In Reply to: PAL vs. NTSC projection and displays posted by JS on February 20, 2001 at 19:04:53:
HiWe have a Barco set up but, as with any front projector, a lot of care is needed to optimise the picture. See my post further down "Tale of Projector Frustration" at http://www.VideoAsylum.com/ht/messages/5303.html
Feel free to email me if you want further detail.
PS - you will be impressed by the quality of PAL.

Great info, John!Is a different setup needed for NTSC and PAL (i.e. would the technician also have to know about NTSC signals and peripherals)?
Thanks, Jan
I can only answer with reference to Barco.Our set up has 6 inputs. Each has its own set of parameters.
Two of our inputs are from sources which can read PAL and NTSC software - a laserdisc player and a DVD player. The player and the projector automatically detect which system is being supplied. However there can be different parameter settings for PAL than for NTSC. The Barco has a series of memory banks which store the info. Once the Barco is set up the only two settings the user needs to alter are the source and the screen size (4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1 etc).
So, to answer your question, the technician would use NTSC & PAL software (DVD or LD) to help set it all up for each input & video type.
