Once you have selected the desired section, the projector will replicate it such that you have two
identical copies side by side ……
Now you can make any adjustments you want to color temperature, color saturation, brightness,
contrast, or gamma. The projector will apply the adjustments you make to the image on the right
side of the screen, and hold the image on the left side constant. In this manner you can see
precisely the effects of the changes you are making. You can finish by either saving or discarding
the changes you've been experimenting with. For many users, this is a great educational tool that
helps you understand the nature and range of the various adjustment controls available to you.
As far as brightness is concerned, there is quite a range of options on the AE2000. The preset
video optimized modes, Cinema 1, 2, and 3, are color balanced and set for optimal video
performance. They vary somewhat in gamma and color temperature, but not much in brightness.
On our test sample they measured 345, 390 and 370 ANSI lumens respectively. Among the
three, Cinema 1 mode was our choice for most of our viewing.
