Aspect Controls

16:9– Linearly scale the source active image horizontally and vertically to fill the 16:9 rectangle of the designated image area.

Letterbox– Remove the top and bottom 1/8th of the source active image.– Linearly scale the remaining part of the source active image horizontally and vertically to fill the 16:9 rectangle of the

designated image area.4:3– Linearly scale the source active image horizontally and vertically to fill a 4:3 rectangle which is centered and the same height

as the 16:9 designated image area. The remaining area shall be black for the Active source and transparent for the PIP source.

4:3 Narrow– Linearly scale the source active image horizontally and vertically to fill a 3:3 rectangle which is centered and the same height

as the 16:9 designated image area. The remaining area shall be black for the Active source and transparent for the PIP source.

– Note that this aspect ratio is only useful with anamorphic lenses.Native– Do not scale the source active image vertically. For SDTV and EDTV sources, scale the source active image horizontally to

achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio. For all other sources do not scale horizontally. Center the image in the designated image area. If there is any remaining area inside of the designated image area, it shall be black for the Active source and transparent for the PIP source.

Assignable 12V Triggers“Lamp” will cause the port to output 12 volts whenever the lamp is on.

“16:9” will cause the port to output 12 volts whenever the 16:9 aspect ratio is chosen.

“Letterbox” will cause the port to output 12 volts whenever the Letterbox aspect ratio is chosen. The output will stop if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).

“4:3” will cause the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 aspect ratio is chosen. The output will stop if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).

“4:3 Narrow” will cause the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 Narrow aspect ratio is chosen. The output will stop if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).

RS232 will cause the port to output 12 volts when an RS232 screen trigger 1 “on” command is received and stop when a trigger 1 “off” command is received. The 12 volt output will also stop when the projector is turned off.


Contrast and Brightness are a trade off in any standard projector

Projector system contrast is largely controlled by the system aperture, which is the fixed “eye” through which the lamp light shines.

When a projector aperture is designed large, lots of light comes through, but the contrast is lower.

When a projector aperture is designed small, the contrast is higher but less light gets through.

Problem: With traditional projector design, a projector can be bright or have very high contrast, not both.

By increasing the electronic gain of the system, we can use the full dynamic range of the DMD

An optical aperture can then reduce the image to the correct level, maintaining the dynamic range and lowering the black level

What does DLP® Dynamic Black do?In DLP® Dynamic Black, the “pupil”dilates and contracts dynamically in order to maximize contrast for any given scene.

Just like the Human Eye, the aperture is dynamically sized for the scene it is viewing.

Benefit: By dynamically controlling contrast, bright scenes appear brighter while dark scenes are darker and maintain great depth of detail. You no longer have to choose between brightness and contrast: you can have both.

UniShape

Projector Lamps are poor at producing the color red so in order to achieve accurate colors the red segment dominates 50% or the color wheel

This reduces the color output of the Green and Blue segment. Yielding low lumens

This type of color wheel increases dithering (video noise)

This also leads to a reduction in the bit depth or color output

UniShape

By increasing the lamps output for only the red segment we can realize the full power of the lamp

Advantages– More colours (1-2 additional bits per colour possible)

– More Brightness and Contrast

– More colours at dark scenes

– Less artifacts - dithering, and rainbow effects

Gamma Controls

CRT is a 2.5 power law gamma function.Film is a 2.2 power law gamma function.Video is similar to Film gamma but differs in dark areas of the image to correspond to the function that video cameras use to create images. To do this it will use the ITU BT.709 gamma function multiplied by a 2.2/2.5 power to compensate for the implied CRT multiplier.Bright is a 2.0 power law gamma function.Graphics is the DLP “Graphics Enhanced”gamma. This gamma should only be used for computer presentations that require increased brightness at the cost of grayscale accuracy.

Picture in Picture Functions

Top Left– This places the PIP source into a 644x362 designated

image area at the top left of the screen-safe area of the DMD.

Top Right– This places the PIP source into a 644x362 designated

image area at the top right of the screen-safe area of the DMD. This is the default.

Bottom left– This places the PIP source into a 644x362 designated

image area at the bottom left of the screen-safe area of the DMD.

Bottom Right– This places the PIP source into a 644x362 designated

image area at the bottom right of the screen-safe area of the DMD.

Picture-By-Picture– This reduces the designated image area of the Active

source to 921x518 and places it next to the PIP source, which is also in a 921x518 image area. These two images are centered on the screen.

Split Screen Mode

After BeforeThis is a special mode in which the active source is also used as the PIP source and is placed in a PIP area equal to half the display on the left side. This results in the right half of the image being the active source and the left half is the PIP source. The PIP image settings will be the “User Memory 2”settings. This special mode is useful for viewing “before” and “after” settings for any image parameter within the processor control set.


Sharpness Controls

Sharpness– This will adjust the overall sharpness of

the Active source. This control is only available if the “sharpness mode” is set to “simple”.

Sharpness Mode– This toggle controls whether or not the

user has access to the detailed sharpness controls. In “simple” mode only the top slider will be adjustable with the others grayed out. In “advanced” mode the top slider will be grayed out. In simple mode we will use values for all of the sliders that correspond to what Planar believes will produce the best picture from the most popular sources.


DLP Frame Rate Control

This control will choose the frame rate out of the Gennum processor and into the DLP formatter. Note that the PIP source, if present, will be frame rate converted to the same frame rate as the main source.

• “Auto” will frame lock to the main source if it has a vertical refresh from 48-62Hz. 24-31Hz sources will have their vertical refresh rates doubled. Frame rates between 31 and 48Hz and above 62Hz will be converted to 60Hz. This is the default setting.

• “48Hz” will force the output frame rate to 48Hz. For 60Hz film-based sources this will remove the 2:3 pull-down judder.

• “50Hz” will force the output frame rate to 50Hz.

• “60Hz” will force the output frame rate to 60Hz.


Noise Reduction Controls

“Noise Reduction”– This will adjust the overall noise reduction

of the Active source. This control is only available if the “noise reduction mode” is set to “simple”.

“Noise Reduction Mode”– This toggle controls whether or not the

user has access to the detailed noise reduction controls. In “simple” mode only the top slider will be adjustable with the others grayed out. In “advanced” mode the top slider will be grayed out. In simple mode we will use values for all of the sliders that correspond to what Planar believes will produce the best picture from the most popular sources.
