See the license label on the back of the projector or Section 7 Specifications for rated voltage and power. The projector is equipped with a 3-wire plug with a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced.
2 Installation and Setup This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector for delivery of superior image quality. Illustrations are graphical representations only and are provided to enhance the understanding of the written material. 2.1 Projector Quick Setup and Installation The following instructions are for those preferring a quick setup. Refer to the remaining subsections for detailed setup instructions.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2. Align the lens interface plate with the lens mount. Align the lens electrical connector with the mating connector on the lens mount. Fully insert the assembly straight into the lens mount opening without turning. Press using your hand as shown. NOTE: When installing the lens, ensure that the lens is not inserted at an angle, as this can cause damage. 3.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.1.2 Position the Projector 2 people are required to safely lift and install the projector. Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular to the screen at a suitable distance. The further back the projector is positioned for the screen, the larger the image will be. To level the projector adjust the 3 feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned.
Section 2: Installation and Setup For 1900W and 2400W Models: 1. Connect the line cord of the projector to the AC receptacle at the AC inlet of the projector, then push the wire clip over the plug to retain it, as shown. For 3000W Model: 1. Remove the locking pin from the bracket surrounding the AC receptacle at the AC inlet of the projector by pressing down on the button on the end of the locking pin, and then pull upwards on the pin to remove it. 2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 3. Insert the plug fully on to the receptacle. When fully inserted, the cap on the AC plug will rest against the side of the projector. 4. Reinsert the locking pin into the bracket surrounding the AC receptacle by pressing down on the button on the end of the locking pin and insert the pin into the bracket, as shown. Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord is not within the specified ratings.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.1.7 Adjust the Image Adjust the image settings, such as Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Focus, Zoom etc. using the direct keys on the remote, or on the built-in keypad. See Section 3 Operation for more details. 2.2 Detailed Setup and Installation Always power down the projector and disconnect all power sources before servicing or cleaning. In the unlikely event of a lamp explosion, particles may be blown out of the rear air vents.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Adjustable Feet Located on the underside of the projector are four adjustable feet. Raise or lower these feet when positioning the projector to ensure it is level on all sides so the displayed image will appear rectangular without any keystone. See 2.4.7 Adjusting Projector Height/Tilt for instructions on how to adjust the projector feet. Input Panel All source connections are made to the input panel located at the back of the projector.
Section 2: Installation and Setup NOTES: 1) The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. 2) Use the lens cap when transporting the lens to avoid scratching and damaging the lens, which could affect your displayed image. 3) Motorized lenses should not be adjusted by hand without first setting them for manual operation, otherwise the zoom and focus motors may be damaged. (Set in Menu > Configuration > Lens Settings > Manual Zoom/Focus).
Section 2: Installation and Setup Rear Screen / Floor Mount with Mirror ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS Projector is completely hidden Requires separate room or enclosure. Usually good ambient light rejection. Installation cost is usually higher. Requires less space behind screen than other rear screen installations. More involved to perform setup. 2.2.3 Front Screen Installations In front screen installations, the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat or curved.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.2.6 Ambient Lighting The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered less than ideal. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention. Contrast ratio in your images will be reduced if stray light directly strikes the screen. For example, when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may appear washed out and less vibrant.
Section 2: Installation and Setup IMPORTANT! Use the lens and screen size to calculate the precise throw distance using the lens throw calculator provided in the Dealer Section of the Christie Website, or use the tables provided in 020-100221-XX. Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw distance can vary ±5% between lenses with the same nominal throw ratio. 2.3.

Section 2: Installation and Setup FIGURE 2-2 HORIZONTAL OFFSET EXAMPLES 2.4 Lifting, Hoisting, and Stacking For any new installation, you will likely have to safety lift or hoist the projector into place. Keep in mind the following guidelines for safety. 2.4.1 Lifting Guidelines All models include handles for convenient hand transport only; such as when a projector is lifted from a shipping container to a table. Note the following: • The handles are intended to support the weight of 1 projector only.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.2 Hoisting Guidelines There are 4 integral rigging points on the top of the projector to enable upright or inverted hoisting. See below for either orientation, hoist an individual projector, or up to 3 projectors in a stack. Rules for all hoisting: • Use at least 4 rigging points for hoisting up to 3 projectors. • Connect safety cables, and rigging equipment suitable to your application such as clamps, cables, eyebolts, or straps, which accommodate the load rating.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.3 Hoisting Procedure This procedure applies to one or more projectors. To hoist a stack, first stack 2 or 3 projectors according to the stacking procedure included in this manual. Never stack or hoist more than 3 projectors together. 1. Remove the projection lens to prevent possible damage during hoisting. See 5.2 Replacing the Projection Lens. 2. If the projector is inverted, retract the adjustable feet to prevent the hoisting hardware from getting caught. 3.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 1. Position the projectors. • Place each projector to be stacked on a secure table or cart. • Place 1 projector on its side to access its adjustable feet, and stacking legs. • Orient the other projector in either upright or inverted position as required (remember, each projector in a stack must be in the same orientation). 2. Fully retract each foot (4) as far as possible by turning them clockwise. • If upright, retract the feet on top projector.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 5. The 3 safety pins must be removed from the stacking mounts so that the stacking legs can fit into the mounts. • If upright, remove the pins from the mounts on the bottom projector • If inverted, remove the 3 safety pins from the mounts on the top projector 6. With 1 person on each side, lift the top projector on to the bottom projector, aligning all 3 stacking points between projectors. The legs (4) should fit inside the stacking mounts. Minimum of 2 people required.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.5 Alignment Procedure Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so that the resulting display is optimized and as sharp as possible. If you are also hoisting the stack, hoist the stack into place first and then align. Lock all stacking hardware into place to maintain your alignment. IMPORTANT! Ensure the stacking legs are extended at least 1 inch and are slightly loosened. Before You Begin • Always align to the fixed projector.
Section 2: Installation and Setup • If center lines are parallel, but others are not, turn the front stacking mount wheel to bring the center lines into alignment. 6. Align the edges of the grid with center lines aligned: a. Adjust zoom (top projector) to align the edges of its image with the other image. b. Adjust focus. When aligned, all lines from the combined red/green grids will be yellow. 7. Secure all stacking wheels and leg nuts: Critical Safety Procedure.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.8 Basic Optical Alignment Only perform image alignment on-ce the projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final location. Basic image alignment ensures the image reflected from the DMDs is parallel to and well-centered with 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 and Setup 2.4.9 Advanced Optical Alignment Boresight Alignment Procedure for CT Lens Mount To adjust the boresight on a J Series projector equipped with a CT lens mount, see the Boresight Adjustment Procedure instruction sheet found on the Christie website P/N: 013-100141-04. Boresight Alignment Procedure for ILS Lens Mount 1.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 6. Adjust cross-hair pattern II, by adjusting the appropriate capscrew, see Figure 2-4 Screw Locations. Adjust until the cross-hair image is in focus with minimal flare. 7. Adjust cross-hair pattern III, by adjusting the appropriate capscrew, see Figure 2-4 Screw Locations. Adjust until the cross-hair image is in focus with minimal flare. 8. Repeat step 5, 6, and 7 as required until all 3 cross-hair patterns are in equal sharp focus.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5 Connect Communications 2.5.1 Remote Keypads NOTE: The response to a wired keypad must be enabled in the Communications menu. See Section 4 Web User Interface for more information. To control the projector, direct the IR remote towards the display screen or the projector IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the XLR connector labeled as Wired Keypad on the input panel.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.4 Connect RS-422 To control the projector with a computer or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the controlling device and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is better suited than RS-232, for serial communication over distances greater than 50 feet. Use the RS-422 port only if your device has RS-422 capability. Always consult the literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Table 2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.5 Ethernet Communications See Section 3 Operation for further information about setting up and using a projector connected via Ethernet, and the Serial Command document provided in the Dealer Section of the Christie Website, 020-100224-XX. 2.5.6 Connect Multiple Projectors RS-232 Network: To connect multiple projectors in a network with serial communication: 1. Connect the controller source to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network. 2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Communication parameters, such as baud rate, must be set to match the particular controller device, before connecting as a network. See the documentation that came with your controller device to determine the proper baud rate. See Section 3 Operation for help changing the projector baud rate. To communicate to all projectors, set the Network Routing to RS-232 and RS-422 Joined. NOTE: Connect only high quality, properly wired serial communication cables.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.8 Communicate to all Ports To relay all messages to all ports—RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet—set the Network Routing option in the Communications menu for each projector to All Joined, see Section 4 Web User Interface. This configuration is useful if you are using a non-RS-232 controller with the RS-232 linking available between these projectors.

Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.7 Connect Sources Sources are connected to the input panel located at the back of the projector. The Input Panel allows one image processor board and up to 4 input cards to be inserted. The input cards are hot swappable, meaning they may be plugged in and out while the projector is active. The image processor should only be replaced when the projector is off or when it is in standby mode.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.7.3 Analog BNC Input Card This card accepts several types of sync modes. In 5-wire sync mode all 5 BNC connectors are used. If H and V connectors are swapped, this card will still operate normally. An analog graphic source such as a VGA from a PC can be connected. The card can operate in 4-wire sync mode, which accommodates 4-wire RGBC sources. The composite sync cable can be connected to either the H/C BNC or the V BNC.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.7.6 Video Decoder Input Card This card accepts and decodes standard definition (SD) video. This includes CVBS (composite video), SVideo, and component sources. This card supports as many as 6 video signals, four of them on BNC connectors and two on 4-pin mini-DIN connectors. Each mini-DIN connector accepts 1 S-Video signal.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.7.8 Twin DisplayPort Input Card The Twin DisplayPort Input card accepts Display Port 1.1a inputs from one or two DisplayPort sources. The card has two DisplayPort outputs, each of which is loop through for its respective input (loop through of encrypted content is not supported). Five LEDs are on the card faceplate. The PWR on the left side indicates power is applied and the card is initialized.
Section 2: Installation and Setup • Balance the connection tree to ensure the level of loop-through is minimized. NOTE: This is to enable the downstream projectors to finish source switches in a minimum amount of time.

Section 3: Operation 3.3.1 How to Select an Input Or a Channel Input: An input is a source physically connected to the projector. INPUT describes the source signal and which input slot it is connected to. Channel: A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that tailor the display of a signal to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary greatly, you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, size, etc.
Section 3: Operation 3.3.2 Create a New Channel To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be created so that the projector will respond to an input signal from that source. A new channel can be created automatically, or it can be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary, refer to Figure 3-6 Copy A Channel and Figure 3-7 Delete a Channel.

Section 3: Operation 3.4 Adjusting the Image The most commonly used options for image adjustments are accessed through two menus: Size and Position (MENU 1) and Image Settings (MENU 2), both of which appear in the Main menu. From either of these two menus, you can change settings affecting the image from the current channel by working with the appropriate slide bars, check boxes and pull-down lists.
Section 3: Operation 3.5 Size and Position Menu Increase or decrease the size of your image, change its proportion (aspect ratio), move the image to a specific area of the screen, and refine other related parameters. Use Size and Position controls to match the image precisely to the screen used at the site. See 3.2.4 How to Use Slide Bars and Other Controls if you need help using any of the options and controls.
Section 3: Operation • No resizing displays the image in its native resolution, which may or may not match the projector’s resolution. For example, for a source with a native resolution of 800 x 600, “No Resizing” in an SXGA+ projector will use the central 800 x 600 pixels and have a black border. The black border areas are unused areas, see below. • Full size uses all pixels for displaying the image, regardless of source or original aspect ratio.
Section 3: Operation 3.5.3 Vertical Stretch Adjusts the height of the image while keeping the width constant. Use “Vertical Stretch” to change the aspect ratio of the display. 3.5.4 Pixel Track Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking ensures that the image quality is consistent across the screen, the aspect ratio is maintained, and that the pixel phase can be optimized (described below).
Section 3: Operation 3.5.9 Blanking - Submenu This submenu consists of the following options: • Active Input Window: This read-only value indicates the current size of your displayed data or “region of interest” as defined by the blanking controls. By default, the projector automatically determines what portion of its full resolution to use, and pixels in the surrounding borders are turned off. To specify a specific active input window size by adjust one or more “Blank” settings.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.1 Contrast Contrast increases or decreases the perceived difference between light and dark areas of your image (0-100). For best results, keep close to 50, start with a lower value and increase so that whites remain bright but are not distorted or tinted, and that light areas do not become white. NOTE: If the environment lighting changes, an adjustment of Gamma is recommended (see below). 3.6.2 Brightness Increases or decreases the amount of black in the image (0-100).
Section 3: Operation incoming signal. Selecting a specific standard forces the projector to process the signal according to this standard. NOTE: Best results are obtained with defined channels. Otherwise, switching from one video source to another can sometimes cause slight disturbances in the display, indicating that the Auto function is struggling. Recover by briefly selecting a different video standard, then going back. STANDARD PAL NTSC SECAM NTSC 4.
Section 3: Operation • Adaptive Contrast: Dynamically expands the contrast of the output image producing vibrant images with seamless response to scene changes and fades. The slide bar adjusts the amount of adaptive contrast to apply, with a setting of “0” producing no change. Adaptive contrast is disabled when the Dynamic Iris is operating in Dynamic mode.
Section 3: Operation For a source exhibiting overly high black levels (typically caused by a noisy source causing black level spikes) use the Input Levels menu (shown above). These adjustments, serve as a calibration process compensating for differences in sources and cabling, to perfect the source image input levels and eliminate the “overshoot” and “undershoot”. NOTES: 1) Input Levels are of limited use with digital signals, but do offer some ability to tweak poorly mastered source materials.
Section 3: Operation neighboring pixels. Images from this source will then display correct blacks and whites without crushing. See Figure 3-8. 1. Display a 16 level grey scale test pattern from the desired external source, and enter a check mark in the Input Peak Detector check box. NOTE: The Input Peak Detector will initially render the grey scale as a uniform grey field before adjustment or extreme crushing. 2. Display one primary color.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.8 Gamma Settings - Submenu The system offers two types of gamma correction. Gamma correction can be applied to a specific source to correct for luma encoding. This is a channel setting and reapplied every time the same signal is detected. This is the 'Gamma' control. On the other hand the system also provides a global Gamma Correction control. The global control offers an offset applied to all channels.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.9 Detail Settings Adjusts the sharpness of the image. Setting detail above the halfway point can introduce ‘noise’ in the image. Lower settings can improve a noisy signal. • Detail: Adjust the sharpness of the image. Setting detail above the halfway-point can introduce noise in the image. Lower settings can improve a noisy signal. This command does not take effect unless the minimum change required in the Detail Threshold control is reached.

Section 3: Operation • HDMI Output Loop Source: This control is used to configure the HDMI output options. Selecting Direct Loop will directly pass-through the HDMI input signals: on the same Twin HDMI Input Card, the Input1 signal is looped to Output1 and the Input2 signal is looped to Output2. Selecting Main/PIP Loop will loop the Main and PIP video to the outputs, regardless from which card these signals originate. The Main video signal is looped to Output1 and the PIP video signal is looped to Output2.
Section 3: Operation • Turn Off Image After (Min): This sets the activation interval (in minutes) for Auto Shutdown. If all activity (input signals, web or serial port activity, key presses) is lost for this length of time, and Auto Shutdown is enabled, an Auto Shutdown cycle will begin. • Enter Standby After (Min): This sets the interval (in minutes) between starting Auto Shutdown and entering Standby mode.
Section 3: Operation • Start-up Only – The splash screen logo appears at projector start-up only. • Start-up And No Signal – A splash screen appears at start-up and at any time when there is no signal. To add your own splash screen in addition to the default “Christie logo” splash screen, use the Web UI to download the desired bitmap (.bmp) file to the projector. This will overwrite any other user splash screen that has been downloaded. NOTE: Only one user splash screen can be saved in the projector.
Section 3: Operation • Separate - Select “Separate” (factory default) to keep RS-232, RS-422 and Ethernet messages on their respective paths instead of being broadcast to the other types of ports, see Section 2 Installation and Setup. • RS-232 and RS-422 Joined - Messages originating from an RS-232 or RS-422 controller will be relayed to all RS-232or RS-422 ports. Any Ethernet communication, however, will not.
Section 3: Operation • When controlling a projector with DMX, it is recommended that no other interfaces (such as the IR Remote or Web interfaces) are used. • The Menu for setting the ArtNET and DMX interface is always available at: Configuration > Communications > DMX/ArtNET Settings. NOTE: When a DMXC card is installed, the same menu is available at: Configuration > Option Card Settings > DMX Input Card > DMX/ArtNET Settings.
Section 3: Operation • Input Noise Filter: The Input Noise Filter eliminates DMX/ArtNET input oscillation, which can occur on some DMX control boards. This can cause fine resolution controls (e.g. Lens, Brightness) to continually change. A filter setting of 0 will turn off the filter; a setting of 1 will filter +/- 1 step changes, etc. Using this filter will decrease the fine control precision of some slider controls. By default this filter is set to 0 (Off).
Section 3: Operation Traps A trap is a condition that SNMP monitors on the projector. When the condition is met, a notification is sent via an SNMP notification or email message. Each traps condition can be set to Disabled, SNMP Trap, Email or SNMP Trap + Email. The traps are defined in a series of MIB files hosted directly on the projector. MIB files can be accessed from a web browser window, using the address ///mibs/.
Section 3: Operation Email Notification When a trap occurs while Email Notification is selected for the event, an individual email will be sent to each user defined email recipient. The SNMP menu allows up to 3 email address (up to 64 characters in length) to request notifications from the system during a trap event. The resulting email will be in the following format: From: To:
Section 3: Operation Adjust An Image For Keystone Correction 1. Enable keystone adjustments by selecting Keystone from the Geometry Correction drop down list.

Section 3: Operation 3.9.14Brightness Uniformity - Submenu Provides further refinement of displays already matched for their primary colors and overall light output. Use Brightness Uniformity to create an exceptionally smooth image in which no area appears brighter than another. In the Brightness Uniformity menu, enable the Brightness Uniformity Enable check box to access a multitude of adjustments for light output control in specific areas throughout the image.
Section 3: Operation White Uniformity Slide Bars: White Uniformity slide bar values may not reduce to “0”. Each slide bar adjusts overall light output in a specific screen zone, but the value shown represents the current setting for green in this zone. When other “hidden” values (red or blue) are lower than green, during adjustment in the White Uniformity menu their values will reach “0” first, causing the slide bar to stop earlier than expected.
Section 3: Operation Repeat the color adjustment of sides and corners for each edge of the screen that does not yet match the center (note that each corner is adjustable in either of its two adjacent “side” menus). When done, all areas of a given screen should match. Repeat Steps 2a and 2b for all remaining screens. 3. Adjust Light Output in Eight Zones For each screen, compare the light output of each edge and corner to that of the center.
Section 3: Operation For best results, use the same projector model and type throughout your display wall. In addition, avoid highgain screens whenever possible—the optical performance of such screens demands minimal image offset, thus projectors must be located very close to one another. FIGURE 3-11 EDGE BLENDING CONCEPT Edge blending software controls are located in the two-page Edge Blending submenu—access via Configuration menu, then go to the Geometry and Color menu and select Edge Blending.
Section 3: Operation Edge Blending Procedure NOTES: 1) Before attempting to work with edge blending software functions, align the projectors/images by correctly overlapping the displays from your intended external source. 2) Match colors and the brightness uniformity.
