Section 3: Operation

Edit numerical values:

Enter numbers directly from the keypad to specify numbers representing projectors channels (source setups),
or slots.

As each digit is entered, it is inserted on the right of the field, and the numbers already in the field are

shifted on the left.

The channel numbers are defined with two digits—for example, if you enter only a single

digit (such as “7”) for a channel number, the channel will automatically be defined as “07”.
Enter “07” to utilize this channel.

If you press any non-numbered key, the number entered up to that point is

accepted and updated as the new value. Press

XIT

to cancel editing of numerical values.

Using Inputs and Channels

The projector stores and recalls up to 99 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory
feature allows you to define and use a variety of customized setups. Depending on what you have defined, each
physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it.

NOTE:

See

Section 2 Installation and Setup

, for a full explanation of how to connect sources to the projector.

How Do I Select an Input Or A Channel?

INPUT –

An input is a source physically connected to the projector.

NPUT

describes the source signal and

which input slot it is connected to.

CHANNEL -

A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that tailor the display of a

signal to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary greatly, you will likely want to
adjust and define a wide variety of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, size, etc., in order to customize and
optimize the display from or for a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose for a VCR
source may be very different from those you choose for a high-resolution computer source.
Once you have adjusted a display parameter, such as pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are
collectively stored in the projector's memory as a unique two-digit channel, such as 09. You can have
numerous distinct channels available for the same input, any of which can be selected by using the

HANNEL

key on the keypad followed by the two-digit channel number.
Shown in

Figure 3-11 Channel List

is a sample channel list

available from

HANNEL

NOTE:

The

HANNEL

key may

display a channel list or not, depending on what you have
defined for

“Display Channel List” (see

Menu Preferences

later in this section).

SWITCHING INPUTS –

There are 4 methods for selecting an

input:
1. Press the

INPUT

key. This will display a list of the 4 slots,

with the card type and input signal type in each slot. The
currently selected input for the main image will be
highlighted. Scroll up or down through the list and press

ENTER

to make a new selection. Press the

INPUT

key again to show the list and allow the selection for the

PIP/Secondary image. Repeatedly pressing the

INPUT

key will toggle between the main and PIP/

Secondary image.

2. Press the appropriate direct

SLOT

key to quickly display one of the inputs on the selected slot to the main

image. This will not bring up any menu selection, and is only applicable for the main image.
