Page 54: Overview
OVERVIEW The EYE-Q auto-convergence system allows for faster and more accurate convergence when used by the installer upon initial instal- lation. The EYE-Q system also allows the end-user to perform occasional convergence touch ups without having to learn the com- plex convergence procedure using the TOUCH-UP option in the EYE-Q image quality is always at its best. -
Page 55: Easy-To-Use, High Precision Automatic Convergence System
Easy-to-use, high precision automatic convergence system. Various options on the menu offer you the solution for your own individual needs: Align: convergence starts for the current image situation Align from mid-position: convergence starts from mid-posi- tion. Touch-up: convergence starts when the source switches or after a user-defined time: alignment of static convergence is almost invisible for the audience. -

If the process is successfully completed, the projector will return to image display of the current source. -
Page 65: On All Sources
ON ALL SOURCES The “On all sources” functions as the “On current source.” It includes also three options: Touch-up Align Align from mid-position The difference is that the convergences will be carried out on all sources of the projector, i.e. all available memory banks of the pro- jector. -
Page 66: Align From Midposition On All Sources
ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION ON ALL SOURCES When ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION is selected, the automatic convergence on all sources will be carried out automatically, but starting from the midposition settings. By projecting alternately red and blue lines, 25 convergence areas are aligned to the green pattern. The process will repeat for as many times as the total number of the sources until all sources are perfectly aligned. -
Page 67: No Pattern Error
NO PATTERN ERROR After starting up the automatic convergence, the projector will start to calculate and locate 5 horizontal and 5 vertical lines which are used to divide the screen into 25 areas. If the projector does not succeed in finding the pattern, it will try two time. -
