Changing Video Resolutions
Depending on your computer's graphic capability, you may
be able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a com-
puter- either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 meg. of memory will
run:
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor)
800 × 600 at 65000 colors.
1024 × 768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run
decreases. With 2 meg. of memory a computer will run:
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
1024 × 768 at 65000 colors.
1280 × 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook Computers And Resolution Standards
The UP-800 Data projector is designed to project industry
standardized video such as VESA (Video Electronics Stand-
ards Association) or VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook
computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever
timing is necessary to match their local LCD display. The end
result is typically not standards. By turning off your note-
book's display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the
real VESA or VGA signal.
For an optimal projected image with a notebook computer, it
is recommended that you use the CUSTOM 6 memory data.
This feature is useful when an S-VGA image (800×600) is
displaying with a notebook computer supported by XGA
(1024×768). See Source Menu on page E-23 for more infor-
mation.
