ELECTRONIC CONVERGE CORRECTION
The Phoenix Lens can create color fringing which increases toward the right and left edges of
the image when a projection system has a relatively small ratio of throw distance to screen
width. If noticeable, this color fringing can be corrected by the Electronic Convergence
Correction (ECC) feature currently available in Sony, Epson and JVC projectors, taking
approximately 5 to 30 minutes to adjust depending on the projector model and level of desired
correction. Note that these adjustments are performed only once during lens setup. ECC is
optional for Paladin installations but any color fringing with Paladin lenses is difficult to see.
Epson: Menu -> Extended -> Panel Alignment. See the user manual for more detailed
discussion regarding “Adjusting the Color Convergence”. The first step of Epson’s ECC allows
you to adjust the four image corners to impact the entire image. This very quickly implements
ECC but you may still wish to continue with finer adjustments per the manual.
JVC: Menu -> Installation -> Pixel Adjust. Please refer to the “Zone Adjust Operation
Procedure” in the user manual.
Sony: Menu -> Installation -> Panel Alignment. Please refer to the section on “Panel
Alignment -> Zone” in the user manual.
OTHER TIPS
Watching smaller content. There are three options for watching 1.85:1 movies and 16:9
content. First, Anamorphic Mode II or “TV” will show smaller content in its native aspect ratio in
the center of the UltraWide screen with black on left and right. Second, Anamorphic Mode I or
“UltraWide” will fill the full screen with the top and bottom of smaller content cropped to fit.
Finally, “Full” or “Stretch” turns off the anamorphic modes so the full 1.85:1 or 16:9 content
appears stretched out to fill the screen due to the lens. You can see these three options using
the Panamorph Demo Theater at the Panamorph web site (select and install your lens type,
select a sample from the “TV” content, then cycle through the projector mode options).
However, note that full 16:9 content is somewhat taller than UltraWide movies so a very small
portion of the top and bottom will be overscanned onto the border of
the UltraWide screen. If you are watching sports with scores at the
top and/or bottom you may need to zoom the projector down slightly
to make the scores completely visible.
Inverting the lens bracket for high shelf mounting. The bracket
and bracket arms are shipped to suspend Panamorph lenses from
above – typically attached to XM2 or XMU plate on top of the
projector. The bracket arms can be removed from the lens and
inverted so that the lens is still properly oriented with the bracket
facing down to mount to a shelf. However, note that this typically
