Safety precaution

22 CCuubbee iinnssttaallllaattiioonn 22..11 SSaaffeettyy pprreeccaauuttiioonn

This product requires special installation to prevent falling or toppling. This should be done by installation specialists. Be sure to read this manual and the user’s manual for your safety before starting assembly or installation. Be sure to use supplied accessories for assembly or installation. Attach all the screws and fixtures specified in this manual securely. Reinforce the wall surface and floor so that it can support the total weights of the products permanently and resist earthquakes, possible vibrations, and external forces. Ensure that the safety factor is more than 10 (or ensure that the total bolts can bear ten times the weight of products and the brackets). Inspect the mounting fixings more than once in a year as needed. Do not use the product near a heater or in a humid, dusty or smoky location. Do not install the product with its intakes, exhaust slots and ventilation holes blocked. The unit may overheat and cause a fire or breakdown.

Be careful not to pinch your fingers while sliding the screen holding arms (Front ).

Be sure that a lighting or sunlight does not leak into the screens. Be sure to mount/demount the screen by 2 or more people. These works may be perilous particularly on a height or a narrow scaffold. Handling instructions for 80” screen: Because 80” screens are large and heavy, the screens should be held carefully. • To prevent the screen

from damage or breakage, carry the screen by two or more people.

• Hold the short sides

of the screen frame or the corners when picking up the screen. Holding the center of the long sides of the frame (between labels) may damage the screen edge due to its heavy weight.

• Do not lay the screen with face up on the floor or

table. The screen frames may not support the heavy and large screen surface.

Pressing-and-holding [MENU2] button in the remote control shows SYSTEM SETTING menu. Or select SYSTEM SETTING in TOP menu. Normally, check and adjust these basic setting items in the right chart. The cubes can be customized with custom setting items (page 35) as necessary.

3.2.1 Basic adjustment items

Cube ID assignment SYSTEM SETTING > INSTALLATION > UNIT ID A unique ID can be assigned on each cube. The ID setting enables communications between cubes to control each one individually. The initial setting is 01, and the adjustable range is 01 to 98. 1 Make sure that the cubes to be set the ID numbers

have been cascaded with the control cables (page 19).

2 Select AUTO ID > START? > YES on the MASTER cube. 3 Starting from the MASTER cube, ID numbers are

automatically assigned in the cascaded order. The assigned numbers will be effective immediately.

• ID numbers can also be set manually. Assign a number in UNIT ID > UNIT ID NUMBER menu. The number will be available after system memory saving.

IP address assignment SYSTEM SETTING > INSTALLATION > TCP/IP A unique IP address can be assigned on each cube for controlling through the network. The initial settings are as follows. IP ADDRESS: 192.168.100.32 SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0 DEFAULT GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0

1 Make sure that the cubes to be given IP addresses already have their ID numbers.

2 Set an initial address in IP ADDRESS menu for automatic assignment. Set the same address on all cubes to be assigned.

3 Select IP ADDRESS AUTO SETTING > SET OK? > YES on these cubes.

4 IP addresses are automatically assigned in the order of the ID numbers. In the case of 192.168.100.32 as its initial address, the last number of the address rises 32, 33, 34, 35… according to the ID number increasing from 1 to 2, 3, 4…. The assigned addresses will be effective when the network connection will be re-established such cases as cube rebooting and network cable plug out and in after system memory saving.

5 Set subnet mask and default gateway by manual. Assigning 0.0.0.0 in DEFAULT GATEWAY menu invalids the default gateway.

• The IP address can be set by manual. Assign an IP address in TCP/IP > IP ADDRESS menu. The timing when the setting will be available is the same as the automatic assignment.

• [NORMAL] button restores the initial value while the value has been selected and is adjustable with [ENTER] button.

Color balance adjustment

33..44 CCoolloorr bbaallaannccee aaddjjuussttmmeenntt The luminance and color can be adjusted to uniform across cubes in a display wall by CSC (Color Space Control) system. The adjustments of BLACK LEVEL, WHITE BALANCE and GRADATION can be combined with it as needed. The CSC technology can directly controls the three primary colors to align different color reproduction ranges on each screen. TARGET COLOR and SENSOR can maintain the uniformity over the long term. Save in system memory after adjustment (page 25).

3.4.1 Preparation Before the adjustment, make sure that the following items stay in their initial settings. Menu Item Default

3.4.2 BLACK LEVEL adjustment SYSTEM SETTING > INSTALLATION > BLACK LEVEL This adjustment is normally unnecessary. It can align a difference of luminance and tint in black between each screen. • Be careful not to deteriorate the contrast. It only makes the black luminance level higher. 1 Display the adjustment white in the internal test patterns (page 7, 60) and press [R], [G] and [B] buttons to change

it black. 2 Adjust R-, G- or B-LEVEL in black to be uniformed.

3.4.3 CSC adjustmentSYSTEM SETTING > MAINTENANCE > CSC The CSC can be adjusted automatically and manually. The automatic adjustment applies the optimum CSC values to cubes calculated from the color data retained in the cubes. If necessary, the setting can be fine tuned manually. A cube has 2 memory tables, CSC1 or CSC2. Adjusted values can be saved in either one.

Automatic CSC adjustment 1 Select 1 or 2 in TABLE SELECTION menu on all cubes

to be adjusted. Adjusted values will be applied to the selected memory table.

2 Selecting AUTO TUNING > START? > YES on the MASTER cube starts the automatic adjustment. The optimum CSC values are calculated to be applied to the selected memory table.

The brightness/color data in each cube were measured in the factory. The automatic adjustment may not match precisely in the following cases, so manual adjustment may be needed: • After long lamp use or lamp replacement • With different types of screens from Mitsubishi

specified • With the lamp B in Changer . The color data was

measured with the lamp A.

Manual CSC adjustment Colors can be adjusted manually by eye. 1 Display the adjustment white in the internal test

patterns (page 7, 60). 2 Select 1 or 2 in TABLE SELECTION menu. Adjusted

values will be applied to the selected memory table. • [MENU1] button switches the adjustment menu to

simple displaying (page 8). 3 Display a single color with [R], [G] and [B] buttons. • Regardless of ID setting, the R / G / B button mutes

(switches off ) the red / green / blue color for the cubes. When muted / un-muted cubes are mixed in a display wall, pressing R / G / B may just alternate the effect. To un-mute all of the cubes, press and hold the R / G / B button.

4 Adjustment for three primary colors: 4-1 Display the single red color on entire display wall and align the luminance level on all screens with the darkest one by R–R. Then align the tint on the single red by R–G and R–B. 4-2 Display the single green color to align it in the same way by G–G, G–R and G–B. 4-3 Display the single blue color to align it in the same way by B–B, B–R and B–G.

5 Adjustment for mid-colors and white:

5-1 Display the yellow color (red + green) and align it by R-GAIN and G-GAIN. • R-GAIN, G-GAIN and B-GAIN don’t have value

indications. They control the related CSC values with the same ratio to change the luminance with maintaining their tints.

5-2 Display the cyan color (green + blue) and align it by G-GAIN and B-GAIN. 5-3 Display the magenta color (blue + red) and align it by B-GAIN and R-GAIN. 5-4 Display the white color (red + green + blue) and align it by R-GAIN, G-GAIN and B-GAIN.

6 Repeat the step 4 and 5 until the luminance and tint

of all the colors get uniformed. • Adjust the values so that the sums of the following

items don’t exceed 1023 respectively.

• However, in case of over the range, gain optimizing function in SENSOR RUN (page 34) controls the luminance automatically to fit into the range while still ensuring that the tint (the R G B ratios) is maintained.

• Wallaby also can adjust the colors as well as with the remote control. Select a target panel and adjust the color values. “Test color” changes the color to be displayed on cubes. When “Control all cubes” is checked on, the colors change all together on all cubes regardless of panel selection.

3.4.6 TARGET COLORSYSTEM SETTING > MAINTENANCE > TARGET COLOR Set this after finishing the color balance adjustment in a display wall. TARGET COLOR keeps the same color balance even after the replacement of lamps or color wheels. 1 Select SET TARGET COLOR > START? > YES. It registers

the adjusted CSC values and the color / brightness data loaded from the working lamp and the color wheel.

2 It indicates the current cube operating hours on screen when the registration is finished.

3 When a lamp or color wheel is replaced, the cube reads out the new color / brightness data and automatically corrects the CSC values for color balancing with referring to the previous values registered at the TARGET COLOR setting.

• Use brand-new lamps to set the TARGET COLOR such time as after factory shipment or after lamp replacement. TARGET COLOR setting with an aged lamp may correct the brightness incorrectly at next lamp replacement. This is caused by much brightness difference between lamp memory data measured in the factory and current values at TARGET COLOR setting.

• If you mistakenly set the TARGET COLOR with an aged lamp: At next regular maintenance etc., replace all lamps with new ones and re-adjust the color balance from the beginning, then set the TARGET COLOR again.

• AUTO CALIBRATION can be off the TARGET COLOR function. Be careful the color balance is not maintained after the lamp / color wheel replacement.

While the brightness of each lamp varies individually as time passes, SENSOR RUN automatically controls the luminance to uniform in a display wall. 1 Make sure BOOST (page 38) is set OFF 2 Display an image other than the full-bit white in

internal test patterns. 3 Select SET INITIAL SENSOR DATA > SET OK? > YES in

all cubes in the display wall. It measures the current lamp brightness to be saved as the initial value. • It doesn’t measure until 5 minutes after cube

turning-on in order to wait for the stability of lamp brightness.

4 Select SENSOR FEEDBACK > RUN.

Action during SENSOR FEEDBACK RUN By communication between cubes, lamp brightness in each cube which is measured priodically is automatically compared to be corrected for uniformity. • CSC, GRADATION and WHITE BALANCE are under

automatic control and cannot be adjusted manually. • Even if the CSC has been adjusted over the range or

too low, gain optimizing function in SENSOR RUN finds the maximum luminance possible so that it always optimizes the brightness in the range.

• A cube which reaches a limit will be separated from the brightness control group to avoid the situation that the cube makes the entire display wall too dark. The initial setting of the limit is 45% of the initial brightness.

• The limit can be changed in THRESHOLD FOR

FEEDBACK menu as needed. Lower setting keeps the brightness uniformity for a long time while the entire display wall will be dark. You need to be careful when you set it higher which loses the uniformity in early stage. The maximum range is 50% of the initial brightness.

• The initial and current values of the lamp brightness are shown in advanced status information on screen (page 8) and Sensor > Information in Wallaby.

• When a lamp is replaced, the TARGET COLOR function automatically corrects the color balancing, following which the SENSOR FEEDBACK function measures a new initial brightness in about 5 minutes to keep the brightness uniformity ever after.

• The cubes memorize the TARGET COLOR values / initial brightness data on each lamp or color wheel. When a cube gets a lamp which was in the cube previously, it uses existing brightness data saved in the cube and doesn’t read any new data.

Re-adjustment after SENSOR FEEDBACK RUN If you re-adjust the color balance after the SENSOR FEEDBACK function has been operated for a certain time, which color was adjusted uniformly, it can be re-adjusted as follows. To tweak only one or a few cubes in a display wall 1 Set SENSOR FEEDBACK > STOP on all cubes in the

display wall. The automatic control stops and it holds the current color balance.

2 Re-adjust the color balance. 3 Restore SENSOR FEEDBACK setting to RUN.

* TARGET COLOR is not needed to re-set. TARGET COLOR setting with an aged lamp may correct the brightness incorrectly at next lamp replacement.

To re-adjust all or most cubes in a display wall 1 Set SENSOR FEEDBACK > OFF on all cubes. The CSC

values go back to the original adjustment. 2 Re-adjust the color balance. 3 Select SET INITIAL SENSOR DATA > SET OK? > YES in

all cubes to save new initial values. 4 Set SENSOR FEEDBACK RUN.

* TARGET COLOR is not needed to re-set except when all lamps are new.

4.1.3 Auto-lamp changing function (Changer)Changer is equipped with the auto-lamp changing function that can detect a lamp failure or a brightness deterioration and swap it for a spare lamp automatically.

Lamp status The lamp status is designated as following types.

NEW New or non-deteriorated lamp USED Dark lamp below the threshold JUNK 1/2/3 Blowout / ignition failure / faded away

Action during brightness deterioration Brightness deterioration automatically swaps the lamp for a spare one. 1 When the brightness reaches below the threshold,

the lamp status will be changed to “USED”. 2 The pre-announcement of auto-lamp changing is

displayed on screen and the lamp swap starts 5 minutes later, assuming that the spare lamp status is “NEW”.

3 When the spare lamp status is “USED” or “JUNK”, the current lamp keeps lighting without auto-lamp changing.

• The threshold to start lamp changing can be changed in SYSTEM SETTING > MAINTENANCE > LAMP CHANGER >CHANGE MODE menu (page 38).

Action in lamp blowout (or explosion) Lamp failure detection automatically swaps the lamp for a spare one. 1 When a lamp fails, the lamp status will be “JUNK”. 2 The auto-lamp changing starts when the spare lamp

status is “NEW” or “USED”. 3 When the spare lamp status is “JUNK”, the cube tries

to ignite the current lamp once without auto-lamp changing. If it succeeds to ignite, it continues to light. Even if the status is “JUNK”, the auto-lamp changing starts in the case that the power has been recycled during this status. If it succeeds to ignite, it continues to light.

4 Otherwise, the status indicator shows “BLOWOUT (or LAMP ERROR)”.

Lamp position auto-calibration Five minutes after the lamp swap, the light path is automatically calibrated to the best position to maximize the brightness. The calibration result is maintained until next lamp swap.

• It can be calibrated at any time in SYSTEM SETTING > MAINTENANCE > LAMP CHANGER > CALIBRATION menu (page 38).

• Consecutive pressing [INPUT A] + [ESC] + [2-digit cube ID number] buttons with the remote control in the advanced mode also calibrate the light path. This function is available in Single as well.

Manual lamp swap The lamp can be swapped at any time in the following ways.

Consecutive pressing [INPUT B] + [ESC] + [2-digit cube ID number] buttons in the remote control swaps the lamp in the specified cube. Specifying [00] as a cube ID swaps all lamps regardless of cube ID setting. Or pressing-and-holding the standby switch on the control panel while “LAMP CHANGE MODE” is on the status indicator which is displayed by pressing the standby switch several times. In Wallaby, click System > Maintenance > Lamp Changer > Execute Lamp Change button.

• Performing the manual swap at standby state automatically turns on the power to swaps the lamps, and then the cube goes back to the standby state.

• The power consumption briefly rises at manual lamp swap or at lamp swap due to brightness deterioration. Be careful when all lamps in a display wall are swapped all at once.

• You can set not to raise the power consumption at lamp swap. Select System > Maintenance > Lamp Changer > Hot Lamp Change > Disable. It makes the interval longer to recover an image.

Lamp change notice When the lamp is automatically swapped, the mark appears on the right top of screen to signify the spare lamp should be replaced. It blinks once in 5 seconds. Replacing the spare lamp with a “NEW” status lamp erases the indication. • The mark can be hidden temporarily. Press [DISPLAY]

button to display the status information once, followed by [ESC] button to hide the mark as well as the information. [DISPLAY] button restores the indication. This hidden setting is available until the main power is switched off.

• The mark can be set not to displayed in SYSTEM SETTING > MISC. 1 > SCREEN INDICATION > LAMP WARNING menu (page 35).

• The mark also can be erased by lamp timer resetting of the spare lamp (page 54). Be careful it forcibly changes the lamp status to NEW.


Error indication

Pre-announcement of auto-lamp changing The following message appears when brightness deterioration is detected. After 10 seconds the blue portion and the background disappears, leaving the text message. The lamp change starts about 5 minutes later.

• The pre-announcement can be set no to display in

SYSTEM SETTING > MISC. 1 > SCREEN INDICATION > LAMP WARNING menu (page 35).

44..22 EErrrroorr iinnddiiccaattiioonn The cubes indicates current status to users with both “on-screen LED” which lights in blue on the screen and the status indicator on the control panel.
