the Channel menu and are protected from further change.
When to Use Cinema Processing?
The Cinema checkbox 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. Refer to
Cinema Operation
When to Use a PCF?
The availability of functions in the Channel: Page 1 menu depends on whether you choose to utilize
predefined Projector Configuration Files (PCFs) already downloaded to projector memory, or whether you
prefer to implement your own settings. PCFs can be created using the DLP Application then downloaded to the
projector. By enabling the Use PCF checkbox, you can select and implement a predefined PCF.
Most applications such as cinema, post production and "alternative" or "non-cinema" displays require one or
more display parameters to be individually adjusted. In this case, clear the Use PCF checkbox.

Select the current channel from the drop down list and display the settings for this channel. Choose from
64 channels. Important! Selecting a channel from the Main menu will not activate the current channel
settings in the Channel: Page 1 or Page 2 window. You must manually select the channel from the drop
down list to see settings for this channel. Ensure Active is enabled to ensure the settings for the current
channel and not the previous are being viewed.
Keep checked for most sources (default), ensuring that incoming data is processed using the complete cin-
ema path and scaled to fill the screen where possible. Cinema sources (292 A/292 B projector inputs)
should always utilize the cinema path and scaling. Uncheck only for incoming DVI having a frame rate
>60 Hz (if SXGA) or >48 Hz (if 2048 x 1080), as the cinema pixel clock rate is limited to 110 MHz.
Enable the Use PCF checkbox to use a pre-defined PCF for this source and prohibit further Channel
adjustments (the PCF components of Target Color, Color Space, Gamma, LUT-CLUT in the Channel:
Page 2 menu will disappear), then select the desired PCF from the Predefined Configurations list. Clear
the checkbox if you wish to adjust the Channel settings - this is currently recommended for all cinema use.
Identifies/sets the connection (location) of the current source, such as cinema port 292 A, 292 B or a DVI
graphics port.
Identifies the source type (8-10-12 bit) and whether or not it is packed. The projector will process the
incoming signal according to the data format selected here. NOTE: Available data formats depend on
which projector input is selected and will reset to a default value if an input has not yet been selected. Data
format settings are not included in a PCF.
Identifies/sets the expected incoming source resolution and aspect ratio such as 1198x1080 Flat. The list of
available sources are defined using the Admin: Source menu.
Identifies/sets display area, masking (cropping) and expected lens for the current source. Choices are pre-
defined using the Admin: Source menu. Screen settings are not included in a PCF.
