5. Getting Started 5.4 LCD panel address Overview • 5.4.1 IR address • Displaying and Programming IR addresses into the RCU • RS232 address • Controlling the Solaris LC40 with the RCU IR address Why a IR address ? As more than one Solaris LC40 can be installed in a room, the separate Solaris LC40 should be separately addressable with an RCU. Therefor each Solaris LC40 has its own address. Set up an individual IR Address. The set up of a LCD panel IR address can be done via the software.
5. Getting Started Picture Controls When an image control is pressed, a text box with a bar scale, icon and function name of the control, e.g. ’brightness...’ appears on the screen (only if OSD is ON). The length of the bar scale and the value of the numeric indication indicate the current memorized setting for this source. The bar scale changes as the arrows on the RCU are pressed. Brightness : 128 0 255 Image 5-3 Brightness setting The picture settings are saved in the image file.
5. Getting Started Treble Treble control adjusts the treble level (high tones). Use the + button for more high tones. Use the - button for less high tones. Balance Is only effective if a external amplifier with loudspeakers is connected to the audio output. The balance control adjust the sound level between the left and the right box. Use the + button for a higher sound level on the right box than on the left one. Use the - button for a higher sound level on the left box than on the right one.
5. Getting Started E.g. to show source 4 in a PiP window, enter 94 with the digits on the RCU. The selected source will be displayed on the same place as it was previously displayed during previous PiP session. A PiP source is always displayed in landscape. Use of the function keys When PiP is active, the following function are available when the key is pressed: F1 first time PiP window in left bottom corner. Small version. F2 second time PiP window in left bottom corner. Enlarged version.

Glossary GLOSSARY 2:2 pull-down The process of transferring 24-frames/sec film format into video by repeating each frame (used for PAL DVD’s) as two video fields. ( AD ) 3:2 pull-down Method used to map the 24 fps of film onto the 30 fps (60 fields) or 25 fps (50 fields), so that one film frame occupies three video fields, the next two, etc. It means the two fields of every other video frame come from different film frames making operations such as rotoscoping impossible, and requiring care in editing.
