020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
2 Basic Operation
2.1 Safety Warnings and Guidelines
This projector is designed for safe and reliable operation. However safe operation is not assured by
design alone; installers, service technicians, trained operators and all other users must maintain a safe
environment at all times. Please read through and understand all warnings and precautions before
attempting to operate the projector.

2.1.1 General Precautions


Be aware of the following general precautions in all CP2000-SB installations:

1) Never look directly into the projector lens or at the lamp.


The extremely high brightness can cause permanent eye damage. 2) For pro-
tection from ultraviolet radiation, keep all projector housings intact during
operation. Protective clothing and safety goggles are recommended.

1) FIRE HAZARD. Keep hands, clothes, and all combustible


material away from the concentrated light beam of the lamp. 2) Position all
cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be pulled or tripped over.

NOTES: 1) The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends


occupational UV exposure for an 8-hour day to be less than 0.1 microwatts per square centimeters of
effective UV radiation. An evaluation of your workplace is advised to assure employees are not
exposed to cumulative radiation levels exceeding the government guidelines for your area. 2) Be
aware that some medications are known to increase one's sensitivity to UV radiation.
This projector must be installed on the floor only, and operated in an environment which meets the
operating range specifications. Refer to the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx) for details.

2.1.2 AC/Power Precautions


Installation of this projector requires that an electrician hard-wire a 3-phase (Y) feed and a separate
15A single-phase feed from the pedestal toe to the AC supply in your building. You must also use only
the correct pedestal for your geographic area as stated in Section 1.1.4 Power and Lamp Requirements.
Operate the projector at the specified voltage. Warning! Do not attempt operation if the AC supply
and pedestal are not within the specified voltage range.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Locate the projector where the cord cannot be abused
by persons walking on it or objects rolling over it. Never operate the projector if the power cable
appears damaged in any way. Do not overload power outlets and extension cords as this can result in
fire or shock hazards.
NOTE: Only qualified service technicians are permitted to open any enclosure on the product, and
only if AC has been fully disconnected at BOTH wall breakers. Warning! SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect from AC before opening any enclosure. Disconnect at BOTH wall breakers.

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 2-1


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic Operation

2.1.3 Lamp Precautions


Any Xenon arc lamp used in the CP2000-SB is under high pressure and must be handled with great care at all
times. Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled.

Wear Protective Clothing


Never open the lamp door unless you are wearing authorized protective clothing such as that included in a
Christie Protective Clothing Safety Kit (598900-095). Recommended protective clothing includes-but may not
be limited to-protective gloves, latex lab gloves, double-layer 0.040" acetate face shield, and a quilted ballistic
nylon jacket or a welder's jacket. NOTES: 1) Christie's protective clothing recommendations are subject to
change. 2) Any local or federal specifications take precedence over Christie recommendations.

Cool the Lamp Completely

1) Never attempt to access the lamp while the lamp is ON. Wait at
least 10 min. after lamp shut-off before powering down, disconnecting from AC and
opening the lamp door. 2) SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect from AC at BOTH wall
breakers before opening the lamphouse.

The arc lamp operates at a very high pressure that increases with temperature. Failure to allow the lamp to
sufficiently cool prior to handling increases the potential for an explosion causing personal injury and/or
property damage. After turning the lamp off, it is crucial that you wait at least 10 minutes before turning off
the rest of the projector breakers, disconnecting AC and opening the lamp door. This provides enough time for
the internal lamp cooling fans to properly cool the lamp. Cool completely before handling. Again, always wear
protective clothing! For all other precautions critical for safe removal and replacement of the lamp, refer to
Section 4.1 Maintenance and Cleaning.

2.2 Maintaining Proper Cooling


The CP2000-SB high-intensity lamp and electronics rely on a variety of cooling components to reduce internal
operating temperatures. Regular checking and maintenance of the entire cooling system is critical to prevent
overheating and sudden projector failure, and helps to ensure reliable operation of all projector components
over time.

2.2.1 Ventilation
Vents and louvers in the projector covers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust. Never
block or cover these openings. Do not install the projector near a radiator or heat register, or within
an enclosure.

2.2.2 Air Filter


It is recommended that you replace the air filter (located near the lens corner of the projection head) whenever
you replace the lamp-or sooner, in dusty or dirty environments. A clogged filter reduces air flow, and can lead
to overheating and failure of the projector. Check monthly. Refer to Section 4.3 Filter Replacement for
instructions. It is also recommended that you visually check the laminar airflow device (LAD) just beyond the
filter opening. The LAD should be nearly white or light gray in color.

2-2 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic Operation

2.2.3 Liquid Cooler


The liquid cooler system circulates liquid to and from the DMDs in the CP2000-SB projection head, reducing
their operating temperature to an acceptable level. Periodically check the coolant level visible through the
gauge/window on the non-operator's side of the pedestal, and make sure that it remains between the two
notches (preferably closer to the top notch).
If the liquid cooling system should fail, it will trigger an over-temperature alarm window.
FILLING THE COOLER
The cooler should require filling only upon projector installation (refer to Section 3.1 Assembly and
Connection of Components). Fill with Christie approved coolant Jeffcool E105 provided in the liquid coolant
fill service kit (P/N 003-001837-02). Danger! HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE - The coolant used in this product
contains ethylene glycol. Use caution when handling. Do not ingest. Top up as necessary, watching the gauge
closely. Important! Whenever coolant has been added or replaced, check for a possible airlock upon the next
projector power-up. Refer back to Figure 3-33 Check Hose for Airlock Problem, on page 3-20. NOTE:
Refer to the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx) for all cooler operating details.

2.2.4 Exhaust Duct & Lamp Fan Interlocks


Check/maintain both vane switches-one in the exhaust duct and one near the lamp fan-at least every 6 months.
Check operation as follows:
1. Turn projector ON (lamp is not needed).
2. Turn extractor fan OFF.
3. Confirm that the TPC displays an alarm window indicating that the extractor fan vane switch has failed.
Turn fan back on to correct.
4. Block air intake at rear corner of projector head on the operator's side.
5. Confirm that the TPC displays an alarm window indicating that the lamp fan vane switch has failed. Clear
air intake to correct.
Maintain vane switches as described in Section 2.2 Maintaining Proper Cooling.
NOTE: If the exhaust duct becomes significantly blocked-or if a fan fails-the projector's airflow sensor should
trigger a shutdown before the projector becomes overheated or unsafe. Regardless, check the airflow
periodically.

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 2-3


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic Operation

2.3 Powering Up the Projector

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and pedestal are not within the
specified voltage range.

NOTE: This is a manual power-up procedure. Some cinema installations may include an automation system
that controls lamp ignition in conjunction with other theatre variables such as house lights, audio, and the start
of the feature from a digital media storage device/server.
1. Ensure that the breakers at the main wall panel for the CP are
switched ON.
2. At the operator's side of the pedestal, set all CP2000-SB
circuit breakers to ON-these are main AC (3-phase), the
projection head (2-phase), and terminal block (single-phase).
The MAIN AC light will be green if AC is present,
components such as fans and power supplies will start up,
and the TPC will begin initializing.
3. When the TPC has initialized (approx. 15-30 seconds,
indicated by a green circle in the left corner), press the lamp
button on the TPC Main menu to ignite the lamp.

IF THE LAMP DOES NOT IGNITE:


• If a safety interlock switch is open (such as when the lamp door Figure 2-1 Power-Up Procedure
is ajar), the lamp cannot be struck-the TPC lamp button will be
disabled until the interlock problem is resolved. An alarm window will also appear on the TPC.
• If the lamp fails to ignite even though the interlock system is OK, the projector will automatically re-try igni-
tion using 100% of the maximum power acceptable for the installed lamp. If this re-try also fails, a new lamp
is likely needed.
NOTE: For complete power-up troubleshooting, refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting.

2.4 Powering Down the Projector


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.

Section 2: Basic Operation

2.5 Introduction to the Touch Panel Controller (TPC)


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. Installers must pre-program it appropriately for use at the specific
site.

2.5.1 User Access and Rights


Whether or not you can access specific TPC menus and functions depends on how you have logged on to the
TPC. See Figure 2-3.

General Users
For the general user having no username or password, the Touch Panel Controller (TPC) offers three menus
providing:
• On/off toggling of the lamp, shutter, auxiliary lens position, user test patterns, and pre-configured displays.
• Basic status and/or diagnostic information about projector components.
• Versions of software components currently installed.

Figure 2-3 TPC User Access Rights

A simple design with familiar menu icons enables a novice user to display an accurate and fully optimized
image by pressing a single button on the touch-screen-and precisely configured presentations are protected
from accidental or unauthorized change.

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 2-5


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic Operation

Trained Operators, Advanced Users, Administrators and Installer


In addition to the basic user rights shown in the Any User above, the TPC offers four distinct password-
protected levels of use (shown in shaded areas in Figure 2-3). Each has all of the rights of lower levels, plus
additional rights as described below:
• Trained Operators can access the New Lamp function required when replacing the lamp.
• Advanced users can access two additional menus (Custom and Advanced) where they can define all display
setups and set the DVI processing path, configure 3D displays, optimize light output, record lamp changes,
activate test patterns and set certain system preferences.
• Administrators can also use five Admin submenus-Source, Screen, Gamut, IP Config, and GPIO-to
define setup files as selectable choices for processing a variety of incoming signals. Source files set incom-
ing resolution, offset (rare) and desired final aspect ratio, Screen files determine image cropping (masking),
size of display area, and type of lens, and color Gamut information ensures color display standards are prop-
erly met in the current environment. In the IP Config menu, the administrator can define new Ethernet set-
tings (IP network addresses) for the projection head and TPC. In the GPIO menu, the administrator can
select pre-defined GPI or GPO macros.
• Installers and other Service Personnel can access two additional configuration menus (General, and
Lamp) as well as three more Status submenus (Server, Diag and Interrogator). The installer can define
system operating parameters such as which projector is controlled by the TPC, and critical lamp parameters
such as installed lamp type, fan speed and light level at the screen. Installers can also establish temperature
scale preference, remote access rights, test pattern access rights, extent of data logging. An installer can see
ID and error information for servers, as well as a detailed diagnostics log for in-depth troubleshooting.

2.5.2 TPC Power-up Defaults


When the CP2000-SB powers up (refer to Section 2.3 Powering Up the Projector), the Touch Panel Controller
will begin the steps of Initializing…, Attempting to log on…, and Updating status,
displaying its progress on the TPC status bar at the bottom of the screen. When initializing is complete, all files
are refreshed on the TPC and the system is in a ready-to-use default operating mode:
•The Main menu appears on the Touch Panel Controller, where you can press the lamp button to turn on the
lamp.
•The most recently used display button is depressed (darkened). Upon turning on the lamp, the image will
appear.

2.5.3 Failed TPC Connection


If the TPC fails to initialize and instead displays a communication error such as No connection or
Cannot locate Ethernet port or Waiting to Connect, there is likely a bad connection or
address between the TPC and the rest of the projector. Check that TPC cabling is intact, and try again. Review
Section 5 Troubleshooting and, if the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

2.5.4 TPC Alarm Window

Identifies the
new alarm
condition.

Blinking Red = New


Alarm Condition.

Select to “shunt” (disable) this alarm


• Condition will persist until rectified, but will not trigger another alarm window.
• Acknowledgements are discarded upon on next TPC power-up - alarm window will re-appear.

Figure 2-4 Flashing Alarm Window

In addition to the status bar at the bottom of any TPC screen, a full-screen red alarm window flashes if one of
the alarm conditions shown in the left column of Table 2.1 is encountered. If a safety interlock fails, power
will no longer reach the lamp (DC output is stopped), and the lamp button on the TPC Main menu will be
disabled. NOTES: 1) A failed safety interlock automatically prevents power from going to the lamp and
disables the lamp button on the TPC Main menu. Since most interlock alarm conditions are triggered by
switches, regularly check the operation of these switch levers. 2) With interlock integrity restored, the lamp
button on the TPC Main menu is automatically re-enabled.

Can Alarm Conditions Be Ignored?


Note every alarm window indicates a new condition. In a given session, the alarm window will not reappear
for a condition that you have acknowledged (shunted) but not yet solved. However, if you cycle the projector
OFF and ON again, any persisting alarm condition will trigger the alarm window again. Although it is highly
recommended that the monitored over-temperature and fan speed conditions always be set to trigger a flashing
alarm window (default), this trigger can be turned off if desired by clearing the appropriate Alarm Triggers
checkbox in the Advanced menu. Once cleared, such conditions will only trigger the yellow or red Status
warning button rather than a flashing alarm window. This can be helpful in rare cases where the alarm window
is erroneously/repeatedly triggered with no detectable error condition. Disabling alarm triggers is not
recommended for normal operation. Failed interlocks, an SSM communication fault, I2C fault, and lamp
failures always produce an alarm window-i.e., these alarm triggers cannot be disabled or hidden.

2.6 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.

2.6.1 3D Description
In simple terms, images generated from a 3D-cinema source consist of a series of images (frames or fields) that
alternate quickly between two slightly different viewpoints corresponding to the physical separation of our left
and right eyes (called parallax). When these frames are displayed with enough speed and viewed with special
glasses synchronized with the left/right (L/R) frame sequencing, the resulting “single” perceived image
appears with much the same depth and perspective we sense in the real world. The new full resolution triple
flash hardware (Brilliant3D) includes an FPGA Formatter Interface Board (FFIB) which allows for full 2K
resolution using a 6:2 frame rate multiplication (Triple Flash). Triple Flash 3D is reference to a frame rate that
is of a high enough frequency to eliminate flicker as noticeable by the eye. The standard frame rate for most
2D D-Cinema content is 24 frames per second (FPS) as it is for film. For 3D, the server splits the 3D content
(video signal) into 2 interleaved signals of 24 FPS each by the server, for a total of 48 FPS input into the
projector. The projector’s frame rate multiplication is set to 6:2, meaning the input frame rate is multiplied by 3
(Triple) for a total frame rate of 144 frames per second (Hz or FPS). For the Brilliant3D hardware, the TI DLP
version 13.1 or higher is required.

2.6.2 What Do I Need for 3D?


The CP2000-SB requires a 3D-capable SMPTE source and a few special hardware/software setups described
here. Essentially you will connect two signals (one left eye, one right eye) to the projector, then use the TPC's
Custom: 3D Control menu options to define and control the signal processing, synchronizing and output for
devices used in your stereographic 3D display. These settings ensures critical ordering and timing of the
incoming L/R frames so that they merge correctly into a convincing artifact-free 3D display without cross-talk,
ghosting or other artifacts.
System Requirements
• CP2000-SB projector. Includes all standard 3D components:
• FFIB (FPGA Formatter Interface Board):
• TPC software v2.7.020 or higher
• Main projector software v13.0.44 or higher
• Two HD-SDI cinema signals (left and right) connected to the projector's SMPTE ports A and B.
NOTE: Use of a single input consisting of both left and right data is not currently supported.
• Sync Output Device:

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 2-9


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic Operation

• IR emitter for controlling the L/R gating (switching) of active glasses


OR
• Pi-Cell polarizer for controlling a screen that has a silver polarization-preserving surface for use with
passive glasses
• Custom 3D Sync Output Cable (GPIO) such as available from RealD:
• For routing the projector's output sync to your Sync Output Device-connect from the projector's GPIO.
NOTE: Accessed from within the pedestal-refer to Section 3 Installation & Setup) to the emitter or polar-
izer.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix D: GPIO from the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx) for GPIO pinouts
and other 3D sync cable details.
• 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 inter-
nal test pattern shown in Figure 2-5.

2.6.3 Supported Hardware Setup


Figure 2-5 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.
NOTES: 1) All configurations require a custom 3D Sync Cable, such as supplied by RealD, for the GPIO port.
2) A pull-up power supply (not shown) is also required for the IR emitter or polarizing cell. 3) Refer to
Appendix D: GPIO from the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx) for cabling details.

2.6.4 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. Connect to either port; you will configure the projector
to multiply and interleave the L/R signals properly.

Web User Interface Instructions


1. Click Enable.
2. SET THE FRAME RATE:
NOTE: 6:2 is commonly used for most 3D features which are comprised of resolutions slightly less than
2048 x 1080.
Both incoming frame rates are likely too slow for flicker-free 3D viewing, and need to be increased within
the projector for at least 96 Hz output. For example, a typical HD-SDI rate of 24Hz is still only 48 Hz
when L/R are combined (see Figure 2-5). In the Custom: 3D Control menu, set the desired Frame Rate
N:M ratio-or number of frames displayed per number of frames for complete data. For example, a setting
of 6:2 creates 6 frames from 2 inputs (=144 Hz). The resulting frame rate cannot exceed the maximum
frame rate possible in the projector-with 24 Hz full-screen incoming signals, use a maximum factor of 5:2.
NOTE: Frame rate multiplication less than 6:2 may flicker at slow incoming frame rates.
3. DEFINE 3D SYNC INPUT LOCATION:
For dual inputs,
• Set L/R Input Reference option to Active
Port: A/B =L/R or vice versa. Step 3

• Set the Input GPI to None.


These two settings tell the rest of your 3D
system that incoming 3D stereo sync infor- Step 5
mation is included with the two L/R image
data inputs rather than routed separately to Step 6
the GPIO port.
For future single-input 3D sources where the
server supplies a separate 3D stereo sync to
the projector's GPIO port instead, set Input Figure 2-6 Setup for 3D
GPI according to which input number is used
(i.e., according to your GPIO cable wiring).
4. DEFINE L/R DOMINANCE:
For the Input Frame Dominance, choose the leading frame, left or right. Correct order depends on the
cameras used during filming, and is needed to ensure smooth motions. An incorrect setting creates motion
artifacts.
5. DEFINE SYNC DISPLAY LOCATION:
• Set L/R Display Reference to Not Used.
• Set Display GPI to None.

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 2-11


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 2: Basic 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. CONNECT GPIO (OUTPUT):
From the projector's GPIO port, connect your 3D stereo sync cable to your 3D controlling device such as
an emitter or polarizer. NOTE: RealD 3D sync cable recommended.
8. ADJUST DISPLAY, SCREEN, ETC.:
As desired, adjust the display, screen, image color, etc.

Section 3: Installation & Setup

3.2 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 win-
dow wall.
b. Inside the pedestal, at the rear of the top frame, turn the knob to extend the safety prop above the ped-
estal frame. This stop will then elevate the rear of the projection head until fingers are safely out of the
way. See Figure 3-1 Step 1.

Figure 3-1 Assembling Projection Head with Pedestal

c. Lift the projection head onto the pedestal, aligning the four threaded rods with the four holes in the
pedestal frame. Warning! Requires at least two people. For cable connections, maintain cable ties
that have been trimmed, and those that are not. The front of the head will sit on the front of the pedes-
tal frame and the rear will be elevated by the safety prop.
d. Retract the safety prop until the rear of the projection head sits on the rear of the pedestal frame. All
four threaded rods will be fully inserted through the holes in the top of the pedestal. Secure the safety
prop (do not leave loose).
e. Secure head-pedestal assembly with four washers/nuts tightened snugly on to the four threaded rods.
STEP 2 - Position CP2000-SB at Port Window
Roll the projector until its base is approximately 2 feet from the port window wall, 3 feet if auxiliary lens
mount will be added (optional). Center with the theatre screen () if possible (Figure 3-2, A). If forced
to be off-center (such as when a film projector is already present), try to optimize aim as shown in Figure
3-2, B. This will slightly increase side keystoning, but will minimize required horizontal lens offset.
NOTE: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as pos-
sible, even if it is significantly above the screen center.

3-2 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: Installation & Setup

Figure 3-2 Centering < > (Aerial Views)

Note that when a particularly short throw distance combines with a very wide screen, you may have to for-
feit 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 3.8 Basic Image Alignment.
STEP 3 - Extend All Feet
For permanent installations and more stable images, the
projector should be firmly on the floor rather than on its
casters. Extend (rotate) the foot located behind each
caster until the lens opening is fairly well-centered with
the port window (Figure 3-3). Lock top nut in place.
Remove caster if desired. NOTE: There is no need to
adjust leveling and/or tilt at this point—wait until all
other components are mounted/installed, and refer to
Section 3.5 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling.

Figure 3-3 Adjust Feet


STEP 4 - Install Touch Panel Controller
a. Attach the Touch Panel Controller (TPC), pre-assembled
with its ball joint base and mounting arm, to the matching
ball joint base secured at the rear of the projector (Figure 3-
4).
b. Connect to the TPC cable routed through the nearby hole in
the projector rear. The other end of this cable is pre-con-
nected to the internal Ethernet hub and the 24V power sup-
ply.
If desired, you can mount the TPC and its 24V power supply
elsewhere at the site. Route the TPC cable through either the rear
or front hole on the projector. Cap the unused hole.

020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: 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 projec-
tion 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 tem-
porary ties that are untrimmed and have tails.

a. Open both pedestal doors (Figure 3-5).


b. Open the rear side door on the operator’s side.
c. SET BALLAST AC INPUT SWITCH:
Before connecting the ballast to AC, set the bal-
last’s AC input switch to match the AC avail-
able at the site. Toggle left for nominal 200
VAC supplies and toggle right for 400 VAC
supplies. The factory default is 200 VAC.
d. BALLAST RS-232 CABLE:
Connect the ballast’s RS-232 cable 34-002075
to Panel B (9-pin), routing through the small
Figure 3-5 Open Projector for Access
rectangular access hole in the front underside of
the projection head (Figure 3-6).

Figure 3-6 Connect Ballast RS-232 and


Interlocks to Projection Head

e. BALLAST INTERLOCK CABLE:


Connect the ballast’s interlock cable 34-002007 to Panel C (9-pin), routing through the small rectangu-
lar access hole in the rear underside of the projection head (Figure 3-6). Ensure a second connector
from Panel C to Panel B is connected (P/N 001-100376-01). The remaining third connector is a non-
functional spare.

f. POWER CABLES TO HEAD:


From behind the main AC breaker panel (within the pedestal), connect both identical power cables 34-
001992 to the IEC receptacles located near Panel B (100-230 VAC) and Panel C (200-230 VAC). Con-
nect either cable to either receptacle (these cables are interchangeable) and secure with metal strain-
relief clip provided (Figure 3-7).

Figure 3-7 Connect Projector Breaker Power


Cables to Projection Head

Important! Components in the lamp compartment will require 200-230 VAC.


NOTE: If you prefer to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for supplying power to the projection
head, route the UPS power cables through the pedestal toe and connect to the IEC receptacles on Panel B
(100-230 VAC). In this case, only one power cable provided in the pedestal is used.

g. CHECK ETHERNET AND TPC POWER:


Within the pedestal, confirm that the power supplies for the Ethernet hub and TPC both connect to a
power bar wired to the terminal block TB2 from either the facility power source or the existing projec-
tor wiring (Figure 3-8). No other components or external equipment should be connected here.

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 3-9.

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 high-
voltage terminal (with braid connection). 2) Route all igniter wires AWAY from 9-pin and 15-pin con-
nectors. 3) Twist both ballast cables twice-per-foot.

3. Connect the POSITIVE (+) WHITE lamp lead to the POSITIVE (+) igniter terminal (3/4”
wrench). This terminal also has a small PCB attached—stack this on top of the lamp lead.

4. Close and lock the igniter door.

Figure 3-9 Connect Lamp Leads

IN THE LAMP COOLING COMPARTMENT:


5. With the lamp door removed (refer back to Figure 3-5), turn the small knob and swing open the
lamp cooling compartment door (Figure 3-10).

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. Important! Ball joint must move freely. If
necessary, hand tighten with 9/64” Allen key.

Figure 3-12 Connector Nut

8. With 3/16” Allen key, secure the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK lamp lead and the two igniter harnesses to
the side of the connector nut. Important! Secure lamp lead FIRST on connector, then remaining two
igniter wires on TOP.

Figure 3-13 Secure Lamp

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 3-14 is for pedestals manu-
factured before Fall 2006. The BOTTOM graphic in Figure 3-14 is for pedestals manufactured for Fall
2006 and after.

Figure 3-14 The Liquid Cooling Loop

3-8 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: Installation & Setup

a. To create this loop, connect the OUT/warm and IN/cool hoses as described below. NOTE: Hose con-
nections may not be labeled. Be sure to depress each hose connector tab before inserting the hose end,
then release to seal (Figure 3-15). This prevents damage caused by forcing the gasket end into a closed
connector. Listen for a click.
b. The long loose hose connected to the reservoir is
the OUT/warm hose from the projection head. Con-
nect to the projection head location closest to the
non-operator’s side of the projector.
c. The short loose hose connected to the heat
exchanger is the IN/cool hose. Connect to the pro-
jector head location closest to the operator’s side of
the projector.

Important! To prevent damage to the sealing gasket,


always depress the connector tab when inserting the
hose end. Avoid forcing together and listen for click.
Figure 3-15 Connecting the Hoses

STEP 7 - Fill the Reservoir Completely (Initial Filling for Hosts Only)
After connecting the hoses, fill the cooler reservoir completely with
Christie approved coolant Jeffcool E105 provided in the liquid coolant
fill service kit (P/N 003-001837-02). Danger! HAZARDOUS SUB-
STANCE - The coolant used in this product contains ethylene glycol.
Use caution when handling. Do not ingest. Virtually all of this first sup-
ply of liquid will be drained into the hoses upon initial power-up, at
which point the reservoir must be re-filled to the correct level at the
gauge window. Refer to Section 3.6 Initial Power-up.

STEP 8 - Check Lead Dressing & Hoses


a. At this point, integral pedestal-to-head cabling and hose connection
should be complete. Check all lead dressing and secure as neatly as
possible to prevent extra cable lengths from dangling or touching
other components. Provide proper strain relief as necessary. Ensure Figure 3-16 Fill Reservoir
hoses are free of kinks and sharp turns.
b. Connect sources and communication links at any time. Refer to Section 3.3 Installing and Connecting
Sources and Section 3.4 Connecting for Communications.

Section 3: Installation & Setup

3.2.1 Exhaust Duct


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 CP2000-
SB are clear and exposed, and 3) the vane switch at the exit duct is moving freely.
The pre-installed outside-venting duct should be rigid for a 10” length at the
projector and must also include a heat extractor/blower that maintains at least 450
to 600 CFM when measured at the projector exhaust opening, depending on the
lamp. See Table 3.1.

Table 3.1 Airflow Requirements


Minimum Exhaust Airflow
Lamp (kW)
Rate
Figure 3-17 Attach
2 or 3 450 ft3/min. Exhaust Ducting
4.5 or 6 600 ft3/min.

CALCULATE CFM IN 8” DUCT:


Use an air flow meter to measure the ft/min or ft/sec at the rigid end of the duct that will connect to the
projector (measure right at the end). Then multiply the reading by the cross-sectional area of the 8” duct to
calculate the cubic feet/min airflow. The formula is: Measured linear ft/min x 0.34 = CFM.

Depending on the lamp, calculations should show 450 or 600 CFM airflow (see
Table 3.1) in the 8” exhaust duct. Add extractors/boosters as needed for your site, as
the vane switch (see right) will prevent the projector from operating if the airflow is
inadequate. Do not mount extractor on the projector.

NOTE: If the duct becomes significantly blocked—or if a fan fails—the projector


should trigger an alarm before becoming overheated or unsafe. Regardless, check
airflow regularly as described in Section 3. Secure with lens locking lever (down Figure 3-18 Vane
position).. Switch

Never disable a vane switch. Attempting to operate the projector with inade-
quate airflow can result in dangerous overheating of the projector.

3.2.2 Install Lens(es)

Primary Zoom Lens Installation


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. NOTE: The lens seals the projector head,
preventing contaminants from entering the area of main electronics. Never attempt to operate the projector
without a lens installed.
3. Calibrate the lens. See Section 3.8 Basic Image Alignment for details.

Anamorphic Lens or 1.26x Wide Converter Installation (Optional)


NOTE: Required only for 1.25x anamorphic lens or 1.26x wide converter lens producing 2.39:1 scope images.
If the anamorphic or wide converter lens will be used, it is recommended that you now add the lens—and its
motorized mount—so that the additional weight will be present when correcting later for final leveling and
boresight adjustments. Install only for those installations requiring full-size 2.39:1 scope images (mostly side-
masking screens).
1. INSTALL THE AUXILIARY LENS MOUNT ON THE PROJECTOR
At the front of the projector, install the motorized auxiliary lens mount hardware as described in the
instructions provided with the auxiliary lens mount kit.
2. INSTALL THE AUXILIARY LENS
Clamp the anamorphic or wide converter lens mount in place, following the instructions provided with the
lens mount kit. For details, refer to Section 3.9.5 Add Auxiliary Lens.

3.2.4 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. 2) Installation of the pedestal’s conduit panel is MANDATORY
to avoid risk of electric shock causing bodily harm or even DEATH.

1. From the AC power source, route the 3-phase wires, single-phase and ground wires into one of the knock-
out holes located on the pedestal’s conduit panel. Use appropriately sized strain relief connectors with the
conduit panel. This will ensure adequate environmental sealing and prevent cables from wear and being
accidentally torn out. Warning! Use of the conduit panel is mandatory to prevent electric shock.
2. Connect the incoming AC ground lead directly to the frame ground stud on the floor of the pedestal
(Figure 3-20). Secure with both washers and nut provided, and ensure there are no other wires present at
this stud. Warning! Connect ground FIRST to reduce shock hazard from high leakage.

Figure 3-20 Connect Incoming Ground Wire

3. Refer to the Terminal Block 1 (TB1) Connections diagram provided on the inside of the pedestal door
(operator’s side). As described for your model and site, connect all available wires to the large terminal
block (TB1) located in the operator’s side of the pedestal.
NOTES: 1) The Terminal Block 1 (TB1) described below accommodates up to 6 AWG wire. 2) For proper
torque, a flat screwdriver with 4-6mm blade is recommended. 3) Ensure to refer to the Terminal Block 1
(TB1) Connections diagram located in the pedestal.

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). If you find
your incoming AC is below 207 VAC, connect
terminal 2 jumper to T1 instead.
•If AC between terminals 2 and 3 is 207-
265, connect terminal 2 to T2 (factory
default).
• If AC between terminals 2 and 3 is 180-
207, connect terminal 2 to T1.
See Figure 3-21.
BALLAST 115 VAC TAPS:
Ensure your nominal line between the terminals
labeled 115V and COMMON (or 0V) is within
10% of 115 VAC. See Figure 3-22. Figure 3-21 Check Voltage and Position Jumper
• If your measurement at the 115V terminal
is 126.5V or more, move the 115V wires to the tap labeled –10%.
• If your measurement at the 115V terminal is 103.5V or less, move the 115V wires to the tap labeled

3.3 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. They are typically connected as part
of projector installation. Once made, these connections are inaccessible from the outside of a locked projector
and can be considered secure and permanent. Changing or adding a source connection requires access via the
locked CP pedestal. NOTE: To maintain radiated emissions compliance, do not connect I/0 cables to the
projector without connecting the source or receiver at the other end.
IF EXTERNAL
Source/server cabling routes through the pedestal toe and up to the underside of the projection head. Limit
cable length to 300 feet or less. Connect power externally or within the projector. See Figure 3-23 and Figure
3-24 (shown are models with internal outlet for North America, etc.). NOTE: The DVI ports shown in Figure
3-24 are single-link ports for single-link cable/connectors only. Connect two independent sources, or connect
the Cine-IPM 2K to both ports for 10-bit processing. Using this pair of ports as a dual-link pair requires a
special adapter (not available).

020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: 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 3-25 and Figure 3-26. 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.
Do not modify any CP wiring or lead dress during installation and ensure the added device does not interfere
with normal CP operation.
Power normally is hard-wired to the TB2 terminal block. NOTE: Internal power connection is not possible if
incoming AC feed is 4-wire 3-phase only, as the TB2 terminal has no power in this case.

Section 3: Installation & Setup

3.3.1 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.

3.3.2 Security for Internal Servers/Source


Upon installation of a rack-mount server or source within the pedestal, ensure to re-install the pair of vertical
rack protector posts at the rear. They will overlap the sides of your rack-mount equipment and help prevent
access to the pedestal interior and theft of rack-mounted equipment.
NOTE: Keep on hand any extra CP rear covers (horizontal plates) removed for rack-mounted equipment.
These covers must be re-installed if the equipment is removed from the projector in the future. Do not operate
the CP with open slots at the rear.

3.4 Connecting for Communications


Many communications with the projector are initiated on the Touch Panel Controller (TPC) mounted at the
rear of the projector. Depending on the installation, you may also need certain other serial and/or Ethernet links
to the CP2000-SB, such as from a server or PC functioning as a controller, or from an existing on-site network
including other equipment. Connections are typically done at time of installation, and then the projector is
locked and protected from unauthorized changes. In rare cases, serial and/or Ethernet links are needed only by
the installer and are disconnected afterwards.
Connect up to a total of five Ethernet links to the 5-port hub within the pedestal, which in turn connects to the
Communication and Source Connection Panel at the underside of the projection head. For serial communica-
tions, always connect to the RS-232 A port on this panel (RS-232 B uses Christie-proprietary protocol
intended for Christie accessories only).

Figure 3-27 Communication Links with Projector

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 3-17


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: 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. This communication link is acceptable for using a PC/laptop to run Christie’s
DCP Librarian or to download new software, but is too slow for server communications and does not support
ASCII messaging to the TPC (which requires Ethernet). Connect RS-232 as shown in Figure 3-27, and route
as shown in Figure 3-23, Figure 3-24, Figure 3-25, and Figure 3-26. NOTE: For serial communication using
a PC, laptop or server, use only the RS-232 A port. The RS-232 B port utilizes Christie-proprietary protocol
intended for Christie accessories only. Warning! The RS-232 B port is compatible with Christie accessories
only.

3.5 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling


NOTE: Disconnect from AC for these initial alignments. Images are not yet needed.
In an ideal installation, the CP2000-SB lens surface is
centered with and parallel to the screen. This
orientation helps to ensure optimized lens
performance with minimal offset (Figure 3-28). If this
position is not possible (such as when the projector is
significantly higher than the center of the screen), it is
better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.

Before adjusting tilt, ensure the projector is as


WELL-CENTERED () with the theatre screen as
possible for your installation area (refer back to Figure 3-28 Tilt Projector to Match Screen
Figure 3-2).
Check with theatre personnel for the degree of screen
tilt or measure this incline with a protractor at the
screen. Then TILT the projector to closely match this
screen tilt angle (Figure 3-29), following the
instructions below:

1. Disconnect the projector from AC power.


2. Use a wrench to rotate front and rear feet until
projector tilt matches screen tilt. You can achieve
up to 12° tilt by adjusting the feet.
Figure 3-29 Adjust 4 Feet for Tilt and Leveling

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.

3-18 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: Installation & Setup

3. Remove the rear bottom panel (2 top screws, 2 bottom tabs) from the CP pedestal (Figure 3-30).

Figure 3-30 Open Rear of Pedestal

4. Use a low-profile scissor jack to elevate the rear of the projector.


5. On each side of the rear opening in the pedestal, loosen the 2 bolts securing the rear extender legs to the
projector (Figure 3-31).

Figure 3-31 Adjust Rear Extender Legs

6. Slide the legs out to the desired position and secure with two bolts.
7. Remove the jack.
8. If necessary, re-adjust all leveling feet for side-to-side leveling (Figure 3-29). Note that you may have to
adjust level more precisely once an image is present.

3.6 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
3.6 Initial Power-up. 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. Using Christie approved coolant Jeffcool E105 provided in
the liquid coolant fill service kit (P/N 003-001837-02), re-fill the
reservoir until the level is close to but not above the top mark on the
gauge located on the outside of the pedestal door (Figure 3-32). If
you over-fill, remove the reservoir from the pedestal and pour out
excess. Figure 3-32 Re-fill and Check Level

STEP 3 - Power Down and Up Again


Turn all projector breakers OFF, then ON again to clear air from lines.

STEP 4 - Check for Airlock in Cooling System


After topping up the coolant reservoir, ensure the hose
between the reservoir to the pump is completely full upon
the next power-up (Figure 3-33). NOTE: If the hose is not
full, this signifies the presence of an airlock that can
interfere with proper circulation of the liquid throughout
the projector. Turn the projector OFF then ON once again.
The hose should now be completely filled.

Figure 3-33 Check Hose for Airlock Problem


STEP 5 - Check Fans and Interlocks
Check that fans are running and interlocks are OK.

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 . The lamp should ignite.

3.7 Maximizing Light Output


Upon powering up the projector with a newly-installed/replaced lamp, activate LampLOC to automatically
adjusts the lamp position to help ensure optimized operation as well as peak brightness at the screen. You do
not need an image displayed yet. Once you have done this LampLOC adjustment, the lamp will be well-
centered and distanced correctly from the remainder of the illumination system.
At the TPC, automatically optimize lamp position by pressing the Do Auto button in the Advanced: Lamp
menu. Watch the gauge on this menu. After 2-3 minutes, the best lamp position will be established (using an
internal light sensor) and the Do Auto button will no longer be disabled. At this point, light output is
optimized.

Optimize lamp position


and light output.

Figure 3-34 Align the Lamp


NOTE: Lamp must be on and douser (shutter) open during LampLOC™ adjustment. However, the projector
does not need to be displaying an image.
DETERMINING SCREEN BRIGHTNESS (FL)
In order for the TPC to display screen brightness in footlamberts (fL), you must measure screen brightness at
both extremes of lamp power (minimum and maximum) for a given lamp type, and record these two readings
in the TPC Admin: Lamp menu available to installers. These measurements establish a range (stored in
memory) from which the TPC can interpolate all other lamp power settings, converting them to approximate
footlamberts for display in the menus. Repeat the calibration if you ever switch to a different lamp type/size.
NOTE: For more information about menus and footlamberts, refer to Section 2 Basic Operation.

Section 3: Installation & Setup

3.8 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. 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. Using the knobs on the lens mount to adjust the position does not save
the settings to the channel. They are designed for temporary use and will therefore be lost once the channel
changes. Ensure the CP2000-SB is properly positioned relative to the screen before you begin. Refer to
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-28.

3.8.1 Basic Optical Alignment Procedure


1. Display a good test pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as a single crosshair
centered across the image.
2. COARSE FOCUS: Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens
only. Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus.
3. CENTER THE IMAGE IN THE LENS: Holding a piece of paper at the lens surface, adjust offsets as necessary
until the image is centered within the lens perimeter. A full white field works best for this.

Figure 3-35 Level the Top Edge

4. RE-CHECK SIDE-TO-SIDE LEVELING: With a good test pattern on screen, double-check projector leveling
(refer to Figure 3-4) so that the top edge of the image is parallel to the top edge of the screen. Refer to
Figure 3-35.

3.9.1 Adjust Offset


PProject an image with the primary lens only. Always
adjust offset before boresight. Important! Ensure the
correct lens is selected in the Advanced: Lens menu before
calibration to ensure you will remain within the applicable
boundary of the installed lens. NOTE: When adjusting the
Focus, Offset, and Zoom, you may experience a slight
delay in the response rate of the lens upon selecting the
buttons.
1. Ensure Auto ILS is selected from the Main: Lens
menu. NOTE: Enabling Auto ILS will over-write the
pre-defined settings for this channel. To perform a
temporary lens adjustment, uncheck Auto ILS and
adjust the lens by clicking the necessary buttons or
manually adjusting the focus, offset, and/or zoom Figure 3-37 Intelligent Lens System
knobs. All temporary adjustments will be lost when
Auto ILS is selected again or if the channel changes.
2. Using an framing test pattern (Framing.tga is recommended), adjust the Offset by clicking the up/down/
left/right buttons on the Main: Lens menu (Figure 3-37) as necessary to display a square image on the
screen. NOTES: 1) You can also hold the buttons down for continuous movement. 2) For best optical
performance, make sure to minimize keystone error by using offset more than aiming to center the image in
off axis installations. 3) For best results, avoid extreme tilts or offsets. Corner vignettes on a white test
pattern indicates extreme offset that should be avoided using mechanical alignment.

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 3-23


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: Installation & Setup

The maximum vertical offset is shown in Figure 3-38 (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 3-38 Vertical Offset Range

3.9.2 Adjust Left/Right Boresight


The goal for left/right boresight alignment is to adjust the lens mount until both sides of the image focus on the
screen simultaneously. Projectors are aligned properly at the factory, but due to mechanical tolerances in the
alignment between the projector and the screen, the left and right sides of the image come into focus at
different times. By focusing on the left side of the screen, we need to determine if the right side of the image
focuses in front or behind the screen relative to the left side. NOTE: Use a test pattern with a single pixel
vertical and horizontal line and perimeter frame such as DC2K Framing or RGB Alignment.
1. The Horizontal Hold Screw acts as counter-resistance to hold the lens mount in place once set. Before
adjusting the boresight, loosen the Horizontal Hold Screw. See Figure 3-39.

4. Continue retracting the lens.


a. If the right side of the image comes into focus before the lens is completely retracted, then the image
focuses in front of the screen. See Figure 3-41. To correct this problem, adjust the Horizontal Bore-
sight bolt to direct or aim the lens mount towards the LEFT to balance out the left/right edges. See
Figure 3-39.
b. If the right side of the image fails to come into focus then the image focuses behind the screen. To cor-
rect this problem, direct the lens mount towards the RIGHT by adjusting the Horizontal Boresight
accordingly.

When the horizontal boresight is complete, focus the image at the top edge
of the screen.
1. Loosen the Vertical Hold Screw. See Figure 3-42.
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. If the entire screen
come into focus, skip to step 8.

3.9.5 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. Refer to the Motorized
Auxiliary Lens Mount Instruction Sheet (020-100036-xx) for details on mounting the anamorphic and wide
converter lenses.

Anamorphic (1.25x)
1. FOCUS PRIMARY LENS: With the auxiliary lens in place, re-focus the primary lens using focus knob.
The goal is good focus at center and on all sides.
2. FOCUS ANAMORPHIC LENS: If horizontal focus in the image needs improvement, focus the auxiliary
lens too—rotate its barrel as needed.
3. RECORD SERIAL NUMBER: Enter the serial number of your anamorphic lens in Advanced: Lens
menu.

Wide Converter Lens (1.26x)


NOTE: Use a gauge block (or measuring device) to establish basic alignment of the wide converter lens to the
primary lens.

Use the Wide Converter lens with the following High Brightness or High Con-
trast Zoom lenses only: 1.45-1.8:1, 1.8-2.4:1, 2.2-3.0:1 or 3.0-4.3:1.

1. FOCUS PRIMARY LENS: With the auxiliary lens in place, re-focus the primary lens using focus knob.
The goal is good focus at center and on all sides.

3.10 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.

Fold Mirror Adjustment


If a corner or edge of the image is missing, this may
indicate that the fold mirror has become misaligned
with the rest of the optical system, resulting in
cropping of data. Correct as described below:

Remove the fold mirror access plate from the


underside of the projection head—this plate is located
just below the lens. Two access holes will be revealed,
through which you can adjust two fold mirror screws:

• To raise or lower the image - adjust the screw clos-


est to the operator’s side.
Figure 3-45 Fold Mirror Adjustment
• To move the image left or right - adjust the screw
furthest from the operator’s side.

DMD Convergence
A convergence problem is evident when one or more projected colors (red/green/blue) appears misaligned
when examined with a proper convergence test pattern—where normally the 3 colors should overlap precisely
to form pure white lines throughout the image, one or more poorly converged individual colors may appear
adjacent to some or all of the lines. Qualified service technicians can correct as described on the color label
provided inside the projection head.

3.11 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.
DCP Librarian is a comprehensive Windows-based software application used for calibrating image color
performance and defining electronic screen masking required in your particular installation, and for creating
individual Projector Configuration Files (PCFs) and specific source files necessary for proper display of
incoming material. DCP Librarian also defines the system/network configuration for communication links to
the projector, transmitting information to and from the CP2000 via an Ethernet or RS-232 connection. Chief
functions, many of which can be done at the TPC, are introduced below.

3-28 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 3: Installation & Setup

Color Calibration
After the CP2000 is installed and all components are mechanically aligned for optimized light output and
geometry at the screen, its electronic system processing must be calibrated to ensure accurate color display in
the new environment. In this one-time global calibration, the installer measures initial colors at the screen and
enters this data—called Measured Color Gamut Data—into Windows-based DCP Librarian software
installed on a laptop. The software then calculates precise corrections needed for regaining the desired color
performance—called Target Color Gamut Data—and essentially compensates for the type of port window (if
present), screen, lens, light output, ambient light and other current environmental factors that affect color
performance. Results are defined in a file, activated, and downloaded to projector memory to be used as a basis
for all future displays.
If there are changes to the environment in the future (for example, a new screen is installed), the CP2000
should be re-calibrated. Also note that correction for proper color balance sometimes reduces overall light
output. NOTE: Most gamut functions are also now available in the TPC Gamut menu (password required).
Multiple MCGD files can be saved for use in different situations, such as when an auxiliary lens is swapped on
and off the projector.

Electronic Screen Masking


DCP Librarian also provides a powerful masking tool for precision cropping of the image to correct for
geometry problems such as a keystoned image. The effect is similar to aperture plate filing typically done for
correcting images from film projectors. As in the calibration of color, screen masking adjustments are
global—that is, you can create a variety masks and download them to projector memory for use with sources
as desired. Mask settings are distinct from aspect ratio or screen position settings. NOTE: Most screen
functions are also now available in the TPC Screen menu (password required).

PCFs (Rare)
Numerous settings collected into a single Projector Configuration File further control processing variables for
optimized display of specific source material. Each PCF file, typically created in DCP Librarian, pre-defines
color space, target color gamut, source aspect ratio (resolution), and gamma (a.k.a. degamma) settings for a
cinema or non-cinema source. Once the collected settings are downloaded to the projector’s internal memory,
their PCF can be assigned to the corresponding CP2000 input connection and quickly applied via a controller
such as Christie’s Touch Panel Controller. No further adjustment in processing should be required.
Refer to the DCP Librarian User’s Manual for all DCP Librarian Setup Software operating details and
procedures.

020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
4 Maintenance
4.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
To help ensure optimized performance and reliability, regularly check electrical, optical and other
components as described below. Warning! SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect from AC at BOTH wall
breakers.

4.1.1 Electrical
Do the following every 60 days or 500 hours (always disconnecting from AC first):
• Check the contact surfaces of positive (anode) and cathode (negative) connections for cleanliness.
• Clean electrical contact surfaces as necessary to prevent contact resistance from scorching connec-
tors.
• Verify that all electrical and lamp connections are tight.

4.1.2 Optical
Unnecessary cleaning of optics can be more harmful than helpful, increasing the risk of degrading
delicate coatings and surfaces. In this projector, check only the lens and lamp reflector-maintenance of
other optical components requires a qualified service technician. Check these components periodically
in a clean, dust-free environment using a high-intensity light source or flashlight. Clean them only
when dust, dirt, oil or other marks are obvious. Never touch an optical surface with your bare hand-
always wear latex lab gloves.

When to Check
LENS:
A small amount of dust or dirt on the lens has minimal effect on image quality-to avoid the risk of
scratching the lens, clean the lens only if absolutely required. See below.
LAMP REFLECTOR:
Inspect the mirror surface (reflector) for cleanliness only during a lamp replacement, when the lamp is
out. If necessary, clean as described below-ensure to wear protective clothing while inspecting or
cleaning. Note that color on the reflector surface may vary-this is normal.

Supplies
For cleaning off dust and/or grease, you will need:
• Soft camel-hair brush
• Dust-free blower-filtered dry nitrogen blown through an anti-static nozzle.
• Dust-free lens tissue such as Melles Griot Kodak tissues (18LAB020), Optowipes (18LAB022) or
Kim Wipes or equivalent

CP2000-SB Setup Guide 4-1


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 4: Maintenance

• Lens cleaning solution such as Melles Griot Optics Cleaning Fluid 18LAB011 or equivalent. For lens only.
• Methanol. For reflector only.
• Cotton swabs with wooden stems only
• Lens cleaning cloth/microfibre such as Melles Griot 18LAB024 or equivalent.

Cleaning the Lens


IF DUSTY:
1. Brush most of the dust off with a camel-hair brush and/or blow dust away with compressed air.
2. Fold a microfibre cloth smooth and gently wipe remaining dust particles off the lens. Make sure to wipe
evenly with the smooth portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure with your
fingers-use the tension in the folded cloth itself to collect the dust.
3. If significant dust is still bound to the surface, dampen a clean microfibre cloth with lens cleaning solution
(damp, not dripping). Wipe gently until clean.
IF FINGERPRINTS, SMUDGES, OIL:
1. Brush most of the dust off with a camel-hair brush and/or blow dust away with compressed air.
2. Roll a lens tissue around a swab and soak in lens cleaning solution. Tissue should be damp but not
dripping.
3. Gently wipe the surface using a figure-8 motion. Repeat until blemish is removed.

Cleaning the Reflector


IF DUSTY:
1. Brush most of the dust off with a camel-hair brush and/or blow dust away with compressed air.
2. If some dust remains, just leave as is-air circulating at the lamp is unfiltered, so some dust is inevitable.
Avoid unnecessary cleaning.
IF FINGERPRINTS, SMUDGES, OIL:
1. First brush dust off with a camel-hair brush and/or blow dust away with compressed air.
2. Fold a clean microfibre cloth and dampen with methanol. Make sure to wipe evenly with the smooth
portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure with your fingers-use the solution in
the cloth to collect the dirt.

4.1.3 Other Components


In a normal operating environment check, clean and treat the following components every 6 months or so to
help ensure proper lamp and projector function:

Lamp Fan
A clogged lamp fan impeller or motor can reduce air flow, leading to possible overheating and failure of the
lamp. Clean/treat the impeller as follows:
1. Vacuum loose dirt from the lamp fan impeller.
2. If necessary, use a brush with hot water and suitable detergent. Important! Do not bend the impeller
blades or loosen the balancing weights.

4-2 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 4: Maintenance

Igniter
Clean the high voltage terminal and insulator to remove accumulated dust or dirt.

Air Flow Interlocks


The lamp fan vane switch is located within the lamp cooling compartment. The extractor vane switch is
located just inside the top duct on the projector lid. Check and, if necessary, clean the switches to remove
accumulated dust or dirt that could impede movement. Within the exhaust duct connected at the top of the
projector, adequate airflow must be maintained and routed to outside of the building. Inspect regularly and
confirm that 1) there are no obstructions or kinks within the ducting, 2) all air intake areas of the CP2000-SB
are unobstructed, and 3) exhaust airflow is within the range shown in Table 3.1. Ensure lamp wiring does not
interfere with vane switch. Refer to Section 2.2 Maintaining Proper Cooling.

Laminar Airflow Device (LAD)


Whenever checking/replacing the air filter on the side of the projector, also visually check the small square
laminar airflow device (LAD) just beyond the filter opening. The LAD should be nearly white in color-if very
dark (rare), it may have to be replaced by a qualified service technician. Contact Christie or your dealer.

4.2 Lamp Replacement


NOTE: For this procedure you will need a compatible Christie Xenon CDXL or CXL lamp as shown in
Section 8: Specifications from the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx)-never install a lamp intended
for a different model or projector. Warning! 1) Make sure to use the correct wattage lamp supplied by
Christie. 2) Lamp replacement is to be done by a qualified service technician only. 3) EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Wear authorized protective clothing whenever the lamp door is open! Never apply a twisting or bending force
to the quartz lamp body.

STEP 6: Remove the Old Lamp and Inspect Reflector


a. Loosen set screws from negative/cathode (rear, 7/64”) and positive/anode (front, 3/16”) lamp connec-
tors. These screws are shown in Figure 4-2. NOTE: Be sure to apply minimal torque and DO NOT
STRESS the quartz tube.
b. Carefully slip the positive anode connector off the front of the lamp.
c. Handle the cathode end only. Unscrew the lamp from the rear connector and carefully remove it from
the projector. Immediately place the lamp inside the protective cover (saved from previous installa-
tion) and then seal it in a heavy carton on the floor where it cannot fall or be bumped. Warning! Han-
dle box with extreme caution. The lamp is hazardous even when packaged. Dispose of lamp box
according to safety regulations for your area.
d. With the lamp removed, visually inspect the reflector for dust. Clean if necessary as described in Sec-
tion 4.1 Maintenance and Cleaning.
STEP 7: Remove New Lamp from Protective Cover
a. Remove tape, knurled nut and locking star washer (if present) securing the lamp within its cover.
b. Handling at the ends only, extract the lamp from the cover. Set aside the protective cover for re-use in
your next lamp disposal or for warranty return of an expired lamp.
STEP 8: Install New Lamp
a. With protective clothing and shield on, install the new lamp by inserting the threaded cathode (-) end
of the lamp into the negative lamp connector nut located in the rear of the lamp compartment and
screw in fully (Figure 4-1, left). Hand-tighten only. CAUTION! Handle by the cathode/anode end
shafts only, never the glass. Do not over-tighten. Do not stress the glass.
b. Rest the anode (+) end of the lamp on the lamp cradle (Figure 4-1) and slip the positive lamp connec-
tor over the bulb end.

c. Hand-tighten set screws in both negative


and positive lamp connectors (Figure 4-
2). Important! Proper electrical con-
tact prevents resistance in the lamp con-
nectors.If you accidentally touch the
quartz body of the lamp with your bare
hands, clean it as described in Section
4.1 Maintenance and Cleaning.
STEP 9: Check Leads
Ensure that the anode (+) lead between lamp
and igniter is well away from any projector
metal such as the reflector or firewall.
Warning! Leads too close to metal parts

will cause arcing during starting pulse. This
Anode (+) Connectors
is a SAFETY HAZARD, and the lamp may
not ignite.
STEP 10: Close Cooling Compartment and Lamp Door
The projector will not operate unless the louvered door is locked shut.
STEP 11: Turn Breakers to ON
At the projector's breaker panel, turn all breakers to ON.
STEP 12: Set Proper Lamp Type (Power)
NOTE: Skip this step if your new lamp is the same size as the old lamp-the Lamp Type will still be correct
in the Install menu.
Important! Requires access to TPC Installer menu.
If your new lamp is larger or smaller than the old lamp, record the new lamp type (2.0, 3.0, 4.5 or 6.0 kW)
in the Touch Panel Controller's Install menu before igniting the new lamp. This setting establishes the
proper range of power available for the installed lamp, ensuring that the new lamp is neither under-pow-
ered nor over-driven. Warning! Do not attempt to ignite the lamp until its type (kW) is correctly set in the
Install menu.
STEP 13: Turn the Lamp ON and Adjust the Lamp Position
Press and hold the lamp button on the TPC Main menu. Using the TPC, adjust the lamp position within the
projector. Refer to Section 3.7 Working with the Lamp in the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx).
This ensures maximum performance, with the lamp (bulb) well-centered with the reflector and distanced
correctly from the rest of the illumination system.
STEP 14: Record the Serial Number of the New Lamp
a. In the Advanced: Lamp menu, select New Lamp.
b. In the Lamp History submenu, enter the serial number in the text box.
c. Save to record the number and to reset the lamp timer. The timer will now begin to log time for the
new lamp.

020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
5 Troubleshooting
5.1 Power

5.1.1 Projector Will Not Start


1. Check for green Main AC light on projector. If not on, check all breakers on projector and at the
wall. There are single-phase and 3-phase breakers.
2. Are the CP breakers staying on when enabled? If they are tripping to OFF position, there is an
electrical problem requiring investigation by a certified electrician.

5.2 Lamp

5.2.1 Lamp Does Not Ignite


1. If the lamp button is entirely disabled (not selectable at the TPC Main menu, indicated by a red X
on the lamp button), there is an interlock failure such as an open lamp door, failed lamp fan, etc. A
flashing red alarm window also indicates this. Refer to solutions listed in the Alarm Conditions
and Solutions table in Section 3: Operation from the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx).
2. For SSM communication failures, re-boot and try again.
3. If a DMD temperature is too high (DMD over critical temp limit), the lamp will not ignite. Cool
the projector and try again.
4. If the Status menu indicates a ballast communication problem, re-boot and try again.
5. If the lamp does not ignite after a second try, replace the lamp.
6. If there is no buzzing indicating that the igniter is attempting ignition, there may be a problem with
the igniter (Christie service required).
7. If there is a brief buzz attempting ignition but a lamp does not ignite, the lamp likely needs to be
replaced.

5.2.2 Lamp Suddenly Goes Off


1. Try increasing the lamp power (TPC Advanced Lamp menu).
2. The DMDs in the projection head may be overheated (this also triggers an alarm window at the
TPC).
3. An interlock may be interrupting lamp function.
4. Make sure the 220V connection near Panel C at the rear of the projector head (on the underside) is
still plugged in.
5. Replace the lamp.

5.2.3 No Lamp Current Reading


With this communication error, the lamp will be powered by the last lamp power setting in effect.

020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 5: Troubleshooting

5.2.4 Flicker, Shadows or Dimness


1. LampLOC™ may need re-adjustment.
2. LampLOC™ may be in the middle of its adjustment. Wait approximately 2 min.
3. Increase lamp power, if possible.
4. Determine if it is mid-level grayscale flicker (beating)-adjust 3-phase balancing for minimized ripple
(requires qualified service technician).

5.2.5 LampLOC™ Does Not Seem to Work


1. In the TPC Advanced Lamp menu, try adjusting lamp position using one button at a time-watch light
level for changes indicating lamp movement.
2. If the motors do not respond via any TPC buttons, you can position the lamp manually within the
projection head. UV danger. Qualified service technician only.

5.2.6 LiteLOC™ Does Not Seem to Work


1. Ensure LiteLOC™ is set and enabled in the Advanced: Lamp menu.
2. Changing the Lamp Power setting disables LiteLOC™.
3. If the lamp power has increased to its maximum in order to maintain a LiteLOC™ setting, LiteLOC™ is
automatically terminated. If the values shown in the Advanced: Lamp menu indicate that the lamp power
has reached this over-drive state, either reduce your LiteLOC™ setting or install a new lamp.

5.3 TPC
1. If the TPC fails to initialize, re-boot the projector and try again.
2. A failed TPC usually indicates a system failure requiring service.
3. A TPC communication failure (crash) while displaying a test pattern requires that the projector be cycled
OFF and ON again.
4. If the TPC response becomes sluggish, try re-booting the projector. If it persists, the installer may have set
the TPC Data Logging option to Detailed, which taxes memory and performance. For best results and
normal operation, this setting should be reduced to Errors or Standard.
5. Erratic TPC behavior or an error message such as "Could not write to file" can also indicate an
internal memory shortage. Make sure to regularly delete back-up files or corrupt files from the IPSM and/
or CompactFlash memory card. Save backups to a PC/laptop only, not the TPC (contact your administra-
tor).
6. If the locations of button presses on the screen seem to be misinterpreted, the TPC screen may need
recalibrating.

Section 5: Troubleshooting

5.4 Ethernet
1. If the TPC stalls at "Waiting to Connect", you have 30 seconds in which to enter a service login.
Make sure the Ethernet settings are valid for your site-all devices should have the same subnet mask but
unique IP addresses.
2. Make sure to save any address changes, and re-boot to implement all changes.
3. IP address shown in TPC Admin menu must match that of the projector.
4. If you still have trouble establishing communications with a projector added to an existing Ethernet
network, the projector's IP address is likely in conflict with another address already in use. Contact your
network administrator.

5.5 Cinema Displays

5.5.1 Blank Screen, No Display of Cinema Image


1. Confirm all power connections are still OK.
2. Make sure there is no lens cap present.
3. Make sure the douser/shutter is OPEN (button is on TPC Main menu).
4. Make sure there is not a full black test pattern selected for display.
5. Is the correct display file selected? Check the Touch Panel Controller.
6. Is the correct cinema port connected for this display file? Check connections.

5.5.2 Severe Motion Artifacts


Most likely there is a synchronization problem with reversed 3/2 pull-down in 60Hz-to-24Hz film-to-digital
conversion in your source. The display file needs correction.

5.5.3 Image Appears Squeezed or Vertically Stretched into Center of Screen


Source data converted from film and pre-squeezed for CP2000-SB's display format may require use of the
anamorphic lens to regain full scope image width and proper proportions.

5.5.4 No Image, Just Pink Snow


1. Make sure the projector's lid is not open. In the event it is open, close the lid and pause or stop the show on
the server. Then, press play on the server and wait several seconds for the projector to receive the set of
decryption keys (from the server). If after 30 seconds the projector doesn't recover, pause or stop the show
and try playing again. If this doesn't work, try resetting the server.
2. Make sure the IP octets for the projector and the server (Eth1 port) match.
3. CineCanvas does not have the correct projector IP address. Check the IP address of the projector and
server and change if necessary. They should match.

Section 5: Troubleshooting

5.6 Non-cinema Displays


The following troubleshooting entries assume that you are using a 3rd-party input source for displaying
alternative non-cinema material. As a first step, always consult the documentation supplied with the external
equipment.

5.6.1 The Projector is ON but There’s No Display


1. Was a lens cover accidentally left on? Remove lens cover.
2. Make sure the douser is OPEN.
3. Is the lamp ignited? Press the lamp button on the Touch Panel Controller.
4. Is the correct DVI display button selected on the Touch Panel Controller?
5. Is AC power connected?
6. Is an active source connected properly? Check the cable connections and make sure the alternative source
is selected.
7. Can you access test patterns? If so, check your source connections again.

5.6.2 The Display is Jittery or Unstable


1. If the non-cinema display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure that the source is properly connected and
of adequate quality for detection. With a poor quality or improperly connected source, the projector will
repeatedly attempt to display an image, however briefly.
2. The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the projector. Refer to
Section 6: Maintenance from the CP2000-SB User Manual (020-100162-xx) for scan frequency ranges.
3. The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the source problem.

5.6.3 The Display is Faint


1. Brightness and/or contrast may be set too low.
2. The source may be double terminated. Ensure the source is terminated only once.
3. The source (if non-video) may need sync tip clamping.

5.6.4 The Upper Portion of the Display is Waving, Tearing or Jittering


This can sometimes occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source.

5.6.5 Portions of the Display are Cut Off or Wrap to the Opposite Edge
Resizing may need adjustment. Adjust until entire image is visible and centered.

5.6.6 The Display Appears Compressed (Vertically Stretched)


1. The frequency of the pixel sampling clock is incorrect for the current source.
2. Sizing and positioning options may be adjusted poorly for the incoming source signal.
3. Use an anamorphic lens for typical HDTV and anamorphic DVD sources that have been re-sized and
vertically stretched via 3rd-party software.

5-4 CP2000-SB Setup Guide


020-100249-02 Rev. 1 (05-2009)
Section 5: Troubleshooting

5.6.7 Data is Cropped from Edges


To display the missing material, reduce image size to fill the display area available in the projector, then stretch
vertically to fill the screen from top to bottom. Add the anamorphic lens to regain the image width.

5.6.8 Display Quality Appears to Drift from Good to Bad, Bad to Good
1. The source input signal may be of low quality.
2. The H or V frequency of the input may have changed at the source end.

5.6.9 The Display Has Suddenly Frozen


If the screen blacks out inexplicably, it is possible that excessive voltage noise on the AC or ground input has
interrupted the projector's ability to lock on to a signal. Power down the projector (refer to Section 2.4
Powering Down the Projector) and unplug. Then plug in again and power up as usual (refer to Section 2.3
Powering Up the Projector).

5.6.10 Colors in the Display are Inaccurate


1. The color, tint, color space and/or color temperature settings may require adjustment at your input source.
2. Make sure you are using the proper PCF, TCGD and/or CSC file for this source.

5.6.11 The Display is Not Rectangular


1. Check leveling of the projector. Make sure that the lens surface and screen are parallel to one another.
2. Is the vertical offset correct? Adjust as necessary using the vertical offset knob.
3. Is the anamorphic lens straight? Rotate to orient aperture correctly.

5.6.12 The Display is “Noisy”


1. Display adjustment at your input source may be required. Adjust pixel tracking, phase and filter. Noise is
particularly common on YPbPr signals from a DVD player.
2. The video input may not be terminated. Make sure the video input is terminated (75 ). If it is the last
connection in a loop-through chain, the video input should be terminated at the last source input only.
3. The input signal and/or signal cables carrying the input signal may be of poor quality.
4. If the distance between the input source device and the projector is greater than 25 feet, signal amplifica-
tion/conditioning may be required.
5. If the source is a VCR or off-air broadcast, detail may be set too high.

5.6.13 There are Random Streaks on the Bottom of the Image


1. If a 24Hz or 25Hz HDSDI signal or a 50 Hz SDI digital PAL signal, make sure to use non-cinema
processing-delete the checkmark for Cinema checkbox in the Touch Panel Controller's Advanced menu.
NOTE: password-protected.
2. Or, if you do not have access to the Touch Panel Controller's Advanced menu and cannot adjust the
processing path, use your 3rd-party input source to crop off the streaks.
