MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual 2 Introduction 2.1 General Description The NEC TheaterSync (see Figure 1) is a high performance video signal processor intended as a companion for plasma and projector displays. TheaterSync brings the power of Silicon Optix HQVTM (“Hollywood Quality Video”TM) technology to viewers of plasma and projector displays.
TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F Figure 2: Typical TheaterSync Application TheaterSync also performs a number of useful signal processing functions such as high-quality video scaling, switching, extreme keystone correction and audio delay, thus eliminating the requirement for stand-alone scalers or audio delay units within your system.

MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual 4 TheaterSync User Interface 4.1 IR Remote Control All TheaterSync user interface controls are accessed via infrared (IR) remote control. The remote has three groups of controls: a) OSM Navigation (including the Operate/Setup Key), b) Video Source Selection, and c) HQV Feature Selection.
TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F The Operate/Setup button toggles the TheaterSync between “Operate” and “Setup” modes of operation (as described in the next section of this User Interface chapter). The Menu button is used to invoke the OSM main menu. The Up/Down/Left/Right Arrow buttons are used to navigate the OSM. The Enter/Select button is used to activate an OSM menu selection.
MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual 4.2.1 Operate Mode Operate Mode is entered by toggling the Operate/Setup button on the IR remote. A brief transition of about 3 seconds occurs when Operate Mode is entered. During this transition period, the 24 x 2 LCD Display indicates THEATERSYNC Please Wait In Operate Mode, the video output signals are activated and you may control all of TheaterSync parameters with the remote control (except for Setup restricted parameters, as noted below).
TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual MKT-0026-UMN-1.002F parameters, such as Output Resolution. Visual feedback for the adjustments of Setup Mode is seen on the 24 x 2 LCD display, rather than on OSM of the main screen. Sensitive parameters are placed in the Setup Menu so that an inadvertent key stroke with the IR remote does not cause a change in a parameter that would be difficult to recover from.
