Hiding the image

In order to draw the audience’s full attention to the presenter, you can use BLANK to hide the screen image. Press any key on the control panel to restore the image.

The word “BLANK” appears at the lower right corner of the screen while the image is hidden. When this function is activated with video/S-video signal connected, the audio can still be heard.

You can set the blank time in the

Advanced > Blank Time to let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action taken on the blank screen.

Note that once BLANK is pressed, the projector enters Economic mode automatically.

Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
