parameter, such as pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are collectively stored
in the projector's memory as a unique two-digit channel, such as
have numerous distinct channels available for the same input, any of which can be
selected by using the
Channel
number.
Shown at right is a sample channel list as would be available from
typically called the channel list.
NOTE: The key may display a channel
Channel
list or not, depending on what you have
defined for "Display Channel List" (see
Menu Preferences later in this section).
In order to access channels by using
the keypad, you must first create the channels.
See below.
To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to projector
memory so that the projector will respond properly to an input signal from that source
in the future. A new channel can be created automatically, as described here, or it can
be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary (see Copying or
Deleting Channels later in this section).
When you select a direct input (
channels in the projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters – this
only occurs if Auto Source is enabled on these channels. If no match to the incoming
input signal is found in currently defined channels, a new channel is temporarily
created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of signal. The channel number
assigned is the lowest available number from 01-50.
NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its
parameters are changed and will not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If two
channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal
of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as
distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.
If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image will be set up and
displayed as usual according to the parameters currently defined for that channel.
You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing
USING A CHANNEL:
(see right). If you want to prevent a channel from appearing in this list, you must edit
the channel as described in Channel Edit later in this section. Such a channel can still
be selected by entering its number as shown at right.
