[. . . ] NOTE: If you are connecting to a panel or projector that supports the coding of HDCP encrypted material on its DVI input, you must connect to that DVI input using TheaterSync's HDMI OUT connector (and an HDMI to DVI adapter). To power up the unit, press the Power switch located on the rear of the unit, close to the power cord. The On/Setup button on the front panel may be used to put the unit into a low-power state (Setup Mode). NOTE: When TheaterSync is in Setup (Stand-by) Mode, the output to the projector or panel is temporarily suspended. Select the output resolution to match the native resolution of the display device: a) Place the unit in Setup (Stand-by) Mode by toggling the Operate/Setup button on the IR remote (or by using the On/Setup button on the unit's front panel). b) Using the up/down arrow keys of the remote, cycle through the different setup modes (which will be displayed on the box LCD display) until the output resolution mode is selected ("OUT = xxx" will appear on the LCD display, where `xxx' is the current active output resolution) c) Using the left/right arrow keys, select the desired output resolution. Return TheaterSync to Operate Mode by pushing the On/Setup button on the front panel or the Power button on the IR Remote. Further adjustments may be made using the TheaterSync OSM (On-Screen Menu). Page 14 NEC Solutions, Inc. TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual MKT-0026-UMN-1. 002F For projection applications where keystone correction is required, continue with the following steps: 6. If the projector has an AUTOSET or AUTODETECT feature, disable this function. These projector modes may cause image distortion if a keystone-corrected image is applied to the projector input. Select the "Advanced" menu from the TheaterSync OSM, then select "Projection", and "Horizontal and Vertical Keystone" submenus. Using the up/down arrow keys, select in turn each of the image corner sliders and then use the left/right arrow keys to move the corner to the desired location on the screen. Continue adjustments until the projected image matches the target screen geometry. NEC Solutions, Inc.

The remote has three groups of controls: a) OSM Navigation (including the Operate/Setup Key), b) Video Source Selection, and c) HQV Feature Selection. You may also select video sources and HQV processing features through the OSM navigation controls, however dedicated IR remote keys provide you with quick one-touch access to the most frequently used commands. Figure 5 illustrates the TheaterSync remote control. Figure 5: TheaterSync Remote Control A description of the various buttons and their functions is as follows: Page 16 NEC Solutions, Inc. TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual MKT-0026-UMN-1. 002F The Operate/Setup button toggles the TheaterSync between "Operate" and "Setup" modes of operation (as described in the next section of this User Interface chapter). Direct (one-touch) input selection is possible using the buttons below: · · · · · · · The RGB button selects the VGA port as the active input. The Video button selects the composite video port as the active input. The SDI button selects the SDI port as the active input Additional buttons are available to directly access key video processing features and to cycle through the available enhancements: · · · · · · The BCE button activates/deactivates the Brightness / Contrast Enhancement feature The Aspect Ratio button cycles through and selects the available aspect ratio treatments available for the current input and output mode combination (for description of aspect ratio treatments, see section 5. 2) The TRNR button accesses the Temporal Recursive Noise Reduction feature, cycling through the four available settings (Off, Low, Medium, and High) The CNR button accesses the Codec Noise Reduction feature, cycling through the four available settings (Off, Low, Medium, and High) The Film button cycles through the three available film mode treatments for active video (Auto Film/Video mode detect, Force to Video mode, Force to Film mode) The Split button activates/deactivates a split-screen mode for direct comparison of the image with and without noise reduction activated. 4. 2 TheaterSync Operational Modes TheaterSync has two operational modes, Operate and Setup. TheaterSync also enables selection of the Operate Mode with RS-232, USB, or Ethernet. NEC Solutions, Inc. Page 17 MKT-0026-UMN-1. 002F TheaterSync Video Processor User Manual 4. 2. 1 Operate Mode Operate Mode is entered by toggling the Operate/Setup button on the IR remote. A brief transition of about 3 seconds occurs when Operate Mode is entered. During this transition period, the 24 x 2 LCD Display indicates THEATERSYNC Please Wait In Operate Mode, the video output signals are activated and you may control all of TheaterSync parameters with the remote control (except for Setup restricted parameters, as noted below).

The operation mode of these treatments depends on the aspect ratio of the input channel and the output display. The TheaterSync assumes that the aspect ratio of input and output is consistent with the industry standard definition of the aspect ratio of the particular input signal and video mode. Output aspect ratio is thus determined by the resolution selected by the user in Setup Mode. [. . . ]
