8.4 Aspect Ratio
When watching a movie or video program, you can manually set the desired aspect ratio to fill your screen. Select
the correct aspect ratio depending on your source:
For Video sources
a) 4:3. The original source is considered as 4:3 format. Generally SDTV broadcasts.
b) 16:9. The picture size is 16:9, generally most recent DVDs, Blu-Ray discs or HDTV broadcasts.
c) Zoom. The zoom function is useful to zoom in the picture and eliminate black bars.
For PC sources
a) Auto. Positions the image at the center with the entire image enlarged.
b) Just. Displays the input image in tthe actual size.
c) Full. Fills the entire screen with the image with the size (aspect) of the input image ignored.
8.5 Mask
Depending on your source, you may enable or disable this feature to hide the outer area of the picture. The Mask
function can hide the unexpected scaling artefacts found in broadcast program. You can set it to Off, 2.5% or 5%
globally or for each side of the screen.
8.6 Progressive (only 480i, 576i, 1080i)
Interlaced signals are converted to progressive signals using video images from the surrounding. This function is
only available for interlaced input signals: 480i, 576i and 1080i.
8.7 3D Setting
3D Formats
Use this function to choose the correct 3D input format. Some input signals may contain 3D data such as 1080p
Side-by-Side but encoded as if they were in 2D. This unit may treat them as standard 2D signals and will not project
correctly. In such cases, configure the signal manually between Side-by-Side, Top & Bottom and 2D. In other cases,
you may select Auto setting.
2D to 3D Conversion
You can use the 2D to 3D Conversion to convert 2D pictures into a quasi-3D picture. The quality of the result may
differ from quality of original 2D picture. Turn it On or Off.
Parallax
Use this function to adjust the amount of misalignment of the left and right 3D video images. Adjust settings
according to your preference between -15 and +15.
The correct Parallax value also depends on your projection screen size. Due to the large screens used in home
theaters compared to flat screen TVs, we recommend a negative value of -6 for computer sources and video games
in native 3D with large parallax. This setting is best at 0 for Blu-Ray movies aimed for Digital-Cinema audience.
Crosstalk Cancel
Can be adjust with a 3D signal input but not when 2D to 3D Conversion is On. This function is to lessen the residual
cross-talk found between 3D video images. Adjust the Parallax value and then the Cross-talk settings in order to
cancel the residual cross-talk without loosing picture quality.
When watching 3D content, only 16:9 aspect ratio is available.
The parallax is an important parameter for 3D movies that directly affects comfort during 3D projection. It is
admitted that generally the maximum value of the parallax must not exceed 6,5 cm which is an average
value of people’s distance between their left and right eyes and because the parallax value changes with
the screen size, it is important to set this parameter to a value with which everyone feels comfortable with the 3D
effect. In general, women and children have smaller faces and may feel better with a smaller parallax value. Do not
hesitate to alter this settings if you feel eye-strains or headaches.
