NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for details on connecting sources to the
projector.
The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 50 different channels (source setups) for a
varietyofinputs.Thismemoryfeatureallowsyoutodeneandconvenientlyuseawidevariety
ofcustomizedsetups ratherthan havingtorepeatedly re-congurethe projectorfor different
presentations.Dependingonwhatyouhavedened,eachphysicalsourceconnection(i.e.,input
at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it.
INPUT — An input is a source physically connected at the projector.
Input
describes the source
signal according to which input slot it is connected.
SWITCHING INPUTS — Press the appropriate “direct” key —
Input 1

Input 2
,

Input 6
to quickly display from one of the six inputs connected. The image will be displayed
according to the following:
If it is the rst time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did not
deneachannelbyadjustinganything),theprojectorwillrecognizethenewinputsignal
based on its frequencies and polarities, and will automatically display an image according
to default settings for such a signal. In general, the image from the new source will be as
large as possible without losing its aspect ratio. This and other default Picture Adjustments
depend on the incoming source.
If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter such as contrast,
V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory
(see below). Using one of the
Input
keys will automatically recall this channel — and all its
setup parameters — and update the display accordingly.
If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according to the
setupparametersfortherstchannelwithmatchingcharacteristics.
NOTE: Inputs 7 and 8 require the Dual SD/HD-SDI module in either of the projector’s option
slots. For their selection, see also 3.2 Using the Remote or Built-In Keypad.
CHANNEL — A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that tailor the
displayofasignaltoyourspecicneeds.Sincesourcetypesandapplicationscanvarygreatly,
youwilllikelywanttoadjustanddeneawidevarietyofparameters,suchasbrightness,contrast,
aspect ratio, 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, or one signal may simply vary from another
signal used previously through the same input location. 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 2-digit channel, such as
0
9
. 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 2-digit channel number.
