• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values
defined in digital component standards.
Video Standard: Select Video Standard from the Advanced menu to specify
the color system for composite video or S-Video input signals.
Different countries use different formats for video signals. Select the appropriate
Video Standard for your region:
•Auto: The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set
accordingly.
•PAL: This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the
world, typically with a 50Hz frame rate.
•SECAM: This is a standard format used mainly in France and Russia.
•NTSC: This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
Gamma: Select Gamma from the Advanced menu to choose a DLP
de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast
while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.
If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or
impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to
compensate. This improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks.
Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in
black areas, increase the setting.
• CRT sets the gamma to 2.5.
• Film sets the gamma to 2.2.
• 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.
• Bright sets the gamma to 2.0.
• Graphics should only be used for computer presentations that require
increased brightness at the cost of grayscale accuracy.
Color Temperature: Color temperature defines the “color of gray;” that is,
adjusts the 75% white point to various color points.
To choose a color temperature setting, select Color Temperature from the
Advanced menu. Then, press or to select 5500K, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K or
Native. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations. Higher
settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish hue to the
image. Select Native to disable white point adjustment of the source signal.
