BASIC OPERATION

 Custom Page-1 and Page-2: These two menus consist of numerous display
settings that can be adjusted as desired, then defined collectively as a custom
setup or channel. Each defined channel then appears as a button on the Main
menu where any user can select it, providing a reliable way to quickly and
correctly change the on-screen display to suit the source content.
Alternatively, if a pre-defined Projector Configuration File (PCF) has been
supplied with distributed content (rare) and the "Use PCF" checkbox checked,
those Custom options which are already defined in the PCF (Source, Target
Color, Color Space, Gamma and LUT-CLUT) disappear from the Custom
menus and are protected from further modification. The channel defined in
such a case will thus be based on 1) the display settings in the supplied PCF
and 2) the remaining Custom parameters that are not contained in a PCF: the
physical location of the input connection (such as a cinema port or DVI port),
the screen format, data format, and processing path.
Custom 3D Control: This menu provides numerous controls for adjusting and

synchronizing incoming 3D signals (always dual L/R HD-SDI signals at the
SMPTE A and B ports) with each other and with external 3D equipment such
as screens, emitters and glasses.
Custom Lamp: This menu provides controls for maintaining consistent light

output over time or setting a precise power level for the lamp.
SAVING or DELETING:
menu. Or, to delete one or more channels, use the trash bin "Delete" button—note
a caution dialog box will appear first.
As shown in Figure 3.9 and Figure 3.10, clearing or checking the "Use PCF"
checkbox determines which Custom settings are available for use.
USE A PCF OR NOT?
The availability of functions in the Custom menu depends on
whether you choose to utilize pre-defined configuration files (PCFs) already
downloaded to projector memory (Figure 3.9), or whether you prefer to implement
your own settings from within the Custom menu (Figure 3.10). Although pre-defined
PCFs were originally intended as part of content from the distributor so that the
intended image quality is not compromised, this practice is rare. Instead, PCFs may
be created using DCP Librarian and downloaded to the projector. Most applications
such as cinema, post production and "alternative" or "non-cinema" displays require
that one or more display parameters be individually adjusted—clear the "Use PCF"
checkbox.
USE CINEMA PROCESSING OR NOT?
menu determines if the incoming signal is processed using the projector's full cinema
path, which enables image scaling and color correction but restricts resolution-and-
frequency combinations. If unchecked, most of the projector's Processor Board
functionality is by-passed—this disables scaling and color correction, but is
compatible with higher resolution-and-frequency combinations. Generally, use non-
cinema processing with DVI sources having high resolution-and-frequency
combinations. See examples in Table 3.3.
