Hiding The Image; Creating Your Own Startup Screen - Myscreen Function - BenQ MP721 - XGA DLP Projector User Manual

Hiding the image

In order to draw the audience's full attention to the presenter, you can use BLANK to hide
the screen image. Press any key on the control panel to restore the image.
The word "BLANK" appears at the lower right
corner of the screen while the image is hidden.
When this function is activated with video/S-video
signal connected, the audio can still be heard.
You can set the blank time in the
Advanced > Blank Time
return the image automatically after a period of
time when there is no action taken on the blank
screen.
Note that once BLANK is pressed, the projector enters Economic mode automatically.
Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to
become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
