Adjusting the focus
In order to achieve a clear image, it is necessary to adjust the optical
focus of the projection engine. In the event that the image on the screen
becomes blurred, it is necessary to readjust the focus setting. To adjust
the focus, we recommend using an image with suitable content
displayed on the screen, e.g. an image with writing in all corners or
something similar. You can find appropriate test images on your
eyeDevice software CD.<GT><GT>
To adjust the focus:
1. Remove the four screws that secure the left part of the cover to the
focus.
2. Removce the cover.
ª You can now access the inside of the projector.
3. Loosen the adjustment screws.
ª SYou can now adjust the focus of the lens by turning the
adjustment screw to the left or right.
4. Secure the adjustment screw again in its position once you have
made the setting.
5. Close the cover on the projector again using the four screws.

ConfigurAtion
The projectors have to be configured before they can be commissioned.
Two programs are available to help you configure the projectors:
eyeDevice software and EC-Lcontrol. Both programs are stored on the CD
provided.
General information on the configuration programs
Both programs for configuring the projectors are used to perform
different tasks:
EC-Lcontrol:
•
Colour adjustment
eyeDevice software:
•
Communication between PC and Projector
•
Adjustment of colour (with EC-Lcontrol) and geometry
•
Status query of projectors
•
Gamma adjustment (with EC-Lcontrol)
•
Generating reports
NOTE:
The EC-Lcontrol program is specially developed for adjusting the
colour of the eyevis ESP projectors. For this reason, use this program
for colour adjustments instead of the colour adjustment function in
the eyeDevice software.
Program installation and start
The programs do not have to be installed.
1. Simply copy the entire program folder to the desired location you
wish on your PC (usually C:\Programs).
2. Open the relevant exe file to launch the programs.
Intelligent user interface
Once the connection to the projectors has been established, the
programs detect which parts are connected and display the relevant
functions on the user interface. The setting parameters are read out from
the projectors and displayed in the program windows. Any changes to
the settings are saved in the projectors or can be stored in a
configuration file on the PC.

Adjusting the colours with EC-Lcontrol
This section describes how to adjust colours using the “EC-Lcontrol”
program.
A detailed description of the program can be found in
TheEC-LcontrolSoftware section from page47.
To start the program:
►
Launch the EC-Lcontrol software (EC-Lcontrol.exe).
ª The start window opens.

To display the current settings:
►
Press the Getactualvalues button.
ª The current projector settings are displayed in the status window.
24 ESP-Projectors with LED Projection Engine
CONFIGURATION
Page 25
To manually adjust the projectors:
1. Select the colour you wish from the Colourtemperature field.
ª Information on the colour temperatures can be found in Tab. 1 on
page 53.
2. Adjust the brightness in the Brightness field.
ª The brightness can be estimated from the values contained in the
list for each projector.
3. Click on Adjustcubewall to apply the settings.
ª The current settings will be displayed in the lower part of the
window and illustrated in the colour diagram.
ª The displayed images on the video wall change at the same time.
To adjust the projectors to the maximum brightness:
This function can be used to adjust the projectors to the maximum
brightness regardless of a specific colour temperature.
►
Press the button to adjust all projectors to the maximum
brightness.
To automatically adjust the projectors:
This function is used to automatically calculate the correct set value for
both colour and brightness. The software then applies this set value to
define a standard colour and brightness for all projectors. The current
values of each projector are used to calculate the set value for x and y as
well as the brightness. (Note: If the maximum brightness has been set as
described above, the current value is the maximum value.) This process is
not dependent on a specific colour temperature. A set value that allows
the maximum brightness is used.
1. Press the button to get the values recommended by the software.
ª The current settings are displayed in the lower part of the window.
ª The values are automatically entered in the entry fields. The
suggested values are calculated by the software to achieve the
optimal setting for all projectors.
ª The brightness of the projectors can be reduced during the colour
settings in order to achieve an optimal colour representation.
2. Press the Adjustcubewall button.
ª The wall is adjusted to the maximum attainable values.
►
If you are not satisfied with the result, you will need to adjust the
colour temperature and brightness again. Refer to the following
section on how to optimise the “whitepoint”.
To optimise the whitepoint:
Example: The wall appears blue on the master display but the desk
monitors appear red. In this scenario, instead of setting the maximum
brightness, it is more beneficial to find a better whitepoint.
►
Select a colour temperature from the list of set values and click on the
Adjust projector wall button.
ª The table below shows a text output of two projectors which were
set to a colour temperature of 3500K.

Selecting the colour sensor interface
(Coloranalyzeroption)
NOTE:
An automatic colour sensor enables the projector settings with the
UHP lamp. This function is not required with LED projects.
Using the Pattern generator
NOTE:
The pattern generator tests the entire colour spectrum from 100%
(white) to 0% (black). Greyscales and individual colours can also be
checked. The pattern generator is required with lamp projectors to
ensure homogeneity over the entire wall.
Even though the pattern generator is not required for configuring LED
projectors, it is useful for checking different greyscales and the
homogeneity on the video wall.
To use the pattern generator:
3 The eyePattern program first has to be installed on the sourcePC.
3 An Ethernet connection must also be established between the
sourcePC and controlPC.
1. Open the software on the sourcePC.
2. Enter the name or the IP address of the sourcePC in the
Runningonmachine field.
3. Press Applychanges to apply the new settings.
ª You can check if the connection is active on the Reports page.

Activating the internal AutomaticColorTracking
Once you have finished the colour adjustment with the EC-Lcontrol
software, you have to activate the internal Automatic Color Tracking
function. This step is performed in the eyeDevice software.
NOTE:
ACT (Automatic Color Tracking) is available in two versions:
•
ACTintern is available as a setting in eyeDevice:
The projector-internal AutomaticColorTracking function is
activated in the eyeDevice software via ACTintern. This function
simply tracks the colours on each individual projector without
comparing the projector in a combined projection.
•
ACTextern and Communication Box:
ACTextern comprises the ACT software and the Communication Box.
In contrast to ACTintern, ACTextern constantly compares the colour
settings of all projectors on one wall and adjusts the colours, if
necessary, to achieve a harmonious colour rendering. The
Communication Box can be connected to the projectors via a serial
interface or LAN. Besides controlling the projectors, ACTextern also
generates detailed log files and can check the temperatures of each
projector over time. It is also possible to connect external
temperature sensors to ACTextern.
To activate ACTintern in eyeDevice:
1. Open the eyeDevice software.
2. Open the Setup page.
3. Select the reference value for automatic colour tracking:
Open Projector Setup/Act_Reference and click on Set.
4. Set the colour adjustment setting to Internal.
Open Projector Setup/Act_Control and select the Internal setting.
5. Press the Saveall... button to save the current settings.
6. Repeat the same steps for each projector.

Colortemperature
Adjusting the colour temperature.
The colour temperature can be entered numerically or changed using the
arrow keys. When a colour temperature is entered, the CIE values x and y
are intuitively adjusted. This point in the CIE coordinates system is
referred to as the whitepoint.
The colour temperature is a measurement for the colour rendering of a
light source and is represented in the unit [K] Kelvin. Various ambient
conditions (daylight, artificial light) display varying colour temperatures.
The projection can be adjusted to these ambient conditions.
The table below displays some of the typical colour temperature values:
Tab. 1: Colour temperatures
Candle 1500K
Bulb 2200K – 3000K
Halogen lamp 3000K
Sun late evening: 3400K, morning/evening: 5000K,
am/pm: 5500K
Daylight lamp 5600K – 7000K

Fog, mist 7500K – 8500K
Blue on shaded
north side
9000K – 12000K
Brightness
Setting the brightness
L Manual input of brightness.
The software calculates the brightness and the whitepoint
based on the current settings of the projection. An average
value is calculated from the recorded colour and brightness
of all projectors. This option is useful when no explicit
whitepoint or colour temperature is required.

NOTE:
Each projector has its own internal colour sensor calibrated in the

sometimes be necessary to adjust the colours of individual segments.
The calibration can be refined by allocating offset values to the colour
point of individual projectors. These offsets are permanently saved and
used for every colour adjustment. They are not only valid once for the
current colour but as general correction values for the internal sensor.
