• About a Snapshot
• About storing Configurations and Snapshots

1.1 Introduction
Overview
Projector Toolset is a software tool to set up, configure, manage and control Barco projectors.
The concept of this Projector Toolset software is modular. The basic package can be extended with sev-
eral optional device plug-in modules, now and in the future available.
The Projector Toolset software works with configurations that can be loaded. Within a configuration, differ-
ent snapshots can be taken. A snapshot represents a current state of a configuration and can be reloaded
to return to this typical state. These terms will be used through the complete software.
Projector Toolset is a stand-alone application that runs on a Java Virtual Machine and that does not require
extra services to run.
Several configurations can be controlled simultaneously. Even when the configurations are connected via
different ways.

1.2 About a Configuration

What is a Configuration?
A Configuration is a collection of projectors with all their current settings, connected to a computer. A
configuration can contain different settings, called snapshots, for all the projectors in the configuration.

1.3 About a Snapshot

What is a Snapshot?
A Snapshot is collection of settings of a configuration. Such a snapshot represents the current state of a
configuration.
A snapshot can contain all settings or specific settings as input settings, lamp settings, layout settings or
projector settings. When restoring a snapshot, only the stored settings will be restored. The others remain
on their current value.

1.4 About storing Configurations and Snapshots

Overview
All information is stored by default in the install directory of Projector Toolset in the subdirectory Workspace.

R59770277 PROJECTOR TOOLSET 09/11/2009 5

1. Basic concepts

Configurations are directly under the subdirectory Workspace and have the extension .config. Snapshots
are stored in a subdirectory of Workspace, called Snapshots. The files have the extension .snapshot .
This structure makes it possible to zip the workspace and send it the another computer for further use.
To make a backup of all your configurations and snapshots, just make a copy of Workspace with all its
content.

3.8.1 About snapshots

Overview
At any moment the settings for a configuration can be saved in a snapshot file. This snapshot file can be
loaded again to create the same situation as when the snapshot was taken.
A snapshot can contain:
• All settings
• All layout settings
• All input settings
• Lamp settings
• Projector settings

Snapshot
A snapshot is a collection of settings at a given point of time for a configuration

3.8.2 Managing snapshots

Overview
When opening the snapshot window an overview of all available snapshots is given. A snapshot file is
built up as a tree of settings.
To open this tree of settings, click on the ’+’ sign to expand a branch.
A yellow warning symbol in front of the snapshot name means that something inside the snapshot does
not correspond with the current active configuration. Expand the snapshot tree to see the differences.
Such a snapshot can be applied to the current configuration but only the corresponding setting are loaded
and for the other settings, the current values remain in place.
Some examples when a warning symbol can be displayed:

• projector not (anymore) in the configuration

• inputs on projector are swapped, or missing.
When a snapshot is selected, the name of the snapshot is yellow.

5.4.3 Set up a Ethernet connection for a single device

Possibilities
To establish a Ethernet connection, the following ways are possible:
• Enter an IP address per device
• Enter a host name per device
• Scan the net work for the connected devices

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broad-
cast query for projectors/touch panels.

DNS server
Computers, Projectors, Touch panels connected to a network are referenced by their IP ad-
dress. The only problem is that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use
hundreds of addresses then it will become impossible to remember them. This is why domain
names are created. Internet names (domain and host names) are just aliases to these IP ad-
dresses. When you use an Internet address it is automatically translated to an IP address. In
fact a program or device that translates those Internet names to IP addresses is called a DNS
Server.

Via entering an IP address

1. Select the Connection properties tab (a). (image 5-6)
The right pane changes to the connection setup page.
2. Click on the radio button in front of IP address (b).
3. Enter the IP address (c).

5.12.9.5 Input balance

5.12.9.5.1 Introduction to Input Balance

Introduction: Unbalanced color signals
When transporting signals, there is always a risk of deterioration of the information contained in the signals.
In case of information contained in the amplitude of the signals which is the case of data color signals (R,
G, B),image 5-37 , we are quite sure that the amplitude of these color signals is subject to alterations.
An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset reposi-
tioning the black level, since this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on (clamping circuit)
it will result in “black not being black”.
Another value that is subject to alteration is the amplitude of the signal, resulting in an altered “Gain” of
the signal (“white level” or contrast).
The alterations of the three color signals will happen independently i.e. the colors will end to be unbal-
anced, image 5-38

One can conclude here that a good color tracking can only be met by using three previ-
ously (input) balanced color signals

Analog Digital Conversion

The analog color signals must pass through an Analog/Digital conversion circuit prior to any digital pro-
cessing in the PMP.
A typical ADC transforms the analog value into an 8 bit coded digital signal.
The graphic shows that when converting a signal containing a DC offset component the range of the
converter is not optimally used.

Image 5-39

One can conclude here that a good data conversion can only be met by using three
previously (input) balanced color signals

The objective of input balancing

The objective in input balancing is to “set” the same black level and the same white level for the three
colors of a particular input source.

Black level setting : brightness

White level setting : contrast

The same absolute black and white level for the three colors allows the same reference for Brightness
and Contrast control of the picture !
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).

5.12.9.5.2 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
black 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

A B

Image 5-40

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.

1. Click on Input balance (1). (image 5-42)
A question dialog box is displayed (2). This box announces that special lookup tables are needed
while adjusting input balance. Click Yes to load these tables and to enter the input balance adjustment
procedure (3). The Input balance dialog box is displayed (4).
2. Adjust the red black balance on a minimal value

R59770277 PROJECTOR TOOLSET 09/11/2009 75

5. Configurator

3. Select Black balance blue and adjust the blue black level on a minimal value.
Note: This minimal 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 minimize the effect of the two other colors
since there is a risk of reaching too soon the 50% transition due to the contribution of these two
other colors signals.
4. Select Black balance green and adjust the Green black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
5. Select Black balance blue adjust the Blue black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
6. Select Black balance red adjust the Red black level until bright spots appear on the screen.
The projected image should now be noisy full black

If one uses a gray scale pattern, the bright spots should appear in the black bar.

Performing White input balance

1. Connect the source you want to project.
2. Select a white pattern (or gray scale as alternative).
3. Adjust the red white level (gain) on a minimal value

Switching to high altitude mode will increase the noise level of the device.
About Power mode : The lamp power mode can be switched between Normal and Economic. When
playing in Economic mode, the life time of the active lamp(s) will increase.
Normal : maximum allowed power is fed to the lamp(s). Maximum light output is reached in this way.
Economic : a reduced wattage is fed to the lamp(s). Reduced light output but a longer life time for the
lamp(s).

How to change the lamp power mode

1. To switch to high altitude mode, check the check box next to High Altitude mode (1).
2. To change the Power mode, click on the drop down box next to Power mode and select the desired

5.14.5 White peaking

What can be done ?
In video centric applications true color reproduction is generally a priority over brightness. To achieve this
a typical design will not utilize a white segment of the color wheel. This has the side effect of reducing the
amount of light allowed through the color wheel, which reduces the overall brightness. To compensate
for this a technique can applied called Spoke Light Capture (SLR). The spokes are defined to be the time
between colors. If the light is passed through the spokes, the average over time across them is made
up of a mixture of the two adjacent colors. This will result in a secondary color. Color processing can
take advantage of this situation. Combining red with green yields yellow light. Similarly, combining red
with blue yields magenta while combining blue with green yields cyan. The BrilliantColor™ technology
is configured to process the spoke regions as a secondary color which improves the brightness of the
display and gives the viewer a truly life-like image.
If after all, the viewer is not satisfied with the color reproduction, he still has the chance to change the
white peaking.

5.14.7 ScenergiX

5.14.7.1 Introduction
Why ScenergiX ?
When working in a multichannel setup the Projector Toolset and its Soft Edge possibilities enable an image
blending that gives the appearance of a single view, thus achieving realistic immersion for the majority of
wide screen applications.

Image 5-63
Why Soft Edge?

What is the Basic Principal of ScenergiX ?

The principle of edge blending is achieved by linear modulation of the light output in the overlap zone so
that the light output in that zone equals the light output of the rest of the image.

5.14.7.7 Adjusting the black level of the images

Why black level adjustment
For dark images, the overlap zone will be brighter then the rest of the images. Typically for DLP projectors,
next to the overlap zone, a brighter area is recognized. This area is known as a DLP leakage area. This
area must also be exclude for the black level adjustment. Therefore we can rise the black level of the
remaining image (excluding the overlap zone and the DLP leakage area).
First, the width of the leakage area must be set. The white cursor line indicates the border of the overlap
area. The green cursor line indicates the current installed DLP leakage area border and starts at the
position of the white cursor line (no width installed). This green line can be moved to the border of the
DLP leakage area with the cursor keys.

5.15.1 About DMX data

Overview
DMX data is a value that is sent on a specific channel to a specific DMX address. Only the device with
that specific DMX address will recognize the command and will execute that command.
Some adjustments consist out of 2 channels to update a setting. The first channel of the pair provides
coarse control changes, the second channel provides fine control changes. Some examples are ’pan’ and
’tilt’.

5.15.2 DMX control via Sliders

Channel grouping
The channels are grouped in tab pages:

• Moving light : Channel 1 to 15. Contains the mode control and all commands to control the move-
ments of the DML and all different colors that the DML can produce.
• Video : Channel 16 to 51. Contains the video control functions when mode is set to video.
• Media player : Channel 52 to 74. Contains the media player functions.
• Layer 1 & layer 2 : Channel 75 to 101 and Channel 102 to 128. Contains the layer control functions

Adjusting a channel
1. First select the channel group. Click on the corresponding tab page (1). (image 5-73)
2. Click on a slider (2) and move up or down until the desired value is reached.

104 R59770277 PROJECTOR TOOLSET 09/11/2009

5.16.1 Ethernet Connection

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local
area network.

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a
local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the
Internet.

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organi-
zation’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet
needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection
to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP ad-
dress must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location
in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network ad-
ministrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends
a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

What should be set up for the Ethernet address

2 ways can be used to assign an address:

• use the DHCP setting so that a automatic address will be assigned.

• Assign manually an IP address, Subnet-mask, default gateway address.
- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. The IP address identifies a projector’s location on the
network in the same way a street address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address
must identify a unique residence, an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.
- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on
the same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local
network. If there is no router on the projector’s local subnet then just set this field to any IP-Address
on the subnet.

5.16.2 DML network settings

About the network settings
An IP address can be obtained dynamically through a DHCP server, or it can use an ArtNet address which
is automatically assigned or it can be a fixed address.

5.16.2.2 Obtain automatically an IP address via ArtNet

About Art-Net and Art-Net address range
To send DMX data on Ethernet, all the devices must follow the Art-Net protocol which subscripts that the
Ethernet address has to start with 2. followed by 3 octets calculated on the MAC address of the device.
By default, the Projector Toolset host will be moved also to the new address otherwise no communication
is possible between the Projector Toolset host and the devices.

Different universes can be defined so that more devices can be controlled. Each universe must have a
unique address between 0 and 255. That unique address is built-up by a subnet and an ID. Both can be
changed from 0 to 15 (or in hex value from 0 to F). The combination of both [(1) + (2)] gives a hex value
in the lower rectangle (3) and an equivalent decimal value in the upper rectangle (4).

5.17.1 About warping

Overview
Image warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for the distortion of the
screen. Consequently, it can also be used to generate an image with irregular shape.
While an image can be transformed in various ways, pure warping doesn’t affect the colors.
Some examples of warped images, using the warp geometry settings:

Image 5-84 Image 5-85

Example 1 : distorted image Example 2 : distorted image

Creation of warping settings

Warping settings can be created via Warping commands which are directly send to selected device(s) or
via a warp user interface which allows to manipulate almost any point on any place in the image so that
the desired image is displayed. The settings created via the user interface can be stored in a file and this
file can be downloaded in the selected device(s). Once the file is downloaded it can be recalled via DMX
channel 56. For more info, consult the user guide of the DML.

5.17.2 Type of warping selection

How to make the selection
1. While in the Warping tab page, click on the corresponding button.
For warping with commands, click on Warp with Commands.

Each dot in the grid indicates a node. The small dots are not active nodes and cannot be moved. The
bigger dots are active nodes and can be moved during the warping setup.
Active dots can have different colors when moving this dots.

• Green : node is not moved or is moved over less than 10% of its possible moving range. No problems
for the warping board.
• Yellow (orange yellow) : node is moved over 10 to 20%. An warning can occur on the warping board
but it is not sure.
• Red : node is moved over more than 20. Error status for the warping board.

5.18.8 Add a hard edge

What can be done ?
A horizontal or vertical line can be set on the grid as a hard edge. The nodes on this line are fixed and
cannot be influenced by a move of other nodes. This hard edge insertion can be done before or after node
manipulations.
Practical example: when projecting to a corner, one part of the image is displayed on one side and the
other part on the other side of the corner, than a hard edge can be set just in the corner to fixate these
nodes so that the image breaks exactly in the corner.

Image 5-114
Hard edge in corner

Limitations
Some limitations must be taken in account will adding a hard edge.
1. Hard edges should stay 32 pixels from the border of the image.
2. Vertical hard edge are a multiple of 4 pixels. That means that a vertical hard edge can be placed on
32 or 36 or 40, etc. pixels from the border.
3. Horizontal hard edge are a multiple of 8 pixels. That means that a horizontal hard edge can be placed
on 32 or 40 or 48, etc pixels from the border.

Only one horizontal and one vertical hard edge can be added.

How to add
1. Select the radio button in front of Manipulate hard edges (1). (image 5-115)

 Glossary

GLOSSARY

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a local network
(LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network administrators
manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization’s network. Using the
Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an
organization sets up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned
to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer and, if com-
puters move to another location in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP
lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically
sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

DNS server
Computers, Projectors, Touch panels connected to a network are referenced by their IP address. The
only problem is that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use hundreds of addresses
then it will become impossible to remember them. This is why domain names are created. Internet names
(domain and host names) are just aliases to these IP addresses. When you use an Internet address it is
automatically translated to an IP address. In fact a program or device that translates those Internet names
to IP addresses is called a DNS Server.

Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broadcast query
for projectors/touch panels.

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Preferences
Preferences determine the default behavior of the software. Some preferences can be generally set for
the complete software, some others are only for the different plug-in modules.

SMTP
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending E-mail.

Snapshot
A snapshot is a collection of settings at a given point of time for a configuration

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local area network.

Tool tip
Pop up information when moving the mouse pointer over a menu item or an icon in the tool bar.

tpi file
Device plug-in file for Projector Toolset.
