NOTES: 1) A source number in the pull-down list identifies a particular channel
retained in projector memory. A "switcher/slot" number identifies the physical
location of a source. 2) If you pause for 5 seconds or more during a source
switch, the switch is canceled and you're returned to the present source.
See Preferences section to set your desired method of source selection.

Once you have requested an image from a source, the image will be displayed
according to the input and signal parameters—the channel—last defined for that
source. If you have not yet defined any parameters that match the source, a new
channel is temporarily defined according to a default mode table defined in the
projector, and the image will initially be displayed based on these defaults. Note,
however, that this source will not be permanently saved as a new channel unless
you change a parameter (size, phase, etc.) either manually or through an "
" (see below).
You may want to adjust and define a wide variety of display parameters for a
channel, such as brightness, contrast, tint, etc., in order to optimize the display
for that source. For example, the display settings you choose for a VCR source
may be quite different from those you choose for a high resolution computer
source. Once defined, settings for a particular source are collectively stored in
the projector's memory as a unique source setup called a channel. DLV 1280 can
store and automatically recall up to 99 channels so that you do not have to
repeatedly re-configure the projector whenever returning to a previously used
channel. Note that you can have more than one channel for the same physical
source.
NOTE: A new channel is assigned the first available number from 1-99. You can
change this number in the Channel Edit submenu.

To quickly adjust a new image for which initial default settings may not be ideal,
select " " in the Main menu. A dialog box will appear, at which point
you can either continue with the Auto Setup or cancel (see Figure 3-8). If you
continue, the following settings will be calculated automatically, filling the
horizontal width as closely as possible based on the source present:
Size and Position
•
Brightness & Contrast (set to defaults)
•
Pixel Tracking
•
Frame rates (input/panel) are matched
•
if possible

on a dark, moving or poor quality image. For best results, use a fully bright and
stable image that entirely fills the screen.
Top/Left Blanking (set to 0)
•
Pixel Phase
•
RGB Drivelevels (set to defaults)
•
RGB Blacklevels (set to defaults)
•
An Auto Setup for non-video images takes
up to 30 seconds. Auto Setup can be
canceled at any time by pressing
any time.
While auto setup can save time and effort
in setting up a new source, you may still
want to improve some adjustments
manually, especially if the setup was based
