Adjusting the Black Level

When two images overlap, the overlapping area can appear differently from the areas that do not overlap. You can use the projector's Black Level setting to make the difference less noticeable.


Note: You cannot adjust the black levels while projecting a test pattern, and you may not be able to adjust the black levels correctly if the Geometry Correction settings are set too high. The brightness and tone of the overlapping areas may differ from the rest of the image even after adjusting the black level.
  1. Press the Menu button.
  2. Select the Multi-Projection menu and press  Enter.


  3. Select the Black Level setting and press  Enter.
    Note: The Black Level setting is displayed only if Edge Blending is enabled and at least one (top, bottom, left, right) edge is set to On.
  4. Select the Color Adjustment setting and press  Enter. You see a screen based on the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, and Left Edge settings you selected for the Edge Blending setting.
  5. Select the area you want to adjust and press  Enter.
    Note: The area you selected is displayed in orange. Adjust overlapping areas starting with the brightest areas first. For example, adjust area 2 to match area 1, then adjust area 3 to match area 2.
  6. Adjust the brightness and tone of the areas that do not overlap to match the areas that overlap using the displayed adjustment sliders. Then press the Esc button.


  7. Repeat the previous two steps as needed until all areas match.
  8. If the tone of some areas do not match, you can adjust them using the Area Correction setting. Continue with the next step. Otherwise, press the Menu button to exit.
  9. Press the Esc button to return to the Black Level screen.
  10. Select the Area Correction setting and press  Enter.
  11. Select the Start Adjustments setting and press  Enter. You see a screen with boundary lines indicating areas that are overlapping. The boundary lines are based on the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, and Left Edge settings you selected for the Edge Blending setting.
  12. Use the arrow buttons to select a boundary line of the area you want to adjust and press  Enter. The selected line is displayed in orange.


  13. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the boundary line position and press  Enter.
  14. Use the arrow buttons to select an adjustment point and press  Enter.
    Note: You can change the number of adjustment points displayed by changing the Points setting in the Area Correction menu.
    The selected point turns orange.


  15. Use the arrow buttons to move the point.
  16. To move another point, press the Esc button and repeat the previous two steps.
  17. To move another boundary line, press the Esc button repeatedly until you can select a boundary line.
  18. When you are finished, press the Esc button until you see a confirmation message. Select Yes and press  Enter.
  19. When you are finished, press the Menu button.
Note: Changing the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, or Left Edge settings resets the Black Level setting to its default value.
