video signal. In order to detect and display such signals, select the relevant standard from the list.
• INPUT VIDEO BLACK
This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels
present in certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the
display are neither crushed (i.e., where dark greys appear
black) nor excessively elevated (i.e., where blacks appear dark
grey). By default, the projector automatically determines the
best setting according to the type of incoming video signal:
• 0 IRE – Used for DVD output with "enhanced black", SECAM, most PAL standards, and Japanese NTSC.
• 7.5 IRE – Used for most NTSC video signals.
For some types of video, you can override the setting. The control is disabled for other types of video (and all
graphics sources). Generally, if black appears crushed when brightness = 50, choose "0 IRE". If black appears
excessively elevated, use "7.5 IRE".
• COLOR
This slide bar adjusts the color saturation level. Lower settings produce less saturated colors, for example a
setting of "0" produces a black and white image. If the color level is too high, colors will be overpowering and
unrealistic.
• TINT
Adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of video and HDTV signals. For best results, adjust
tint while displaying an external test pattern—it is recommended that tint remain at its default setting.
• FILTER
The proper filter setting is automatically set for virtually all signals, and rarely needs to be changed. Override
only if standard pixel tracking and phase adjustments do not adequately clear up a "noisy" video signal, or if a
graphics signal appears overly "soft". Both instances indicate that "Filter" may be set to the wrong option.
• SAMPLING MODE
Sets the color sampling mode for a digital signal to either YCbCr 4:4:4, RGB or YCbCr 4:2:2. The proper
sampling mode is determined automatically by the projector; you can override this setting.
• FILM MODE DETECT
Enable or disable film motion detection. Only available for interlaced or segmented frame sources.
• CHROMA/LUMA DELAY
Affects any incoming composite or S-video signal, delaying the luma signal (intensity) in relation to the
chroma (color). In the image, increasing the luma delay will move luma (seen as a shadow where colors
overlap) to the right slightly, with colors remaining in place. Decreasing this delay will move the shadow
slightly to the left. If necessary for your current source, adjust so that no shadows occur with adjacent colors.
