DLP9000: Lightcrafter cannot upload image patterns

Part Number: DLP9000

For some reason, when I am trying to upload images to the Lightcrafter GUI in video mode, it instead is asking for a .txt Settings file. Also, all the pattern settings are greyed out. Can’t for the life of me figure out why. Any ideas why that’s the case?

Hi Gabriel,

You cannot upload pattern images in Video mode.
Video mode is for displaying video data from HDMI/DP port.

"Pattern on the fly" mode should be used for uploading patterns and displaying them.

Please refer to section "3.3.1 Operating Mode" in (EVM) User's Guide https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/dlpu028 for more details.

Following training videos will be of help.
