Lightcrafter 4500: There are some problems in the DLP LightCrafter 4500 Control Software

Tool/software: Lightcrafter 4500

Hi,

when i use the LightCrafter 4500 Graphical User Interface control software, and the softeware is 3.0.1 version. I want to set the operating mode in "Pattern Sequence"mode, when I set the BIT PLANE SELECTION, and add the pattern to sequence,I clicked the "G0,G1,G2..." and the add pattern to sequence, but I can't clicked "B5,B6,B7'' on the GUI,and I can't find them.Just like the photo below where I marked in red pen.I tried other version of the GUI and there are also the same problems. Maybe there are some problems in the software compilation and need to recompile but I didn't configure the QT Library and I don't know how to rebuild it .So could you sent me another SDK which will be rebuilt? Thank you very much!

  • Hi Peng,

    Thanks for your question and welcome to the DLP forums. I don't understand what your issue is - are you trying to recompile the GUI for some reason? Have you made modifications to it?

    I would recommend that you just use the GUI binary if you don't need to change anything and you just want to control the Lightcrafter.

    Otherwise, if you could provide more clarity on the problem you are seeing, that would be appreciated.

  • Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your reply! I don't think you have understood my question.Just like the photo I sent to you,I can't find the buttons "B5,B6,B7"which are marked by the red pen,because just the three buttons are not displayed propely on the GUI but other buttons between " G0'' and "B4" are showed properly.I didn't make any modifications to it,and I just use the GUI which I downloaded from the TI's Official website and installed the software.
    Best wishes!

  • Hi Paul,

    I had same problem with Peng, that is I wanted to project 24 patterns (1bit), but the GUI just allows to add up to 21 pattern images (up to B4 are clickable), other images B5, B6, B7 cannot be added because they were hidden and cannot click to select.

    By the way, can you tell what is the maximum number of 1 bit pattern can be added? I tried and maximum the projector could do was 41 patterns. (I read somewhere the maximum pattern can be is 64, if I am not wrong????)

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Bui,
    It may be issue with the Windows and display resolution, try on other Windows machine with good resolution, click GUI for full window mode and see you are able to select all the 24 bits R0-R7, G0-G7 and B0-B7.
    Maximum 1 bit pattern - it comes from the LUT size limit,
    Pattern Sequence - this can go upto 256
    Pattern Sequence [Variable Exposure] - this can go upto 1824
