Description

Values

CCA+SLCT <value>

Sets the color table. This command is only available if
the video electronics are on. (Saved value)

0 = Max Drives—Turns off all
color adjustments, projector
runs at maximum brightness
1 = Color Temperature—Selects
color adjustments based on a
color temperature
2 = HD Video (ITU-R BT.709)
3 = Custom settings

CCA+CTMP <value>

Sets the color temperature of the projector.
This command is only available if the video electronics
are on, the projector is configured to use Color
Temperature for its color table, and Color Temperature
is selected. (Saved value)

3200 to 9300

CCA+RDCX <x
coordinate for red>
CCA+RDCY <y
coordinate for red>
CCA+GNCX <x
coordinate for
green>

Defines a custom color table using x,y coordinates,
scaled by a factor of 10,000. For example, an x value of
3350 corresponds to x=0.3350 in the CIE 1931
chromaticity scale.
This command is only available if the video electronics
are on and Custom is selected. (Saved value)

The valid range for each value
depends on which of the red/
green/blue point is being
adjusted.
