Solus Contour Grid Adjustments

Postby mongerdesigns » Thu Jul 21, 2016 12:02 am

We are currently working on a video that shows what each control does and how to adjust the grid distortion properly.

In the meantime, I would like to share my settings. Your lenses might be slightly different (they all have tiny variations), so feel free to make small adjustments.

1. The first thing you should do is to make sure your projector legs are closed all the way.
2. Project the grid and click the default button.
3. Make sure the side borders of your grid are parallel to each other. Easy way to do this is to measure the distance at the top and the bottom.
If they are off, use the Keystone button on the projector remote to correct this trapezoidal distortion.
4. Put in the suggested values below, based on which projector you have.

Infocus HD8606
Center X/Y: 0.50 0.58
Distortion Params: 0.98 0.01 0.01 0.01


Optoma HD37
Center X/Y: 0.48 0.68
Distortion Params: 0.97 0.05 -0.02 0.01

5. Measure the grid and make sure it's 48mm x 27mm (or if you're setting up for 42xy, that it's 80mm x 45mm)
6. Focus the lines.

In order to get my grid projecting central to the quartz, I had to extend the front foot of the projector, to raise the front end. Will this cause me any problems? Thanks.

While I love my Solus and appreciate the knowledge in this forum, I have to say that the answers to basic questions like this as they apply to ALL recommended hardware should be incorporated into a single document/wiki or whatever.

Specifically I have the Vivitek HD1188 - so what settings do I need to use?

At 25XY the projection is closer to the front of the quartz, this is by design. The feet should screwed all the way in as per the manual.

If your counter is super flat and super level then the feet screwed all the way in works. My counter top is not,(wood) so I had to adjust the feet to get the gird in the center.

For 25XY the grid should be closer to the front of the quartz.
