Matching Colors
In Multiple Screens
• For each projector, select "Tiled Full Height" to
fill the videowall from top-to-bottom while
maintaining the incoming aspect ratio. This
typically creates a black border on the left and
right edges of the wall. See right.
NOTE FOR LARGE ARRAYS: 1) In large
arrays having 3 or 4 columns/rows, the center
screen(s) will automatically fill. 2) Screens
having very little or no image will be blanked
(cropped).
• For each projector, select "Tiled Anamorphic"
to fill the videowall from left-to-right while
maintaining the incoming "widescreen"
(anamorphic) aspect ratio of 16:9. This
typically creates a black border at the top and
bottom edges of the wall. See right.
NOTE FOR LARGE ARRAYS: 1) In large
arrays having 3 or 4 columns/rows, the center
screen(s) will automatically fill. 2) Screens
having very little or no image will be blanked
(cropped).
Large Displays and 10-bit Processing
When processing sources through
the optional ADP module, you
may have to crop the extreme top
and bottom edges of the image
OR map to fewer screens (see
right).

In a multiple-projector wall, you will likely want to precisely match image color and
intensity from screen-to-screen so that the wall is as uniform as possible. The first step in
achieving such consistency is to use the Adjust Primary Colors (CSC) menu to fine-tune
each projector's fundamental primary colors—red, green and blue—so that each color
hue and intensity appears exactly the same from projector to projector. Once matched,
these colors work together to essentially create a single new color temperature or "image
cast" that all projectors can attain (range is 5250-6750K). This setup can be applied or
disabled at any time throughout the wall, simplifying both the setup and maintenance of a
"seamless" wall. Follow the step-by-step instructions below.
NOTES: 1) During this procedure, look at the center of each screen. 2) On-line hints
and help can guide you through the procedure. 3) A color meter is helpful but not
required. 4) Color matches are optimized for graphic sources. If using video sources
