Section 3: Operation
The best auto setup will be obtained under the following conditions:
• Input levels, it is best to have an image with saturated (very bright) colors.
• Phase, high contrast edges are needed.
To determine active window size:
• Video images should have whites and blacks in the image.
• Wide range video images should have content (including white) that extends to all edges of the image.
Channel
Select a specific source setup (channel) defined and stored in projector memory. Once you enter a two-digit
channel number (or, if there is a list displayed, highlight it and press E

Contrast
Changes the level of peak white in your images. Use L
of contrast—for best results, start low and increase so that whites remain bright but are not distorted or tinted
and that light areas do not become fully white (i.e., "crushed"). Conversely, low contrast causes dim images.
Bright
Increases or decreases the black level in the image. Use L
level of brightness. For best results, start high and decrease so that dark areas do not become fully black (i.e.,
"crushed"). Conversely, overly high brightness changes black to dark grey, causing washed-out images.
Gamma
Determines how grey shades are displayed between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for a
given amount of signal. The proper setting helps maintain optimized blacks and whites while ensuring a
smooth transition for the "in-between" values utilized in greys. Unlike brightness and contrast controls, the
overall tone of an image can be lightened or darkened without changing the two extremes and your images will
be more vibrant yet with good detail in dark areas when using the Gamma control.
