These two references also set the range in which the ADC will work for that particular source (this explains also why each input
balance setting is linked to a particular source and thus saved in the image file).
9.3.7.2 Adjusting the input balance
How can it be done ?
To balance the three color signals of a particular source there are conditions; in fact we must know the bl
ack and the white level of
the source i.e. :
1. The source in question must be able to generate a white signal, ideally a 100% white (background) full screen pattern
2. The source in question must be able to generate a black signal, ideally a 100% black (background) full screen pattern

White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a
100% white image (image A)
Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a
100% black image (image B).
The changeover from min to max is indicated by the apparition of bright spots also called “digital noise”
An alternative to a full screen White/black pattern is the standard gray scale pattern, the white bar will be used
for white balance and the black bar for black balance.

How to adjust
1. Press Menu to activate the menus and select Image → Image Settings → Input Balance . (image 9-33, image 9-34, image 9-35,
image 9-36)
2. Press ENTER to select.
3. Do you want to use an internally generated test pattern ?
If yes, use the ▲ or ▼ key to select Adjustment Pattern and press ENTER to toggle between [on] and [off]
If no, adjust on the selected source.
4. Use the ▲ or ▼ key to select Red below Black balance and press ENTER.
5. Adjust the red black level on a minimal value
6. Use the ▲ or ▼ key to select Black balance blue and adjust the blue black level on a minimal value.
Note: This m inimal value is not necessary , provided that the 2 other colors are not influencing too much the color to be adjusted,
in fact the aim is to minim ize th e effect of the two o ther colors since there is a risk of reaching too soon the 50% transition
due to the contribution of these two other colors signals.
