2 Installation & Setup This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector for delivery of superior image quality. NOTE: The illustrations provided are to enhance the understanding of the written material. They are graphical representations only and may not represent your exact projector model. • 2.1 Assembly and Connection of Components • 2.2 Installing and Connecting Sources • 2.3 Connecting for Communications • 2.4 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling • 2.5 Initial Power Up • 2.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.1 Assembly and Connection of Components These instructions describe how to: • mount the projection head onto the pedestal • position the projector relative to the port window and screen • connect pedestal-to-head cabling and cooling hoses • customize projector for CP2000-SB lamps • connect exhaust ducting and fill liquid cooling system • ns and lamp • connect to power 1) DO NOT misplace High Security keys, which are packed with the projector.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.1.1 Projection Head and Pedestal STEP 1 - Secure Projection Head to Pedestal a. Roll the pedestal as close as possible to its permanent location, with its front toe facing the port window wall. b. Inside the pedestal, at the rear of the top frame, turn the knob to extend the safety prop above the pedestal frame. This stop will then elevate the rear of the projection head until fingers are safely out of the way. See Figure 2-1 Step 1.
Section 2: Installation & Setup Figure 2-2 Centering < > (Aerial Views) Note that when a particularly short throw distance combines with a very wide screen, you may have to forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases, some lens offset can reduce the keystone distortion. Later, when your projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement as described in Section 2.7 Basic Image Alignment.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 5 - Connect Pre-Installed Cabling (Pedestal-to-Head) Numerous cables are pre-installed within the pedestal and must be routed up to the underside of the projection head, where they connect to one of three panels (or two IEC power sockets). Connect pedestal-to-head cabling as follows: NOTE: For all cable connections, keep cable ties that have been trimmed at manufacture, but remove temporary ties that are untrimmed and have tails. a.
Section 2: Installation & Setup f. POWER CABLES TO HEAD: From behind the main AC breaker panel (within the pedestal), connect both identical power cables 34001992 to the IEC receptacles located near Panel B (100-230 VAC) and Panel C (200-230 VAC). Connect either cable to either receptacle (these cables are interchangeable) and secure with metal strainrelief clip provided (Figure 2-7).
Section 2: Installation & Setup h. CONNECT LAMP LEADS: 1. Ensure the igniter door is open. From the ballast in the pedestal, route the main black and white lamp leads through the nearby hole in the underside of the projection head. See Figure 2-9. 2. Route the NEGATIVE (-) BLACK lamp lead through the hole in the lamp cooling compartment wall. Warning! 1) Ensure the PCB is directed toward the back and remains at least ¾” from the highvoltage terminal (with braid connection).
Section 2: Installation & Setup 6. Route the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK lamp lead through the hole in the cooling compartment floor (Figure 2-11). The igniter wires from terminal 5 and the PCB are also routed here. Figure 2-11 Feed Black Lead into Compartment 7. A universal connector nut should be pre-installed on the cathode-end lamp post. Regardless of model or lamp size, this nut is 1.658” in overall length. See right. NOTE: The universal nut shown accommodates all models. Do not install a shorter nut.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 6 - Connect Two Cooling Host Ends (Pedestal-to-Head) During operation, a closed loop of flexible tubing circulates cooling liquid stored in the pedestal to critical electronics components located in the front compartment of the projection head. Looking into the pedestal, the liquid will circulate counterclockwise. NOTE: The TOP graphic in Figure 2-14 is for pedestals manufactured before Fall 2006.
Section 2: Installation & Setup a. To create this loop, connect the OUT/warm and IN/cool hoses as described below. NOTE: Hose connections may not be labeled. Be sure to depress each hose connector tab before inserting the hose end, then release to seal (Figure 2-15). This prevents damage caused by forcing the gasket end into a closed connector. Listen for a click. Figure 2-15 Connecting the Hoses b. The long loose hose connected to the reservoir is the OUT/warm hose from the projection head.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.1.2 Exhaust Ducting Warm exhaust air from the CP2000-SB must vent to outside of the building. Connect pre-installed outside-venting ductwork via 8” inside diameter fireproof ducting material attached to the projector’s top exit port. Confirm that 1) there are no obstructions or kinks within the ducting, 2) all air intake areas of the CP2000SB are clear and exposed, and 3) the vane switch at the exit duct is moving freely.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.1.3 Lens(es) Primary Zoom Lens 1. Fully insert the lens assembly straight into the lens mount opening all the way back without turning. With the lens fully back, it will seat properly within the lens mount. NOTE: High Contrast lenses (only) have a flat on the rear flange. Rotate the lens so that the flange clears two screws in the mount. Also ensure the UP label is at the top to ensure proper aperture orientation. 2. Lock the lens assembly in place with lens clamp DOWN.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.1.5 Connecting to Power Connecting the projector to your AC supply can vary according to the country in which the projector is installed. The five scenarios are explained below. For any installation, always follow the electrical code for your country. Warning! 1) Certified electrician required. Follow the Terminal Block 1 (TB1) Connections diagram located on the inside of the pedestal.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 180-235 VAC (N. America, Japan, most of Central/South America, etc.): If 3-phase and single-phase feeds (6-wire): • Make sure ground wire is connected directly to the frame ground stud on the pedestal floor. Attach no other wires here. • Connect L and N @ 200-230 VAC (single-phase) • Connect 1, 2, and 3 @ 180-235 VAC (3-phase) If 3-phase with neutral fed from 3-phase (5-wire): • Make sure ground wire is connected directly to the frame ground stud on the pedestal floor.
Section 2: Installation & Setup Special Adjustments for Some AC Supplies AC levels can vary depending on region. Check the following when installing. NOTES: 1) Requires voltmeter for up to 400 VAC. 2) Consult the Interconnect Drawing in pedestal. JUMPER FROM IGNITER TERMINAL 2: As set from the factory, the igniter jumper located on terminal 2 connects to T2. This configuration is used when 207-265 VAC are present (as it is for most countries).
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.2 Installing and Connecting Sources Depending on site requirements, cinema servers such as digital media storage devices or non-cinema sources such as PCs either reside outside of the projector, or are rack-mounted directly in the rear of the CP. They must not interfere with CP operation. Regardless of their mounting location, sources must connect to one of four ports on the Communication and Source Connection Panel located on the underside of the projection head.
Section 2: Installation & Setup IF INTERNAL Sources/servers are often rack-mounted in the projector rear with cabling routed directly to the underside of the projection head. See Figure 2-25 and Figure 2-26. Install as follows: 1. Remove the pair of rack protector posts from the rear of the pedestal. 2. Remove the required horizontal rack covers (security plates). 3. Rack-mount the desired equipment within the pedestal. 4. Re-install the pair of rack protector posts. Keep extra covers.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.2.1 Support for Internal Servers/Source A series of holes around the top perimeter of the pedestal frame accommodates strapping for support of internal equipment. To maximize air circulation and cooling within the pedestal, install your longest devices in the highest rack-mount slot available where they will not significantly block airflow. 2.2.
Section 2: Installation & Setup TPC Connect the TPC cable to the Ethernet hub within the pedestal (this is usually pre-connected from factory). PC/Laptop, Server or Network To communicate with the CP2000-SB from a computer, server or an existing network, connect the equipment to the Ethernet hub within the pedestal. If Ethernet is not available at your site, connect a standard serial cable to the RS-232 A port instead.
Section 2: Installation & Setup In rare cases where additional tilt is needed, you can utilize the rear extender legs as described below. Important! For best optical performance, avoid tilting the projector excessively. Use vertical offset of the lens instead. 3. Remove the rear bottom panel (2 top screws, 2 bottom tabs) from the CP pedestal (Figure 2-30). Figure 2-30 Open Rear of Pedestal 4. Use a low-profile scissor jack to elevate the rear of the projector. 5.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.5 Initial Power Up STEP 1 - Turn on Breakers With all components installed and connected, power-up the projector as described in Steps 1 and 2 in Section 3.2 Power-up Procedure. Do not ignite the lamp yet. Important! Do not ignite the lamp until you have defined the lamp type in Step 6 below. STEP 2 - Fill Reservoir a Second Time Upon initial power up, the first supply of coolant you added will drain into the hoses and fill them leaving the reservoir practically empty.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 6 - Define the Lamp Type At the TPC, go to the Advanced: Lamp menu (password required). Enter the size of the lamp currently installed in the projector (default is 2.0 kW). STEP 7 - Ignite the Lamp At the main menu of the TPC, press the LAMP button 2.6 . The lamp should ignite.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.7 Basic Image Alignment NOTE: Assumes projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final location. This procedure ensures that the image reflected from the DMDs is parallel to and well-centered with both the lens and screen. This initial optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing images on the screen, and must be completed before final boresight adjustments.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.8 Offset and Boresight Alignment Motorized Vertical Offset Vertical Offset Knob To ensure proper offset for your site and consistently good focus in all areas of the screen, a primary lens must be installed Anchor Bolt and its lens mount precisely adjusted in relation to internal Horizontal Boresight optics as described below. If desired, an auxiliary lens can then Bolt be added to widen images for scope cinema displays.
Section 2: Installation & Setup The maximum vertical offset is shown in Figure 2-38 (bottom illustration). NOTES: 1) Horizontal offset is just a few dozen pixels, resulting in a maximum of 52% of the image displayed on one side or the other of the lens. 2) Maximum offsets are slightly less when offsetting in both directions (H and V) at once. Figure 2-38 Vertical Offset Range 2.8.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 3. Adjust the Focus to retract the lens using the down arrow on the Main: Lens menu. See Figure 2-40. Watch the image at the left edge of the screen until it comes into focus. If the image appears well-focused on the left edge but not on the right, determine if the right side focuses in front of or behind the screen. If the entire screen come into focus, skip to step 7. Focus Left Edge Center Figure 2-40 Adjust Focus 4. Continue retracting the lens. a.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.8.3 Adjust Top/Bottom Boresight When the horizontal boresight is complete, focus the image at the top edge of the screen. 1. Loosen the Vertical Hold Screw. See Figure 2-42. 2. Extend the lens focus completely. 3. Adjust the Focus to retract the lens using the down arrow on the Main: Lens menu. Watch the image at the top edge of the screen until it comes into focus. If the image appears well-focused on the top edge but not on the bottom, adjust the Vertical Boresight.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.8.5 Add Auxiliary Lens If present, swing the auxiliary lens in position in front of the primary lens. It should magnify in the horizontal direction only, stretching the image straight across the screen—this requires that its aperture (visible within the lens) be vertically aligned with the screen. If the image appears skewed, loosen the locking ring on the auxiliary lens and rotate the lens as necessary until the wide image is horizontal.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.9 Fold Mirror and Convergence Adjustments In rare instances, shipping and handling may affect the precise factory alignments of one or more optical components—as a final step of installation, the installer may have to adjust the fold mirror and/or convergence of the DMDs as described here.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.9.1 Calibrating the System Using DCP Librarian Setup Software NOTE: DCP Librarian described here is licensed software intended for Christie installers only. Many of its functions are now available at the TPC.

Section 3: Operation 3.1 Projector Basics 3.1.1 Components and Features The main CP2000-SB components appear in Figure 3-1 and are briefly described below in alphabetical order. Figure 3-1 Basic Projector and Related Components 3-2 CP2000-SB User Manual 020-100162-04 Rev.
Section 3: Operation Air Filter Intake air flows through the filter before circulating in the front compartment to cool the main electronics. Replace the air filter whenever the lamp is replaced—or sooner in dusty/dirty environments. Check condition monthly. Refer to Section 6.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter for complete instructions. Breaker Panel Each circuit breaker on the pedestal serves two purposes: 1) it is a power switch for one or more components, and 2) it protects against over-current conditions.
Section 3: Operation Coolant Level Gauge This gauge indicates the current level of coolant present for circulating to the main electronics in the front portion of the projection head. Keep the liquid level close to—but not above—the top notch. Refill if the level drops near to the bottom notch. Refer to Section 6.2.3 Liquid Cooler. Exhaust Duct Connect the projector’s 8” top exhaust hole to an outside-vented duct, with at least 10” of the last portion of the duct rigid at the projector.
Section 3: Operation Power Cabling NOTE: Not included with projector. In most cinema installations, the AC power cord emerging from the pedestal toe is hard-wired to an appropriately rated breaker connected to the AC supply in your building. Note that all CP models require 3phase power, but can be configured in one of 5 different ways depending on the AC available at your site. Sixwire sites include single-phase AC also.
Section 3: Operation Source/Control Cabling The pedestal toe knock-outs provide safe routing for all external cabling that connects to the underside of the projector head during installation. Use a route not currently occupied by the main AC power cable. Touch Panel Controller (TPC) The Touch Panel Controller (TPC) is a portable touch-sensitive screen used to control the projector.
Section 3: Operation 3.3 Power-down Procedure 1. At the TPC, press the lamp button (on Main menu) to turn the lamp OFF. You must hold the button down briefly. 2. Wait at least 10 minutes so that fans continue to cool the lamp. Warning! Be sure to wait for the cooling fans! 3. At the operator's side of the pedestal, set all breakers to OFF. NOTE: Manual shut-down only. Optional automation not yet available from Christie. Figure 3-3 Power-down Procedure CP2000-SB User Manual 020-100162-04 Rev.
Section 3: Operation 3.4 Introduction to the Touch Panel Controller Most users will use the Touch Panel Controller (TPC) as their main interface with the projector. Depending on the installation, this Windows™-based touch-sensitive screen is typically mounted on the rear of the projector or at some other convenient nearby location.

Section 3: Operation USE CINEMA PROCESSING OR NOT? The cinema checkbox on the Custom Page-1 menu determines if the incoming signal is processed using the projector's full cinema path, which enables image scaling and color correction but restricts resolution-and-frequency combinations. If unchecked, most of the projector's Processor Board functionality is by-passed-this disables scaling and color correction, but is compatible with higher resolution-and-frequency combinations.
Section 3: Operation CUSTOM: PAGE-1 MENU OPTIONS * Source Identifies/sets the expected incoming source resolution and aspect ratio such as 1920 x1080 or Mk7 default. Choices are pre-defined using DCP Librarian or the TPC Admin menu. * Target Color Identifies/sets the special color processing called Target Color Gamut Data established for a given presentation. Default=P7V2 Theatre. * Color Space Identifies/sets the method of color decoding for the current source.
Section 3: Operation Custom: 3D Control Menu This menu provides numerous controls for adjusting and synchronizing incoming 3D signals (always dual L/R HD-SDI signals at the SMPTE A and B ports) with each other and with external 3D equipment such as screens, emitters and glasses. The Custom: 3D Control menu options are summarized in Figure 3-11 and Table 3.6.
Section 3: Operation L/R INPUT REFERENCE NOTES: Select the option matching your source type, and how the 3D sync is supplied: • A=LEFT, B=RIGHT: Select if your 3D source provides separate left and right data via 2 cables at the A and B SMPTE ports. This assumes the 3D stereo sync signal is included with the image data inputs rather than supplied separately at the GPIO port.
Section 3: Operation Figure 3-12 Examples of Frame Rate N:M For example, when processing typical dual (L/R) 3D signals of 24Hz, a Frame Rate N:M setting of 4:2 will generate 4 frames of output for every 2 frames of input at a final frame rate of 96 Hz. For any source, keep the final frame rate less than that of the projector (which is 67 Hz for full 2048 x 1080 resolution). Generally, incoming 24Hz signals can be increased by a maximum factor of 5:2.
Section 3: Operation Custom: Lamp Menu This menu provides controls for maintaining consistent light output over time or setting a precise power level for the lamp. As shown in Figure 3-13, the Custom: Lamp menu provides controls for maintaining a specific light output over time (LiteLOC™) or setting a precise power level for the lamp.

Section 3: Operation OFFSET NOTES: Offsetting an image is achieved by defining how much horizontal width and vertical height to discard. Offset coordinates can be particularly useful when zooming in on a portion of the imagethey establish the top left corner location of the zoom area, with Resolution (above) determining the size of the area.
Section 3: Operation Admin: Screen Menu The Screen menu defines 1) what portion of the projector's display panel you wish to use, and 2) what cropping is needed to disguise possible keystoning or other geometric aberrations. Once saved, a screen file can be used with any incoming source as desired-screen data is not included in a PCF, and is independent of Source settings. Consider screen files as convenient compensations for physical limitations in the environment.
Section 3: Operation PRESENTATION NOTES: Presentation points define what region of the projector's available display area responds to incoming data. By default, the projector will use its complete display area, scaling the incoming data as necessary. If, for some reason, you want to limit the display area, enter the desired upper left and lower right presentation coordinates (or adjust with slidebars).
Section 3: Operation LETTER BOX NOTES: Letter Boxing ensures that all image data is displayed and its aspect ratio is maintained. Use letter box for virtually all normal operation. It ensures that all incoming data will be displayed within your defined presentation area, and nothing will be discarded. If desired, any black bars (unused pixels) could then be cropped off using the cropping control.
Section 3: Operation Desired x/y target coordinates for each color. Record x/y coordinates for each uncorrected color. Luminance. Turn test pattern off. Enable/disable tolerance. NOTE: A tolerance discards less light. Save MCGD coordinates to new onSite file or other file accessed in the Custom menu. Define 4 corners (0-1-2-3) of a tolerance box around white. Save TCGD coordinates to a new target file accessed in the Custom menu. Test target color in display without saving.
Section 3: Operation MEASURED (MCGD) NOTES: For each color, record the native uncorrected x/y color coordinates measured at the screen. These values simply represent the currently viewable primary colors, and collectively (when saved) will define the raw color performance reference point for this projector in the current environment. Each radio button activates the corresponding full-field YCbCr test pattern of this native color so that measurements can be taken.
Section 3: Operation WHITE TOLERANCE NOTES: The chosen target for white (White x/y) coordinates under Target (TCGD) may be relaxed, if desired, by establishing a small tolerance box around it. This box represents four coordinates (0-1-2-3) plotted on a 1931CIE Chromaticity graph, and may vary from TCGD to TCGD.
Section 3: Operation Admin: IP Config Menu Use the IP Config menu when you need to define or change the Ethernet settings-i.e., network address-of the projector and/or its TPC or if you want to configure SNMP (remote monitoring). NOTE: Record any new settings on Section 1.4 Who Should Use This Manual of this manual. DLP or TPC Configuration Choose which address to see or change. Implement current settings. Projector name Not applicable for TPC. Enables/disables text entry below. Auto-assign.
Section 3: Operation Table 3.18 Summary of Admin: IP Config Menu Options ADMIN: IP CONFIG MENU OPTIONS DLP vs. TPC vs. SNMP Select which device address you wish to see or set. DLP = projector, TPC - Touch Panel Controller, SNMP = The Internet standard protocol developed to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
Section 3: Operation 5. When a new address is implemented in the projector, another dialogue box will remind you that if your settings moved the projector to a different network (most common), the TPC will no longer be able to control the projector. Ignore any Cancel buttons that may appear in this dialogue box. You must therefore immediately change the TPC Ethernet configuration if you have changed either or both of the following: • Any of the first 3 octets of the IP Address (i.e.
Section 3: Operation Admin: General and Admin: Lamp Menus NOTE: Installer login required. From within the Admin menu, an installer can access three additional submenus not available to any other user. These submenus are primarily for defining critical system parameters such as the projector's IP address, lamp type, and user rights for remote access and data logging.
Section 3: Operation Admin: Lamp Menu Record light measured for both extremes of power. Select to automatically reduce lamp power to its minimum. • Measured at screen • Projector will be able to interpolate future light output in foot lamberts Select to automatically increase lamp power to its maximum. Select to implement new values. Figure 3-36 Admin: Lamp Menu Options Table 3.
Section 3: Operation 3.5.7 TPC About Menu The About menu lists which versions of critical components are installed in the projector. As shown in Figure 3-38, this is a read-only menu for all users, and includes a STOP button for installers/service to exit TPC software entirely and return to Windows™. Exit TPC software and return to Windows™ (available to installer only) List of all software versions in the projector (Read-only) Figure 3-38 About Menu 3.5.
Section 3: Operation 3.5.9 Selecting a Display (Starting a Presentation) NOTES: 1) For manual operation (i.e., non-automated). 2) In order to use the TPC software originally shipped with the projector, the installer typically connects a laptop and uses Christie's DCP Librarian setup software to download all necessary configuration files to the projector for use at the TPC. To change to a new source-i.e., a new presentation or display-do the following: 1.
Section 3: Operation Cinema Vs. Non-Cinema Sources Typically the display setups for digital cinema servers are carefully configured when the projector is installed so that presentations will be automatically optimized and require no further adjustment. A user need only select the relevant display button. Displays of non-cinema or other alternative content, such graphics or video sources connected to DVI ports, are also usually pre-configured for easy selection.
Section 3: Operation 3.6 Remote Control of the Touch Panel Controller Most TPC projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a controller, via simple bi-directional ASCII messaging on an Ethernet communication link. WHAT SETUP IS NEEDED? To control these TPC functions remotely via your own controller, you must open an Ethernet socket between your controller and the valid TPC address. Refer to Section 3.6.6 Setup and Shutdown for complete instructions.
Section 3: Operation DATA: The value for a given projector parameter, such as ON or OFF, appears in ASCII-decimal format directly after the request/reply symbol. Unless you add an optional space after the symbol (i.e., before the data) in a set message, data immediately follows the request/reply symbol without a space.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.4 What is Actually Sent in a Message? Although you will send and read all messages as strings of ASCII characters, the actual message travels as a sequence of bytes. Each character in a unicode message requires 2 bytes, whereas the non-unicode requires only 1 byte.
Section 3: Operation 3.7 Upgrading SSM Firmware These instructions explain how to upgrade SSM firmware without upgrading the rest of the software. The correct SSM firmware must be downloaded to the SSM in order for the DMD temperature warning and shutdown limits to be properly set. You will use an FTP program to transfer the new version file from your PC to the TPC currently connected to your CP2000-SB projector. 3.7.1 Requirements • TPC-642 or TPC-60 or TPC-66 used with any CP2000-SB projector.
Section 3: Operation 2. From the Host List of FTP servers, click the TPC FTP server and then Connect. Or, if using FFFTP for the first time, click New Host to create a new connection to the FTP Server. The Host Setting dialog box should now appear. 3. Complete the Host Setting entries (Figure 3-43). • Profile Name (name desired for TPC) • Host Name/Address (TPC IP default address is 192.168.206.
Section 3: Operation 3.8 Working with the Lamp Simple software controls and adjustments can help to optimize lamp performance and ensure the brightest, most uniform image possible for the life of the lamp. These controls are located in the Main, Advanced: Preferences, and Advanced: Lamp menus on the TPC. NOTE: For individual menu functions, refer to Section 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller (TPC). 3.8.1 Turning the Lamp ON/OFF Lamp ON/OFF Select and hold for 1/2 second.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.3 Adjusting Lamp Power (LiteLOC™ or Manually) There are two different lamp modes for general operation-you can maintain either a specific brightness level (LiteLOC™) or a specific lamp power level. NOTES: 1) Requires Advanced/Admin TPC rights. 2) Keep in mind the formula: Current (Amperes) x Voltage (Volts) = Lamp Power (Watts). 3) Adjust LiteLOC™ before or after adjustment of lamp position.
Section 3: Operation HOW LONG CAN I MAINTAIN BRIGHTNESS? Software can maintain a LiteLOC™ setting until the required power exceeds the maximum rating for the lamp (2.0, 3.0, 4.5, or 6.0 kW) by approximately 10%. The lower your LiteLOC™ setting, the longer it will take to reach this over-drive threshold and the longer you can maintain the desired brightness. For example, a 6000 watt lamp (6.0 kW) can be safely driven at no more than 6600 watts.
Section 3: Operation UNDERSTANDING LAMP POWER VALUES (%) The Lamp Power range of 75-110 represents 75%-110% of the power appropriate for the installed lamp. In other words, you can apply anywhere from 75% of the maximum power intended for the installed lamp up to an over-drive that exceeds the maximum rating by approximately 10%. Both current (amps) and power (watts) thresholds are read.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.4 Adjusting Lamp Position for LampLOC™ Align a newly-installed lamp as soon as possible to ensure optimized lamp performance and peak brightness at the screen for the life of the lamp. NOTES: 1) Before adjusting, a 10-minute warm-up is recommended. 2) You can adjust lamp position either before or after adjustment of Lamp Power or LiteLOC™. 3) Footlambert calibration should be performed with lamp change, i.e. 2K to 3K.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.5 Stand-by Mode Close the douser (shutter) to put the projector in a cooler stand-by mode where lamp power is reduced to 50% of its maximum rating. Upon opening the douser and restoring the image, the lamp power will return to its previous setting. 50% lamp power when closed. 3.8.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.7 When to Replace the Lamp Assuming the Lamp Expiry Message checkbox has been enabled in the Advanced: Preferences menu (recommended), an expiry message will appear on the TPC (as an alarm window) when the lamp has reached its defined Lamp Limit and should be replaced.
Section 3: Operation 3.9 Working with the Lens The CP2000-SB lens mount secures the primary zoom lens to the projection head. It provides 1) setup adjustments for correct boresight, and 2) automatically controlled focus, zoom and offsets for general use. To save the focus, offset and zoom settings to the channel, you must make the adjustments using the motorized lens mount adjustment features in the Main: Lens menu or Custom: Lens menu from the TPC.
Section 3: Operation Offsets From the Main: Lens menu, click the up/down/left/right buttons as necessary to adjust the image and make it square on the screen. For best results, avoid extreme tilts or offsets. Corner vignettes on a white test pattern indicates extreme offset that should be avoided. If you need more vertical offset range, it is possible that the projector’s mechanical TILT should be changed to help compensate for significant differences in screen and lens height.
Section 3: Operation 3.10 Working with 3D A single projector can display 3D images as described below. Such images require a 3D-capable source as well as additional hardware and cabling in order to be displayed and interpreted correctly in a typical stereo 3D viewing environment. 3.10.
Section 3: Operation • Power supply for your Sync Output Device, typically wired with the custom GPIO cable. • Proper 3D configuration defined in the TPC's Custom: 3D Control menu. For best results, use the 3D internal test pattern shown in Figure 3-58. 3.10.3 Supported Hardware Setup Figure 3-56 shows the general hardware configuration currently supported. Use either an IR emitter to control gating in active glasses, or a polarizing cell and Z-screen with passive glasses.
Section 3: Operation 3.10.4 Other Hardware Setups Other expected hardware configurations with a single 3D source input are shown in Figure 3-57. NOTE: For future reference. Single 3D input is not currently supported. Figure 3-57 Single-Input 3D Systems 3-68 CP2000-SB User Manual 020-100162-04 Rev.
Section 3: Operation 3.10.5 3D Instructions NOTES: 1) Assumes a full 2048 x 1080 display, and 3D enabled in the Custom: 3D Control menu. 2) 3D stereo sync or reference signal is part of input signal, matching the vertical sync. Hardware Instructions 1. Connect two HD-SDI signals from a 3D media server to the projector's SMPTE cinema ports A and B. One carries left-eye data, the other right-eye data.
Section 3: Operation 6. DEFINE SYNC OUTPUT: • Set L/R Output Polarity to Inverted. NOTE: If the display appears reversed, i.e. background appears close and foreground appears at a distance, you will need to ensure that the cable connecting server output A is connected to projection input A and the cable connecting server output B is connected to projection input B. • Set Output GPO according to which of the projector's GPIO outputs is currently wired to your emitter or polarizer. 7.
Section 3: Operation 3.11 Working with Servers and Diagnostics NOTE: Password-protected; Installers and service technicians only. A service login provides three additional Status menus-Server, Diag and Interrogator-for testing certain server functions and communications, or for advanced projector diagnostics. 3.11.
Section 3: Operation 3.11.2 TPC Status: Diag Menu The Status: Diag menu provides status information about projector components and the current cinema source, and enables log files for each device to be saved to the TPC's storage card for diagnostics. Info about projector components. Write SMPTE log to TPC’s storage card directory. Write projector log or self test log to TPC’s storage card directory. Clear SMPTE errors. Useful for testing if they recur. Test every projector component.
4 Cinema Operation This section explains how trained operators can use the projector for presenting cinema events such as first-run movies stored on a digital media storage device. Please read through these pages before displaying cinema for the first time. A good understanding of all cinema functions and how to access them will help you to run an event smoothly and easily.
Section 4: Cinema Operation 4.1 Compatible Cinema Sources Ensure a digital media storage device or cinema server is connected to one of the A or B input ports within the CP2000-SB head-see Figure 4-1. These connections are typically made at the time of projector installation. Figure 4-1 Cinema Source Connections (External Source Shown) The identical A or B cinema ports use the SMPTE 292M bit-serial interface standard, and will auto-detect cinema source formats shown in Table 4.1.

Section 4: Cinema Operation 4.2 Image Formats The two standard types of cinema displays-flat and scope-differ in their width-to-height aspect ratio as shown below: Figure 4-2 Standard Cinema Formats Achieving either of these displays from a wide variety of incoming source material depends on proper settings in the projector as well as certain theatre conditions. 4.2.
Section 4: Cinema Operation 4.2.2 Theatre Variables: Masking In order to present either type of feature on a single screen, a theatre typically uses masking to conceal any unused edge(s) of the screen. These movable panels or curtains are most commonly installed along the top edge of the screen, changing the height of the screen but not its width. The screen shown in Figure 4-4 also has a bottom mask.
Section 4: Cinema Operation Table 4.2 Basic Ways to Achieve Flat & Scope Displays 4-6 CP2000-SB User Manual 020-100162-04 Rev.
Section 4: Cinema Operation 4.3 Selecting the Cinema Source NOTE: For details regarding all TPC functions, refer to Section 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller (TPC). 4.3.1 Touch Panel Controller Method As described in Section 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller (TPC), CP2000-SB displays are usually preconfigured so that any user can correctly display a desired feature simply by selecting the corresponding button on either page of the Main menu displayed by the Touch Panel Controller.
Section 4: Cinema Operation 4.3.2 Other Methods Depending on your installation, you may be able to use ASCII commands (via Ethernet communication link) to select a source from a different controller in a remote location. Refer to Section 3.6 Remote Control of the Touch Panel Controller and Appendix B: ASCII Messages. Regardless of how the display file is selected, the feature will appear on screen according to the numerous specific display settings defined for it.
5 Non-Cinema Operation This section explains how to display alternative content originating from a standard definition or high definition non-cinema source such as a PC or other graphics devices. Such a source routes to a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) port in the CP2000-SB projection head, and can bypass cinema processing when necessary. • 5.1 Compatible Non-Cinema Sources • 5.2 Selecting the Source CP2000-SB User Manual 020-100162-04 Rev.
Section 5: Non-Cinema Operation 5.1 Compatible Non-Cinema Sources Ensure your non-cinema DVI source is connected to DVI-1 or DVI-2 within the CP2000-SB head-see Figure 5-1. These connections are typically made at the time of projector installation. Figure 5-1 Non-Cinema DVI Source Connection (shown with external source) Each DVI port accepts and will auto-detect the progressive-scan, digital RGB sources listed in Table 5.1, displaying them in their original incoming format.
Section 5: Non-Cinema Operation NOTES: 1) Sources with "[" can be VESA E-EDID reported. 2) Interlaced signals are not supported. 3) The desired processing path for a DVI source is selected in the TPC Advanced Custom menu. Non-cinema processing is required for DVI sources with a pixel clock rate over 110 MHz, which is the limit for cinema processing.
Section 5: Non-Cinema Operation 5.2 Selecting the Source For any display, the projector interprets incoming signal data according to one of 32 user-selectable display files defined at the time of installation (and/or with each subsequent release of a new digital cinema feature), and stored in projector memory.

CONVERGENCE The alignment of the red, green, and blue light elements of a projected image so that they appear as a single element. In this projector, convergence can be adjusted by Christie service personnel only.
Appendix A: Glossary DIGITAL CINEMA Professional public presentation of theatrical content by electronic means, particularly emphasizing projectors such as the CP2000 whose image source is digital data. Also known as d-cinema and (rarely) e-cinema. DIGITAL INTERPOLATION Also known as digital scaling. The process of averaging pixel information when scaling (resizing) an image up or down. When reducing the size of an image, adjacent pixels are averaged to create fewer pixels.
Appendix A: Glossary GVG Grass Valley Group (formerly part of Tektronix). More specifically, the .gvg file format used for compressed video, audio, and timecode stream transfer in the Profile video server products, proposed for standardization by SMPTE and as a primary component of MXF. Initially implemented on Fibre Channel using FTP with TCP/IP but extensible to XTP or other protocols. Previously called GXF: General Exchange Format.
Appendix A: Glossary INTERFACE MODULE A device, such as the Serial Digital Input Module, that accepts an input signal for display by the projector. Interfaces are not used with the CP2000. INTERLACE A method used by video tape players and some computers to double the vertical resolution without increasing the horizontal line rate. If the resulting frame/field rate is too low, the image may flicker depending on the image content.
Appendix A: Glossary LUMINANCE The signal representing the measurable intensity (comparable to brightness) of an electronic image when the image is represented as separate chrominance and luminance. Luminance also expresses the light intensity of a diffuse source as a function of its area; measured in lumens or candles per square foot (1 lumen per square foot = 1 foot-lambert). SMPTE RP 98 calls for a luminance of 12 to 22 footlamberts for theatre screens. Refer to Foot-Lambert.
Appendix A: Glossary PAL VIDEO PAL (Phase Alternating Line) video is a 50 Hz standard with 768 x 576 resolution. It is found on some video tape and disk players (used primarily in Europe, China and some South American and African countries). PCF Projector Configuration File, or Presentation Control File. A small file created by the content owner or installer that controls the presentation of the elements and data subdivisions constituting a single version of a title.
Appendix A: Glossary PRODUCTION APERTURE The area (in pixels, for digital images) that constitutes the entire motion picture frame image. Refer to Active Picture. PROJECTOR-TO-SCREEN-DISTANCE The distance between the projector's front feet centers and the screen. Also called Throw Distance. PROTOCOL The type of code format called A or B utilized by the remote keypad(s). The default protocol set at manufacture is Protocol A.
Appendix A: Glossary RGB VIDEO The video output (analog or digital) of most computers. Analog RGB video can have 3, 4, or 5 wires - one each for red, green, and blue, and either none, one or two for sync. For three-wire RGB, the green wire usually provides sync. Refer to TTL Video. RS-232 A common asynchronous data transmission standard recommended by the Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Also called serial communication.
Appendix A: Glossary SWITCHER A signal selector—specifically, the Marquee Signal Switcher formerly manufactured by Christie—can be connected for adding more sources to a projector. SYNC This term refers to the part of the video signal that is used to stabilize the picture. Sync can occur in three forms: • Composite sync: the horizontal and vertical components are together on one cable. • Sync-on-green: the sync is part of the green video. • Separate sync or H.SYNC and V.
Appendix A: Glossary UNICODE The Unicode method of encoding produces a very large character set typically required for ASCII messaging in nonWestern languages such as Chinese, Russian, etc. In unicode, every number (code) is unique to a single character. A limited number of TPC functions can be executed remotely via unicode or non-unicode (default) messaging—this is auto-detected. Refer to Non-unicode.
Appendix A: Glossary WHITE FIELD The area of an image that is white only. For example, a full white field is an image that is white everywhere. A 10% white field is a white area (usually rectangular) that occupies 10% of the image; the remaining 90% is black. YCBCR A high-end digital component video signal. YPBPR A high-end analog component video signal. Sometimes called YUV, Component, or Y, R-Y, B-Y, the YPbPr signal bypasses the video decoder in this projector. YUV See YPbPr.
