Calibrating Screen Brightness (fL)

The projector software uses a Wizard application to
calibrate screen brightness in footlamberts (fL). The
process involves measuring the screen brightness at
both extremes of the lamp power (minimum and
maximum) for a given lamp type. These
measurements establish a range (stored in memory)
from which the projector can interpolate all other
lamp power settings by converting them to
approximate footlamberts for display in the menus.
Repeat the calibration if you switch to a different
lamp type/size.
To access the screen brightness application wizard go
to the Administrator Setup: Foot Lamberts
Calibration window. Follow the steps outlined to
complete the calibration.
