EDID on the DisplayPort, HDMI, and HDbaseT inputs
If you are using a computer graphics card or another source that obeys the EDID protocol, the source will automatically configure itself to suit the capability of 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 DisplayPort/ HDMI/ HDBaseT switchers with the projector
When using a DisplayPort/HDMI/HDBaseT 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.

The EDIDs in the switcher should be the same as the one in the projector.

Choose a de-gamma curve from 1.0, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.35, 2.5, S-Curve, and DICOM.
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 difficult 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.
S-Curve is an enhanced mid-tone gamma.

Black level uplift
Black in the blended regions appears less dark than in the rest of the image. To compensate for this, use this
menu to raise the black levels of the rest of the image:
l Set All to the required amount of black level correction. This will apply equal correction to the black
levels of all colors
l If necessary, use the individual color sliders (Red, Green and Blue) for fine adjustment.
You may experience artifacts at the edges where the blended region of one projector overlaps the pond of
mirrors of its neighbor. In the example below, the blended image comes from two projectors,1and2. Both
images have black level uplift applied; as a result, artifacts3and4have 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.
l Depending on your array, use Top, Bottom, Left and/or Right to reduce the black level uplift size. In the
example below, use the Right slider of the projector on the left1to remove the artifact on the right
, and the Left slider of the projector on the right2to remove the artifact on the left3.

Use this menu to enable, disable and set up 3D input, as follows:
l 3D Format — Off, Auto, Side-by-side, Top and Bottom, Dual Pipe and Frame Sequential.
Frame Sequential is for sources where Left and Right eye images are delivered as alternate frames from
a single input. Dual Pipe is for sources where Left and Right eye are delivered on separate inputs.
l DLP Link — Off / On.
DLP Link On emits a sync pulse for the 3D glasses via the projected image. DLP Link Off will send the
sync pulse to the sync out connector to use with an external third party emitter.
l Eye Swap — Normal and Reverse.
(set to Reverse if the left- and right-eye images are displayed in the wrong order)
l Dark Time — 0.65 ms, 1.3 ms and 1.95 ms.

3D types
To display a 3D image if is first necessary to select the 3D format. This can either be Frame Sequential or Dual Pipe. These formats are described below:
l Dual Pipe (LEFT and RIGHT) The left and right eye images are delivered on two separate
HDMI links, which the projector will interleave for 3D display.
l Frame Sequential For sequential 3D, an external sync is required to identify left and right
frames. If no sync is available from the sequential source, the projector will generate an
output sync, but it may then be necessary to manually set the Eye Swap each time the player
is started.
Dark Time and Sync Offset need to be set only once, to optimize the image for the glasses in use.

Dark time
Banding can be caused if the image is displayed before each
eye of the 3D switching glasses or ZScreen is not fully open.
Dark Time allows you to minimize this effect.
Eye swap
The outgoing 3D frames are in pairs - the dominant frame
being presented first. You can determine which frame should
be the dominant one.
By convention the default setting is Left.
Notes
In order to achieve
maximum light output and
a smooth grayscale, whilst
eliminating ghosting, the
following procedure is
recommended:
1. Set Dark Time to a
value appropriate to the
glasses or ZScreen, say
1.3 ms or 1.95 ms.
2. Adjust Sync Offset time
to eliminate ghosting and
achieve a smooth
grayscale.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2
until the best result is
obtained.

Choosing a lens
A number of lenses are available. Which lens you choose depends on the screen size, image aspect ratio, throw distance and light output.
The following table shows all available lenses in order of their throw ratios:
Throw ratios Focus rangeLens shiftPart No
0.84 - 1.03 : 11.5 m - 10 m
1.20 - 1.56 : 1 zoom 1 m - 8 m
1.50 - 2.00 : 1 zoom 2 m - 12 m
2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom 2.5 m - 15 m
4.00 - 7.00 : 1 zoom 4 m - 42 m
To choose a lens, calculate the throw ratio required. Allow a tolerance of +/- 3% in the throw ratio calculation.

Basic calculation
Identify the required lens by calculating the throw ratio.
A throw ratio is the ratio of the throw distance2to the screen width1:
1. Use the formula above to obtain the required throw ratio.
2. Allow a tolerance of +/- 3% in the throw ratio calculation and match the throw ratio with a
lens from the table below:

Basic calculation example
1. Calculate the throw ratio using the formula.
Your screen is 4.5m wide and you wish to place the projector approximately 11m from the
screen. The throw ratio will then be
11 ÷ 4.5= 2.44
2. Match the result with the lens table.
The lens matching a throw ratio of 2.44 is the 2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom lens .
3. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The focus range quoted for the 2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom lens is 2.5 - 15m.The required distance
of 11m is within the range.

Introducing TRC
The choice of lens will affect the image size and will address discrepancies between the DMD™
resolution and the source.
When an image fills the height of the DMD™ but not the width, it uses less than 100% of the DMD™
surface. A lens chosen using the basic formula may produce an image that is considerably smaller
than the actual screen.
To compensate for loss of screen space in such situations, you need to increase the throw ratio
using a Throw Ratio Correction (TRC).
Example
Fig. 1 illustrates a 4:3 image within a 16:9 display
When a 16:9 projector is used for a 4:3 image, the image does not fill the width of the DMD™,
creating a pillarboxing effect - blank spaces to the left and right.
Fig. 2 shows the same image projected on a 4:3 screen using a standard lens (chosen with the
basic calculation).
The DMD™ accurately fills the width of the screen; however, the pillarboxing is now part of the
projected image and is transferred to the screen.
The DMD™ does not fill the height of the screen, which has caused letterboxing - further blank
spaces at the top and bottom of the screen.
The image is now surrounded by blank space, which can be removed if the throw ratio is increased.
Notes
TRC can only be applied if
greater than 1. If TRC is 1
or less, disregard it and
calculate the throw ratio
using the basic formula.
Fig. 3 shows the image projected on the same screen with a lens chosen using TRC. The increased
throw ratio has allowed the 4:3 image to fill the 4:3 screen seamlessly

Calculating TRC
To calculate TRC, use the following formula:
TRC table
Alternatively, you can save time by referencing the following table, which shows the TRC value for some popular image formats:
2.35:1 (Scope) 1920 x 817 pixels TRC < 1, not used
1.85:1 (Flat)1920 x 1037 pixels TRC < 1, not used
1.78:1 (16:9)1920 x 1080 pixels TRC < 1, not used
1.6:1 (16:10)1920 x 1200 pixels TRC < 1, not used (native aspect ratio)
1.33:1 (4:3)1596 x 1200 pixels TRC = 1.2
1.25:1 (5:4)1500 x 1200 pixels TRC = 1.28
Calculating the throw ratio with TRC
1. For TRC > 1, amend the basic throw ratio formula as follows:
Allow a tolerance of +/- 3% in the throw ratio calculation.
2. Once a throw ratio is established, identify the matching lens from the table:
Throw ratiosFocus range
0.84 - 1.03 : 11.5 m - 10 m
1.20 - 1.56 : 1 zoom 1 m - 8 m

2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom 2.5 m - 15 m
4.00 - 7.00 : 1 zoom 4 m - 42 m
Notes
TRC can only be applied if
greater than 1. If TRC is 1
or less, disregard it and
calculate the throw ratio
using the basic formula.

Full lens calculation example
Your screen is 4.5m wide; you wish to place the projector approximately 11m from the screen.
The source is 4:3.
2. Calculate the throw ratio:
Throw ratio = 11 / 4.5 x 1.2 = 2.04
3. Allow a tolerance of +/- 3% in the throw ratio calculation and find a match in the lens
table.
The table shows that the matching lens is the 2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom lens.
4. Check whether the lens covers the required throw distance.
The focus range quoted for the 2.00 - 4.00 : 1 zoom lens is 2.5m - 15m. The required
distance of 11 m is within the range.

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specified 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.

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.
Notes
See Lens control on
page42 for more
information on shifting the
lens.

Full horizontal or vertical shift
Any single adjustment outside the
ranges specified 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.

Aspect Ratio: Source / 4:3
Aspect ratios explained
The appearance of a projected image on the screen depends on a combination of the following:
l The display resolution is WUXGA with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, corresponding to an aspect ratio of 16:10
l The aspect ratio of the input signal: usually 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10
l The value of the Aspect Ratio setting of the projector:
l 16:9, 4:3, 16:10 and 5:4 stretch the image to the selected aspect ratio. 16:9 leaves black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (letterboxing
effect); 4:3 and 5:4 leave black bars at the sides of the screen (pillarboxing).
l TheaterScope is a special setting used in combination with an anamorphic lens, an optional accessory. It removes letterboxing from a 2.35:1 source
packed into a 16:9 frame.
l Source shows the image with its original aspect ratio, if this does not match the native aspect ratio of the DMD
either fit the full width or height of the display.
