• Test Pattern: Refer to Test Patterns on page 109.
• Gamma: Gamma changes the colors slightly for Film or Video display. Use Film for
deeper reds. Use Video for optimal brightness.
• White Boost: White Boost can increase the brightness of the brightest parts of the
picture. Set it to Off or High. Using this control may alter slightly some of the brighter
colors.
Miscellaneous Options: Select Miscellaneous Options from the Advanced Options
menu to enable or disable the following settings:
• Beeper: Beeper makes the VideoWall/CineWall make a chirping sound each time a
remote control button is pressed (and received by the VideoWall/CineWall). The display
always beeps three times when you press a button that tells the VideoWall/CineWall to
do something it can’t do, such as turn on the lamps when they are already on.
• Curtain Pattern: Curtain Pattern chooses what appears on the screen when the
VideoWall/CineWall receives the serial command op ** curtain (refer to page 75).
The choices are Black, Logo, White, Red, Green or Blue.
• Auto Codes: Auto Codes causes the VideoWall/CineWall to start flashing the On
Screen Codes whenever an event causes the lamps to go out, such as a fan failure.
• EDID (Plug and Play): Plug and Play enables the Extended Display Identification Data
(EDID) that is used by many computers to determine the capabilities of the monitor.
This is a complicated standard, and not all video card drivers and operating systems
act the same. If you are having trouble getting your video card to output a picture when
connected to the VideoWall/CineWall, try disabling Plug and Play and rebooting the
computer, to see if it acts any better. Normally, Plug and Play should be enabled.
• Preferred Source Detection: Preferred Source Detection tells the
VideoWall/CineWall which aspect ratio to use when the incoming signal may have
several choices. For instance, 1024x768 and 1366x768 have similar signal timings, and
the VideoWall/CineWall might choose the wrong one. If you application sometimes has
1024x768 but never 1366x768, set this control for 4x3.
• Native Frequency/Allow Frame Lock: Select Native Frequency from the
Miscellaneous Options menu to choose the DLP frame rate when the
VideoWall/CineWall is not frame-locked to a source.
It takes a few seconds for the VideoWall/CineWall to change between frequencies, so if
you are using it with 50-Hz sources primarily or exclusively, set the
Native Frequency to
50 Hz. Likewise, set it to 60 Hz if most or all of your sources are 60 Hz. Doing so can
reduce the time it takes to switch inputs.
When Allow Frame Lock is enabled, the VideoWall/CineWall DLP frame rate is exactly
matched to the frame rate of the incoming source. This helps ensure smooth panning
of the input signal with no dropped or repeated frames.
Only sources between 48 Hz and 60 Hz are frame-locked. If a source is not
frame-locked, the DLP frame rate will be the selected “
Native Frequency” (50 Hz or
60 Hz).
Set White Boost to Off before making White Balance or Gray
Balance adjustments.
