Digital Projection TITAN User Manual 5. Userware
Introduction
The Titan Userware provides an intuitive interface to enable control of many of the
features of the projector from a personal computer, via a LAN connection.
There are two versions of the Userware: the Applet version, stored on the projector
and the Standalone version, supplied on disk or from the Digital Projection website.
Applet version
• To activate the Userware, simply point the browser at the projector by typing its
LAN IP Address into the address bar, then press the Enter key or click on Go.
The Applet version does not require installation on the personal computer, as it
is in the form of a Java applet, downloaded automatically from the projector by
the browser. The first time the applet is downloaded, you may see the following
message:
New Java applet download:
Tick the box only if you trust the source.
I trust this applet. OK
• Tick the box and click OK. In future, the Userware will load immediately.
The Userware interface is organised into a number of pages, as listed below:
Notes
To use the Titan Userware the
Java Runtime Environment
software must be installed on
your browser. This software can
be downloaded, free of charge
from www.java.com.
The LAN IP Address of the
projector can be found in the
Network submenu of the Setup
menu, as described in section
4. Controlling the projector.
Whenever the projector is
connected to mains power,
whether in Running mode or
Standby mode, the Applet
version of the Userware will be
available.

Each page is described in full later in this section.
When the Userware is started, the Show page will display immediately. The Page
buttons are always visible at the bottom of the display:
Disconnect
• Click on Disconnect to disconnect from the projector.
Reconnect
• To reconnect, click on the browser’s Refresh button,
or re-type the IP Address in the browser address box then press Return.
The Applet version of the
Userware can be used only to
control the projector from which
it was downloaded.
The Userware can be used to
control only one projector at a
time, and only one instance can
be running at one time.
More than one computer can be
used to control more than one
projector on the same network.

MCGD page
MCGD - Measured Colour Gamut Data - can be used to correct for a number of
environmental variables, for example:
two or more different projectors
lamp age
different lenses
ambient light
screen characteristics
The MCGD measurement procedure
1 On the Show page, select the ColorMAX test pattern.
2 Using a photo-spectrometer, measure the following values:
White x y
3 On the System page, switch off the Green and Blue DMDs.
4 Using a photo-spectrometer, measure the following values:
Red x y
5 Repeat for the Green and Blue x and y values.
6 Enter all the values into the MCGD page, as described on the next page.
Notes
Read the notes on MCGD,
TCGD and ColorMAX below,
before making any MCGD
settings.
Notes on MCGD, TCGD and ColorMAX User settings
TCGD (see the next section)
The parameters entered on the TCGD page establish the target settings that the
projector needs to aim for, in order to give a specified colour gamut.
MCGD (see this section)
The parameters entered on the MCGD page establish the starting settings, from
which the projector will calculate what adjustments are necessary to achieve the
color gamut specified on the TCGD page.
Only one set of MCGD data can be stored on the projector, but many more can be
stored on a computer, and retrieved using the MCGD page controls.
ColorMAX User settings
Only two sets of color gamut parameters can be stored on the projector ColorMAX User 1 and ColorMAX User 2 - but many more can be stored on a
computer, and retrieved using the TCGD page controls.

TCGD values
• To enter TCGD values manually, click on each box in turn, and enter the x, y and
g values for each colour.
x and y are the colour coordinates, and g is gain.
g represents the luminance of the colour relative to luminance of the white point.

of g to maximise the projector’s light output.
The example below shows what is required to set the projectors colour
gamut to Rec 709:
