INPUT describes the source signal and which input slot it is connected to Channel A channel is a collection of measurements locations and settings that tailor the display of a signal to your specific needs Since source types and applications can vary greatly you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety of parameters such as brightness contrast size etc in order to customize and optimize the display from or for a particular source For example the display settings you choose for a VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a high resolution computer source Once you have adjusted a display parameter such as pixel tracking or contrast all current settings are collectively stored in the projector s memory as a unique two digit channel such as 09 You can have numerous distinct channels available for the same input any of which can be selected by using the CHANNEL key on the keypad followed by the two digit channel number A sample channel list available from CHANNEL is shown in Figure 3 3 Channel List NOTE The CHANNEL key may display a channel list or not Main Channel 01 depending on what you have defined for Display Channel 01 1 2 iSVid 15 73kHz i59 94 Hz List see Menu Preferences ater in this section 02 4 1 pDig 33 72kHz p29 07 Hz Current Channel Switching Inputs There are 3 methods for selecting an input inda E A anne igna orizon er ca 1 Press the INPUT key Th

75. 11 Using Multiple Projectors IMPORTANT When working with more than two projectors work left to right top to bottom When an installation requires multiple projectors use the RS 232 serial ports to daisy chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad or a computer controller connected to the first projector In such a network you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group or use the PROJ key as desired to limit responses to an individual projector Alternatively you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet network See 2 9 5 Ethernet Communications for full routing details 3 11 1Match Colors in Multiple Screens In a multiple projector wall you will likely want to precisely match color and intensity from image to image so that the full wall is as uniform as possible 3 11 2Preliminary Calibration All primary colors in the projector are precisely set to pre established values to ensure that overall color performance is optimized and is as accurate as possible Lighting and other environmental factors may slightly change how these colors appear on your screen While the change is negligible in most cases you may prefer to recover the originally intended color performance before trying to match colors from several projectors To achieve consistency use a color meter to measure the native primary colors red green blue and white as they appear at the screen Record these as Color Primary Sett
