[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]
The projector is equipped with a luminance sensor to
measure brightness and functions to correct screen
brightness resulting from changes in lamp brightness.
Use the projector when using multiple projectors to
display on multiple screens to reduce changes in
overall brightness of the multiple screens due to lamp
degradation and suppress variation in brightness to
preserve uniformity.

When one projector is used, the maximum
correction amount is the value obtained when
the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] value is
subtracted from 100%. When [BRIGHTNESS
CONTROL GAIN] is 100%, the maximum correction
amount is 0% and brightness cannot be corrected
due to luminance controls.

Luminance will be unsteady for eight minutes after
a lamp is turned on. Adjust after eight minutes have
elapsed from the time that the power is switched
on.

[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] adjustments are
reected to all image signals, internal test patterns,

Uses the luminance sensor on one
projector to perform correction without
connecting another projector.
The length of time that constant
brightness can be maintained increases
as the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
GAIN] value decreases.
[GROUP A]
[GROUP B]
[GROUP C]
[GROUP D]
Correction by luminance sensor is
performed by connecting several
projectors.
Use network functions to set up to four
A to D groups within the same subnet.
Up to eight projectors can be registered
and connected in each group.
