Description
The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals from a variety of
sources for projection onto flat, curved, or rear projection screens. System
inputs are processed to provide separate red, green, and blue image compo-
nents for projection through the projectors three front lenses. The three
primary color components converge on the projection screen to provide a
high quality display output.
Sophisticated processor-based logic and control circuitry provide many of
the automatic features available on the MP-8 and MP-9. This circuitry
interfaces with the keypad and remote control to provide projector control
by the user, such as:
turning the projector on or off
switching input sources
adjusting all display settings such as contrast, brightness, and size
correcting for display effects and input noise
displaying projector operating status screens and on-line help
controlling projector operating settings
