initial setup and re-check at 100 hours.
SET LAMP POWER—
possible for your application while still maintaining a good overall match of
light output from screen-to-screen. By nature, achieving a uniform brightness
will require a slightly reduced overall brightness—this reduction will help
ensure that you have enough range of adjustment when examining brightness
variables more closely from screen-to-screen, and will help prevent premature
"maxing out" when trying to match to a certain color, zone or projector.
USE A "USER" COLOR TEMPERATURE—
for a User color temperature defined when you matched primary colors, and
continue to use it for all sources displayed on the wall. Your other color
temperatures will not necessarily be matched from screen-to-screen.
WHITE UNIFORMITY SLIDEBARS—
reduce to "0". Each slidebar adjusts overall light output in a specific screen
zone, but the value shown represents the current setting for green in this zone.
When other "hidden" values (red or blue) are lower than green, during
adjustment in the White Uniformity menu their values will reach "0" first,
causing the slidebar to stop earlier than expected.
