c. Play any 2.40 aspect ratio content and change the Barco Lens zoom so that the image

perfectly fills your screen from left to right. Do not worry about any black bars on the

top or bottom. Adjust the Barco's focus after changing the lens position.

d. Play any 16:9 content and go to the Envy Screen Configuration menu (press the Envy

menu button and then the arrow-right button three times). Change the Screen

Boundaries setting to Custom, then ideally change Top and Bottom to 270, or whatever

settings are needed for the top and bottom of the image to fit perfectly within the

screen. Be sure to make these changes with Base Settings selected at the bottom of the

menu.

For more detailed information about scope screen setup with Envy, see the Envy Scope

Screen Setup Guide, available from www.madvrenvy.com/#downloads.

8. Optional: For improved color accuracy, it is recommended to perform an internal calibration of

the projector's native color space values, using the Service->Native RealColorP7 setting, when

logged in as the Barco "Power User", by following the procedure as set forth by Barco. This is

recommended (as a first step) even if performing a 3D LUT. For more information, contact your

Barco representative.

Quick Sanity Check

After completing the setup of the Envy with your Barco projector, we recommend reviewing the

following checklist as a final "sanity check" to help ensure everything is set up optimally:

A. Use the Prospector or Barco remote to make sure the projector shows a 3840x2160 incoming

signal from the Envy (do not confuse this with the output signal from the projector, which for

example with the Bragi will show 5120x2160). In some cases, when first pairing the Envy with

the Barco, the projector may connect at 1024x768. If this happens, please check step 1 above

and make sure the setting is changed in the Envy Base Settings and not Active Settings so that

the setting is saved.

B. Play any 4K HDR movie (except Gemini Man or Billy Lynn). Check the Envy Incoming Signal Menu

(press OK on the Envy remote when no Envy menu is active) and make sure that the

"Framerate" shows 23.976. If instead it shows 59.94, and you are using an Apple TV or

Kaleidescape, then your source device(s) are not set up for proper playback – check our setup

Apple TV and Kaleidescape guides on our website for more information. Or if you are using a

different source device, check its settings and make sure it outputs in a "native" or "direct"

mode.

C. While playing the 4K HDR movie, check to make sure the "Transfer Function" shows "HDR". If

not, Envy is not receiving HDR from the source player. This could be caused by a "rogue" device

in the HDMI chain, or if using an AVR like the Denon/Marantz, make sure it is set to use

"Enhanced" HDMI, so that it outputs the full 18 Gbps bandwidth and is not restricted to 9 Gbps.
