LiteLOC™ Calibration
NOTES: 1) LiteLOC™ Calibration takes up to two minutes. 2) For best results, allow
the projector to warm up for 15 minutes prior to calibration.
LiteLOC™ Calibration defines the range of power needed to maintain lamp
brightness. Select Calibrate LiteLOC for calibration using your projector's unique
specifications (recommended) rather than standard specifications. The projector will
revert to the default back-up in the event of a power failure.

The two "Option
Card" entries In
the Configuration
menu identify
which optional
input modules
(a.k.a. cards) are
present at
INPUT
(Option 1) and
5
(Option
INPUT 6
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, if the Dual SD/HD-SDI module is installed at
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.
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, the double processing essentially occurs
between displays so that a full image relayed from one source can smoothly transform
into a full image from another source. This change can be virtually instantaneous, or
slowed as desired so that the current image appears to dissolve or "fade" into the new
image.
Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Seamless Switching all reside in the
same menu. Note, however, that because both features utilize the projector's double
processing capability, PIP and Seamless Switching cannot be used together. For
example, fading a pair of PIP images into a new display from a different source is not
possible.
For best PIP or Seamless Switching results, use two different signal types* as defined
below. Do not mix two signals of the same type.
