Selecting the Display Mode

2.3 Selecting the Display Mode

The DLP LightCrafter has four display modes: Static Image/Color, Test Patterns, HDMI Port, and Stored

Pattern Sequence. To upload static 24-bit RGB images or project a single color read section Section 2.9.

To use the internally generated test patterns, read Section 2.10. To stream 24-bit RGB video through the

HDMI port read Section 2.7. To create a pattern sequence using external patterns from the HDMI port,

read Section 2.8.2. To create a pattern sequence using stored patterns, read Section 2.8.1. See Figure 2-

23.

• The GUI automatically changes to the correct tab and updates the GUI settings in that tab to

match the EVM's settings if the display mode is properly set.

• The resolution, active pixels, and active lines are reset to their default value if the display mode

changes from "HDMI Port" to "Stored Pattern Sequence".

• When the display mode changes, the "Start Vector" and "Num of Vectors" reset to 0.
