Under influence of characteristics of each light source, conditions of use, installation environment, etc., the runtime may be shorter than the
estimation.
f
If the consolidated runtime of the projector exceeds 20 000 hours, replacement of the components inside the projector may be required. The
consolidated runtime can be confirmed in the
[STATUS]
screen. Refer to the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu

The uniformity of the brightness between multiple displays can be maintained by adjusting [LIGHT OUTPUT] for each projector when
structuring a multi-display screen by combining the projected images from multiple projectors.
[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]
The projector has an internal brightness sensor to measure brightness and color of the light source, and is
equipped with the brightness control function to correct brightness and white balance of the projected image
according to the changes in brightness and color of the light source.
By using this function, in such a condition that multiple screens are configured using projected images of multiple
projectors, you can reduce changes in overall brightness and white balance of the multiple screens due to aging
of the light source and suppress variation in brightness and white balance to preserve uniformity.
To synchronize the brightness control function of multiple projectors, set the administrator account (user name and
password) of all linked projectors to the same setting.
