8. There are several methods for mounting the projector Depending on your chosen installation one method may be more suitable than another In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a table or cart Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site If possible lock the wheels when it s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation For fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience you can invert the Vision 140 150 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture Not Use only the Vidikron approved ceiling mount kit part number A ole 956 0096 00 or equivalent designed for your projector Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing area Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector can rest A variety of materials can be used for this purpose for example rubber crutch tips or turntable feet If the Vision 140 150 is ceiling mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector you can tilt the projector at an angle by adjusting the ceiling mount The projector can be rotated front to back up to 360 degrees and mounted wi

FF before leaving menu Levels adjust automatically and correctly NOTE Image must have at least 2 adjacent white pixels for auto to work Filter The proper filter setting is automatically set for virtually all signals and rarely needs to be changed It applies a low pass filter for noise reduction in the incoming input signal particularly for HDTV or SDTV Applied in the analog domain before sampling this filtering removes high frequencies and thus reduces pixel phase noise note this also reduces signal bandwidth Override only if standard pixel tracking and phase adjustments do not adequately clear up a noisy video signal or if a graphics signal appears overly soft Both instances indicate that Filter may be set to the wrong option Sharpness Sharpness changes the amount of high frequency detail in a video image so that edges remain clearly defined It can be particularly useful if a significant Noise Reduction adjustment has caused the image to appear too soft Adjust until the display is as sharp as desired keeping in mind that because Sharpness adds some high frequencies back into the image it can also reintroduce a certain degree of noise Noise Reduction Noise Reduction is similar to the Filter control but operates in the post sampling digital domain with a more subtle effect Higher settings are most useful for clearing up noisy RGB images such as those from a PC Adjust
