8. Pixel Track Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across the screen the aspect ratio is maintained and that the pixel phase can be optimized described below Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled NOTE By default the projector samples at the correct frequency for most sources For best results use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white pixels or a similar half on half off graphic image such as the Windows shutdown screen Adjust the slide bar until the vertical stripes broaden to the point where one large stripe fills the image If the image still exhibits some shimmer or noise adjust Pixel Phase below Pixel Phase NOTE Adjust Pixel Phase after Pixel Tracking Adjust pixel phase when the image usually from an RGB source still shows shimmer or noise after pixel tracking is optimized Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal For best results use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white pixels or a similar half on half off graphic image such as the Windows 2
