1 Introduction Every effort has been made to ensure the information in this document is accurate and reliable; however, due to constant research the information in this document is subject to change without notice. USERS/OPERATORS: This manual is intended for trained users operating professional high-brightness projection systems. Such users may also be trained to replace the lamp and air filter, but cannot install the projector or perform any service functions on the M Series projector.
Section 1: Introduction 1.2 Purchase Record and Service Contacts Whether the projector is under warranty or the warranty has expired, Christie’s highly trained and extensive factory and dealer service network is always available to quickly diagnose and correct projector malfunctions. Complete service manuals and updates are available for all projectors. Should a problem be encountered with any part of the projector, contact your dealer. In most cases, servicing is performed on site.
Section 1: Introduction 1.3.2 User Interface Overview The projector can be controlled via a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system can be controlled by an IR remote, wired remote or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and built-in keypad allow some functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and provide a quickly accessible interface to view error reporting.
Section 1: Introduction Table 1.2 M Series Projectors 1.
Section 1: Introduction 1.4.2 AC/Power Precautions Use only the AC power cord supplied. Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not within the specified voltage and power range. 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 its 3 feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.1.4 Connect the Line Cord IMPORTANT!Use the line cord provided with the projector, or ensure you are using a line cord, power plug and socket that meet the appropriate rating standards. Voltage and current requirements are listed on the license label, located at the back of the projector. Connect the projector line cord to the AC receptacle at the AC inlet of the projector, then push the wire clip over the plug to retain it.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.2.1 About the Projector Built-In Keypad The built-in keypad is located on the side of the projector. Use it similarly to the IR remote to control the projector. An LCD display is located above the keypad for displaying projector status. AC Receptacle The AC receptacle is located above the AC receptacle at the back of the projector. Use this receptacle to plug in an appropriately rated line cord.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Lamp Door The lamp doors are located at the side of the projector, which provides easy access to the lamp module for replacement. The lamp doors are fitted with safety interlocks which switch the lamp off when the door is opened. The lamp doors are provided with clear windows to indicate when the lamps are on. Front and Rear IR Sensors The two IR sensors receive transmissions from the IR remote from up to 100 feet away.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.2.2 Installation Considerations Proper installation of the projector will ensure the quality of the display. Whether installing a projector temporarily or permanently, take the following into account to make sure the projector performs optimally. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Front Screen / Floor Mount Installations ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS Easy to set up.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Curved screens have a gain greater than 1.0 with a viewing angle much less than 180 degrees. This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions; instead it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone area will see a brighter image than those sitting just outside the area. 2.2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup adequate airflow around the projector, allow free air exchange to the projector with a minimum clearance of 25cm (10-inch) on the left, right and rear sides of the projector from any walls or other obstructions. Never obstruct the air exchange to the projector. 2.2.8 Other Considerations Other considerations and tips to improve your installation: • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 40°C (104°F).
Section 2: Installation and Setup The vertical position of the image can be offset (that is moved above or below the optical axis) by adjusting the motorized lens mount. The amount of vertical offset available depends on the type of lens installed in the projector and can be limited if horizontal offset has been applied. Vertical offset can be expressed as the percent of half the image height or the number of pixels of shift from lens center.
Section 2: Installation and Setup The horizontal position of the image can also be offset; that is moved to the left or right of optical center, by adjusting the motorized lens mount. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can be expressed as the percent of half the image width or the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center. Table 2.4, Table 2.5 and Table 2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup FIGURE 2-1 VERTICAL OFFSET EXAMPLES 2-12 M Series User Manual 020-100009-08 Rev.
Section 2: Installation and Setup FIGURE 2-2 HORIZONTAL OFFSET EXAMPLES 2.4 Mounting There are several methods for mounting the projector. In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface, such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when the projector has to be moved often. To prevent accidental movement during a presentation, lock the wheels on the cart. 2.4.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.3 Stacking The M Series projectors can be stacked up to a maximum of 3 projectors high using the Christie stacking frame (118-100107-XX). 1. Turn the projector OFF and disconnect the AC power cord after the cooling fans have stopped. 2. Make sure the base plate is flat. 3. Place the projector into the stacking frame. NOTE: There are two ways of placing the projector into the stacking frame: from the top or from the front. 4.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.4.4 Stacking Multiple Projectors NOTE: The projectors can be stacked and hoisted in either an upright or inverted positions. 1. With one person positioned on each side of the stacking frame, lift the top stacking frame onto the bottom stacking frame, aligning all four stacking legs between the frames. NOTE: Remove the locking pin from each stacking leg prior to alignment and ensure the four stacking legs are fully seated on the lower stacking frame.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5 Adjust Projector Height and Tilt 2.5.1 Adjust Height You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly uneven mounting surface by adjusting the three feet threaded into the bottom chassis. Turn each foot clock-wise or counter-clockwise until the projector is level on all sides. The front feet are adjusted by turning the collar and the feet do not rotate when adjusted. The rear foot is adjusted by turning the entire foot. 2.5.2 Adjust Tilt 1.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 4. Center the image on the screen: If the projector is mounted off center to the screen axis, then offset the lens as much as required. Aim the projector over slightly towards the center of the screen, but use caution when doing so, as too much tilt will cause excessive keystone distortion. Lens offset will not. 5.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 4. Use a 5 mm hex driver to loosen 3 setscrews on the lens mount as shown in Figure 2-4 Screw Locations. NOTE: The setscrews must be backed out several turns to avoid contact with the inner lens mount plate. FIGURE 2-3 CROSS-HAIR PATTERN FIGURE 2-4 SCREW LOCATIONS 5. Fine tune the focus of cross-hair pattern I by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the crosshair image is in focus with minimal flare. 6.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 11. Lock the setscrews, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the setscrew enough to ensure they will not shift. FIGURE 2-5 POSITION SETSCREW FLUSH 2.8 Power Down The projector can be powered down by using one of the following methods: 2.8.1 Remote Keypad/Built-In Keypad • Press and hold POWER -OR• Press POWER twice -OR• Press POWER once, then immediately press the FIGURE 2-6 POWERING DOWN/WEB USER INTERFACE DOWN key.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.9 Connect Communications 2.9.1 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 2.9.4 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 2.9.5 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. 2.9.6 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 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. NOTES: 1) Connect only high quality, properly wired serial communication cables. 2) Each RS-232 communication cable should be no more than 50 feet in length.
Section 2: Installation and Setup For example, you may want to use both an RS-422 compatible controller and an Ethernet connected PC for working with a network of projectors linked via their RS-232 IN/OUT ports. To isolate just RS-422 communications, select RS-232 and Ethernet Joined. Only projector 1 will respond to the RS-422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet communications, select RS-232 and RS-422 Joined. Only projector 1 will respond via Ethernet. 2.9.

Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.10 Projector Communications 2.10.1Status LEDs Looking from the back of the projector, the LEDs represent, from left to right; Lamp 1, Lamp 2, Power, and Status.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.11 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 2.11.3Analog 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 2.11.6Video 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 2.11.8Connect Tiled Projectors Wiring Requirements A distribution box or digital signal switcher may be used to feed the same video signal to all the units of the tiling array. FIGURE 2-7 USE OF DISTRIBUTION BOX Christie loop-through may be used to set up a tiling array (see Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-12). The system allows wiring (providing the HDCP requirement is met) when HDCP is used by the source. The cascade level of devices must be no more than 7 levels deep.

Section 3: Operation 3.1.3 Wired Remote You can convert the remote keypad into a wired remote keypad using the cable provided with the projector. Connect one end into the remote and the other to the XLR connector on the input panel labeled as wired keypad. The wired remote is recommended when: • The built-in keypad is inaccessible • The lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission NOTE: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser pointer key to work. 3.1.
Section 3: Operation • Power Key: Used to switch from Standby mode to ON, and from ON to Standby mode; LED always remains Amber • Help Key: Only available in the On Screen Display (OSD) context; LED is Amber when the menu is being displayed on the projected image display; when no menu is being displayed, the Help key is still enabled if the OSD is enabled. It is only disabled when the entire OSD is set to OFF. • Auto Key: Enabled state when the power is ON, and there are no test patterns on the screen.
Section 3: Operation Table 3.2 Auto Setup OPTIMIZES SETS TO DEFAULT Pixel Tracking Contrast Pixel Phase Brightness Size and Blanking Auto Input Level (off) Vertical Stretch Detail (if video source) Position Filter Input Levels Luma Delay The best auto setup will be obtained under the following conditions: • Input levels, it is best to have an image with saturated (very bright) colors. • Phase, high contrast edges are needed.
Section 3: Operation Bright Increases or decreases the black level in the image. Use LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY until you reach the desired level of brightness. For best results, start high and decrease so that dark areas do not become fully black (i.e., “crushed”). Conversely, overly high brightness changes black to dark grey, causing washed-out images. Gamma Determines how grey shades are displayed between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for a given amount of signal.
Section 3: Operation ARROW KEY (open) to guarantee the correct state (useful if you are unsure of the present state). Alternatively, press SHUTTER, SHUTTER to toggle from the present on/off state. A closed shutter blanks the display (turns it to black). Close the shutter to block the displayed image while maintaining access to projector functions. Opening the shutter restores the image. NOTES: 1) The LCD display shows the current state of the shutter. 2) The shutter is open upon power-up.
Section 3: Operation Exit Press EXIT to return to the previous level, such as the previous menu. NOTE: EXIT does not save changes within text editing boxes (including number editing of a slide bar value) or within pull-down lists. In these cases, EXIT acts as a “cancel”. Arrow Keys Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY to change a slide bar value or to select a different option within a pull-down list without having to first scroll through options or navigate within a menu, pull-down list or text box.
Section 3: Operation With a function menu displayed, enter a menu option number for any numbered option, or use the UP/DOWN ARROW KEY to highlight the desired option and then press ENTER. Long menus have a scroll bar on the right; use the arrow keys to access the remainder of the menu. Locked items or items that do not pertain to the current action or condition appear dimmed and cannot be selected. When finished with a function menu: • Press EXIT to return to the previous screen.
Section 3: Operation Slide Bars In Menus: The current value for a given parameter, such as size or vertical stretch, appears to the left of its slide bar icon (adjustment window). This number often expresses a percentage, or it may have units associated with it (such as pixels), depending on the specific option. Press LEFT/RIGHT ARROW KEY to gradually adjust the setting up or down; both the number and the length of the bar change accordingly. Hold for continuous adjustment.
Section 3: Operation 3.2.5 Edit Text Activate the Edit Window: To enter or edit text, highlight the desired parameter (such as a channel name) and press ENTER to activate its adjacent edit window. Any previously entered text is displayed with its first character highlighted in a square cursor, signifying that this character is ready for editing. Navigate Within the Edit Window: Press RIGHT ARROW KEY to move the cursor forward or LEFT ARROW KEY to move the cursor backwards as desired.
Section 3: Operation 3.3 Using Inputs and Channels The projector stores and recalls up to 99 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory feature allows you to define and use a variety of customized setups. Depending on what you have defined, each physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it. NOTE: See Section 2 Installation and Setup, for a full explanation of how to connect sources to the projector. 3.3.
Section 3: Operation • If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter, such as contrast, V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory (see CHANNEL below). Using one of the input or slot keys will automatically recall this channel, all its setup parameters, and update the display accordingly.
Section 3: Operation 3.3.4 Channel Setup Menu All available channels are listed in the Channel Setup menu, which describes how each channel can be accessed and provides access for editing, copying and deleting channels. Press MENU from the presentation level to display the Main menu. To display the Channel Setup menu, press 3, or move the highlight to the Channel Setup option and press ENTER. The Channel Setup menu will appear.
Section 3: Operation To Copy A Channel: Highlight the desired channel in the Channel Setup menu, then press ENTER to go to the Select Channel Operation submenu. Select “Copy” and press ENTER; a new channel will be created. It is identical to original, which still remains, but it is identified with the next available number from 01-99. If you change your mind and do not want to copy the current channel, press EXIT to cancel and return to the previous menu.
Section 3: Operation To Edit A Channel: Press MENU from the presentation level to display the Main menu. To display the Channel Setup menu, press 3 or move the highlight to the Channel Setup option and press ENTER. The Channel Setup menu will appear. 1. To edit parameters shown in the Channel Setup menu, select the relevant channel and press ENTER. The Channel Edit menu will appear similar to the sample shown below. 2.
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 3.5.2 Size Controls both the image width and height in tandem, maintaining the current aspect ratio of the displayed signal data. 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.
Section 3: Operation 3.5.8 Keep Aspect On Auto Setup Ensures that auto setup for any source will maintain the input aspect ratio when the default size is calculated. If disabled and the source is not a special case video source where a default stretch is defined, the source is scaled to fit the platform. 3.5.
Section 3: Operation 3.6 Image Settings Menu Use the Image Settings menu to alter your main image without affecting its size or position. Changes made are applied immediately and are saved when you exit the menu (press EXIT or MENU). Options not available for the projector model or source are disabled and appear dim (grey). 3.6.1 Contrast Contrast increases or decreases the perceived difference between light and dark areas of your image (0-100).
Section 3: Operation 3.6.5 Video Options - Submenu This submenu is used with video sources only. • Enable Decoder (AGC): AGC affects decoded video images only. Enter a check mark (default) in most instances. Activate the decoder’s AGC circuit to ensure properly bright images. Delete the check mark if a decoded video image exhibits strange color artifacts such as stripes in highly saturated colors, indicating an incompatibility between this source and the AGC.
Section 3: Operation • Filter: The proper filter setting is automatically set for virtually all signals, and rarely needs to be changed. Override only if standard pixel tracking and phase adjustments do not adequately clear up a “noisy” video signal, or if a graphics signal appears overly “soft”. Both instances indicate that “Filter” may be set to the wrong option. • Sampling Mode: Sets the color sampling mode for a digital signal to either YCbCr 4:4:4, RGB or YCbCr 4:2:2.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.6 Input Levels - Submenu NOTES: 1) Because the projector automatically optimizes input levels for all but the most unusual of sources, it is recommended that only experienced users use the Input Levels submenu. 2) Before beginning, check that overall contrast and brightness settings are near 50 and that color temperature is properly set up on an internal gray scale test pattern. 3) See 3.1.6 Remote Keypad Commands, “AUTO”.
Section 3: Operation 1. Ensure overall “Contrast” and “Brightness” settings are both set to near 50. NOTE: Not required for “Auto” adjustment. CONTRAST = 50 (approx.)BRIGHT = 50 (approx.) 2. Check the color temperature setup using an internal grey scale test pattern, making sure to obtain a neutral grey scale. NOTE: Not required for “Auto” adjustment. 3. Confirm that you are using input on an Analog BNC card or a Dual Link DVI card. Input Levels are not applicable for sources going through the decoder.
Section 3: Operation 6. Repeat Steps 3-5 with the two remaining primary colors. When each primary color shows one optimized black band and white (or colored) band, the input levels for this source are correctly set. Upon exiting the Input Levels menu, the Peak Detector check box will clear.
Section 3: Operation • Gamma: Select the base gamma table for a given source. Select from one of the standard tables, a custom gamma function, or select an arbitrary gamma table that has been downloaded to the projector. NOTE: A separate PC utility is needed to do this. The 2.22 curve is a power curve typically used to encode graphics and video sources, see Figure 3-9 Gamma Curve. The 'standard' curve (auto setup default) is a modified 2.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.10Noise Reduction Settings • Noise Reduction: Selects a filter sensitivity to noise. A higher value may improve noisy sources, but it will soften the image. • Block Artifact Reduction: Locates and reduces block edges produced by discrete cosine transform (DCT) based compression processing. • Mosquito Noise Reduction: Reduces mosquito artifacts around sharp edges in DCT based compression by dynamically adapting to image content.
Section 3: Operation 3.6.12Dynamic Iris The Dynamic Iris adjusts the aperture to allow more or less light through. This will allow for deeper blacks in dark scenes. NOTE: Dynamic Iris is only applicable on 200W and 350W models. • Enabled: Enable either Manual or Per Channel operation of the Dynamic Iris. If set to Manual, set the Dynamic Iris Position control to set the Dynamic Iris to a fixed position, as a percentage of fully open.
Section 3: Operation amount of detail reduction depends on the average level of brightness in the scene, and the setting of this control. The brighter the scene the less impact this control will have. It is often best to adjust the sensitivity and white compression together to find the optimal settings. • Copy From: This control allows you to copy the Dynamic Iris Settings from an existing profile to the current profile. 3.
Section 3: Operation • Fade To Black Time: This control sets the amount of time (in seconds) that it takes to fade the image to/ from black. NOTE: The OSD only allows the fade time to be set. To initiate a Fade to Black, the Christie Serial command should be used. • HDMI Output Loop Source: This control is used to configure the HDMI output options.
Section 3: Operation • • • • dim and the shutter will close. If this condition persists for an additional time-out period, the projector will automatically go to Standby mode. The presence of any activity within this combined interval will cancel Auto Shutdown and return the projector to normal operation. Turn Off Image After (Min): This sets the activation interval (in minutes) for Auto Shutdown.
Section 3: Operation • Splash Screen Setup: Choose when to display a special introductory splash screen image, such as your company logo, graphic or message. • Always Off – A splash screen never appears • 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.
Section 3: Operation • Network Routing: NOTE: Not applicable for stand-alone projectors or simple serial networks with only one type of controller and linking. FIGURE 3-10 NETWORK ROUTING LIST • 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.
Section 3: Operation 3.7.10DMX / ArtNET - Submenu The projector supports the DMX512 protocol through both the DMXC option card and through the ArtNET communications via the Ethernet connector. Both input methods share the same feature list, and can share the same configuration methods as follows: • The user may select to monitor both, neither, or a single interface via a DMX control. • If both interfaces are selected, the DMXC input card will take priority if it is actively receiving data.
Section 3: Operation • • • • NOTE: Hardware termination is recommended, because software termination is only in place when the projector has AC applied. If there are cases where the network is required to be terminated without AC applied to the last projector, then a hardware terminator should be used ArtNET Universe: For DMX512, each universe represents a separate electrical circuit (up to 512 devices/ channels).

Section 3: Operation top and bottom borders of the image are unequal in length, and both sides of the image are inclined toward the top or bottom edge. Horizontal keystone is used to correct a keystoned image shape in which the left and right borders of the image are unequal in length, and the top and bottom are slanted to one of the sides. All settings to adjust keystone are in the Geometry Correction submenu.
Section 3: Operation 10. Repeat Steps 6 to 9 to adjust all 4 corners until they match the screen. 11. Select OK to apply the new corner positions to the image. NOTE: A message will be displayed for approximately 10 seconds indicating that the projector is “Processing request”. Under certain combinations of extreme keystone co-ordinates and specific signal frequency, a keystoned image may result that is outside the bandwidth limitations of the projector.
Section 3: Operation IMPORTANT! Before you begin, read through the entire procedure before attempting to adjust Brightness Uniformity controls, and keep in mind the following checklist of prerequisites and guidelines: Adjust Colors First: Always adjust the primary colors as described in 3.11.1 Match Colors in Multiple Screens procedure, before attempting to work with Brightness Uniformity.
Section 3: Operation d. In either Color Adjustments menu, select a “User” color. Then: • If you have created a “User 1” color gamut (recommended) for a well-matched wall, continue to Step 1e. • If you prefer maximum brightness rather than a particular color temperature, select Max Drives. IMPORTANT! Do not change User 1 Color Adjustment in color-matched applications. e. In the White Uniformity menu, and set the “Overall” output level to 50.0 and all remaining slide bars to 0.0.
Section 3: Operation 3.7.15Edge Blending - Submenu The Edge Blending submenu provides a range of controls for smoothing together the overlapping bright edges of multiple adjacent projected images to create a single larger “seamless” image. These controls, which primarily affect white levels, are typically used in conjunction with mechanical lens blinders (optional), which are installed on the front of the projector and which primarily affect black levels.
Section 3: Operation 3.7.16Advanced Edge Blending - Submenu Use Edge Blending controls to set the precise width, shape and midpoint you need to blend overlapping edges together smoothly. • Blend Width: Determines how much area is used for blending along an overlapping edge. Slide bar values represent the number of pixel steps used for the blend. For example, a setting of “eight” creates a blended edge 8 pixels wide. A setting of “0” signifies no blending.
Section 3: Operation 5. Re-adjust width (both projectors) until the overly bright band at the midpoint of the overlapping blends disappears or just changes to very light grey. For the shared edge, use the same Blend Width setting on each projector. NOTE: If the best blend appears to be between two settings, choose the wider setting for both projectors. 6. Check blend if the blended region appears too dark or light in relation to the rest of the image: a.
Section 3: Operation Use this submenu to create, alter or copy a color gamut (i.e., “color adjustment”). Controls in this menu define the precise hue of each primary color component (red, green, blue, and white) used to generate the millions of colors produced in displays. The x/y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph. Changing either or both of these numbers will change the hue of the color, and relocate the “triangle” for possible colors.
Section 3: Operation Black Level Blending Procedure NOTES: 1) Adjust white levels before adjusting black levels. 2) The zones in BLB menu correspond to the Edge Blend zones. 1. Start with two projectors. Select the black test pattern for both projectors from the Geometry and Color submenu. 2. In the Black Level Blending submenu, enable black blending by selecting Standard from the pull-down list for each projector. 3.
Section 3: Operation On each projector you must set the following: • The tiling array size - set the total rows and total columns. This setting will be the same on all the projectors in the array. • The relative location of the projector within the array - set the row number and column number for each projector • Enable Tiling - can be enabled or disabled without losing any of the above settings.
Section 3: Operation 3. Adjust Offsets to minimize area of black stripe. 4. Set Level Detector Threshold to near white (such as 800). 5. Adjust Gains to minimize area of white stripe. • Level Detector Threshold: Input Level Value defines the value to be used by the Input Level Detector in recognizing blacks and whites. See Input Level Detector, above. • Aspect Ratio Overlay: Check this box to display an overlay pattern over the image.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.2 Lamp Mode Select between one of the three different lamp modes: • Maximum Brightness mode sets the lamp to run at its highest power level. • Constant Intensity mode maintains a specific brightness level over time. The brightness level can be adjusted via the Intensity control (see below). As the lamp ages, the projector will increase power to maintain the desired brightness. This option is disabled if LiteLOC calibration has not been performed.
Section 3: Operation 3.8.8 Warn When Lamp Reaches (Hours) This control causes the projector to present a warning message when the lamp has a recorded ON time that exceeds the specified number of hours. The warning will be displayed via the status page for each lamp, where applicable. A value of 0 will turn this feature OFF. NOTE: This setting is user-defined only. It has no bearing on lamp warranty and is not tied to actual lamp life in any way. 3.8.
Section 3: Operation 3.9.3 Swap Main and PIP Inputs Toggle the current PIP relationship so that the primary (main) image becomes secondary (PIP), and the secondary image becomes primary. Swapping is available only when PIP is enabled. NOTE: You may experience a slight delay when swapping the Primary and Secondary images. 3.9.4 PIP Enable Short cut: Press PIP on the remote if menu not present. Toggle between displaying two sources at once (Main and PIP images) and the primary or main source only.
Section 3: Operation 3.9.9 Frame Locking When the selection is set to Frame Lock, output image frames are locked to the input. When locked, the output is always locked to the primary input, never the secondary image. Select Free Run and this will set the output to close at 60Hz for all sources. NOTE: Seamless switching is only available when free run is selected. When switching to a new input with frame locking enabled, the image will be black for the short period while the system locks onto the new input.
Section 3: Operation 3.11 Using Multiple Projectors IMPORTANT! When working with more than two projectors, work left to right, top to bottom. When an installation requires multiple projectors, use the RS-232 serial ports to daisy chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad or a computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the PROJ key as desired to limit responses to an individual projector.
Section 3: Operation 3. Use the same lamp mode for all projectors, and do the following: • • • • Set Select Color Adjustment to Max Drives Display a full white test pattern Adjust lamp power and Optical Aperture until adjacent white fields appear the same brightness. Display the Color Adjustments by X,Y menus for all projectors. Each menu shows the x/y coordinates defining the “Max Drives” color gamut for this projector. NOTE: The values shown in one (any) of the displays.
Section 3: Operation 5. In each projector, judge by eye and adjust x/y coordinates slightly in the following manner: • To match reds, decrease “Red X” until full field red screens match. • To match greens, decrease “Green Y” until full field green screens match. • To match blues, increase both “Blue X” and “Blue Y” until full field blue screens match. NOTE: For speed, enable the “Auto Color Enable” check box.
Section 3: Operation 3.12 Remote Control of the Projector As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a controller such as a PC, via a web interface. • Via ASCII Messaging: Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS-232 or RS-422 port (recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between your controller and the valid projector address.
