6.7.5 Verifying the colors after correction

CAUTION: Set anamorphic factor to 1.0 before verifying the colors after correction.

Overview
The color coordinates of the projected image after correction can be verified by measuring the coordinates
on the screen again. The measured values should be the values as indicated on the interface.

This part of the color correction procedure is optional.

How to verify for Color path selection “Single”

1. Click on Verify Corrected Colors (1). (image 6-21)
The verify colors window opens (2)).
2. Select a color button.

6.8 Automation
6.8.1 General purpose inputs configuration
What is possible
This interface enables the user to configure the automation system that is present inside the projector
(standard GPI configuration). The touch panel enables the user to couple a macro file to a rising edge or
falling edge on one of the inputs of the GPI connector (DB37).

GPI 1 and GPI 2 are reserved for 3D purposes and cannot be changed by the user.
GPI 1 : rising edge triggers the 3D L/R input reference. This reference indicates which
frame is Right and which frame is Left depending and the used polarity. For more info,
see 3D settings.
GPI 2 : rising edge triggers the 3D L/R display reference. It is used to specify which
frame of eye data is to be displayed during a specific display frame.

Overview
Users with multiple installations want to setup these installation in the same way. The same macros linked
with the same buttons, etc. Therefore it is handy to setup one system and then to make a copy of the
created macro files with all its links. This is called cloning.
Also, before changing the Input and Communication interface, make a clone of the specific settings so
that these settings can be restored in a new unit.
A clone file can be restored on identical projectors.

Different options are available to create a clone file:

• Basic cloning with a preset clone mode: all presets (macros) that are linked to a button and the files
the presets are pointing to, including the position on the touch panel and local keypad are zipped in
the clone file. Setup specific files are normally not included in the zip file.
• Advanced cloning, individual preset clone: only one specific preset (macro) and the files the preset is
pointing to is included in the zip file.
• Advanced cloning, specific file type: clones all files of a specific file type. E.g. clone of all PCF files.
• Advanced cloning, individual files: clones specific files of different types you want to clone.
• Full backup clone, clones every setting and file of the projector.
• Full backup, backup clone TI board only.
• Full backup, backup clone Barco controller only.

8.2.2 About custom settings

Overview
It is possible to define what each type of user can do with the touch panel application. A difference can
be set for users and service technicians.
The setup is done in an user management xml file which can be edited externally and then uploaded via
Load custom settings.
Each item can have a Read attribute or a ReadWrite attribute or both. This attribute can be 50, 100 or
150. The attribute value defines what is accessible for certain user profile.

50 default user access level

100 theatre technician access level
150 service technician access level

When an attribute is set to 50, then the default user, theatre technician and service technician have access.
When set to 150, only the service technician has access. So, the higher the value, the less people with
access rights.
The default access file is given below.
This file can be used as starting point to create your own file. Copy and paste the file below in an XML
editor or notepad and edit the file. Only the lines which are different to the current setting should be
included in the file. When finished, save the file on a USB stick or upload it on the touch panel so that it
can be loaded as new settings.

Default user access file

This file contains all available items which are possible on the touch panel. This file is not multilingual.
