Projection Operations Projection Operations This section explains operations that are related to projection of an image. Projecting onto a Screen This section explains the basic steps for projecting an image. Basic Flow Set up the projector and point it at the screen. “Setting Up the Projector” (page 28) Connect the computer or video device to the projector ( 34 to 37). Preparing the Projector Turn on the projector and the connected computer or video device. ] (power) key to turn on the projector.
Projection Operations Auto Input Source Selection When you turn on the projector, it checks the status of each input source (whether or not the input source is sending a signal) in the sequence shown below. It automatically selects the first input source it finds that is sending an input signal, and projects the applicable image.
Projection Operations Manually Selecting the Input Source The procedure you should use to select the input source depends on whether you are using projector keys or remote controller keys. [Projector] [Remote Controller] [S-VIDEO] key [VIDEO] key [RGB/COMPONENT] key [INPUT] key To select the input source using projector keys On the projector, press the [INPUT] key to cycle through input sources in the sequence shown below.
Projection Operations To select the input source using remote controller keys On the remote controller, press the [RGB/COMPONENT], [VIDEO], or [S-VIDEO] key to select the input source you want. z The currently selected input source name is shown in the upper right corner of the projection screen. z If the currently selected input source is not sending an input signal, the message “No signal input” appears in place of the input source name.
Projection Operations Zoom and Focus Use the zoom ring to adjust the image size, and the focus ring to focus the image. To adjust the image size Zoom ring Smaller Larger To focus the image It is best to have a still image on the screen when you focus the image. Focus ring z Performing zoom after focusing can cause the image to go out of focus. If this happens, focus again.
Projection Operations Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input source selection, power up, etc.) You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key. z You can turn off auto adjustment (page 90) when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain manual settings.
Projection Operations Full-screen Display of an RGB Image The projector outputs images using XGA (1024 pixels × 768 pixels) video resolution. When the input signal from the computer connected to the projector is not an XGA signal, “Resize Image To Fit” automatically enlarges or reduces the image so it matches the projector’s video resolution and fills the entire screen. The following shows how different input signals from a computer are adjusted during projection.
Projection Operations Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE) When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may have different length left and right edges, or top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, “keystoning”. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image. z Keystone correction (auto or manual) can cause dustortion of the projected image.
Projection Operations z Note that auto keystone correction is possible within a range of about –30 degrees to +30 degrees. Screen Up to about 30 degrees Up to about 30 degrees z Auto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct the image.
Projection Operations Manual Keystone Correction Manual keystone correction can be used to correct for both vertical and horizontal keystoning. To use manual keystone correction 1. Press the [KEYSTONE] key. z This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image. 2. Use the [S] and [T] keys to select either “Vertical Keystone Correction” or “Horizontal Keystone Correction”. 3. Use the [W] and [X] keys to correct for keystoning.
Projection Operations z The allowable ranges for manual keystone correction are –30 to +30 degrees vertically, and –8 to +8 degrees horizontally. z Performing horizontal keystone correction and then vertical keystone correction can cause the horizontal keystone correction value to change. This occurs when vertical keystone correction narrows the allowable manual horizontal keystone correction range, causing the horizontal keystone correction value to be outside the correction range.
Projection Operations Enlarging the Projected Image (D-ZOOM +/–) You can use the remote controller’s zoom keys to enlarge a specific part of the projected image up to four times its original size. To enlarge part of the projected image 1. On the remote controller, press the [D-ZOOM +] or [D-ZOOM –] key. z This causes a cross cursor to appear on the projected image. 2.
Projection Operations 3. On the remote controller, press the [D-ZOOM +] key to enlarge the image. z You can press the [D-ZOOM +] key again to further enlarge the image, up to 4 times. z You can back step through the image enlargements by pressing the [D-ZOOM –] key. z You can shift the zoomed image up, down, left, or right by pressing the applicable remote controller cursor key. 4. To exit image enlargement and return the image to its original size, press the remote controller’s [ESC] key.
Projection Operations Using Picture-in-Picture (P-IN-P) While RGB is selected as the input source, you can display a sub-window that simultaneously displays the image being input through the VIDEO or S-VIDEO terminal. This function is called “picture-in-picture” or “P-IN-P”. RGB input image VIDEO (or S-VIDEO) input image z The initial default setting for the sub-window input source is VIDEO. Use the setup menu when you want to change the sub-window input source to S-VIDEO.
