Using Inputs and Channels

The projector stores and recalls up to 99 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory
feature allows you to define and use a variety of customized setups. Depending on what you have defined, each
physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it.
NOTE: See Section 2 Installation and
How Do I Select an Input Or A Channel?
INPUT – An input is a source physically connected to the projector. I
which input slot it is connected to.
CHANNEL - 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 select for a VCR
source may be very different from those you select for a high-resolution computer source.
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 09. You can have numerous
distinct channels available for the same input, any of which can be selected by using the C
keypad followed by the two-digit channel number.

SWITCHING INPUTS – There are 4 methods for selecting an
input:
1. Press the INPUT key. This will display a list of the 4 slots,
with the card type and input signal type in each slot. The
currently selected input for the main image will be
highlighted. Scroll up or down through the list and press
ENTER to make a new selection. Press the INPUT key again to show the list and allow the selection for the
PIP/Secondary image. Repeatedly pressing the INPUT key will toggle between the main and PIP/
Secondary image.
2. Press the appropriate direct SLOT key to quickly display one of the inputs on the selected slot to the main
image. This will not bring up any menu selection, and is only applicable for the main image.
