If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according to the setup parameters
for the first channel with matching characteristics.

Channel
A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that tailor the display of a signal to your
specific needs. Since source types and applications vary, you must adjust and define parameters, such as
brightness, contrast and size, to customize and optimize the display from or for a source. For example, the
display settings for a VCR source may be different from a high resolution computer source, or one signal may
vary from another signal used through the same input location. After adjusting a display parameter, such as
pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are stored in the projector memory as a unique 2-digit channel,
such as . Numerous distinct channels can be available for the same input. Use the key on the
keypad followed by the 2-digit channel number. to select a channel.
NOTE:
The key may display a channel list or not, depending on what you have defined for “Display
Channel List” (see Menu Preferences later in this section).
To access channels by using on the keypad, you must first create the channels.
3.4.2 Creating a New Channel
Automatic
To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to the projector memory for it to respond
to an input signal from that source. A new channel can be created automatically or copied and then edited, see
3.4.4 Copying or Deleting Channels .
When you select a direct input ( , , , , ), all currently-defined channels in the projector are
searched for matching input and signal parameters (Auto Source must be enabled on these channels). If no
match is found a new channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of signal.
The
channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 01-50.
NOTES:
1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed, and
will not appear in the channel list.
2) If two channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal of sync
connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as distinct channels.
3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.
If the incoming signal match an existing channel, the image will be set up and displayed as usual according to
the parameters currently defined for that channel.
