Set the slider as required to improve the quality of the image.
• Gain and Lift
Select to access Gain and Lift controls.
Gamma SDR / HDR
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 dicult 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.
Choose a de-gamma setting from AUTO, SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) or HDR
(High Dynamig Range)
For SDR Gamma, choose a de-gamma curve from 2.2 - 2.8
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a new form of gamma developed to create more
realistic experience when viewing images delivered using this format, such as
scenes with bright sunlight. HDR is not device or installation independent. HDR
content will come with a recommended brightness regardless of screen size. For
best results as a guideline the following screens sizes are suggested.
HDR options should only be used with media players and sources equiped with
HDR and HDR content.

SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
Screen Requirements
Fitting the image to the DMD™
The projector supports 8K, 4K and Ultra HD formats and is able to achieve 2K and 1080p via frame doubling.
2K and frame doubled 1080p will not utilize the full width of the DMD™, resulting in pillarboxing, as shown in the illustration.
true 4K (also pixel doubled 2K) = 4096 pixels
8K (also pixel doubled 4K) = 7680 pixels
UHD (also pixel doubled 1080p) = 3840 pixels
Notes

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.
Shifting the lens up (rising front)
Notes
Whenever possible, position the
projector so that the lens is centered
for the highest quality image.

Digital Projection INSIGHT Laser 8K Series
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.

ASPECT RATIOS EXPLAINED
Aspect Ratios Explained
The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on:
• the DMD™ resolution, which is 4K with a 4096 x 2160 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of approximately 1.9:1.
• the aspect ratio of the input signal, which is 1.9:1 for 4K and 2K images, or 1.78:1 for 8K, 4K-UHD or 1080p images.
The 4K and 2K resolutions have a slightly wider aspect ratio. 8K, 4K-UHD and scaled 1080p do not ll the width of the DMD™, so they
appear centered, with pillarboxing at the sides, as shown in the illustration.

APPENDIX E: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Appendix E: Glossary Of Terms
Below is a general glossary of terms. Some terms may not be applicable to this projector.
1080p
An HDTV resolution which corresponds to 1920 x 1080 pixels (a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9).
4K
A 4K resolution which corresponds to 4096 x 2160 pixels (a widescreen aspect ratio of 1.89:1).
4K-UHD
A 4K-UHD resolution which corresponds to 3840 x 2160 pixels (a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9).
8K
A 8K resolution which corresponds to 7860 x 4320 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.
Notes
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 righthand 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.

APPENDIX E: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Anamorphic lens
A special lens which, when used with the TheaterScope aspect 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.
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 o, 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).
Notes
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).
Brightness (optical)
Describes how ‘bright’ an image that is projected onto a screen appears to an observer.

APPENDIX E: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Color gamut
1
2
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).
Contrast (electronic control)
1
Throw distance
The adjustment of the white point of the image without aecting the black
point. This increases the intensity range of the displayed image.
2
Screen width
Contrast (optical)
The intensity dierence between the darkest and lightest areas of the screen.
Crop
Remove part of the projected image.
Alternatively, t an image into a frame with a dierent 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.
Notes
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(DynamicHostCongurationProtocol)
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.
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 aects 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.
Edge tear
An artifact observed in interlaced video where the screen appears to be split horizontally. Edge tears appear when the video feed is out of
sync with the refresh rate of the display device.
Notes
EDID(ExtendedDisplayIdenticationData)
Information stored in the projector that can be read by the source.
EDID is used on the HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs, allowing the source to automatically congure to the optimum display settings.
EDTV(EnhancedDenitionTelevision)
A progressive digital television system with a lower resolution than HDTV.

APPENDIX E: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
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).
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.
Gamma
A nonlinear operation used to code and decode luminance. It originates from the Cathode Ray Tube technology used in legacy television
sets.
Notes
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.

Hertz (Hz)
Cycles per second.
Horizontal Scan Rate
The rate at which the lines of the incoming signal are refreshed. The rate is set by the horizontal synchronization from the source and
measured in Hertz.
Hs + Vs
Horizontal and vertical synchronization.
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.
Notes
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

Area around the periphery of the DMD™ containing inactive mirrors. The pond of mirrors may cause artifacts, for example during the edge
blending process.
Notes
Primary colors
Three colors any two of which cannot be mixed to produce the third. In additive color television systems the primary colors are red, green and
blue.
Progressive scanning
A method of updating the image in which the lines of each frame are drawn in a sequence, without interlacing.

Pulldown
The process of converting a 24 fps lm footage to a video frame rate (25 fps for PAL/SECAM, 30 fps for NTSC) by adding extra frames. DP
projectors automatically carry out reverse pulldown whenever possible.
Resolution
The number of pixels in an image, usually represented by the number of pixels per line and the number of lines (for example, 1920 x 1200).
RGB (Red, Green and Blue)
An uncompressed Component Video standard.
Scope
An aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
Smooth Picture
A feature that can display a higher resolution source than the native resolution of the projector without loosing any pixel data.
Synchronization
A timing signal used to coordinate an action.
Notes
Test pattern
A still image specially prepared for testing a projection system. It may contain various combinations of colors, lines and geometric shapes.
Throw distance
The distance between the screen and the projector.
Throw ratio
The ratio of the throw distance to the screen width.

TRC (Throw ratio correction)
A special number used in calculating throw distances and throw ratios when the image does not ll the width of the DMD™.
TRC is the ratio of the DMD™ aspect ratio to the image source aspect ratio:
DMD™ aspect ratio
TRC =
Source aspect ratio
TRC is only used in calculations if it is greater than 1.
Vertical Scan Rate
The rate at which the frames of the incoming signal are refreshed. The rate is set by the vertical synchronization from the source and
measured in Hertz.
Vignetting
Optical cropping of the image caused by the components in the projection lens. This can happen if too much oset is applied when
positioning the image using the lens mount.
ZScreen
A special kind of light modulator which polarizes the projected image for 3D viewing. It normally requires that images are projected onto a
silver screen. The ZScreen is placed between the projector lens and screen. It changes the polarization of the projected light and switches
between left- and right-handed circularly polarized light at the eld rate.
Further information about lens osets can be found in Positioning The Image > Maximum oset range.
