Selecting an input or channel

The projector stores and recalls up to 99 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs.
This memory feature allows you to define and use a variety of customized setups. Depending on
what you have defined, each physical source connection (such as input at the projector) can have
several different channels associated with it. For a full explanation of how to connect sources to the
projector see Connecting sources through option cards
Input: An input is a source physically connected to the projector and describes the source signal
and which input slot it is connected to.
Channel: A channel is a collection of measurements, locations, and settings that tailor the display
of a signal to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary greatly, adjust and
define a wide variety of parameters such as brightness, contrast, and size to customize and
optimize the display from or for a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose
for a VCR source may be different from those you choose for a high-resolution computer source.
Once you have adjusted a display 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 09. You can have
numerous distinct channels available for the same
input, any of which can be selected by using the
Channel key on the keypad followed by the two-digit
channel number.
The Channel key may display a channel list or not,
depending on what you have defined for the Display
Channel List.
There are three methods for selecting an input:
1. Press INPUT.
This displays a list of the four slots, with the card type and input signal type in each slot. The
currently selected input for the main image is highlighted. Scroll up or down through the list
and press ENTER to make a new selection. Press INPUT again to show the list and allow the
selection for the PIP/Secondary image. Repeatedly pressing the INPUT key toggles between
the main and PIP/Secondary image.
PIP functionality is disabled in 3D mode.
2. Press the appropriate direct SLOT key to quickly display one of the inputs on the selected slot
to the main image. This does not bring up any menu selection and is only applicable for the
main image.
3. To select the source of the image for the main or PIP/Secondary image select Menu > Input
Switching and PIP > Main Input and Menu > Input Switching and PIP > PIP Input.
The image is displayed according to the following:
• If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did not
define a channel by adjusting anything), the projector recognizes the new input signal
