At no time should anyone other than the keepers of the display do anything with the display without the authorization of one of the keepers. |

Right-click on the wider of the two monitor icons; its resolution should be 1920x1080. Click on "Primary". Click "Apply". |

- 2. Click Start Show to run the sequence of images and videos, or select an item first to run the sequence starting at that point. Stills are held for 5 seconds. Press N to move to the next item, or B to return to the previous item. Click Backlight (in the lower right corner) to toggle showing just the LED backlight. Move the mouse out of the control panel area (at the bottom) to make it go away, and move the mouse against the bottom edge to bring it back.
- 3. Press ESC to quit playback and return to the HDR Viewer Screen. Click Exit in the top right corner to exit the program.

- 1. Close all programs and log out.

The display has shown a risk of overheating that could lead to automatic shutdown. According to David Tan, who was at Dolby until the end of 2007, this might be due to partial separation of the heat sink, which is apparently not uncommon in these prototype DR-37P units. These SOPs are designed to mitigate that risk. |

<
< | Ensure that there is enough FC-77 (Fluorinert) liquid coolant in the reservoir of the display. Allan thinks enough means more than half full. You want enough so that (1) the hose connected to the bottom of the reservoir (which sucks coolant from the reservoir) is sucking coolant and not air, and so that (2) you can visibly see coolant circulating through the hoses when the coolant pump is running. |

You want enough so that (1) the hose connected to the bottom of the reservoir (which sucks coolant from the reservoir) is sucking coolant and not air, and so that (2) you can visibly see coolant circulating through the hoses when the coolant pump is running. More coolant can be added through the tube with the red plug near the top of the display. If you are out of coolant, you can get more at Dolby. |

When powering on the display, do not wait long before logging in and running "DR-37P GUI V48.5.exe" (or some other version if you can't find this one). This control program allows you to monitor the temperatures in the display as well as control it. When you run it it should ask if you want to connect to display 1106 and you click OK. If it can't find the display, you will need to log out and back in. |

- 3. Run DR-37P GUI V48.5.exe.
- 4. Click on 8-Bit+ Mode.
|
|
<
< | The default mode for the display upon power-on is a full-brightness mode, which can cause significant heat. For most uses, check the 8-Bit+ Mode box in the HDR Control Panel. This enters a lower-brightness mode which substantially reduces the risk of overheating. This mode is also suitable for full-brightness use of the display, because HDR Viewer expects this mode for displaying full-brightness imagery. |
