7.6 Presets for zoom - focus - shift

Note: Lens should be motorized.
What can be done?

Zoom, shift and focus values for a certain position of the projector can be stored in a preset. Up to 5 preset can be created.

One of these preset can be activated when necessary. The projector lens goes then automatically to the stored settings. This functionality is very useful when using multiple screen position during a show. Before the show starts you can align the zoom, focus and shift for each screen position and stored in the different presets. During the show, when changing from screen, you just have to call the correct preset and the projector is automatically adjusted for the new screen position.

Tip: It is a good practice to calibrate the zoom/focus/vertical & horizontal shift before working with presets.
To activate a preset

  1. While in the Installation tab, go to the Presets zoom/focus/shift pane and select a preset by clicking on the corresponding radio button.

  2. Click Recall to activate the settings stored in the preset.

    Depending on the Use Overschoot setting, the zoom, focus and shift goes to their stored position.

    When Use Overschoot is checked, the step motor of a function goes a little bit further than the stored position and returns than to the stored position. This gives in most cases a bitter result that moving directly to the stored position.
