PIC 9

Retrace (Short/Long)

This function is used to set the projector’s horizontal retrace time. Retrace time affects the width and display of the picture. A short retrace time may be required if information is missing or “cut off ” at the left or right sides of the picture. A long retrace time may be desired if the picture is significantly smaller than the raster.

To toggle between short and long retrace, select item 8 from the Picture menu. Item 8 indicates the current retrace setting.

Notes: 1) Check phase, left blanking, and right blanking from the Picture menu before changing retrace time. 2) Long retrace is not available at all scan frequencies.

Decoder Options

The Decoder Options menu item allows you to control the operation of the optional Multi-standard Decoder.

To modify decoder operation, select Decoder Options from the Picture menu. From the Decoder Options menu, select item 1 to set the decoding method to use for the current source signal input to the decoder. Select item 2 to set the routing of the current source signal within the projector.

Video Standard

When item 1 is selected from the Decoder Options menu, the Video Standard menu is displayed. It contains up to eight video standard options: Auto- detect, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, SECAM and, depending on which version of the decoder is installed, three more PAL options (see right). The current option is indicated by a check mark. Auto-detect is the default. When “Auto-detect” is selected, the decoder automatically determines the video standard of the input signal and processes it accordingly. Alternatively, you can force the decoder to use a particular decoding method by selecting one of the other menu options. This should only be necessary for poor quality input signals.
