One of the most critical aspects to ensure the best results from the VP-12S4 is mounting it properly. To achieve a perfectly proportioned picture the exact throw distance needs to be determined. The FOCUS pattern function allows you to focus the image on the screenand position the projector properly by use of the lens shift, zoom control and throw distance. If mounted above or below the screen, the then you will have to tilt up or down in order to have the image line up to the screen, in which case keystone correction will be needed. The VP-12S4 has a tremendous versatility with regards to mounting, so either reflective or retro-reflective, front or rear projection is possible. With a 1.3 gain screen, the VP-12S4 has recommended light output for a 300 cm diagonal measurement. With the VP-12S4 the black level is extremely good. This allows the use of a true white screen for maximum brightness and contrast, if the room is non- reflective and as dark as possible. Mounting Screens The VP-12S4 accepts all kind of video formats. It is compatible with PAL, SECAM, NTSC, and HDTV. All of those signals can be feeded via Composits(CVBS), S-Video(Y/C), Component(YUV), and RGB. The VP-12S4 also accept computer signals from VGA to XGA and has HDMI input with HDCP for digital video. Full compatibility for all sorts of video formats High pressure lamps used in video projectors changes during playing the color spectrum slightly. This process will happen very slowly and isn't directly noticeable, but itinfluencesthe overall quality. To guarantee exact same picture quality andcolor settingon long time use and also after exchange of the lamp the VP-12S4 comes with an automatic color calibration system. The CT-12 is a high precision measuring instrument enables the customer easy to optimize thepicture at every time he wants. Recommondation is doing it every 250 hours.
