Introduction

Welcome to the Envy Sony Setup Guide. Although setting up the Envy itself is often as simple as

plugging in the HDMI cables and entering the projector's peak brightness, it is important that

your projector be set optimally for use in conjunction with the Envy. This guide covers the

recommended set up for Sony projectors when used with Envy.

Please make all the menu changes with "Base Settings" selected in the Profile Bar (the bottom selection

in each Envy menu) so the changes will be permanent.

Settings" is selected in the Profile Bar, the changes will only be temporary and later lost, unless you use

the "Save to Base" option. For a better understanding of how settings in the Envy work, please see

Sony Configuration

The following steps are recommended to best configure the Sony for use with the Envy.

1. First, we need to configure important settings in the Envy's Display Configuration menu.

Pressing the top-right button on the Envy remote to access this menu. Then follow the steps

below. An example of the completed settings is shown in the image on the next page.

A. Resolution setting: If you are using a screen with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 or larger,

such as a 2.35 or 2.40, set the "Resolution" option in this menu to 4096 x 2160. This will

make full use of the full Sony panel and provide additional brightness. After changing to

4096 x 2160, adjust your lens zoom position to fit the screen. If using a 16:9 screen, set

the "Resolution" to 3840 x 2160 (4096 would be slightly determental for 16:9 screens).

B. Color Space: Change the Color Space to YCbCr. If you later perform a 3D LUT, for best

results you should then change to the RGB setting and use that with your calibration.

C. Peak Luminance: Peak Luminance is a measure of the brightest image your display

achieves for a specific system configuration. This depends on several factors, including

your display's lumens, lens position, iris position, lamp/laser power mode, calibration

settings, throw distance, and your screen size and gain.

The best way to determine your peak luminance is to display a 100% white pattern and

measure it using 3rd party calibration software or a handheld lux meter. If measuring

with calibration software, enter the "cd/m2" measurement as your nits value. If using a

lux meter, you will need to convert the lux reading to nits or foot lamberts. Please ask

your dealer for assistance if needed.

Otherwise, if you make changes when "Active
