OptiCal gives you a choice of three types of lens calibrations:

•A Reference calibration establishes a reference point (starting position) for measuring relative lens movement. All distances are measured from this reference point.

A reference calibration is lost when power is removed from the projector and occurs on every power-up as long as OptiCal is enabled.

•A Motion calibration determines the characteristics of each motor and values are saved in the projector’s memory. If OptiCal is enabled and a motion calibration has previously been done, the projector automatically recalls these settings from memory when it’s being powered up and a motion calibration will not take place.

•A Full calibration performs both a Reference calibration and a Motion calibration.

If no calibration has previously been done you may be prompted to do a Full calibration. If a motion calibration has been done, you will be prompted to complete a reference calibration. If both calibrations have been done, the OptiCal checkbox is checked and OptiCal enabled.

When OptiCal is enabled, the VX-44d/-55d performs a reference calibration when the projector is turned on. The lens returns to its last saved position (or actual position, if no motion calibration has been done previously). Further adjustments to the zoom, focus and position are automatically saved.
