It is advisable to use the test pattern (See picture below, CypherLite Software Page 9, Cue 48) to
check that the projection area is desirable and that the color balance is good. When projected onto
a wall or screen the test pattern should look like the picture below.
At this time adjust your color balance with the three knobs on the back of the unit until the frame of
the test pattern is white and the letters “X” and “Y” are pink. The letters “12K/30K” and “ILDA” should
be orange.

Whenever you edit cues or make changes to your workspace file, you should always save them
under a new file name for later use.
