in this manner all of the time, even with single displays. For normal keypad function, select Never (default).

4.12 Status Menu
The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently
detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type of
lamp defined in projector memory, its current, voltage and hours logged in total and for a specific period, and
for your projector model name and serial number. The
Status menu identifies the current channel, its location,
its frequencies and other details.
Scroll the full Status menu using . Use for page up/down.
4.13 Using Multiple Projectors
When an installation requires multiple projectors, you can use the RS-232 serial ports to daisy-chain the units
together and control the group with a single keypad or a computer/controller connected to the first projector. In
such a network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the key as desired to
limit responses to an individual projector.
Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to an Ethernet network.
NOTE:
Refer back to 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for complete information
about communicating with multiple projectors.
4.14 Matching Colors In Multiple Screens
In a multiple-projector wall, you will likely want to precisely match color and intensity from image to image so that
the full wall is as uniform as possible. This matching is typically done in conjunction with brightness uniformity.
TIP:
You may need to adjust the position of the on-screen menu (in Menu Preferences) while making these
adjustments in order to have a full view of each screen.
4.14.1 Preliminary Calibration
All primary colors in the projector are set to precise values for optimal color performance. After installation at
a site, lighting and other environmental factors can change how these colors appear on the screen. To recover
the intended color performance use a color meter to measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and
white—as they appear at the screen. Record these as
Color Primary Settings in the Service menu (password-
protected) for each projector. Using these new values, which are stored in memory, each projector will
automatically calculate all corrections to reproduce the original factory colors under the current environmental
conditions. This essentially calibrates a projector to adjust for environmental and lighting factors to improve
color accuracy and consistency in a group of projectors. It provides a good starting point for further
customizing and matching.
To return to the factory-set color primaries, such as when a projector is moved to a different site, you must
access the
Service menu (password-protected). Select the Reset to Factory Defaults? option in the Color
Primaries submenu. Repeat the calibration process describe above and continue with matching of colors.
