Adjusting Frequency and Phase

Adjusting Frequency and Phase

Frequency and Phase are mostly adjusted for computer sources and must be made using the computer that has, or will have, program content. Although Frequency and Phase can also be adjusted for component sources, it is not usually necessary.

If you press the SETUP button on the remote, the automatic adjustment of Frequency and Phase is usually good enough. (See "Auto Setup Options" on page 55.) If automatic adjustment is not good enough, adjust it manually. (See "Adjusting Frequency Manually" on page 38.) If the image shows vertical banding, adjust the Frequency. If the image has noticeable horizontal streaks moving through the image, adjust the Phase.

Note: Auto Setup Options rely on the content displayed on the screen. You will get best results with something that has a lot of changes, such as a checkerboard pattern.

Making a Checkerboard Pattern With Paint

You will need to display a checkerboard pattern from the source computer. You can make one with the Windows Paint program.

1Choose Image > Attributes to open a dialog box.

2In the Units section, choose pixels. In the Color section, choose Black and White.

3Set the Width and Height in pixels to match the native resolution of the Planar display.

4When you click OK, the program gives you a warning about losing color. Click Yes.

5At the bottom of the window, click on the checkerboard pattern. This is the 9th box from the left on the bottom row.

6Choose the paint bucket icon and click in the picture area. It will fill with a checkerboard pattern.

7Save this picture as a bit map (.BMP) file to the hard drive so you can use it again.
