4.6.2 OUTPUT 50HZ OR 60HZ AUTOMA TICALL Y If your display supports 50Hz input and can produce real 50Hz refresh rate video image*, it is better to configure Crystalio II to output 50Hz resolution when source video is 50Hz (i.e. P AL signal); and output 60Hz resolution when the source video is 60Hz (i.

4.6.3.2 CALIBRA TE THE VIDEO LEVEL AND COLOR BAL ANCE OF Y OUR VIDEO SOURCES Once you have calibrated your display for correct video output levels and color balance, you don’t have to calibrate your video sources if they also have correct video level and color balance .
Step 6: Repeat step 3 to step 5 until the brightness and contrast settings need not be changed, and R/G/B Offset and R/G/B Gain settings of the video source are satisfactory .
If your projector’s native output is 4:3 (e.g. some 1400x1050 LCOS projectors) and you are using an anamorphic lens to compress it to show a 16:9 image, you need to configure the Screen Shape to be 16:9 instead of the default 4:3 .
refresh rate. For example, let’s take a 1280 x 720 @ 60Hz timing which has 720 active lines, a vertical front porch of 3, a vertical sync width of 7 and a vertical back porch of 23. T otal vertical figure becomes 753; multiply this by the vertical refresh rate of 60 and the answer is 45180.
4.7.3 BASIC CALIBRA TION See Section 4.6.3 for help with picture calibration. Most of the basic steps for pixel-based displays apply except for CRT projectors. They may have more control over color balance, which generally involves the ability to calibrate and store color balance per projector source memory .
