bands are just visible. Images from this source will then display correct blacks and whites without crushing or 
washing out.  

NOTE:

 If using Peak Detector with PIP, both images must have the same color space. 

 

Level Detector 

 
The “Level Detector” checkbox enables specific thresholds for blacks and whites — input levels that fall below a 
specified Level Value (see below) are displayed as black, and all others are displayed as white. It aids in Odd Pixel 
Adjustment. To use: 
 
1. Enable “Level Detector” and display a continuous grayscale. 
2. Set “Level Value” to near black (such as 200). 
3. Adjust Offsets to minimize area of black stripe. 
4. Set “Level Value” to near white (such as 800). 
5. Adjust Gains to minimize area of white stripe. 
 

Level Value 

 
Level Value defines the value to be used by the Level Detector in recognizing blacks and whites.  See Level 
Detector, above. 
 

Aspect Ratio Overlay 

 
Selecting this option with a checkmark will overlay a number of common aspect ratio boxes on top of the source 
image. This is very helpful during the setup of the projector and can be turned off after desired specifications have 
been achieved. 
 

Lamp Tracking Calibration 

 

NOTES:

 1) Lamp Tracking Calibration takes up to two minutes. 2) For best results, allow the projector to warm up 

for 15 minutes prior to calibration. 
 
Lamp Tracking Calibration defines the range of power needed to maintain lamp brightness. Select Calibrate Lamp 
Tracking for calibration using your projector’s unique specifications (recommended) rather than standard 
specifications. The projector will revert to the default backup in the event of a power failure. 
 

Lens VariScope System (LVS™) Calibration 

 
This option allows you to choose between three types of lens calibrations. Reference calibration determines a 
reference point that is used as a defined starting position for relative motion of the lens. All positioning is 
measured from this reference point. A reference calibration is lost when power is removed from the projector and 
will occur on every power up as long as LVS™ is enabled. A Motion calibration determines the characteristics of 
each motor and values are saved in the projector’s memory. If LVS™ is enabled and a motion calibration has 
previously been done, the projector will automatically recall these settings from memory when it’s being powered 
up and a motion calibration will not take place. A Full calibration performs both a reference and motion 
calibration.
