Some settings are associated with
the current input and the value of
the Image Mode setting (Bright,
Presentation or Video). The
projector automatically stores values
of such settings to reuse when an
Input / Image Mode combination
is selected again. For example, if
you increase the Contrast value
while on the DVI-D input with Image
Mode set to Bright, the next time
you use the DVI-D input with Image
Mode set to Bright, the projector
will automatically set the same
Contrast value.
Settings NOT associated with an

Gamma
Choose a de-gamma curve from 1.0, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35, 2.5 and S Curve.
Used correctly, the Gamma setting can improve contrast while maintaining good
details for blacks and whites.
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it is difcult to see details in dark
areas, lower the Gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast while
maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and
unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
Dynamic Black
Set to On to allow for increased contrast in darker scenes by modulating the light
source.

• 3D Format — Off, Auto, Side by Side, Top and Bottom and
Frame Sequential.
• DLP Link — On (if you are using 3D glasses that can utilise the
DLP Link® signal embedded in the image) and Off
• Eye Swap — Normal and Reverse (set to Rever se if the left- and
right-eye images are displayed in the wrong order)
• 3D 24Hz Display — set to 96Hz or 144Hz depending on the
source. This setting is disabled unless a 24Hz 3D input is detected.
• Sync Reference — set to Internal or External as required.
• Sync Delay — this setting is only available if Sync Reference is
set to External.
Set a value between 0 and 100 ms.
The 3D Swap setting explained
The outgoing 3D frames are in pairs - the dominant frame being
presented rst. You can determine which frame should be the dominant
one.
By convention the default setting is Left.

3D types
In most situations you can use the Auto setting to have the projector automatically detect the format.
Otherwise, consider the notes below to help you set up the 3D input manually.
The following 3D formats are supported:
• Frame Packing
This format will be detected, re-synchronised, frame-multiplied and displayed at 144 Hz with the left eye /
right eye dominance automatically extracted from the video data.
• Top and Bottom
Sets the projector to reformat the video frames and map them to the display with the left eye / right eye
dominance automatically extracted from the video data.
• Side by Side (Half): interlaced and progressive, 50 and 60Hz
The side-by-side image will be de-interlaced (if appropriate), resized and then sequentially displayed at
100 or 120 Hz. The left eye / right eye dominance will be automatically extracted from the video data.
• Frame Sequential
An example of Frame Sequential would be 60Hz (30 frames per eye in Left-Right sequence (L1, R1,
L2, R2…) with 2x Frame Rate Multiplication, resulting in a displayed sequence at 120 Hz (L1, R1, L1,
R1, L2, R2, L2, R2…). For sequential 3D, the projector will generate an output sync, but it may then be
necessary to manually reset the dominance each time the player is started.

Frame rate multiplication in 3D images
When displaying a low frame rate 3D video, the projector
multiplies the frame rate to obtain a icker-free image. For
example, a 60Hz frame rate is doubled to 120 Hz, or a 48 Hz
frame rate is tripled to 144 Hz.
Frame rate multiplication is an automatic process. It occurs in
the background and cannot be modied by the user.

THE DMD™
The DMD™
A DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™) is a true digital light modulator which utilises an array of up to 2.3 million moving aluminium mirrors,
with each one representing a pixel in the nal projected image. The outermost micromirrors in the array remain inactive (pond of mirrors)
and are not used in constructing the image.

THE DMD™
Depending on the voltage polarity applied, each mirror will either tilt to the left to produce a bright pixel or to the right for a dark pixel. When
light is applied to the complete DMD™, only the light redirected from a mirror tilting to the left is projected.

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specied by their diagonal size (D). When dealing
with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more
convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes into width and
height, at various aspect ratios.
2.35:1 (Scope)
W = D x 0.92 H = D x 0.39
1.85:1
W = D x 0.88 H = D x 0.47
16:9 = 1.78:1
W = D x 0.87 H = D x 0.49
1.66:1 (Vista)
W = D x 0.86 H = D x 0.52
16:10 = 1.6:1 (native aspect ratio for WUXGA projectors)
W = D x 0.85 H = D x 0.53
H = height

It is important that your screen is of sufcient height and
width to display images at all the aspect ratios you are
planning to use.
Use the conversion chart to check that you are able
to display the full image on your screen. If you have
insufcient height or width, you will have to reduce the
overall image size in order to display the full image on
your screen.

SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Positioning the screen and projector
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a at surface
perpendicular to the oor. The bottom of the screen should
be 1.2 m (4 feet) above the oor and the front row of the
audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see
the top of the screen.
The distance between the front row of the audience and
the screen should be at least twice the screen height and
the distance between the back row and the screen should
be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen
viewing area should be within a 60° range from the face of
the screen.
Notes
The projector should be installed
as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be
easily accessible, so that it can
be disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least 30
cm (12 in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall,
and 10 cm (4 in) on all other
sides.
Do not install the projector close
to anything that might be affected
by its operational heat, for
instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.

POSITIONING THE IMAGE
Positioning The Image
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side,
and adjust the image using the Lens shift feature (known as rising and falling front) to maintain a geometrically correct image.

Any single adjustment outside the ranges specied on the following page may result in an unacceptable level of distortion, particularly at the
corners of the image, due to the image passing through the periphery of the lens optics.
If the lens is to be shifted in two directions combined, the maximum range without distortion will be somewhat less, as can be seen in the
illustrations below.

FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED
Frame Rates And Pulldowns Explained
Interlaced and progressive scan
A progressive scan is a method of updating the image by drawing all the lines of each frame in a sequence. In contrast, interlaced
video alternately scans odd and even lines. In old analog TV interlacing was commonly used as a way of doubling the refresh rate without
consuming extra bandwidth.
The following artifacts are common with interlaced video:
• edge tear (combing)
The image lands between two elds and blurs. This is commonly observed when viewing rapid lateral movement.
• aliasing (stair-stepping)
The texture of the image becomes populated with unrealistic patterns. Aliasing occurs because of differences between the original frame
rate and the destination format.
• twitter
The image shimmers, for example when showing rolling credits. This happens when the image contains thin horizontal lines that only
appear in one eld.
Frame rates of image sources
Original analog lms are made at 24 fps and the whole frame is projected at once. To eliminate icker and create an impression of
continuous movement, the projector blades divide the images so that the viewer sees 48 frames per second.
Interlaced video scans odd lines, then even. Two elds are blended into one image. NTSC video (60i) is 29.97 fps, or 59.94 elds per
second.
24p video is progressive but without the benet of projector blades dividing the images, so it looks jumpier on playback than lm. 24p is the
optimal format for projects that are nished on lm.
30p is optimal for projects nished on video. It has fewer strobing issues than 24p in video playback.

FRAME RATES AND PULLDOWNS EXPLAINED
Pulldowns - conversion into destination formats
Pulldowns are a method of converting a 24p source into a different destination format by adding extra frames to the source.
2:3 (normal) pulldown
This method is used to convert a 24p source (lm) into a 60i destination (NTSC video) by adding two extra elds for every four frames,
effectively increasing the frame rate to 30 fps. The frame is split into elds and then two elds are repeated for every four original frames as
shown in the illustration below.

2:3:3:2 (advanced) pulldown
This method is very similar to the normal pulldown. Unlike the normal pulldown method, the resulting 30 fps video sequence contains only one
frame containing elds from two different source frames.
The advantage of this method is that it is easier to reverse, if necessary.

Appendix D: Glossary Of Terms
1080p
An HDTVresolution which corresponds to 1920 x 1080 pixels (a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9).
3D active glasses
Wireless battery-powered glasses with LCD shutters. Synchronization information is communicated to the glasses by means of an infrared
(IR) or radio frequency (RF) emitter which is connected to the Sync Out terminal on the projector. IR or RF pulses are transmitted by the
emitter to signal when the left eye and right eye images are being displayed. The glasses incorporate a sensor which detects the emitter’s
signal and synchronises the left and right eye shutters with the projected image.
3D passive glasses
Passive glasses do not require a power source to work. Light with left-hand polarisation can pass through the left lens and light with right-
hand polarisation can pass through the right-hand lens. These glasses are used in conjunction with another device which polarizes the image,
such as a ZScreen.
Adjust lines
A pattern applied to the image where its edge is to be blended with another image. Adjust lines are used to position the projectors in the array
during the edge blend process.
Notes
Anamorphic lens
A special lens which, when used with the TheaterScopeaspect ratio, allows watching 2.35:1 content packed in a 16:9 source.
Aperture
The opening of the lens that determines the angle through which light travels to come into focus.

APPENDIX D: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Aspect ratio
The proportional relationship between the width and the height of the projected image. It is represented by two numbers separated by a colon,
indicating the ratio of image width and height respectively: for example, 16:9 or 2.35:1.
Not to be confused with resolution.
Blanking (projection)
The ability to intentionally turn off, that is, set to black, areas around the edges of the projected image. It is sometimes referred to as “curtains”
since it can be used to blank an area of image that literally falls on the curtains at the side of the screen in a movie theater. Usually no image
resizing or geometric correction takes place and the “blanked” part of the image is lost.
Not to be confused with horizontal and vertical blanking (video signal).
Blanking (video signal)
The section of the video signal where there is no active video data.
Not to be confused with blanking (projection).
Blend region
The area of the image that is to overlap with another image in an edge blend setup. Sometimes called overlapping region.
Brightness (electronic control)
A control which adds a xed intensity value to every pixel in the display, moving the entire range of displayed intensities up or down, and is
used to set the black point in the image (see Contrast). In Component Video signals, brightness is the same as luminance.
Notes
Brightness (optical)
Describes how ‘bright’ an image that is projected onto a screen appears to an observer.

Chrominance
Also known as ‘C’, this is the component, or pair of components, of a Component Video signal which describes color difference information.
Color difference
In Component Video signals, the difference between specied colors and the luminance component. Color difference is zero for
monochrome images.
Color gamut
The spectrum of color available to be displayed.
Color temperature
The position along the black body curve on the chromaticity diagram, normally quoted in Kelvin. It takes into account the preset values for
color balance in the service set-up to take up the variations in the prism. The projector allows you to adjust this temperature (i.e. adjust the
picture color temperature).
Component video
A three-wire or four-wire video interface that carries the signal split into its basic RGB components or luminance (brightness) and two-color-
difference signals (YUV) and synchronization signals.

Crop
Remove part of the projected image.
Alternatively, t an image into a frame with a different aspect ratio by removing part of the image. The image is resized so that either its
length or its width equals the length or width of the frame, while the other dimension has moved outside the frame; the excess area is then cut
out.
Dark time
The time inserted between frames when using 3D active glasses, to avoid ghosting caused by switching time between left and right eye.
DDC (Display Data Channel)
A communications link between the source and projector. DDC is used on the HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs. The link is used by the source to
read the EDID stored in the projector.
Deinterlacing
The process of converting interlaced video signals into progressive ones.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol)
A network protocol that is used to congure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network, for example by allocating an IP
address.
Notes
DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device™)
The optical tool that transforms the electronic signal from the input source into an optical image projected on the screen. The DMD™ of a
projector has a xed resolution, which affects the aspect ratio of the projected image.
A Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) consists of moving microscopic mirrors. Each mirror, which acts as a pixel, is suspended between
two posts by a thin torsion hinge. It can be tilted to produce either a bright or dark pixel.
Edge blend
A method of creating a combined image by blending the adjoining edges of two or more individual images.

A progressive digital television system with a lower resolution than HDTV.
Field
In interlaced video, a part of the image frame that is scanned separately. A eld is a collection of either all the odd lines or all the even lines
within the frame.
Frame
One of the many still images displayed in a sequence to create a moving picture. A frame is made of horizontal lines of pixels. For example,
a 1920x1080 frame consists of 1080 lines, each containing 1920 pixels. In analog video frames are scanned one at a time (progressive
scanning) or split into fields for each eld to be scanned separately (interlaced video).
Notes
Frame rate
The number of frames shown per second (fps). In TV and video, a frame rate is the rate at which the display device scans the screen to
“draw” the frame.
Frame rate multiplication
To stop low frame rate 3D images from ickering, frame rate multiplication can be used, which increases the displayed frame rate by two or
three times.

sets.
Ghosting
An artifact in 3D image viewing. Ghosting occurs when an image intended for one eye is partially seen by the other eye.
Ghosting can be removed by optimizing the dark time and sync delay.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
An encryption scheme used to protect video content.

APPENDIX D: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Interlacing
A method of updating the image. The screen is divided in two fields, one containing every odd horizontal line, the other one containing the
even lines. The elds are then alternately updated. In analog TV interlacing was commonly used as a way of doubling the refresh rate without
consuming extra bandwidth.
Interleaving
The alternation between left and right eye images when displaying 3D.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
An electronic component that emits light.
Letterboxing
Black margins at the top and bottom of the image. Letterboxing appears when a wider image is packed into a narrower frame without
changing the original aspect ratio.
Lumen
A photometric unit of radiant power. For projectors, it is normally used to specify the total amount of emitted visible light.
Luminance
Also known as ‘Y’, this is the part of a Component Video signal which affects the brightness, i.e. the black and white part.
Notes
Noise
Electrical interference displayed on the screen.
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)
The United States standard for television - 525 lines transmitted at 60 interlacedfields per second.

Pillarboxing
Black margins at the left and right of the image. Pillarboxing appears when a narrower image is packed into a wider frame without changing
the aspect ratio.
Pixel
Short for Picture Element. The most basic unit of an image. Pixels are arranged in lines and columns. Each pixel corresponds to a micromirror
within the DMD™; resolutions reect the number of pixels per line by the number of lines. For example, a 1080p projector contains 1080
lines, each consisting of 1920 pixels.
Pond of mirrors
Area around the periphery of the DMD™ containing inactive mirrors. The pond of mirrors may cause artifacts, for example during the edge
blending process.
