Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image	16

There are four ways to correct distortion in projected images as below.

Automatic correction

•Quick Setup

Press the [Quick Setup] button to fit on the screen at an aspect ratio of 4:3.

•Auto V-Keystone

Tilt the projector vertically to automatically correct distortion in the vertical direction.

Manual correction

•Quick Corner

This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the projected image separately.

•H/V-Keystone

This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently.

The "Quick Setup", "Quick Corner", "Auto V-Keystone" and "H/V- Keystone" functions project a test pattern onto the screen to correct the projected image, so connection to a computer for preparing the projector is not required.

• The default setting in the configuration menu is H/V- q Keystone.

•Select "Settings" - "Keystone" - "Quick Corner" to use Quick Corner for correction.

•To change the setting from Quick Corner to H/V-Keystone, press and hold the [Esc] button on the projector or the remote control for about two seconds and display the following screen where you can make the change.

Reset Quick Corner: Resets the Quick Corner settings.

Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the keystone correction method to H/V-Keystone. s p.43

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

Automatically Correcting Distortion (Quick Setup)

Quick Setup automatically corrects distortion in the projected image, that occurs when the projector is installed at a tilt to the image projection surface, so that the image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. In the case of a screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3, the projected image is corrected so that it fits perfectly in the screen.

Refer to Quick Start Guide for how to do the operation. Here is how to fit the projected image within the screen.

The status after correction by Quick Setup is stored in q memory even after the projector is turned off. When the

projector is installed at a fixed position for use, the projected image does not need to be corrected once Quick Setup has been performed.

17

fFitting projected image properly inside the screen

When Quick Setup detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen, whiteboard or blackboard.

*

When 3 or more sides						When top and bottom sides, or 2
are detected						adjacent sides are detected

*When the projector is mounted from the ceiling, the image will be corrected so that the bottom edge of the frame, such as the screen, fits inside the projection area.

When no border			When the frame is
is detected				horizontally long

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

• Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the q borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as

a white screen with black borders. When protecting images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.

•Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly. Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the correction range will become narrower than the angles

given below.

- When correcting to within a border

Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 20°

-When projecting onto a surface without a border Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°

Aligning the Projected Image to the Screen (Quick Corner)

This function independently corrects each of the four corners of the projected image to align the image with the screen.

Procedure

To operate this function on the projector's control panel, set "Setting menu" - "Keystone" in the configuration menu to "QuickCorner".

18

A Press one of [w], [v], [<] and [>] on the projector.

The Quick Corner screen for selecting the four corners is displayed.

B Select the corner to be corrected, and press the

[Enter] button on the projector or remote control.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image	19

C Correct the position of the corner by the [w], [v], [<] and [>] buttons on the projector or the [h] button on the remote control.

If the screen below is displayed during the correction, this indicates that the correction amount limit has been reached.

D To exit the correction, press the [Esc] button on the projector or remote control.

Changing the Projected Image

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

•Changing by Source Search

The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected.

•Changing directly

You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input port.

Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)

You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source Search] button.

Computer1

Computer2

20

Using the remote control

Using the control panel

When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

The following screen showing the status of image signals is q displayed when only the image that the projector is

currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the connected equipment you want to use is projecting. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

	• The image source continues to playback the moving
	images even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not
	possible to resume projection from the point where it was
	paused.
	• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration
	menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help
	screen being displayed is cleared.
