Click the [Next] button to proceed to the Marriage Checklist window.
d. Arm the marriage. In the Arming window, click the Arm Marriage button (refer to Figure 49). A 30 second count-down timer begins. The LED in the Marriage button on the PI Board will flash green during this count-down. You MUST press the Marriage button on the PI Board within this 30 second window in order for the marriage to take effect. When the Marriage button is pressed, the LED button will change to a solid green to indicate a successful marriage. Figure 49 Arm Marriage and Marriage countdown. e.
2. Clear the Service Door/Marriage Tamper on the server. All 3D IMB channels on the Christie Series 2 projector should use the ‘IMB’ input and ‘4:4:4 (RGB)’ input data format (see Figure 50). Figure 50 Projector input settings for Christie projectors. 8.4.
The settings for 3D output control (‘3D Sync Polarity’, ‘Dark Time’, ‘Output Delay’ and ‘Phase Delay’) should be customized according to the type of 3D system used (RealD, XpanD or Dolby3D). If a particular model of the projector is capable of HFR 3D, It is required to setup different 3D setting for different frame rates. This will ensure all channels have a corresponding 3D macro for each refresh rate. For example, 6:2 for 24fpeps, 4:2 for 48fpeps, and 2:2 for 60fpeps. 8.5.
9. TIME ZONE SETUP The SX-3000 may or may not arrive with the local time zone set. The following steps show how to change the time zone on the server. 1.
