Subnet Mask:
• DC2K 3D Triple Flash functionality, capable of projecting full resolution 3D images under a 6:2 frame rate
multiplication. NOTE: TI DLP version 13 series or higher is required.
• HDCP decryption on both DVI inputs allows display of copy protected alternate content.
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.
2.2.1 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.
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.
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.
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.
Identifies the
new alarm
condition.
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.
OVER-TEMPERATURE
Card cage is too hot Power down and cool projector. Ambient temperature may be too high. Check air filter and fan.
Prism is too hot Power down and cool projector. Reduce lamp power. Ambient temperature may be too high.

Blue DMD is too hot Power down and cool projector. Reduce lamp power. Ambient temperature may be too high.
Check fluid flow and level. Check air filter. Check liquid cooler fan.
SSM is too hot Power down and cool projector. Reduce lamp power. Ambient temperature may be too high.
Check fluid flow and level. Check air filter.
Ballast is too hot and has shut down Cool, then cycle the projector down-and-up normally. If the over-temp recurs, there is a cooling
problem in the ballast that may require service. Check ballast fan.
LAMP PROBLEMS
Lamp Life has expired Replacement of the lamp is recommended.
Unexpected lamp OFF Increase Lamp Power. Check that DMDs have not overheated. An interlock may have
momentarily tripped. Lamp may have to be replaced.
Lamp strike failed If interlocks are OK, ensure the 220V connection near Panel C at the rear of the projector head
(on the underside) is still plugged in. If lamp re-try still fails, replace the lamp.
OTHER
SSM Communication Error Check cabling. Cycle projector power for a normal start-up. Check LEDs on card cage boards,
which can indicate a light engine problem instead. Check LVPS/Processor voltages. Also, if
shutter or lamp are functioning normally, SSM likely OK.
I2C Communication Error There may be a power problem with the main electronics (I2C). Check LVPS/Proc. voltage
adjustments.

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.
Figure 2-5 Typical Dual-Input 3D System (CP2000 Shown with Active Glasses)
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.
Ensure the following tools and components are on hand before beginning. NOTE: In general,
fasteners are metric sizes and require metric tools. However, to complete lamp installation, imperial
tools are required, which are provided inside the lamp door of the projector.
12” screwdrivers: Phillips (magnetic) and flat
Assorted wrenches such as 7/8” and 3/4”
Assorted Allen keys such as 3/16”, 7/64”, 5/32”, and M3
3-phase 4-wire, 5-wire, or 6-wire connection of AC supply to Terminal Block 1 in pedestal
(certified electrician required)
Heat extractor (such as inline centrifugal blower Elicent model# AXC 315B) or roof extractor
providing at least 450 CFM (2 or 3 kW lamps) or 600 CFM (4.5 or 6 kW lamps) at 8” exhaust
duct opening @ 600 watts or lower. NOTE: Mount at an external location
Lamp and protective clothing / safety gear
Laptop computer with DCP Librarian setup software with Ethernet or standard RS-232 cable
Vapor-free dustoff type compressed air can
Latex lab gloves
Lens cleaning tissue and solution (refer to Section 4.1 Maintenance and Cleaning)
1) DO NOT misplace High Security keys, which are packed with the
projector. Replacement involves dispatching a field technician to the site at owner’s
expense. 2) Qualified technician required for all installation steps. Do not modify cir-
cuits or wiring.
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.
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.
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.
6. Route the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK lamp lead through the hole in the cooling compartment floor
(Figure 3-11). The igniter wires from terminal 5 and the PCB are also routed here.
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.
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.
At this point, the lamp pre-wiring is complete. Leave lamp accessible for now.
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.
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.
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.
Never disable a vane switch. Attempting to operate the projector with inade-
quate airflow can result in dangerous overheating of the projector.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: The DVI ports are single-link ports for single-link cable/connectors only. Using as a dual-link pair
requires a special adapter (not currently available).
TPC
Connect the TPC cable to the Ethernet hub within the pedestal (this is usually pre-connected from factory).
In rare cases where additional tilt is needed, you can utilize the rear extender legs as described below.
Important! For best optical performance, avoid tilting the projector excessively. Use vertical offset of the
lens instead.
3. Remove the rear bottom panel (2 top screws, 2 bottom tabs) from the CP pedestal (Figure 3-30).
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.
At the main menu of the TPC, press the LAMP button . The lamp should ignite.
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.

immediately halt movement of the lens mount.
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.

3. Adjust the Focus to retract the lens using the down arrow on the Main: Lens menu. See Figure 3-40.
Watch the image at the left edge of the screen until it comes into focus. If the image appears well-focused
on the left edge but not on the right, determine if the right side focuses in front of or behind the screen. If
the entire screen come into focus, skip to step 7.

5. When both sides appear equally blurry, adjust the Offset by clicking the up/down/left/right buttons on the
Main: Lens menu to re-center the image on the screen.
6. Repeat Steps 1 - 5 until both sides of the image are well focused.
7. Adjust the Horizontal Hold Screw to lock adjustments in place. Check boresight again. See Figure 3-39.
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.
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.
2. LENS CLEARANCE: Adjust clearance between the primary and wide converter lens to match the values
in the following table. NOTE: Measure from front of prime lens to back of wide converter lens barrel.
Zoom Lens Clearance
1.45 - 1.8:1 8.6 mm + 2
1.8 - 2.4:1 13.6 mm + 2
2.2 - 3.0:1 6 mm + 2
3.0 - 4.3:1 6 mm + 2
3. VERTICAL LENS POSITION: Adjust the converter lens vertically so that it is exactly on the center line
with the pre-adjusted prime lens.
4. HORIZONTAL LENS POSITION: Adjust the converter lens horizontally so that it is exactly on the
center line with the pre-adjusted prime lens.
5. PITCH ADJUSTMENT: Adjust the top and bottom clearance between the wide converter and prime
lenses until they are equal, using a wedge gauge or small calipers.
6. YAW ADJUSTMENT: Adjust the two side clearances between the wide converter and prime lenses until
they are equal, using a wedge gauge or small calipers.
7. RECORD SERIAL NUMBER: Enter the serial number of your converter lens in Advanced: Lens
menu.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
5.6.5 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.
5.6.8 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.
