projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. Therefore each projector has its own address.

Set up an individual Projector Address

The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.

Projector controlling

When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:

• with the RCU: only for addresses between 1 and 31.

Broadcast Address

Every projector has a broadcast (common) address ’0’ or ’1’. The default address is ’0’.

The choice between ’0’ and ’1’ can be selected in the GUI: “System Settings” → “C omm unication” →“ IR Control “.

Placing new batteries in the remote cont

rol or plugging the remote to a projector via a cable will automatically

reset the address back to its default value ’0’.

11.2 Adjusting the sharpness

About adjusting the sharpness

The sharpness adjustment ampliﬁes the high frequency components in the picture. This means that by increase the sharpness, the picture will be perceived as sharper, and if decreased, the picture will be perceived as more blurry.

Increasing the sharpness will have the best effect in high contrast images, eg a table with text and borders.

In a natural picture, high sharpness can be perceived as noise, as all details in the picture will be ampliﬁed.

Available range: -2 to 8.

Default value: 0
