Color Space
This function allows you to change component, composite, and RGB sources. You can select different color space
for different color performance.
y
The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
HDMI:
If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the
D8800/D8900/D8010W use that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the D8800/D8900/D8010W use
the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component
video resolutions, REC709 is used.
RGB:
If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the D8800/D8900/D8010W use the RGB-PC color space. Other-
wise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for all other sources.
Component:
For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the D8800/D8900/D8010W use the REC601 color space. For all
other resolutions REC709 is used.
y
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the
D8800/D8900/D8010W to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:
YCbCr
uses component color space and sets black at 0,0,0 and white at 255,255,255.
YPbPr
uses composite color space and sets black at 0,0,0 and white at 255,255,255.
RGB-PC
uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit
image.
RGB-Video
uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit
image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards.
y
Input Lock
Use this function to lock a source to an internal sync signal (Auto, 48Hz, 50Hz, or 60Hz). Auto setting locks the sync
signal to the current source.
y
Background
Use this function to specify the content or color to be displayed on the blank screen when no input signal is avail-
able. You can choose from
Logo, Blue, Black, White
. The default value is
Logo
.
y
Video Standard
Different countries may use different video signal formats. Please choose the video standard in your area.
y
Auto
The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.
y
PAL
(Phase Alternation By Line)
This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world, typically with a 50Hz
frame rate.
y
SECAM
(Sequential Color With Memory)
This is a standard format used mainly in France and Russia. Gamma: Select Gamma from the ADVANCED
menu to choose a DLP de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while
maintaining good details for blacks and whites. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it
becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This
improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and un-
natural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.
y
NTSC
(National Television Systems Committee)
This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
Note:
Generally speaking, the projector will be able to automatically detect the video standard used in your area.
However, there are circumstance where the projector will fail to interpret the video standard used and the user
will have to manually configure the video format. If you are unsure of the video standard used in your area, please
contact a qualified personnel and inquire about the video standard used in your area.
y
Auto Sync Adjust
Use this function to set the automatic adjust setting for the incoming signal by adjusting the black level, gain, and
reference (Off, Auto, Always).
