DIAGNOSTICS / CALIBRATION

Choose the desired internal test

 

pattern to display, or select OFF

 

to turn off a test pattern.

 

Alternatively, use the Test key

 

for cycling through test patterns.

 

NOTE: There is a center line

 

(both horizontal and vertical) in

 

the Edge Blending test pattern.

 

The intersection of these lines is

 

the true center of the projector’s

 

display area.

 

Test Pattern Grey Level

 

Set the desired level of grey for displaying in the full gray field test pattern.

 

Freeze Image

 

Enter a check mark to freeze (stop) an image on a single frame. This diagnostic tool is

 

useful if you need to examine in detail a still version of an incoming image that cannot

 

be “frozen” at the source. For example, in moving images it is sometimes difficult to

 

observe artifacts such as external de-interlacing/resizing and signal noise. Remove the

 

checkmark to return back to normal.

 

Color Enable

 

Select which color or colors you want to see. This is useful while working with color

 

temperature, input levels or other special setup parameters. Colors can also be

 

enabled/disabled by entering the corresponding function code listed on the back of the

 

standard IR remote.

 

Odd Pixel Adjustment

 

NOTES: 1) Factory-set and rarely required by user. 2) Source must be >90 MHz.

 

When using certain RGB sources, you may need to adjust the normal gain or offset of

 

odd pixels in relation to even pixels. This will smooth out very narrow (1-pixel wide)

 

“checks” or vertical stripes that indicate adjacent “on” and “off” pixels. Using the

 

Level Detector simplifies this process (see Figure 3.23):

 

1. Use an external analog native-sized continuous grayscale test pattern with at least

 

256-levels.

 

2. Turn “Level Detector” on.

 

3. Set “Level Value” to ~200. The image should now be black-and-white (or black-

 

and-one color, if you use “Color Enable” function).

 

4. Adjust offset. Half of the pixels will move, the other half will not.

 

5. Adjust until the two transition regions overlap. The stripe of noise will be

 

minimized, defined by the value in the slidebar.

 

6. Set “Level Value” to ~800. The image should now be black-and-white.

 

7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5, but adjusting gain.

 

8. Repeat Steps 3-7 for all remaining colors. Your RGB source should now be OK.
