Step 3: Power Up
Connect ScreenPro
TM
to 115 VAC power using the power cord supplied with the unit. Locate the power
switch on the power entry module at the rear of the unit and turn the power on. The unit will flash all of the
front panel illuminated keys in unison, first with red, then green, and then amber. While the main board is
initializing, “please wait” will be displayed. The front panel display will show the main menu and this indicates
the unit has powered up successfully.
Step 4: Power Up Display
The default power-up condition is to set BLK (black screen input) as the “Main” source and Source 1 as the
“Preview” source.
The key for the source currently selected for the main output will be red. The key for the source currently
selected for the preview output will be green. The remaining source selection keys will be white.
Step 5: Key Selection and Transition
The user can easily select any of the input sources as the current preview source simply by pushing the
corresponding source select key. Each time a new preview source is selected, the key for the selected
source will turn green and the video on the preview monitor will display output video derived from the newly
selected preview source. The currently selected preview source can be transitioned seamlessly to the main
output using the Transition Effects keys. After selecting a preview source, simply press one of the three
transition effect buttons. The preview source automatically and seamlessly switches to the main output and
the input source previously designated for the main output and will then become the new preview source.
Step 6: Select Desired Output Format
Set the video output from ScreenPro
TM
to match the projector or other display device. Enter the Output
Setup menu by depressing the OUTPUT SETUP key. The OUTPUT SETUP key will turn from white to red.
An arrow “>” will be displayed next to “FORMAT.” Press the “Select” key. A solid block will start to flash in
the arrow location. Rotating the encoder dial will scroll through the available output resolutions. Stop on the
desired output resolution and press “Select.” The output is now set to the desired output format. When
finished, press the OUTPUT SETUP key and the display will prompt the user to save the output settings.
Pressing Select (SEL) will save the output parameters to Flash memory and pressing PREV MENU will exit
the output setup menu.
Step 7: Projector Adjustments
Proper projector setup is critical to optimize the quality of the output image. Once ScreenPro’s output is set
to match the native resolution of the projector, the scaling engine in the projector should be disabled. The
methods used to disable the internal scaler within the projector vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
ScreenPro’s Output Setup menu allows the user to select test patterns that are used during projector
adjustment. Please consult the operator’s manual for your equipment.
Step 8: Configure Input Sources
ScreenPro
TM
will automatically lock to video applied to the eight universal inputs and will make a “best
guess” at the video format (RGB, YUV, S-Video, NTSC/PAL) and all associated video parameters. While the
“best guess” approach generally leads to an acceptable output image, it is
strongly recommended
that the
user set up a configuration file to precisely define the video parameters associated with each input before
running a show. The use of configuration files provides consistent, repeatable operation and allows the user
to adjust video parameters for each source to optimize image quality. Up to 64 configuration files can be
stored for use. Each time a source is selected with the Source Selection keys, the configuration file
associated with that source is automatically reloaded.
Setting up input configuration files is simple. Proceed as follows for each input.
1. Select the source you wish to work with as the Preview source.
2. Press the INPUT SETUP menu key. Examine the image on the Preview monitor and adjust the input
parameters as desired. The Input Setup menu is described in detail in Chapter 3 of the Installation and
Operating Manual. Many of the parameters may require no adjustment, however, be sure that the
INPUT TYPE menu item is selected to match the incoming source. Also verify that the type of sync
indicated in the PROCESSING submenu matches the incoming source.
When the input setup parameters have been set as desired, enter the SAVE submenu to save the setup
parameters as a file. The next available file number is automatically shown on the first line of the SAVE
INPUT FILE menu. You can use this file number to create a new file or assign another number. The third
line in the menu allows you to assign an eight-character file name to the file. Entry of a file name is optional.
When the file number and name have been entered, select SAVE to save the configuration. The file is saved
and automatically assigned to the source used for the input setup process. The input configuration file will
automatically be recalled for use each time the source is selected.
