NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for a full explanation of how to
connect sources to the VistaPro 2000.
When you first use a source with the VistaPro 2000, you may want to adjust and
define a wide variety of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, tint, etc., in
order to customize the display for that source. For example, the display settings
you choose for a VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a
high resolution computer source. Once defined, the settings for a particular
source are collectively stored in the projector's memory as a unique "source
setup". VistaPro 2000 stores and automatically recalls up to 80 source setups so
that you do not have to repeatedly re-configure the projector when returning to a
previously used source. Note that you can have more than one source setup for
the same physical source.
You can switch to a specific source in either one of two ways. Pressing the
appropriate direct key (
,
,
or
) is a quick and seamless
way to display the image for that source. Or, perhaps if your system includes
additional sources, you can press
to use one of three
other methods of source selection, such as a pull-down list
of all sources (default). Note that the precise function of
the
key is flexible and depends on how you have
defined it from within the Preferences menu (see
Preferences, below).
NOTES: 1) In 1- or 2-digit source selection, VistaPro 2000 "time-outs" after 5
seconds of inactivity, selecting the current source and returning to the previous
menu. 2) From presentation level, press
or
to cycle through the list.
Regardless of which method you use to select a source, the image will be
displayed according to the parameters (the source setup) last defined for that
source. If you have not yet defined any parameters, a new source setup is
temporarily defined according to a default mode table defined in the projector.
This will not be saved as a new source setup unless you change a parameter.
To use a new source with VistaPro 2000, a new source setup must be added to
your system so that the projector will respond properly to input from that source
in the future. A new source setup can be created automatically, or you can use
the "New" button in the Source Setup menu.
A source setup is automatically created when an input signal is sent to the
projector and parameters are changed. The "source#" assigned to an
automatically created source will be the highest available source number from 99
down. Automatic source setups will not appear in any source list that may appear
whenever you press
— you must first enter a checkmark for the "In Menu"
option in the Source Setup menu.
You can also perform a source setup from within the Source Setup menu
accessed from the main menu. This procedure is as follows:
From the presentation level press
to bring up the main menu. Highlight the
Source Setup icon and press
to call up the Source Setup menu.
