3.12.6. 

Black-Level Uplift 

In LED mode: This should be set to zero 

In Projection mode: 

This enables the user to provide a black level uplift to compensate for the additional light leakage from 
multiple projectors in overlap regions. The black level uplift can be set for the 9 possible regions of the 
image. Setting the black level uplift for the middle of an edge also sets the black level uplift for the two 
adjacent corners, and if needed the corners can then be set individually.  

The sliders for all regions which are not involved in edge blending for a given multiple unit configuration 
are greyed out, and the black level uplift for all these regions can be set together using the Non-Blend 
Region parameter.  

 

3.12.7. 

Reduce Black-Level Uplift Width 

In LED mode: This is not relevant 

In Projection mode: 

The Black Level Uplift field may need to be adjusted to achieve a perfect result. There may be an area 
of light leakage beyond the edge of the active image from the projector. With these controls the edges 
of  the  black  uplift  region  can  be  moved  so  they  can  be  aligned  with  the  edges  of  the  area  of  light 
leakage.  In  the  case  of  projection  under  non-rectangular  conditions  the  projection  fields  of  adjacent 
projectors are not aligned with the blend region. The corners of the non-blend region can be moved to 
allow tracking of the edge of the projection field of adjacent projectors.   

 
 

3.13. 

Enhancement 

The  enhancement  menu  provides  image  enhancement  functions.  Note  that  the  enhancement  settings 
apply to individual video 

input

 signal channels only but not to computer graphics signals.  

 

3.13.1. 

Sharpness 

Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 

Control  of  the  sharpening  enhancement  filters'  levels.    These  are  peaking  filters  to  improve  high-
frequency  response.  Note  that  setting  this  control  too  high  on  a  signal  which  already  has  good  high 
frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting. 

 

3.13.2. 

Detail 

Settings: 0, 1, 2, 3 

This  filter  provides  powerful  2D  image  enhancement  which  can  be  used  to  greatly  improve  detail 
definition and clarity without causing image ringing or ghosting.  It improves both horizontal and vertical 
detail.    Correct  setting  of  the  detail  enhance  filter  can  make  SD  signals  look  virtually  indistinguishable 
from true HD. At setting 0 the filter is switched off, with setting 3 providing the highest effect.  
 

3.13.3. 

Video Filters 

The video filters menu provides LTI and CTI filters, TRNR and MNR noise reduction filters and a CCS 
cross color suppression filter.  

The LTI filter enhances the sharpness of the luminance component. The CTI filter enhances the color 
sharpness of the chrominance signal by increasing the steepness of color edges. 

TRNR (Temporal Recursive Noise Reduction) and MNR (Mosquito Noise Reduction) are available for 

SD input signals only

. These filters reduce spatial and temporal noise as well as block artifacts. 

CCS  is  a  filter  to reduce luminance to chrominance cross talk of composite video signals (only) which 
appears as a coarse rainbow pattern or random colors in regions of fine details.
