Setting the shutter synchronization function
The shutter synchronization function is a function to synchronize the shutter operation of the specified projector
to other projectors, and the effect using the shutter function including the fade out/fade in operation can be
synchronized.
To use the shutter synchronization function, it is necessary to connect the projectors targeted for synchronization
in a loop with daisy chain connection using the <MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC IN>/<MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC
OUT> terminals or the <SERIAL IN>/<SERIAL OUT> terminals.
For details of how to connect the projectors, refer to "Connecting example when using the contrast
synchronization function/shutter synchronization function" (x page 60).
1) Press as to select [SHUTTER SETTING].
2) Press the <ENTER> button.
f The [SHUTTER SETTING] screen is displayed.
3) Press as to select [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC].
4) Press the <ENTER> button.
f The [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] screen is displayed.
5) Press as to select [MODE].
6) Press qw to switch the item.
f The items will switch each time you press the button.
[OFF]
[MAIN]
[SUB]
f When anything other than [OFF] is selected, the diagnostic result is displayed in [LINK STATUS], indicating
if all the projectors including the projectors targeted for synchronization are correctly connected, and if
[MODE] is correctly set.

[NO LINK]
7) Press as to select [SHUTTER SYNC].
8) Press qw to switch the item.
f The items will switch each time you press the button.
[OFF]

Note
f The [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] setting item is common with the following menu item.
g The [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC]
For details on contrast synchronization function, refer to the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [MULTI PROJECTOR SYNC] (x page 159).
f The shutter synchronization function will operate when all of the following conditions are fulfilled.
g All the projectors to be linked are connected in a loop with the daisy chain connection. (Maximum 64 projectors)
g [MODE] on only one projector that is linked is set to [MAIN], and [MODE] on all other projectors are set to [SUB].
g [SHUTTER SYNC] on the projectors to perform the shutter synchronization is set to [ON].
f It is possible to set [SHUTTER SYNC] to [OFF] for the projectors that are linked but not to synchronize.
f The shutter operation by the shutter synchronization function will follow the setting of the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu → [SHUTTER
SETTING] of the projector that [MODE] is set to [MAIN].
f When the input signal to each linked projector is not synchronized, the timing of the shutter operation between the projectors may shift up to
1 frame while using the shutter synchronization function.

Select this item when the contrast synchronization function and the shutter synchronization function
are not used.
Select this item when the contrast synchronization function or the shutter synchronization function is
used.
Set this item only on one projector that becomes the synchronization source of the shutter operation
within the linked projectors.
Select this item when the contrast synchronization function or the shutter synchronization function is
used.
Set this item in all the linked projectors excluding the projector set as the [MAIN].
All the projectors are correctly connected, and correctly set. They are in the condition that the contrast
synchronization function or the shutter synchronization function can be used.
The projectors are not correctly connected, or not correctly set. Check the cable connection status
and the projector setting for each projector that is linked.
