Section 1 Introduction 1.1 The Projector The Madrigal Imaging MP-8 and MP-9 projectors are ultra high resolution graphics projectors compatible with virtually all input sources. Their superior performance and high quality projected images place them well above other projection systems in their class.
INTRODUCTION Should projector servicing be required, service personnel can use the keypad to make service adjustments and alignments. In some cases the projector may be serviced without accessing the projector’s internal circuitry. Projector settings, usually different for different sources, are stored in memory for each individual source. These settings are retained until changed by the user, even if power is removed from the projector.
Section 2 Installation & Setup This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to quickly set it up for temporary use, follow the Quick Setup instructions in section 2.1. For a complete setup, skip section 2.1 and follow the instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections. 2.

CONSIDERATIONS • Requires separate room. • Installation cost is usually higher. Rear Screen, Floor Mount With Mirror ADVANTAGES • Projector is completely hidden. • Usually good ambient light rejection. • Less space is required behind the screen than other rear screen installations. Screen Type ➤ CONSIDERATIONS • Requires separate room.
INSTALLATION & SETUP Curved Screen (gain >1) Audience Coverage Figure 2-2. Audience Coverage with Curved Screen Curved screens have gains larger than 1 and viewing angles much less than 180°. Most curved screens have different horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Incident light does not reflect equally in all directions. The reflected light concentrates in a conical volume or “viewing cone”. Audiences within the viewing cone see a brighter image than that from an equal area on a flat screen.
INSTALLATION & SETUP Screen Size and ➤ Throw Distance Screen size and throw distance are interrelated. (See Appendices F and G.) As screen size increases, the distance between the projector and the screen also increases. During projection room design, make sure that the room can accommodate the required position of the projector for the screen size you need. Screen Size Screen sizes vary according to model and lens type. (See Appendices F and G.
INSTALLATION & SETUP Lighting ➤ Proper lighting is another important factor when designing a projection room. Visiting a movie theatre can give you an idea of what makes a good projection environment. All walls, floors and furnishings are dull colored and non-reflectively finished. Every effort should be made to create the best environment for your system. When designing a projection room, try to avoid white, reflective ceilings and non-directional lighting such as fluorescent lights.

In the second example the right side of the image increases in horizontal size while the left side decreases in horizontal size. Select C Linearity from the Geometry menu.
OPERATION 3.6 Convergence Registration Convergence Registration is the process of aligning the red, green, and blue color components on the projection screen. The projector’s convergence system provides accurate color registration in 45 discrete convergence zones configured in a 9 by 5 array on the projection screen. Since the projector must converge colors differently for each source (due to varying scan frequencies), convergence settings are saved for each input.
OPERATION The following options are available while performing any of the manual convergence routines: Convergence on Image When a convergence method is first selected, an internally generated crosshatch test pattern is displayed. Alternatively, you may override the use of the test pattern and have the external image displayed. Press # to cycle to the external image.
OPERATION Within each zone, a central control point defines the position of each color within the zone. You will notice that the center position within the box is most sensitive to the adjustment. This is where the control point is located. Continue using to move to the next zone/color for adjustment. If you wish to go back to a previous zone, press . Once all 45 zones have been converged an Exit dialog box is displayed, as shown below.
OPERATION Random Access ➤ Convergence Press 3 from the Convergence menu to select Random Access Convergence. A red and green crosshatch is displayed with a rectangular box at the center zone. Above the box, “CONV” indicates that the zone is ready for convergence. Use the arrow keys to move the red onto the green within the box. This affects the position of the red with respect to the green over the entire screen (static convergence). To change the convergence color, press .
OPERATION ACON Automatic ➤ Convergence CON Press 4 from the Convergence Menu to display the ACON Auto-Convergence Menu. The menu displays five ACON options for selection and shows the most recent ACON status message (if there is one).

Item 6, Remote Control Options, allows you to modify the projector’s communication settings for communication with external control devices such as remote keypads.
OPERATION interpolating between “the two closest” setup memories. This feature is very useful when adding a new source to the system and/or when much adjustment is required. By using the “ASI with Save” feature, the projector can do most of the required adjustments for you. To perform an “ASI with Save”, press 2 from the Source Setup menu. A dialog box is displayed. Press to move the cursor bar to “Do It” then press . New display settings will immediately be calculated and saved in the current setup memory.
OPERATION When ASR is on, the projector monitors the current input for horizontal and vertical scan frequency changes. When a frequency change occurs, the current Input memory and all Recall memories are scanned in search of a memory with matching scan frequencies. If one exists, this memory becomes the current setup memory. If a matching memory is not found, an ASI is performed. ASI automatically adjusts display settings based on the settings of other setup memories stored in the projector.
OPERATION When to use the ASR feature... The ASR feature is intended for use when many different sources must share the same input (via a third party switcher, for example) or when a signal source can output several different scan frequencies (e.g., a SVGA card). Example A system has six different sources as shown in Figure 3-7. Source “A” is a video camera. Source “B” is a VCR. Sources “C” through “F” are various computers.

Appendix A Glossary This appendix defines many of the terms used in this manual as they apply to the Madrigal Imaging MP-8 and MP-9 projection system. ACON (Automatic ➤ Convergence) ACON is an automatic convergence feature. Convergence of the red, green and blue images is performed accurately and automatically with minimal user intervention. ASI (Automatic ➤ Source Interpolation) A process whereby a display setup for a given source is approximated from other setups already in memory.
GLOSSARY Autolock ➤ Bandwidth ➤ Blanking Time ➤ The ability of the projector to automatically synchronize to the horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of an input signal. The frequency range of the projector's video amplifier. The time inside one scan line during which video is not generated. The blanking time of the input signal must be equal to or greater than the retrace time of the projector. Bow ➤ A horizontal curve in the center of the image, and/or a vertical curve across an image.
GLOSSARY Contrast (ratio) ➤ The ratio of brightness of the brightest possible area to the darkest possible area of an image. Convergence ➤ The alignment of the projected red, green and blue images on the projection screen. Current Setup ➤ Memory The setup memory which is currently being used to display a given source's image. Curved Screen ➤ Decoder ➤ Diffused ➤ Display Setting ➤ Flicker ➤ Frame Rate ➤ Foot-candle ➤ A projection screen which is curved to improve screen gain.
GLOSSARY attenuate incident light; screens with gain more than 1 direct more incident light to the audience but have a narrow viewing angle. For example: An image reflecting off a 10 gain screen appears 10 times brighter than it would if reflected off a matte white wall. Curved screens usually have larger gain than flat screens.
GLOSSARY Keystone ➤ A distortion of the image which occurs when the top and bottom borders of the image are not equal in length. Side borders slant in or out, producing a keystone shaped image. Learn Screen ➤ An ACON function which stores screen position data in memory for future reference. Learn Screen is usually performed only once per projector installation. If the ACON Locator Assembly or screen is moved (i.e.
GLOSSARY Operation Level ➤ Optical Screen ➤ PAL Video ➤ Pincushion ➤ Pixel (Picture ➤ Element) Projector-to- ➤ Screen Distance Protocol ➤ Rear Screen ➤ Recall Memory ➤ A.6 The projector is at operation level when an image is (or may be) displayed and no control, dialog, error, or help messages are displayed. For example, if a help page is displayed, the projector is not at operation level.
GLOSSARY Resolution of ➤ the Projector The smaller of CRT and Lens resolutions. Retrace Time ➤ (Horizontal) The minimum time required for the projector to move the position of the scanning spot from the right edge to the left edge of a CRT. Rise Time ➤ RGB Video ➤ Scan Frequency ➤ Scan Line ➤ SECAM ➤ Setup Memory ➤ The time required by the video amplifier of the projector to increase its output from 10% to 90% of the maximum value. The video output of most computers. It can be analog or digital.
GLOSSARY Sync ➤ This term refers to the part of the video signal that is used to stabilize the picture. Sync can take three forms: 1) "Composite sync" when the horizontal and vertical components are together on one cable. 2) "Sync on green" when the sync is part of the green video. 3) "Separate sync" or "H.SYNC and V.SYNC" when the horizontal and vertical components of the sync are on two separate cables. Sync Width ➤ TTL Video ➤ A type of RGB video with digital characteristics.
GLOSSARY Video Decoder ➤ A device that converts NTSC, PAL, SECAM or NTSC 4.43 video to RGB video (Multi-standard Decoder). Viewing Angle ➤ Screens do not reflect equally in all directions. Most light is reflected in a conical volume which is centered around the "line of best viewing". Maximum brightness is seen when you are positioned within the viewing cone. The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are the horizontal and vertical angles of the cone.
