Component
When using RGsB or RGBS:
• Set Component Colour Space in the Setup/Input
Conguration menu to RGB.
• Set Component Sync Type in the Setup/Input
Conguration menu to Auto, except when the projector
has problems selecting between 3 Wire (RGsB) and 4 Wire
(RGBS).
When using YPbPr:
• Set Component Colour Space in the Setup/Input
Conguration menu to YPbPr.
2
DVI
This input has a DVI-I connector, which can receive either
analog (DVI-A) or digital (DVI-D) signal from a compatible
source. Set DVI-I Port in the Setup/Input Conguration
menu to choose between Analog and Digital.
3
HDMI
Receives digital signal from HDMI-compliant devices. The
audio from the HDMI source is available on the SPDIF output.
4
S/PDIF
This is a digital output. Compatible audio sample packets on
the HDMI input stream are decoded and output on the S/PDIF
connector.
Notes
For a complete listing of pin

3G-SDI
Uses a BNC connector to receive uncompressed,
unencrypted digital video. If two video streams are
being transmitted, set 3G Level B Stream in the Setup/
Input Conguration menu to choose one of them.
8
VGA
Receives analog signal from a computer. When using this
input, it is best to use a fully wired VGA cable to connect the
source to the projector. This will allow the source to determine
the projector’s capabilities via DDC and show an optimized
image. Such cables can be identied as they have a blue
connector shell.
Use Auto Setup in the Image/VGA Setup menu.

EDID on the DVI and VGA inputs
If you are using a computer DVI card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically congure itself to suit the
projector.
Otherwise refer to the documentation supplied with the source to manually set the resolution to the DMD™ resolution of the projector or the
nearest suitable setting. Switch off the source, connect to the projector, then switch the source back on again.
Using HDMI/DVI switchers with the projector
When using an HDMI/DVI source switcher with the projector, it is important to set the switcher so that it passes the projector EDID through to
the source devices. If this is not done, the projector may not be able to lock to the source or display the source correctly as its video output
timings may not be compatible with those of the projector. Sometimes this is called transparent, pass-through or clone mode. See your
switcher’s manual for information on how to set this mode.
Additionally, sources which use HDCP encryption may not display properly when connected to the projector via a switcher. Refer to the
switcher’s manual for more information.

Edge Blend menu
Overview
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.
As it is not possible for any projector to produce an
absolute black, any ‘black’ areas in the overlapped edges
may appear slightly less dark than those in the rest of the
image. Black Level Uplift can be used to counteract this
effect, by raising the black level of the rest of the image.
The amount of uplift required will be either x2 or x4,
depending on how many images are overlapped, as shown
in the examples on this page.
Image brightness changes from one point to another,
within the same blended region. If the same level of black
level uplift is applied throughout the blended region, the
overlapping edges may still be visible on the screen.
Therefore, brightness in these areas is decreased
gradually, using an s-curve factor. S-Curve Value is used
to control the steepness of the decrease.

maximum number of projectors is 4 x 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.
Example
The illustration shows an array of sixteen projectors. Array Width and Ar ray
Height of all projectors have been set up as follows:
• Array Width = 4
• Array Height = 4
Array H Position and Array V Position of each projector have been set up to

S-Curve Value (continued)
When images overlap, the area of overlap receives light from all overlapping sources. Without S-Curve, the overlapping edges would be
brighter than the rest of the image, as shown in Fig. 1.
If two reciprocal s-curves are used to control the amount of light from each source in the overlapping region, the total amount of light in the
region would remain constant, as shown in Fig. 2.

Black Level Uplift
Overlapping edges may appear lighter than the rest
of the image. Counteract this effect by raising black

required will be either x2 or x4, depending on how
many images are overlapped.
The following example shows a segment with
overlapping edges on all sides.

This region is not overlapped. Black level
should be raised by the maximum overlap

Use this to correct for stray light from the pond of mirrors, the DMD’s inactive outermost mirrors.
In the example below, the blended image comes from two projectors, 1 and 2. Both images
have black level uplift applied in their unblended regions; as a result, artifacts 3 and 4 have
emerged at the edges where the black level uplift region of one projector overlaps the pond of mirrors
of the other.
To remove the artifacts, you need to slightly reduce the size of the black level uplift region of each
projector so it does not overlap the pond of mirrors of the other projector.

Blending images from multiple projectors
The following procedure explains how to set up an array of projectors and how to blend the images together.
Before you start
Position the projectors
Ensure that all projectors are in good working order.
Position the projectors so that they are within the required throw distance range. Position the screen where it will remain during operation.
In the initial stages of the procedure you will be using test patterns, therefore it is not necessary to connect the input at this stage. However,
you need to make sure that you are able to connect the inputs without moving the projectors.
Control the projectors
You can control the projectors individually by using:
• their respective control panels, or
• a dedicated remote control for each projector, or
• a single remote control for all projectors. To do so, you need to assign a different IR address for each projector.
Consider connecting the projectors in a LAN network and using the Projector Controller application to monitor the projectors and change
settings on the whole array at once.
Notes
For information about changing
the IR address of a projector, see
Setting up an IR address further in
this guide.
The Projector Controller software
is available for download from the
Digital Projection website, free of
charge.

Rev E March 2014
Edge Blend procedure
1. Align the projectors as they will be used in the array.
Each projector should be perpendicular to the screen, or as close as possible. Ideally, each projector should allow for a minimum of 20%
screen overlap where it is adjoined by other projectors. Overlaps should be the same in size across the array.
How to align the projectors:
• Ideally, all alignment should be achieved by physically moving the projectors and by using the Lens Shift and Zoom functions.
• If necessary, use Image > V Position and H Position.
• Do not use geometry corrections.
Example: 1080p projector overlapped on all
sides
1
Overlap to the left
This overlap takes 20% of the image width, or 384
pixels.
2
Overlap to the top
This overlap takes 20% of the image height, or
216 pixels.
3
Area without overlaps
This area is also called unblended region.

Edge Blend procedure (continued)
2. Ensure that all projectors are color-matched.
If necessary, use the White Field test pattern and test the light output of each projector.
Ensure the Color > Gamut setting has the same value across the array.
Use Lamps > Lamp Power to compensate for different lamps. Even identical lamps change their light output with age and use.
3. Enter the correct gamma setting.
Adjust the gamma setting using the Image > Gamma control. For video sources, such as Blu-ray or DVD, use a value of 2.2; for
computer graphics use 2.4.
The images may still look slightly different at this stage. It is OK to continue.

4. Set up the array.
For each projector, open the Edge Blend menu and enter Array Width, Array Height, Ar ray H Position and Array V Position.
Array Width and Ar ray Height should be identical for all projectors. These settings dene the size of the array. For example, a two-by-
two array will have the following values:
• Array Width = 2
• Array Height = 2
The top left projector will have Array H Position = 0 and Array V Position = 0.

6. Uplift black levels (optional).
If you do not need to uplift the black levels, skip
to step 8, Blend the images.
Switch all projectors to the Black Field test pattern.
The level of black will differ across the image as
shown in Fig. 1. Uplift the black levels using Edge
Blend > Black Level Uplift.
How to uplift black levels
Regions may be overlapped by two or four
projectors. An array will always contain regions
overlapped by at least two projectors.
• x2 overlaps
If your array only contains two-projector
overlaps, you need to uplift the black levels in
the unblended regions – the exact value will
depend on the projector, environment, etc.
Do not uplift black levels in the overlapping
region(s).
• x2 and x4 overlaps
Sometimes a region is overlapped by four
projectors. For example, in a two-by-two
segment setup, Array Width = 2 and
Array Height = 2, the region in the middle is
overlapped by all four projectors (as shown in
Fig. 1). If your array contains such regions, you
need to uplift black levels roughly four times in
the unblended regions, and roughly double in
the regions overlapped by two projectors.
31 2
1
Unblended region
This region is not overlapped. Black level should be raised by the
maximum overlap occurring within the image, therefore the value of
Black Level Uplift should be the highest here.
2
x2 overlap
This section of the image is overlapped by two projectors, therefore the
correct amount of
Black Level Uplift should be roughly half the value of
uplift within the unblended region.
3
x4 overlap
This part of the image is overlapped by four projectors, therefore
Black
Level Uplift should not be applied.

7. Adjust uplift edges (optional).
This step is necessary if you
have uplifted the black levels
in the previous step.
During the black level uplift
process, brighter lines appear on
the edges of the uplifted regions.
This is due to the inactive area
around the periphery of the DMD,
also known as
pond of mirrors 1.
To remove these edges, use the
Edge Blend > Reduce Black
Level Uplift Width settings for
each projector individually. Enter
X and Y corrections for each part
of the image to achieve this.
The edges of the uplift area are brighter due to light from the pond of mirrors

8. Blend the images.
Set Edge Blend > Blending to On for
each projector to activate s-curves in the
blend regions.
Once blending is activated, use test
patterns to detect irregularities within the
blend and to correct them.
What test patterns to use
• Use White Field (recommended)
and/or Grey H Bars, if you are
blending horizontally aligned images,
and Grey V Bars, if the images are
vertically aligned.
What irregularities to look for
• The blend region might be darker
than the rest of the image 1.
How to correct
• Adjust the Edge Blend > S-Curve
Value setting until the blend region
is the same as the rest of the image.

9. Set up segmentation (optional).
If you are feeding the same source into all the projectors and aim to have each projector reproduce a segment of the source, you can use
the Edge Blend > Segmentation function, or you can use an external processor to control the segments.
To use the Segmentation function:
1. On each projector, set Edge Blend > Segmentation to On.
2. Test with the source. If necessary, enter further corrections as described in steps 6, 7 and 8 above.
Bear in mind that using the Segmentation function brings a loss of resolution, as shown below:

To assign an IR address for the projector,
• Open the OSD, access Setup > System and select IR Address.
To assign IR address for the remote:
1. Press and hold the ADDR button on the remote.
2. Press two number buttons sequentially to enter the address. For numbers less than 10,
use a leading zero.
3. Release the ADDR key.
The transmit indicator on the remote will ash twice to conrm the setting.

Introduction
The projector can be controlled by using an external control system or a PC via an RS232 or LAN interface, using a terminal-emulation
program.
Network setup
1. Connect the projector to a LAN network.
2. Open the Setup > Network menu and edit network settings. The default IP address is 192.168.0.100 and the TCP port number is 7000.
Serial Port setup
• Baud rate 38,400 bps
• Data length 8 bits
• Stop bits one
• Parity none
• Flow control none
Notes
For details on connecting the
projector to an RS232 or LAN
network, see Control Connections
in the Connection Guide.
For details on changing network
settings, see Network in the
Operating Guide.

Simplied protocol commands
Commands are used to simulate menu operations and determine the settings of the projector, and use the following format:
• All commands consist of ASCII text strings starting with an asterisk and ending with an ASCII Carriage Return character
(code 13):
*command operator <value>
• The <command> string determines which setting the command will affect.
• Spaces are required before the operator and before the value.
• The <operator> string can take one of the following formats:
Operator type <operator> Description
Set
= <value>
Makes the setting take the <value>.
Get
?
Asks what the current value is.
The value is returned as an ASCII text string.
Execute Performs an action. No operator is entered for this type of command.
Examples
*aspect.ratio = 4
sets the aspect ratio to TheaterScope
*aspect.ratio ? asks what is the current aspect ratio
*lens.stop commands the projector to stop any lens movement that is currently in progress
*aspect.ratio=4 is an invalid instruction because of the missing spaces before the operator and the value
