Section 3: Setup

3.2.1  AccuFrame

This menu lets you specify the settings for AccuFrame. AccuFrame is used to reduce image artifacts, such as 
smearing and double image perception in high speed simulation environments.

Enable AccuFrame

Check this option to enable AccuFrame.

AccuFrame Strength

Controls the effect of AccuFrame. Higher values reduce artifacts but also reduce image brightness.

3.2.2  Geometry and Color Adjustment

In the

 

Configuration

 menu, select the 

Geometry and Color 

submenu when you need to modify overall color 

performance and/or image geometry for all sources.

Geometry Correction

Keystone is typically caused by tilting the projector in relation to the screen, so that the lens surface and screen 
are no longer parallel to each other. Use the projector menu options to make basic keystone adjustments 
appropriate for flat screens. For complex geometry correction, see the 

Christie TWIST User Manual (P/N: 

020-100143-XX)

.

Settings to adjust keystone are in the 

Geometry Correction

 submenu. 

Brightness Uniformity

, 

Edge 

Blending

 and 

Black Level

 

Blending

 should be disabled before performing keystone adjustments. 

Vertical keystone is used to correct a keystoned image shape in which the top and bottom borders of the image 
are unequal in length, and both sides of the image are inclined toward the top or bottom edge.

Horizontal keystone is used to correct a keystoned image shape in which the left and right borders of the image 
are unequal in length, and the top and bottom are slanted to one of the sides.
