Connecting example when using the contrast synchronization function/shutter
synchronization function
In a case to construct a
m
ulti-display by linking projected i
m
ages fro
m
m
ultiple projectors, follo
w
ing functions can
be used by synchronizing
m
ultiple projectors using the <
多台投影机同步输入
> ter
m
inal and the <
多台投影机同步
输出
> ter
m
inal.
f
Contrast synchronization function
A linked screen
w
ith balanced contrast can be displayed by sharing the brightness le
v
el of the
v
ideo signal
being input to each projector.
To use this function, set the [PROJE
C
TOR SETUP]
m
enu
→
[MULTI PROJE
C
TOR SYN
C
] for each
synchronized projector as follo
w
s.
g
Set [MULTI PROJE
C
TOR SYN
C
]
→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that is synchronized. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
g
Set [MULTI PROJE

C
]
→
[
C
ONTRAST SYN
C
] to [ON].
f
Shutter synchronization function
This is a function to synchronize the shutter operation of the speci
fi
ed projector to other projectors, and the
effect using the shutter function including the fade in
/
fade out operation can be synchronized.
To use this function, set the [PROJE
C
TOR SETUP]
m
enu
→
[MULTI PROJE
C
TOR SYN
C
] for each
synchronized projector as follo
w
s.
g
Set [MULTI PROJE

→
[MODE] to anything other than [OFF].
Set [MODE] to [MAIN] only on one projector that beco
m
es the synchronization source
w
ithin the linked
projectors. Set [MODE] to [SUB] for all other projectors.
