or washing out. 

Level Detector 

The Level Detector checkbox enables a 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 

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

No function. 

The two “Option 
Card” entries In the 
Configuration 
menu identify 
which optional 
input modules 
(a.k.a. cards) are 
present at 

INPUT 5

 

(Option 1) and 

INPUT 6

 

(Option 2). 

If either of these option slots are empty, the corresponding read-only menu entry does 
nothing. If there is a module installed, the corresponding menu entry may activate a 
submenu of further options pertaining to that module.  

For example, the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is factory-installed at 

INPUT 5

 (Option 1). 

The Option 1 Card submenu provides controls for configuring the various 
connections on this multi-input, multi-output module. As desired for your 
application, you can define 1) which physical input loops through to which output, 
and 2) which functional input (main or PIP signal) loops through to which output. 

 

NOTE:  Seamless switching is not currently supported in this projector. 

PIP (Picture-in-Picture) and Seamless Switching are independent but related 
projector features that both utilize two image processing paths within the projector. In 
the case of Picture-in-Picture, this double processing enables you to display two 
different images simultaneously – typically a smaller “secondary” image within a 
large “primary” background.  In a seamless switch (not currently available for this 
projector), the double processing essentially occurs between displays so that a full 
image relayed from one source can smoothly transform into a full image from
