Press the appropriate direct key —
SWITCHING INPUTS –
to quickly display from one of the six inputs connected to the projector. The
Input 6
image will be displayed according to the following:
If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did
not define a channel by adjusting anything), the projector will recognize the new
input signal based on its frequencies and polarities, and will automatically display an
image according to default settings for such a signal. In general, the default fills the
screen as fully as possible. This and other default image settings depend on the
incoming source.
If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter such as
contrast, V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists in
projector memory (see below).
If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according
to the setup parameters for the first channel with matching characteristics.
If PIP is enabled, an input key changes the PIP (secondary) image only. To switch
the main input, use the keypad number keys with "Numbers Select Main Image"
activated.
NOTES: 1) Inputs 7 and 8 require the Dual SD/HD-SDI module in either of the
projector's option slots. For their selection, refer to 3.3, Using the Keypads. 2) For
more information on Numbers to Select Main Image, refer to 3.8, Working with PIP
or Seamless Switching.
A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that

tailor the display of a signal to your specific needs. Since source types and
applications can vary greatly, you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety
of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, size, etc., in order to customize and
optimize the display from or for a particular source. For example, the display settings
you choose for a VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a
high-resolution computer source, or one signal may simply vary from another signal
used previously through the same input location. Once you have adjusted a display
parameter, such as pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are collectively
stored in the projector's memory as a unique two-digit channel, such as

be selected by using the
