1.1.2 HOW THE PROJECTOR WORKS

The CP2000-SB accepts a variety of cinema or DVI-compatible “non-cinema” signals for projection on front
screens typical in a commercial theatre or other large screen applications. High brightness light is generated by
a short arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by three DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) panels responding to
incoming data streams of digitized red, green or blue color information. As these digital streams flow from the
source, light from the responding “on” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the
screen through one or more front lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color
images.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
2.1.2 PROJECTION HEAD AND PEDESTAL

1. SECURE PROJECTION HEAD TO PEDESTAL.
WARNING
Requires at least 2 people. For cable connections, maintain cable ties that have been
trimmed, and those that are not.
a. Roll the pedestal as close as possible to its permanent location, with its front toe facing the port
window wall.
b. Inside the pedestal, at the rear of the top frame, turn the knob to extend the safety prop above the
pedestal frame—this “stop” will then elevate the rear of the projection head until fingers are safely out
of the way. See Figure 2-1 Step 1.
FIGURE 2-1 ASSEMBLING PROJECTION HEAD WITH PEDESTAL

c. Lift the projection head onto the pedestal, aligning 4 threaded rods with 4 holes in pedestal frame. The
front of the head will seat on the front of the pedestal frame, and the rear will be elevated by the safety
prop.
d. Retract the safety prop until the rear of the projection head seats on the rear of the pedestal frame. All
4 threaded rods will be fully inserted through the holes in the top of the pedestal. Secure prop (do not
leave loose).
e. Secure head-pedestal assembly with 4 washers/nuts tightened snugly on to the 4 threaded rods (use ¾”
wrench).
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 (see Figure 2-2A). If forced to be off-center (such as when a film projector is already
present), try to optimize aim as shown in Figure 2-2B. This will slightly increase side keystoning, but will
minimize horizontal lens offset required.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
NOTE: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector lens surface as parallel to the screen as
possible, even if it is significantly above the screen center.
FIGURE 2-2 CENTERING < > (AERIAL VIEWS)

Note that when a particularly short throw distance combines with a very wide screen, you may have to
forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. In such cases, some lens offset can reduce the
keystone distortion.
Later, when your projector is up-and-running, adjust precise image geometry and placement as described
in 2.7 Basic Image Alignment.
3. EXTEND ALL FEET: For permanent installations and more stable images, the projector should be firmly on
the floor rather than on its casters.
See Figure 2-3. Extend (rotate) the foot located behind each caster until the lens opening is fairly well-
centered with the port window. 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 2.4 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling.
FIGURE 2-3 ADJUST FEET

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
4. INSTALL TPC (Figure 2-4)

a. Attach the Touch Panel Controller, pre-assembled with its ball
joint base and mounting arm, to the matching ball joint base
secured at the rear of the projector.
b. Connect to the TPC cable routed through the nearby hole in
the projector rear. The other end of this cable is pre-connected
to the internal Ethernet hub and the 24V power supply.
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 unused hole.
FIGURE 2-4 TYPICAL TPC MOUNTING
5. CONNECT PRE-INSTALLED CABLING (PEDESTAL-TO-HEAD)

Numerous cables are pre-installed within the pedestal and must be routed up to the underside of the
projection head, where they connect to one of three panels (or two IEC power sockets). Connect pedestal-
to-head cabling as follows:
NOTE: For all cable connections, keep cable ties that have been trimmed at manufacture, but remove
temporary ties that are untrimmed and have “tails”.
a. Open both pedestal doors (Figure 2-5).
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 ballast’s AC input
switch to match the AC available at the site—toggle left for nominal 200 VAC supplies, and toggle
right for 400 VAC supplies. The factory default is 200 VAC.
FIGURE 2-5 OPEN PROJECTOR FOR ACCESS

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
d. BALLAST RS-232 CABLE: Connect the ballast’s RS-232 cable 34-002075 to Panel B (9-pin), routing
through the small rectangular access hole in the front underside of the projection head (Figure 2-6). A
second connector on Panel B is pre-connected to Panel C. Any third connector is a non-functional
spare.
e. BALLAST INTERLOCK CABLE: Connect the ballast’s interlock cable 34-002007 to Panel C (9-pin),
routing through the small rectangular access hole in the rear underside of the projection head (Figure
2-6). A second connector on Panel C is pre-connected to Panel B, and the remaining third connector is
a non-functional spare.
FIGURE 2-6 CONNECT BALLAST RS-232 AND INTERLOCKS TO PROJECTION HEAD
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). These cables are interchangeable—connect either cable to either receptacle,
and secure with metal strain-relief clip provided. See Figure 2-7.
FIGURE 2-7 CONNECT "PROJECTOR" BREAKER POWER CABLES TO PROJECTION HEAD

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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 projector wiring(Figure 2-8). No other components or external
equipment should be connected here.
.
FIGURE 2-8 CHECK TPC AND ETHERNET HUB CONNECTIONS TO POWER
h. CONNECT LAMP LEADS (Figure 2-9):

• Make sure the igniter door is open (Figure 2-5). From the ballast in the pedestal, route the main
black and white lamp leads through the nearby hole in the underside of the projection head. See Figure
2-9.
• Route the NEGATIVE (-) BLACK lamp lead through the hole in the lamp cooling compartment
wall.
• 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.
• Close and lock the igniter door.
WARNING
• Make sure the PCB is directed toward the back and remains at least ¾” from the
high-voltage terminal (with braid connection).
• Route all igniter wires AWAY from 9-pin and 15-pin connectors.
• Twist both ballast cables twice-per-foot.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-9 ROUTE LAMP LEADS UP AND CONNECT POSITIVE (+) WHITE
In the lamp cooling compartment:

• With the lamp door removed (refer back to Figure 2-
5), turn the small knob and swing open the lamp
cooling compartment door.
FIGURE 2-10 ACCESSING CATHODE END
• Route the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK lamp lead through the hole
in the cooling compartment floor. The igniter wires from termi-
nal “5” and the PCB are also routed here.
FIGURE 2-11 FEED BLACK LEAD INTO COMPARTMENT

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
• 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 over-
all length. See right.
NOTE: The universal nut shown accommodates all models. Do not install a
shorter nut.
FIGURE 2-12 CONNECTOR NUT
IMPORTANT: Ball joint must move freely. If necessary, hand tighten

with 9/64” allen key.
• With 3/16” allen key, secure the NEGATIVE (–) BLACK lamp lead and
the 2 igniter harnesses tothe side of the connector nut.
IMPORTANT: Secure lamp lead FIRST on connector, then remaining
2 igniter wires on TOP.
At this point, the lamp pre-wiring is complete. Leave lamp accessible
for now.
FIGURE 2-13 SECURE LAMP LEAD AND 2 IGNITER WIRES
6. CONNECT 2 COOLING HOSE 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.
Shown for pedestals manufactured

before Fall 2006

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Shown for pedestals manufactured Fall 2006 and after

FIGURE 2-14 THE LIQUID COOLING LOOP
a. To create this loop, connect the OUT/warm and IN/cool hoses as described below (note: hose
connections may not be labeled). Be sure to depress each hose connector tab before inserting the hose
end, then release to seal. 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—
connect 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
projector head location closest to the operator’s
side of the projector.
FIGURE 2-15 CONNECTING THE HOSES
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”.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
7. FILL THE RESERVOIR COMPLETELY (INITIAL FILLING FOR HOSES ONLY)

a. After connecting the hoses, completely fill the cooler reservoir
with Christie’s 50/50 mix of distilled water and ethylene glycol.
For this first filling, simply fill the reservoir completely—there is
no need to check the gauge. Virtually all of this first supply 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 (see 2.5 Initial Power Up).
FIGURE 2-16 FILL RESERVOIR
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. Make sure hoses are free of kinks and sharp turns.
b. Connect sources and communication links at any time—see 2.2 Installing and Connecting Sources
and 2.3 Connecting for Communications.
2.1.3 EXHAUST DUCTING

Warm exhaust air from the CP2000-SB must vent to outside of the building.
Connect pre-installed outside-venting ductwork via 8” inside diameter fireproof
ducting material attached to 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 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 upon the lamp.
(Table 2.1 Airflow Requirements).
Table 2.1 Airflow Requirements

MINIMUM
LAMP (KW) EXHAUST
AIRFLOW RATE
2 450 ft3/min.
3 450 ft3/min.
4.5 600 ft3/min.
6 600 ft3/min.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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 2.1) 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 6.2 Maintaining Proper Cooling.
WARNING
Never disable a vane switch. Attempting to operate the projector with inadequate
airflow can result in dangerous overheating of the projector.
2.1.4 INSTALL LENS(ES)
PRIMARY ZOOM LENS

1. Fully insert the lens assembly straight into the lens mount opening all the way back without turning.
With the lens fully back, it will seat properly within the lens mount.
NOTE: High Contrast lenses (only) have a flat on the rear flange. Rotate the lens so that the flange clears two
screws in the mount. Also ensure the UP label is at the top to ensure proper aperture orientation.
2. Lock the lens assembly in place with lens clamp DOWN.
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.
ANAMORPHIC LENS OR 1.26X WIDE CONVERTER INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: Required only for 1.25x anamorphic lens or 1.26x wide converter, 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,
boresight and the like. 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 detail see 2.8.2 Add Auxiliary Lens).

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
2.1.5 INSTALL FIRST LAMP

Install one of the following lamps in the projection head, depending on your site:
Table 2.2 Lamps

CP2000-SB LAMPS
CXL*/CDXL-20 (2.0 kW)

CXL/CDXL-30 (3.0 kW) **
CXL/CDXL-45 (4.5 kW) **
CXL/CDXL-60/CDXL-60SD (6.0 kW) **
* CXL-20 requires adaptor kit (P/N 003-001728-XX)

** Available as CDXL (maximum performance) or original CXL (less expensive).Refer to full specifications in
Section 8.
1. REVIEW LAMP PRE-WIRING. Review all lamp pre-wiring as described on the previous pages, ensuring that
all leads and harnesses are connected correctly and that the universal cathode connector nut is secured to
the rear lamp post.
2. CHECK LAMP CRADLE (ANODE END) LOCATION FOR YOUR LAMP
• For 4.5 or 6.0 kW lamps, the lamp cradle must be as far forward
as possible (factory default).
• For 2.0 or 3.0 kW lamps, move the cradle to the rear position,
i.e., approximately 1” closer to the reflector. See Figure 2-17.
FIGURE 2-17 LAMP CRADLE POSITION
3. INSTALL LAMP. See 6.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter, Steps 7-
10. Observe all warnings, and wear protective clothing and shielding.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
2.1.6 CONNECTING TO POWER

Connecting the CP projector to your AC supply can vary according to the country in which the CP is installed.
The five scenarios are explained below. For any installation, always follow the electrical code for your country.
WARNING
Certified electrician required. Follow the Terminal Block 1 (TB1) Connections diagram
located on the inside of the pedestal.
WARNING
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 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, which will ensure adequate environmental sealing, 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 2-18). Secure with both washers and nut provided, and make sure there are no other wires present
at this stud.
WARNING
Connect ground FIRST to reduce shock hazard from high leakage.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-18 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:
NOTE: 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) Make sure to refer to the Terminal Block 1
(TB1) Connections diagram located in the pedestal.
180-235 VAC (N. America, Japan, most of Central/South America, etc.):

•If 3-phase and single-phase feeds (6-wire):
• Make sure ground wire is connected directly to the frame ground stud on the pedestal floor. Attach no other
wires here.
• Connect L and N @ 200-230 VAC (single-phase)
• Connect 1, 2, and 3 @ 180-235 VAC (3-phase)
•If 3-phase with neutral fed from 3-phase (5-wire):

This configuration is not possible. Use 5-wire or 6-wire only. Neutral is required.
WARNING
Ground (earth) connection is necessary for safety. Never compromise safety by
returning current through the ground.
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.
Refer to Figure 2-19.
FIGURE 2-19 CHECK VOLTAGE AND POSITION JUMPER
BALLAST 115 VAC TAPS: Make sure your nominal line between the terminals labeled 115V and COMMON
(or 0V) is within 10% of 115 VAC. See Figure 2-20.
• 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 +10%.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-20 CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN 115V AND COMMON (“0V”)
2.2 INSTALLING AND CONNECTING SOURCES

Depending on site requirements, cinema servers such as digital media storage devices or non-cinema sources
such as PCs either reside outside of the projector, or are rack-mounted directly in the rear of the CP. They must
not interfere with CP operation.
Regardless of their mounting location, sources must connect to one of four ports on the Communication and
Source Connection Panel located on the underside of the projection head. 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.
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 2-20
and Figure 2-21 (shown are models with internal outlet for North America, etc.).
FIGURE 2-21 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL CINEMA SERVER/SOURCE

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-22 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL NON-CINEMA (DVI) SOURCE

NOTE: The DVI ports shown in Figure 2-22 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).
IF INTERNAL: Sources/servers are often rack-mounted in the projector rear, with cabling routed directly to the
underside of the projection head—see Figure 2-23 and Figure 2-24. 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 make sure 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.
FIGURE 2-23 CONNECTING AN INTERNAL CINEMA SERVER/SOURCE

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-24 CONNECTING AN INTERNAL NON-CINEMA (DVI) SOURCE

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).
2.2.1 SUPPORT FOR INTERNAL SERVERS/SOURCE

A series of holes around the top perimeter of the pedestal frame accommodates strapping for support of
internal equipment. To maximize air circulation and cooling within the pedestal, install your longest devices in
the highest rack-mount slot available where they will not significantly block airflow.
2.2.2 SECURITY FOR INTERNAL SERVERS/SOURCE

Upon installation of a rack-mount server or source within the pedestal, make sure 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 1) access to the pedestal interior and 2) 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.
2.3 CONNECTING FOR COMMUNICATIONS

Many communications with the projector are initiated on the 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).

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-25 COMMUNICATION LINKS WITH PROJECTOR
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 2-25, and route as shown in Figure 2-21, Figure 2-22, Figure 2-23, and
Figure 2-24.
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.

2.4 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 2-25). 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.
FIGURE 2-26 TILT PROJECTOR TO MATCH SCREEN

Before adjusting tilt, make sure the projector is as WELL-CENTERED (<−>) with the theatre screen as
possible for your installation area (refer back to Figure 2-2).
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 (see Figure 2-26), 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. See right.
FIGURE 2-27 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-28 OPEN REAR OF PEDESTAL

3. Remove the rear bottom panel (2 top screws, 2 bottom tabs) from the CP 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. See Figure 2-29.
FIGURE 2-29 ADJUST REAR EXTENDER LEGS

6. Slide the legs out to the desired position, and secure with 2 bolts.
7. Remove the jack.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
8. If necessary, re-adjust all leveling feet for side-to-side leveling (Figure 2-27). Note that you may have to
adjust level more precisely once an image is present.
2.5 INITIAL POWER UP

1. TURN ON BREAKERS.
With all components installed and connected, power-up the projector as described in 3.2 Power-up Procedure,
Steps 1 and 2. Do not ignite the lamp yet.
IMPORTANT: Do not ignite the lamp until you have defined the lamp type in the TPC Install menu (Step 6).
2. FILL RESERVOIR A SECOND TIME.
FIGURE 2-30 RE-FILL AND CHECK LEVEL

Upon initial power up, your first supply of coolant will drain into the hoses and fill them, leaving the reservoir
itself almost empty. Using Christie’s 50/50 mix of distilled water and ethylene glycol, 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 (see
right). If you over-fill, remove the reservoir from the pedestal and pour out excess. Refer back to Figure 2-16.
3. POWER DOWN AND UP AGAIN.
Turn all projector breakers OFF, then ON again to clear air from lines.
4. CHECK FOR AIRLOCK IN COOLING SYSTEM.
FIGURE 2-31 CHECK HOSE FOR AIRLOCK PROBLEM

After any final filling or topping up of the coolant reservoir, make sure the hose between the reservoir to the
pump is completely full upon the next power-up (Figure 2-31).
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—hose should
now be completely filled.
5. CHECK THAT FANS ARE RUNNING AND INTERLOCKS ARE OK.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
6. DEFINE THE LAMP TYPE.

At the TPC, go to the Admin:Lamp menu (password required). Enter the size of the lamp currently installed in
the projector (factory default should be 2.0 kW).
7. IGNITE THE LAMP.
At the main menu of the TPC, press the lamp button. The lamp should ignite.
2.6 MAXIMIZING LIGHT OUTPUT

Upon powering up the projector with a newly-installed/replaced lamp, adjust 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.
FIGURE 2-32 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.
2.6.1 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, see Section 3.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
2.7 BASIC IMAGE ALIGNMENT

NOTE: Assumes projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final location.
This procedure ensures that the image reflected from the DMDs is parallel to and well-centered with both the
lens and screen. This initial optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing images on the screen, and must
be completed before final boresight adjustments.
NOTE: Before you begin:
The CP2000-SB must be properly positioned relative to the screen (refer back to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-26).
2.7.1 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 (see 3.8 Working with the Lenses). 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 2-33 LEVEL THE TOP EDGE

4. RE-CHECK SIDE-TO-SIDE LEVELING: With a good test pattern on screen, double-check projector leveling
(see 2.4 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling) so that the top edge of the image is parallel to the top edge of the
screen. See Figure 2-33.
2.8 OFFSET AND BORESIGHT ALIGNMENT

NOTES: 1) Projector must be fully assembled and powered up in its final location. Install the auxiliary lens, if
it will be used at the site. 2) You will need a 3/16” allen wrench.
To ensure proper offset for your site and consistently good focus in all areas of the screen, a primary lens must
be installed and its lens mount precisely adjusted in relation to internal optics as described below. If desired, an
auxiliary lens can then be added to widen images for “scope” cinema displays.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-34 ANATOMY OF THE LENS MOUNT

Refer to lens mount components illustrated in Figure 2-34 for these adjustments.
2.8.1 ADJUST OFFSET

Project an image with the primary lens only. The optional auxiliary lens, if present, can be mounted but swung
aside.
FIGURE 2-35 OFFSETS

Adjust horizontal and vertical offsets as necessary (Figure 2-35) so that the image is square on screen but offset
is minimal. Always adjust offset before boresight.
NOTE: For best optical performance, make sure to minimize offsets by “aiming” the projector lens at the
center of the image. Refer back to Figure 2-2.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
The maximum vertical offset is shown in Figure 2-36 (bottom illustration).
FIGURE 2-36 VERTICAL OFFSET RANGE

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.
1. Adjust focus at the far left center edge of the image (Figure 2-37). If possible, reduce image size for easier
image analysis.
FIGURE 2-37 ADJUST FOCUS AT LEFT EDGE

2. If the image appears well-focused on the left edge but not on the right, then the boresight currently differs
from one side to the other—i.e., the right side of the image is well-focused either in front of or behind the
screen surface rather than on it. To determine where the right side is focusing:
Hold a piece of white paper approximately parallel to the screen surface at the right side (and as close to the
vertical center as possible), then move closer to the projector while watching the image on the paper.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-38 ADJUST TOP FOCUS

• If focus on the paper improves, this indicates that the right side of the image is focusing in front of the screen.
See Figure 2-38.
• If focus on the paper worsens, this indicates that the right side of the image is focusing behind the screen.
GOAL: If the image comes into focus on both sides simultaneously, left/right boresight is fine—skip to Step 7.
3. Adjust the horizontal boresight bolt (Figure 2-39) as necessary to direct or “aim” the lens toward the side
of the image which focused too close to the lens. When both sides appear equally blurry, re-focus on the
left side of the screen.
FIGURE 2-39 ADJUST L/R BORESIGHT

4. Adjust horizontal offset to re-center the image on the screen.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until both sides of the are well-focused.
6. Adjust the “hold” screw to lock in place, and check boresight again.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 2-40 ADJUST TOP FOCUS

7. When the left/right boresighting is complete, focus the image at the top edge of the screen (Figure 2-40).
If the bottom remains blurry while the top edge is focused, refer back to Step 2 but use a paper at the bottom of
the screen to determine whether the bottom of the image is focused in front of the screen or behind the screen.
If the bottom is well-focused, skip to Step 11.
8. Adjust the vertical boresight bolt (Figure 2-41) using one allen key to hold the bottom hex screw and
another to turn the adjustment bolt above it. Adjust as necessary to direct or “aim” the lens toward the edge
of the image which focused too close to the lens. When both top and bottom appear equally blurry, re-
focus at the top of the screen.
FIGURE 2-41 ADJUST TOP/BOTTOM BORESIGHT

9. Adjust vertical offset to re-center the image on the screen.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the top and bottom of screen are both well-focused.
11. REFOCUS: Although all sides of the image should now be in focus, the center of the image will be slightly
blurry at this point. Refocus at center of image. The goal is good focus at center and on all sides.
12. Adjust the “hold” screw to lock in place, and check boresight again.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
2.8.2 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 (020-100036-04) 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. Refer to Section 3, Figure 3-18.
FIGURE 2-42 FOCUS (ANAMORPHIC)
WIDE CONVERTER LENS (1.26X)

NOTES: Use a gauge block (or measuring device) to establish basic alignment of the wide converter lens to
the primary lens.
WARNING
Use the Wide Converter lens with the following High Brightness or High Contrast 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:
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
Note: Measurements from front
of prime lens barrel to back of
wide converter lens barrel
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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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.
Refer to Section 3, Figure 3-18.
2.9 FOLD MIRROR AND CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENTS

In rare instances, shipping and handling may affect the precise factory alignments of one or more optical
components—as a final step of installation, the installer may have to adjust the fold mirror and/or convergence
of the DMDs as described here.
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.
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:
FIGURE 2-43 FOLD MIRROR ADJUSTMENT

• To raise or lower the image, adjust the screw closest to the operator’s side.
• To move the image left or right, adjust the screw furthest from the operator’s side.

2.10 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.
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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Section 3: Operation
3.1 PROJECTOR BASICS
3.1.1 COMPONENTS AND FEATURES

The main CP2000-SB components appear on Figure 3-1.
FIGURE 3-1 BASIC PROJECTOR AND RELATED COMPONENTS

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
CP2000-SB components are briefly described and listed in alphabetical order below:
AIR FILTER
Intake air flows through the filter before circulating in the front compartment to cool the main electronics.
Replace the air filter whenever the lamp is replaced—or sooner in dusty/dirty environments. Check condition
monthly. See 6.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter for complete instructions.
BREAKER PANEL
Each circuit breaker on the pedestal serves two purposes: 1) it is a power switch for one or more components,
and 2) it protects against over-current conditions. All breakers must be ON for normal CP2000-SB power-up
and operation, enabling AC to reach the CP components. If faulty or excessive AC is detected, a breaker will
“trip” to OFF in order to prevent damage to the relevant component. Try moving the breaker ON again—if the
breaker continues to trip OFF, the AC problem must be resolved. Breakers are:
MAIN AC (3-phase): Turns the CP lamp ballast, liquid cooling system, Ethernet hub and TPC on/off. The 3
switches move in tandem.
PROJECTOR: Turns the CP projection head (electronics only—not the lamp) on/off.
INTERNAL (single-phase): Turns on/off any extra equipment, such as an extractor fan mounted within the
exhaust duct, that has been plugged into a power bar connected to CP’s terminal block TB2. Functional only
with 5-wire or 6-wire AC supplies. NOTE: Called “AUX” on CP2000-SB models for connection of CineIPMs.
NOTE: Breakers do not ignite the lamp. You must use the TPC Lamp Button.
CASTERS
The 4 large casters are typically used only when the CP is rolled into place for installation, or if the projector is
moved from one location to another. When the projector leveling feet (recommended for all installations) are
extended enough to raise the projector, the casters will spin freely and can be removed if desired.
COOLANT LEVEL GAUGE

This gauge indicates the current level of coolant present for circulating to the main electronics in the front
portion of the projection head. Keep the liquid level close to—but not above—the top notch. Refill if the level
drops near to the bottom notch.
EXHAUST DUCT
Connect the projector’s 8” top exhaust hole to an outside-vented duct, with at least 10” of the last portion of the
duct rigid at the projector. The duct will also need a heat extractor providing the 600 or 450 cf/m airflow
required for all lamps. See Section 2 Installation and Setup.
EXTENDER LEGS
The rear feet of the projector are attached to extendable legs for more radical tilt (up to 12°) than possible with
the feet only. For best optical performance, tilt the projector so that it is parallel to the screen—but always
avoid radical tilt (such as when the projector is much higher than the screen) and rely on lens offset instead.
See 2.4 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling for complete instructions on setting the tilt adjuster.
LAMPS
In the CP2000-SB, use a 2, 3, 4.5 or 6 kilowatt lamp:

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
The lamp door must remain closed and locked for all normal operation. Trained operators (only) can access the
lamp via security key. Complete lamp specifications are provided in Section 8, Specifications.
LENS MOUNT & AUXILIARY LENS MOUNT

The standard lens mount secures and seals a primary zoom lens within the projector and provides manual
adjustment of focus, zoom and offset. Adjacent to the primary mount, an optional Motorized Auxiliary Lens
Mount (MALM) may be added, providing smooth and fast positioning of a 1.25x anamorphic lens or 1.26x
wide converter in front of the primary lens. Such lenses horizontally spread a pre-squeezed image back into its
wider 2.39:1 “scope” image, and is most typically used in side-masked theatres.
LEVELING FEET
For most cinema installations, the projector is inclined slightly forward to match screen tilt and to minimize the
amount of vertical offset required. Turn the adjustable feet to increase or decrease projector height as needed
for proper leveling and/or slight tilt. See 2.4 Adjusting Tilt and Leveling.
PEDESTAL
The multi-purpose pedestal provides 1) housing for numerous harnesses and the main power supply (a.k.a.
lamp ballast), 2) a stable and adjustable base for the projection head, 3) a central location for accessing all
connections, and 4) connection of AC. The pedestal is closed and locked (medium security) for normal
operation.
POWER CABLING (NOTE: NOT INCLUDED WITH PROJECTOR)

In most cinema installations, the AC power cord emerging from the pedestal toe is hard-wired to an
appropriately rated breaker connected to the AC supply in your building. Note that all CP models require 3-
phase power, but can be configured in one of 5 different ways depending on the AC available at your site. Six-
wire sites include single-phase AC also. The power cable provides AC to the entire CP2000-SB system, and is
disconnected only by turning off all breakers at the wall.
PROJECTION HEAD
The projection head houses the critical illumination and optical components as well as the DLP™ Cinema
processing technology responsible for combining light and incoming source signals into brilliant high-
resolution digital displays. Source inputs route through the pedestal toe (or their servers are rack-mounted at
the rear of the pedestal), and are connected during installation to the Source and Communication Connection
Panel located on the underside of the projection head. Projector function is controlled via the Touch Panel
Controller or other communication from a controller. The projection head must be closed and locked for all
operation.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
SECURITY LOCKS
STANDARD SECURITY for PEDESTAL: Standard-security locks on the lamp door and on each pedestal door
help limit access to authorized personnel. Identical duplicate keys for these three locks are provided with each
projector.
TAMPER-RESISTANT HIGH-SECURITY for PROJECTION HEAD: Components in the projection head are
protected by a electronically monitored high-security lock on the lid. This interlock strictly controls access,
since every opening of the lid is 1) electronically logged and reported and 2) will immediately disable the
current CineLink®2 cinema presentation. The unlocked state is reported via a TPC alarm window, serial
communication and SNMP (note the latter requires the “TPC-60” model of the Touch Panel Controller, new in
2006). You must lock the lid in order to remove the key and activate the switch for normal operation. The two
identical keys provided at manufacture are unique to your projection head serial number as identified on the
back of the Christie key fob, and cannot be duplicated. If you lose or damage a key, contact your dealer or
Christie for a new security lock and key set—the keys cannot be replaced individually.
NOTES: 1) The high-security interlock requires a Type 3 Interface Board and main projector software
v10.0.30 or higher. 2) It is recommended that all keys to the projector be kept in a locked cabinet at the site.
Other CP panels are not removable with standard tools, or they can be removed only where there are other
obstacles in place that prevent theft or tampering.
SECURITY PLATES
The rear security plates help prevent unauthorized access to the interior of the pedestal. They remain in place
until equipment (such as servers or PCs) is rack-mounted within the pedestal.
After rack-mounting your equipment, make sure to re-install the pair of vertical rack protector posts at the rear.
They will overlap the sides of your new equipment and help prevent 1) access to the pedestal interior and 2)
theft of rack-mounted equipment.
NOTE: Keep on hand any extra security 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.
SOURCE/CONTROL CABLING
The pedestal toe knock-outs provide safe routing for all external cabling that connects to the underside of the
projector head during installation. Use a route not currently occupied by the main AC power cable.
SOURCE AND COMMUNICATION CONNECTION PANEL (INTERNAL, UNDERSIDE OF PROJECTION

HEAD)
The Source and Communication Connection Panel provides high-security connection of the CP2000 to a
variety of external equipment such as sources and controllers:
• ETHERNET: Connect networked equipment such as PCs and servers to the internal Ethernet hub.
• RS-232 A (PC): Connect a standard serial/RS-232 cable for external serial communication with a PC/laptop
(NOTE: does not support ASCII messaging).
• RS-232 B (RESERVED): Unique protocol for Christie accessories only, such as the Cine-IPM 2K. Other equip-
ment will not function via this port.
• PORTS A AND B (CINEMA): Connect a wide variety of high-definition cinema sources to these SMPTE 292M
bit-serial standard interface BNCs.
• DVI PORTS (ALTERNATIVE “NON-CINEMA” CONTENT): Connect a wide variety of non-cinema video and
graphics sources to either of these identical single-link DVI ports.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
NOTE: These are single-link ports for single-link cable/connectors only. Using this pair of ports as a dual-link
pair requires a special adapter (not currently available).
Changing a connection requires access to the interior of the projector via the locked pedestal. Unauthorized
general users cannot connect/disconnect.
TOUCH PANEL CONTROLLER (TPC)

The Touch Panel Controller (TPC) is a portable touch-sensitive screen used to control the projector. At the
TPC, general users can turn the lamp on/off, select a specific source/input as defined in one of 32 display
setups created by the installer, and obtain basic status information. Depending on the installation, the TPC
module may be mounted to the rear of the projector with its cable routed to the projector via a rear hole, or it
may be mounted elsewhere at the site and routed to the projector via a front hole. Tilt/turn the TPC as desired
for best viewing angle. Navigation and complete description of the TPC menus—including password-protected
options for advanced users or service technicians—is fully explained in 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller.
3.2 POWER-UP PROCEDURE

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

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-2 POWER-UP PROCEDURE

1. Make sure 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 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, see Section 7, Troubleshooting.

3.4 INTRODUCTION TO THE TOUCH PANEL CONTROLLER

Most users will use the Touch Panel Controller (TPC) as their main interface with the projector. Depending on
the installation, this Windows™-based touch-sensitive screen is typically mounted on the rear of the projector
or at some other convenient nearby location. Installers must pre-program it appropriately for use at the specific
site.
3.4.1 USER ACCESS AND RIGHTS

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Whether or not you can access specific TPC menus and functions depends on how you have logged on to the
TPC. See Figure 3-4.
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 3-4 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.
TRAINED OPERATORS, ADVANCED USERS, ADMINISTRATORS and INSTALLERS: 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 3-4). Each has all of the rights of lower levels, plus additional rights as
described below:
Trained Operators can also 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 four Admin submenus-Source, Screen, color Gamut IP Config, and GPIO-to
define setup files as selectable choices for processing a variety of incoming signals. Source files set incoming
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 properly
met in the current environment. In the IP Config menu, the administrator can define new Ethernet settings (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

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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.
3.4.2 TPC POWER-UP DEFAULTS

When the CP2000-SB powers up (see 3.2 Power-up Procedure), 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.
3.4.3 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 7, Troubleshooting and, if the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
3.5 USING THE TOUCH PANEL CONTROLLER

Touch Panel Controller software resembles other Windows™-based applications, but is activated by touching
the TPC screen itself.
• Touch large "raised" rectangular buttons to activate a function such as turning the lamp or shutter on or off,
or to start a presentation, or select a different icon. Buttons may include text and/or an icon.
• To log on/off as a different user, touch the user icon in the bottom right corner.
• To go to a new menu, touch its tab at the top of the page.
• To go to a submenu, touch its tab located above the status bar.
• To see more options in pull-down menus, touch .
• To select an option in a list, touch the option text.
• To begin entering text such as serial numbers, touch the entry box.
• To "escape" without change from a pull-down list, touch menu background.
• Leaving a menu automatically saves its current settings.
• Touch checkboxes to toggle on or off.
• Touch to jump to the Status menu at any time.
All TPC menus and functions are illustrated and explained below.
NOTES: 1) Shown are SAMPLE menus only-your specific text and/or icons may vary according to settings
recorded in the password-protected menus. By default, the Main menu offers 32 pre-configured channels
(buttons). This may have been changed during installation at your site-consult the default setup card provided
with your projector. 2) If necessary, adjust TPC screen brightness and contrast via the Windows CE Display
Settings for this device (service password required). If your TPC is enclosed in a blue casing, use the small
knob on the back of the unit to adjust screen settings.

3.5.1 TPC MAIN MENU
FIGURE 3-5 MAIN MENU FUNCTIONS

NOTE: The small Status and User buttons in the bottom corners do not affect the projected display image.
TURN THE LAMP ON or OFF: To toggle the lamp on/off, press and hold the lamp button.
LOG ON: By default, with no login, the TPC will offer only the three general user menus intended for daily
operation. If you need to access additional functions offered in other menus, you must log on as a specific user
with more rights. Press the user level icon in the bottom right corner of any screen then enter the desired user
name and password in the text boxes provided.
OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOUSER (SHUTTER): To blank the display for instant picture muting and cooler
stand-by mode, press the "raised" douser (shutter) key showing a lens that is currently projecting light. Closing
the douser slides a shutter blade in front of the lens and reduces lamp power to 50% of its maximum rating. To
open the douser and restore previous lamp power, press the "depressed" douser key showing a darkened lens
with red warning circle.
MOVE THE AUXILIARY LENS: Toggle the current location of the optional auxiliary lens: position it either in
front of the primary lens to stretch the display horizontally, or move it aside.
NOTE: For complete operating instructions, refer to the information supplied with the Motorized Auxiliary
Lens Mount.
SEE TEST PATTERNS: To display a test pattern, press the Test Pattern button-repeat to cycle through
available test patterns. To return to a presentation, toggle the Test Pattern button again or select one of the 8
display buttons from a Main menu page.
NOTES: 1) Allow 2-3 seconds for each test pattern to appear. 2) The number and type of available test
patterns depends on what the installer loaded during installation. 3) Any user beyond the General User can
also choose from the complete range of test patterns offered in the password-protected Advanced menu.
START FEATURES or PRESENTATIONS: To start a different feature or presentation, press its corresponding
display button.

3.5.2 TPC STATUS MENU

NOTE: The Status:System menu described here is available to all users. For information about the
password-protected Status:Server, Status:Diag and Status:Interrogator menus, please see 3.10 Working
with Servers and Diagnostics.
Sample views of the Status:System menu are shown in Figure 3-6. Navigate the Status menu as you would
Windows Explorer or File Manager, expanding or compressing directories as desired by pressing the
corresponding small square buttons. To see more of the Status menu, drag the scroll bar up or down. This
menu updates approximately every 30 seconds.
INFORMATION INDICATORS: As shown in Figure 3-6, this blue symbol identifies basic informative data
describing the source connection, as well as certain non-critical historical/operational facts about the projector
and lamp. Such data does not trigger warnings or error conditions.
ENVIRONMENT / DIAGNOSTIC INDICATORS: The small colored indicators or "virtual LEDs" for
environmental and diagnostic information are green during normal operation. These indicators can change to
indicate a warning (yellow) or critical error (red) status.
• Yellow Warning indicates an unusual environmental condition. For example, a temperature may be elevated
and nearing its upper limit-correct the problem by checking all cooling systems, turning off the projector and
cooling if necessary (make sure to follow the standard shut-down procedure). Service may be required in
some cases.
• Red Error indicates that 1) the environment has a serious problem or 2) a specific electrical component is
not detected or does not appear to be functioning properly. In some cases, a module may need re-seating. In
other cases, service or replacement of a module may be required before the projector can resume normal
operation. Regardless, a red indicator requires immediate attention.
• Diagnostics showing a "?" icon indicate an unknown status caused by a problem during initialization. Try
re-booting the projector.
Note that if any of the small indicators are yellow or red, the main warning icon on the status bar changes
accordingly so that problems are also immediately detectable from other TPC menus. In addition, a full-screen
flashing red alarm window is triggered on the TPC for such problems as failed interlocks (mandatory), over-
temperature (optional), and fan problems (optional).

3.5.3 TPC ALARM WINDOW
FIGURE 3-7 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 3.2 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Table 3.2 Alarm Conditions and Solutions

ALARM CONDITION HOW TO CORRECT
Failed Interlock *
Lamp door is open Make sure the lamp door is securely shut.
Failed lamp fan Check for interference at vane switch. Make sure
the 220V line cord near Panel C (rear, underside) is
still plugged in. Replace fan.
Failed heat extractor (for external duct at May not be turned on. 600 cfm required. Replace-
the top of the projector) ment heat extractor may be required.
Failed auxiliary interlock (usually for fire Check auxiliary switch wiring in pedestal. Check
alarms or automation systems) the external controlling device.
Failed high-security lock (tamper Lock the projector lid. If still failed, double-check
switch)(cinema use will be disabled) the high-security lock itself, plus all related harness-
ing. Make sure a "Type 3" Interface Board is
installed and that you are using main s/w v10.0.30
or higher.
Over-temperature
Card cage is too hot Power down & cool projector. Ambient temperature
may be too high. Check air filter and fan.
Prism is too hot Power down & cool projector. Reduce lamp power.
Ambient temperature may be too high. Check air fil-
ter and sensor. Check liquid cooler fan.
Integrator is too hot Power down & cool projector. Reduce lamp power.
Ambient temperature may be too high. Check air fil-
ter and sensor. Check liquid cooler fan.
Red DMD is too hot Power down & cool projector. Reduce lamp power.
Ambient temperature may be too high. Check fluid
flow and level. Check air filter. Check liquid cooler
fan.
Blue DMD is too hot Reduce lamp power. Ambient temperature may be
too high. Check fluid flow and level. Check air fil-
ter. Check liquid cooler fan.
SSM is too hot Power down & 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 nor-
mally. If the over-temp recurs, there is a cooling
problem in the ballast that may require service.
Check ballast fan.
Other Fans Too Slow

A primary fan is too slow or stopped Replacement fan may be required.
Card cage fan is too slow or stopped Replacement fan may be required
Laminar airflow is too slow or stopped Replacement LAD filter or fan may be required
Lamp Problems
Lamp Life has expired Replacement of the lamp is recommended

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
ALARM CONDITION HOW TO CORRECT

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, make sure the 220V line cord
near Panel C (rear, 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 elec-
tronics (I2C). Check LVPS/Proc. voltage.
* 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.
RESPONDING TO AN ALARM WINDOW

Press the acknowledge button in order to hide the alarm window and access other TPC menus, and try to solve
the problem as shown in the right column of Table 3.2.
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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.5.4 TPC ABOUT MENU
FIGURE 3-8 ABOUT MENU (SAMPLE)

The About menu lists which versions of critical components are installed in the projector. As shown in Figure
3-8, this is a read-only menu for all users, and includes a "stop" button for installers/service to exit TPC
software entirely and return to Windows™ .
UNDERSTANDING VERSIONS IN YOUR PROJECTOR

Consult the About menu to determine the current level of a hardware or software component installed in your
projector. Upgrading any of these components requires a Christie service technician.
TOUCH PANEL - Determines the software functionality of the Touch Panel Controller (TPC), its menu
language, and its operating system.
SSM - Indicates which System Supervisor Module is installed (H/W) and what SSM software is present (Main
and Boot portions).
ENGINE - Indicates the main processing software of the projector. This is a summary of the Interface,
Processor and Formatter Interface entries that appear below it in the About menu-i.e., any change to one of
these elements would automatically denote a new Engine version. NOTE: The remaining individual red, green
and blue formatters are independent of Engine version.
3.5.5 TPC CUSTOM MENU

NOTE: Password-protected; Requires Advanced, Admin, or Installer rights.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The TPC's four Custom menus enable installers (service), administrators or
advanced users to tailor projector processing as they wish for any type of incoming source, including 3D
material, and collect these settings into a unique channel that any user can select at the Main menu. Up to 32
channels can be defined.
• Custom Page-1 and Page-2: These two menus consist of numerous display settings that can be adjusted as
desired, then defined collectively as a custom setup or channel. Each defined channel then appears as a but-

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
ton on the Main menu where any user can select it, providing a reliable way to quickly and correctly change
the on-screen display to suit the source content. Alternatively, if a pre-defined Projector Configuration File
(PCF) has been supplied with distributed content (rare) and the "Use PCF" checkbox checked, those Custom
options which are already defined in the PCF (Source, Target Color, Color Space, Gamma and LUT-CLUT)
disappear from the Custom menus and are protected from further modification. The channel defined in such
a case will thus be based on 1) the display settings in the supplied PCF and 2) the remaining Custom param-
eters that are not contained in a PCF: the physical location of the input connection (such as a cinema port or
DVI port), the screen format, data format, and processing path.
• Custom 3D Control: This menu provides numerous controls for adjusting and synchronizing incoming 3D
signals (always dual L/R HD-SDI signals at the SMPTE A and B ports) with each other and with external 3D
equipment such as screens, emitters and glasses.
• Custom Lamp: This menu provides controls for maintaining consistent light output over time or setting a
precise power level for the lamp.
SAVING or DELETING: Changes in the Custom menu are saved when you leave the menu. Or, to delete one
or more channels, use the trash bin "Delete" button-note a caution dialog box will appear first.
As shown in Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10, clearing or checking the "Use PCF" checkbox determines which
Custom settings are available for use.
FIGURE 3-9 CUSTOM:PAGE-1 MENU: USING PRE-DEFINED CONFIGURATIONS

USE A PCF OR NOT? The availability of functions in the Custom menu depends on whether you choose to
utilize pre-defined configuration files (PCFs) already downloaded to projector memory (Figure 3-9), or
whether you prefer to implement your own settings from within the Custom menu (Figure 3-10). Although
pre-defined PCFs were originally intended as part of content from the distributor so that the intended image
quality is not compromised, this practice is rare. Instead, PCFs may be created using DCP Librarian and
downloaded to the projector. Most applications such as cinema, post production and "alternative" or "non-
cinema" displays require that one or more display parameters be individually adjusted-clear the "Use PCF"
checkbox.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-10 CUSTOM:PAGE-1 MENU-CREATING CUSTOM PCFS AND OTHER SETTINGS
FIGURE 3-11 CUSTOM:PAGE-2 MENU

USE CINEMA PROCESSING OR NOT? The cinema checkbox on the Custom Page-1 menu determines if the
incoming signal is processed using the projector's full cinema path, which enables image scaling and color
correction but restricts resolution-and-frequency combinations. If unchecked, most of the projector's Processor
Board functionality is by-passed-this disables scaling and color correction, but is compatible with higher
resolution-and-frequency combinations. Generally, use non-cinema processing with DVI sources having high
resolution-and-frequency combinations. See examples in Table 3.3.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Table 3.3 Processing Path for DVI Sources (Examples)

RESOLUTION VERT. FREQ. TYPE OF PROCESSING
1920 x 1080 < 48 Hz
Cinema = use full cinema processing
2048 x 1080 < 48 Hz

Cinema = use full cinema processing
1920 x 1080 49-77 Hz

Cinema = use non-cinema processing
2048 x 1080 49-77 Hz

Cinema = use non-cinema processing
NOTE: See Table 5.1 for a more complete list.

IMPORTANT: Attempting to use cinema processing when the incoming DVI vertical frequency is too high
can cause a TPC start-up error. Turn cinema option OFF, then cycle power off/on.

CUSTOM MENU OPTIONS

Input Identifies/sets the location/connection of the current source, such as cinema ports
A or B, or a DVI graphics port. Note that use of the twin and dual link DVI
options requires special hardware. See Section 5.
Data Format Specifies the source type (8-10-12-bit) and whether or not it is packed. The pro-
jector will process the incoming signal according to the data format selected here.
Note that available data formats depend on which projector input is selected, and
will reset to a default value if an input has not yet been selected. Use of DVI-dual
requires a separate adapter at the DVI connectors, and use of DVI-twin requires a
special source. Data format settings are not included in a PCF.
Auxiliary Lens In Sets whether or not the optional auxiliary lens is used with this channel.
Screen Identifies/sets display area, masking (cropping), and expected lens for the current
source. Choices are pre-defined using DCP Librarian or the TPC Admin menus.
Screen settings are not included in a PCF.
* Source Identifies/sets the expected incoming source resolution and aspect ratio such as
"1920 x1080" or "Mk7 default". Choices are pre-defined using DCP Librarian or
the TPC Admin menu.
Measured Color For a given channel/source, select the desired MCGD file (representing native
"uncorrected" colors) to use as a reference for calculating target color processing.
Default = OnSite. See also Admin:Gamut menu.
* Target Color Identifies/sets the special color processing called Target Color Gamut Data
established for a given presentation. Default=P7V2 Theatre.
* Color Space Identifies/sets the method of color decoding for the current source.o Default =
RGB for all DVI sourceso Default = YCbCr for all cinema sources (i.e., SMPTE
A or B ports)
* Gamma Identifies/sets the desired gamma (a.k.a. "de-gamma") correction needed for
proper tonal range of the source material-for example, a grayscale test pattern will
be neutral and smoothly graduated. In theatres, the only gamma setting currently
needed is PL2.6.
* LUT-CLUTA "Complex Look-up Table". No information available.
Pull-Down Identifies/sets the frame sequence to achieve a target frequency or time relation-
Sequence ship with another signal.
Pull-Down Offset Identifies/sets the frame offset.
SMPTE Field Bit Identifies/sets field offset polarity.
* These components are part of any pre-defined PCF (Projector Configuration File) that controls image processing for a given source.
When the "Use PCF" checkbox is checked ("), these components disappear from the Custom menu and are protected from further
change.
USING THE CUSTOM 3D CONTROL MENU

NOTES: 1) 3D functionality requires an EFIB (Enhanced Formatter Interface Board) as well as a Series 1
Interface board. Consult the About menu. 2) Connect your 3D HD-SDI source signals to cinema A and B
ports (dual). 3) Assumes software v8.0 or higher.4) Use of GPIO in 3D will clear macro assignment for GPIO.
Custom 3D Control menu options are summarized in Figure 3-12 and Table 3.5. Enable the 3D checkbox
in order to 1) enable 3D display and adjustment parameters 2) automatically configure the Input and Data

GPO is connected to your 3D peripherals such as emit-
ters, glasses, etc.)
3D Input Reference Defines how 3D stereo sync input is supplied (cur-
rently ports A and B only). See "NOTES" below.
Input Frame Dominance Defines frame order (L-R or R-L) required for 3D per-
spective. Correct setting ensures smooth motions, and
depends entirely on the original source mastering. See
"NOTES" below.
L/R Display Reference Always :Not Used" unless a separate 3D stereo sync
input os at GPIO connector. See "Notes" below.
L/R Output Polarity Keeps 3D stereo sync output the same as input (true),
or reversed (inverted). See "NOTES" below.
Frame Rate N:M Ratio of total #frames displayed to #frames forming
complete data. Increase to reduce flicker in displays <
96 Hz. Max. recommended setting for 2048 x 1080
displays = 5:2. Can be higher in smaller displays, or
decreased if incoming signal is already high enough to
prevent flicker. See "NOTES" below.
Input GPI Select "None" when 3D stereo sync input is part of
source signal at ports A and B. Use GPI 1-7 only if
sync input is supplied to GPIO port.
Display GPI Always "None" unless 3D stereo sync input is at GPIO
connector.
Output GPO Define your GPO sync output for 3D device (glasses
or z-screen polarization), using to 1-7 depending on
wiring.
Dark Time Adj Create a blank time interval between L/R frames to
allow for glasses on/off. Helps synchronize the output
to the viewing.
Output Delay (Time) Offset (in µ) 3D stereo sync output in relation to dark
time interval. Positive offset = delay, negative offset =
start early. See "NOTES" below.
L/R INPUT REFERENCE NOTES:

Select the option matching your source type, and how the 3D sync is supplied:
• A=LEFT, B=RIGHT: Select if your 3D source provides separate left and right data via 2 cables at the A and
B SMPTE ports. This assumes the 3D stereo sync signal is included with the image data inputs rather than
supplied separately at the GPIO port.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
• WHITE LINE or BLUE LINE: Select only if using a single 3D input signal in which an embedded white or
blue line at the bottom of each frame identifies left vs. right, and an additional separate 3D stereo sync input
at the GPIO port is not present. Short line=Left, long line=Right. NOTE: Requires single 3D input. Not cur-
rently supported.
• ASSIGNED GPI: Select only if using a single 3D signal requiring a separate 3D stereo sync input at the
GPIO. NOTE: Requires single 3D input. Not currently supported.
L/R DISPLAY REFERENCE NOTES:

Select the option matching your L/R Input Reference, above.
• If your 3D source provides separate left and right data via 2 cables at the A and B SMPTE ports, simply select
the desired frame order (either L-R or R-L).
• If your single 3D source provides a separate sync connected at the GPIO, or if the single 3D source includes
an embedded 3D sync signal code, the Input Frame Dominance choice should match that of the L/R Input
Reference (default) or, if necessary, be inverted. NOTE: Requires single input; not currently supported.
L/R OUTPUT POLARITY NOTES:
• TRUE: 3D L/R sync output (from GPO) will match L/R sync input.
• INVERTED: 3D L/R sync output (from GPO) will be the opposite of sync input (left becomes right, and right
become left).
FRAME RATE N:M NOTES:

Increase the display frame rate as necessary to reduce flicker from your
source(s). These "N:M" ratios define how many frames to display per number
of frames that form 1 complete image. For all 3D use, the bottom value is 2,
indicating that two frames-left and right-are combined into every complete
display frame. For non-3D, it is 1 frame. Set to the highest rate possible without image cropping.
FIGURE 3-13 EXAMPLES OF FRAME RATE N:M

For example, when processing typical dual (L/R) 3D signals of 24Hz, a Frame Rate N:M setting of 4:2 will
generate 4 frames of output for every 2 frames of input at a final frame rate of 96 Hz. For any source, keep the

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
final frame rate less than that of the projector (which is 67 Hz for full 2048 x 1080 resolution). Generally,
incoming 24Hz signals can be increased by a maximum factor of 5:2-see Figure 3-9.
DARK TIME and OUTPUT DELAY NOTES:
The "dark time" between incoming L/R frames provides a brief interval of non-image time-in microseconds
(µs)-for your switching device (such as shutters in glasses) to complete its switch. Ideally, when this interval is
properly set and exactly suits the speed of your device, neither eye sees image data intended for the other eye.
This helps to prevent color artifacts and ghosting while ensuring that each eye sees all intended data.
NOTE: Because the Dark Time interval essentially increases frame rate, increasing this setting beyond its
range for the current frame rate factor will cause image break-up. 2048 x 1080 displays may be cropped.
Likewise, a setting less than the minimum is not supported, and will simply revert to the minimum interval.
The Output Delay setting shifts the 3D sync in relation to the Dark Time interval, starting each frame slightly
earlier (-) or later (+). Adjust only as necessary-too much offset can cause "bleed-through" where each eye sees
some data that is intended for the other.
CUSTOM / LAMP MENU: As shown in Figure 3-14, the Lamp menu provides controls for maintaining a
specific light output over time (LiteLOC™) or setting a precise power level for the lamp.
FIGURE 3-14 CUSTOM: LAMP MENU

CUSTOM: LAMP MENU OPTIONS (SUMMARY)
Lamp Per Channel When enabled, LiteLOC setting is applied to the specified channel. When disabled,
all channels will use the global LiteLOC setting.
Enable Maintains a chosen light level at the screen over time - the lamp ballast will gradu-
ally increase power to the lamp as necessary, until it reaches the maximum level
possible for the installd lamp. To disable LiteLOC temporarily or permanently,
clear the LiteLOC "enable" checkbox or adjust Lamp Power directly.
Lamp Power Indicates what percentage of power (appropriate for the installed lamp) to supply to
the lamp, automatically overriding any LiteLOC setting that may be in effect. This
causes the bar graph to rise or fall, but the LiteLOC line and "set" value will not
change unless "Set" is pressed (defining a new LiteLOC setting).
Set With the desired light output measured at the screen, press "set" to automatically
enable LiteLOC. The current brightness level will be maintained as long as possi-
ble. NOTE: Arbitrary units shown here, not footlamberts or lumens.
TPC ADVANCED MENU

All password-protected (requires Installer, Admin or Advanced User rights), except for the New Lamp button
accessible by "Operator" login.
The TPC Advanced menu consists of five different submenus-Preferences, Lamp, Lamp History, Test
Patterns and User-that enable installers, administrators and advanced users to define numerous system
operating parameters, load and/or display test patterns, work with lamp settings, and set up users and their TPC
access rights.

3.5.6 TPC ADMIN SUBMENUS
FIGURE 3-21 ACCESS RIGHTS FOR "ADMIN" MENUS

NOTE: Password-protected; Administrators, installers and service technicians only.
The seven Admin submenus offer a broad range of options used primarily for defining how the projector will
respond to incoming sources in the given environment, or for adjusting a major system parameter affecting
overall performance. Five of the Admin submenus-Source, Screen, Gamut, IP Config and GPIO-are

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
available to both administrators and installers. Two others-General and Lamp-are restricted to installers
(service) only. See Figure 3-21.
Other users cannot access Admin.
ADMIN/SOURCE SUBMENU
Incoming sources can vary widely in their current resolution and original aspect ratio. The projector must be
able to respond to the myriad of possible combinations, projecting full images of the desired size, content, and
proportion in every case. This consistency is achieved by creating a variety of source files in projector
memory, each of which indicates the following for the projector:
• Incoming resolution (#pixels across, #pixels top-to-bottom)
• Offset desired (i.e., amount of data to discard. Rare.)
• Desired aspect ratio (i.e., the original display format to be recovered)
Although in rare cases the content distributor may include this source information as part of a pre-defined PCF
(applied by using the PCF in the projector), alternatively these variables can be defined either in the Source
submenu in the TPC as described here, or by using DCP Librarian. With a good collection of assorted source
files available in memory, the proper file can then be quickly chosen from within the Custom menu for
implementation in the projector whenever a matching input signal is encountered.
Note that for any source, the projector relies on Source file settings as well as Screen file settings. See also
Admin: Screen menu.
FIGURE 3-22 ADMIN: SOURCE MENU FUNCTIONS
Table 3.12 Admin: Source Menu Options

ADMIN / SOURCE MENU OPTIONS
Resolution Activate, then record the x/y resolution of your incoming signal, such as 2048
(x) and 1080 (y), or 1920 (x) and 1080 (y). Note that resolution must match
the incoming signal format (assuming you want to display all of it), and may
differ from the original resolution that you want to recover. See Resolution
Notes below.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
ADMIN / SOURCE MENU OPTIONS

Offset Activate, then record how much incoming data you wish to discard, essen-
tially delaying the "starting" point for processing. Leave at "0" to process all
available data. See Offset Notes below.
Aspect Ratio Enter the aspect ratio of the original cinema format you are trying to recover,
usually 2.39 or 1.85. Because the incoming signal may be "pre-squeezed", the
aspect ratio entered here will not necessarily match that of the incoming
aspect ratio. See Aspect Ratio Notes below.
Slidebars Adjust resolution and/or offset as desired.
Create Source Save current resolution, offset, and aspect ration settings as a Source file that
will be accessible and applied from within the Custom menu.
Restore Cancel new (unsaved) source settings of resolution/offset/aspect ratio.
Test Apply current settings to the image without saving.
RESOLUTION NOTES:
To capture/process all of the incoming data, enter the full resolution of the incoming source material or leave
at "0" (default). Regardless of whether or not the original material has been "squeezed" for use with an
auxiliary lens, enter the current incoming resolution. This may not necessarily match the resolution of the
projector or the original filmed material, depending on how the source was formatted before distribution. For
example, an original 2048 x 1080 native source supplied pre-squeezed as 1920 x 1080 requires a source file
indicating this incoming 1920 x 1080 resolution.
To capture only a portion of an incoming image full-screen-like a "zoom" function-, enter the approximate
horizontal width and vertical height defining the area of the image you wish to zoom in on. The projector will
automatically scale a center area of this size so that it fills the projector's 2048 x 1080 display, and remaining
data is ignored. You may have to experiment with the values to accurately zoom in on a precise area, and you
must also define offset (see below) if you want to zoom in on an area other than the center.
OFFSET NOTES:
Offsetting an image is achieved by defining how much horizontal width and vertical height to discard. Offset
coordinates can be particularly useful when zooming in on a portion of the image-they establish the top left
corner location of the zoom area, with Resolution (above) determining the size of the area. Leave offset at "0"
(default) to process all incoming data or to zoom in at the center of the image, or set to a positive or negative
value as described:

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
A positive "x/y" value discards image data from

top and/or left.
A negative "x/y" value discards image data from

bottom and/or right.
ASPECT RATIO NOTES: Table 3.13 lists the sixteen most common source setups, which are selectable from
the Main menu pages. In the event your source material is pre-scaled or compressed, enter the desired aspect
ratio. Adding the 1.25x anamorphic or 1.26x wide converter lens will widen a "squeezed" image back to its
original "scope" aspect ratio. For sources that are not pre-squeezed, aspect ratio can be left at "0".

ADMIN/SCREEN SUBMENU
The Screen menu defines 1) what portion of the projector's display panel you wish to use, and 2) what
cropping is needed to disguise possible keystoning or other geometric aberrations. Once saved, a screen file
can be used with any incoming source as desired-screen data is not included in a PCF, and is independent of
Source settings. Consider screen files as convenient compensations for physical limitations in the environment.
You will typically need one or two screen files per site.

PRESENTATION NOTES: Presentation points define what region of the projector's available display area
responds to incoming data. By default, the projector will use its complete display area, scaling the incoming
data as necessary. If, for some reason, you want to limit the display area, enter the desired "upper left" and
"lower right" Presentation coordinates (or adjust with slidebars). You can define a smaller rectangular area in
which the left and right top corners will always share the same "y" coordinate (as will the left and right bottom
corners), and the top and bottom left corners will share the same "x" coordinate (as will the top and bottom
right corners). Thus upper right and lower left coordinates are not available to define the area. Incoming data

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
will then automatically resize to fill the reduced rectangular area defined by the new coordinates, and any
display pixels outside of this area remain off (black).
FIGURE 3-24 SCREEN PRESENTATION COORDINATES

NOTE: Presently only a rectangular area can be defined, as shown above. A trapezoidal adjustment or
"electronic keystone" with sloped sides is not possible.
CROPPING NOTES: Cropping is the digital equivalent of filing aperture plates in a film projector to perfect
the image "square-ness". For example, if the bottom of the image appears slightly wider than the top, activate
the bottom left or right cropping point in the Screen menu and change the coordinates to crop or "bring in" the
corner(s) of the image slightly-either enter the specific coordinates, or adjust with slidebars. Note that this is
cropping, not electronic keystone adjustment. In Figure 3-25, cropping simply corrects a display that overlaps
the available screen.
FIGURE 3-25 SIMPLE CROPPING EXAMPLE

In most cases, cropping assumes that the entire projector display area is in use, thus the coordinates initially
define pixel locations on the projector's 2048 x 1080 display area. Images that are significantly smaller in

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
format may actually lie beyond the range of one or more cropping adjustments, thus you will not see evidence
of cropping on the edges.
To correct a "bowed" edge so that it appears straight in the display, activate one of the cropping "bow" points
between two corner points and adjust the slidebar or enter the specific x or y value desired.
LETTERBOX NOTES: Letterboxing ensures that all image data is displayed and its aspect ratio is maintained.
Use letterbox for virtually all normal operation. It ensures that all incoming data will be displayed within your
defined presentation area, and nothing will be discarded. If desired, any "black bars" (unused pixels) could
then be cropped off using the cropping control. Although disabling the letterbox control also fills the defined
presentation area, any extra data beyond this area-whether top-and-bottom or left-and- right-will be discarded.
NOTE: Keep Letterbox checked for all cinema presentations.
FIGURE 3-26 LETTERBOX VS. NON-LETTERBOX
ADMIN/GAMUT SUBMENU
The primary function of the color Gamut menu is to ensure that the projector can achieve any specific known
and pre-defined industry color performance standard-called a target color-within its current environment, and
within a desired tolerance. In this menu you can record measurements for currently projected "uncorrected"
colors, modify or create custom Target Color Gamut Data (TCGD) files for new color gamut performance,
and set how closely you want to match the target white.
Recording the projector's uncorrected color performance is typically completed as a final step-like a
calibration-after installation. For this one-time procedure, the installer measures initial "native" (i.e.,
uncorrected) colors at the screen, enters the data as Measured Color Gamut Data on the left side of the
Gamut menu, and typically saves an MCGD file called "OnSite". By default, the projector will use this
MCGD to calculate-and implement-precise processing modifications needed to achieve any target color gamut
on screen, essentially compensating for the type of port window, screen, lens, light output, ambient light and
other current environmental factors influencing on-screen colors. These various industry standards for color
performance (TCGDs) will then be consistently achieved from source-to-source and from site-to-site. If the
environment degrades or changes (such as if an auxiliary lens is swapped on and off), or if an internal optical
module is replaced, create one or more new MCGDs, naming them as desired. To use an MCGD file as the
reference file for target color processing (such as with a certain source and/or lens), select it in the Custom
menu.

not be cancelled in the future except by another over-write. If desired, create
other MCGD files to reference under specific conditions and for specific
sources or channels. See Create MCGD Notes, below.
Create TCGD Save current settings to a new TCGD. NOTE: Industry-standard TCGD
files are write-protected and cannot be modified unless saved under a differ-
ent filename. For theatre use, there should be little need to create custom
TCGDs, as the pre-defined TCGDs are used instead.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
MEASURED (MCGD) NOTES: For each color, record the native "uncorrected" x/y color coordinates measured
at the screen. These values simply represent the currently viewable primary colors, and collectively (when
saved) will define the raw color performance "reference point" for this projector in the current environment.
Each radio button activates the corresponding full-field YCbCr test pattern of this native color so that
measurements can be taken. For example, to measure the red coordinates, click the "Red" radio button to
change the screen display to full-field red, and measure coordinates at the screen. Repeat for each color, and
record them in the nearby x/y text boxes. After all colors have been measured and recorded, select Pattern Off
to leave the special test pattern mode. To cancel changes and return to the previous MCGD coordinates, leave
the menu without saving.
CREATE MCGD NOTES: This button collects the current color values entered for "Measured (MCGD)",
where you can save them as a new "OnSite" MCGD file or as a different MCGD file with a different name.
Note that a new "OnSite" overwrites any previously defined "OnSite" file, and will be the default reference
point for all future color processing-the old "OnSite" file cannot be recovered. By default, the projector will
refer to "OnSite" data to calculate the corrections needed to achieve a known target color performance
standard in the future. However, if the site requires more than one set of native MCGD values (such as when an
auxiliary lens is swapped in or out), you can create a new MCGD file with a different file name. Each setup
(channel) can then use any desired MCGD file as the basis for the color corrections needed for a target color.
MCGD files are chosen in the Custom menu.
NOTE: Once created, user-created MCGD files can be deleted only by using Christie's licensed DCP
Librarian software.
IMPORTANT: "Create MCGD" is a permanent over-write of any previous MCGD "OnSite" file, and will
define new default color processing in the projector.
TARGET (TCGD) and CREATE TCGD NOTES: Upon opening the Gamut menu, the "Target (TCGD)" color
fields show the corresponding x/y color coordinates defined for the current target color gamut in use. You can
create a new custom target by defining different coordinates for one or more TCGD colors (or simply by
changing the tolerance state), and saving as a new TCGD file. Note, however, that industry-defined TCGD
standards, such as P7v2 and others, are write-protected and cannot be changed-modifications to such a target
must be saved under a new TCGD filename entirely. Once you have created a new TCGD file, it will appear in
the Custom menu, where it can be selected for use in the display.
NOTE: For most applications, TCGD values are used simply to verify that displayed colors actually do match
the standard-i.e., you can measure each color at the screen and compare its coordinates to those appearing in
the TCGD fields to confirm that the projected colors are accurate. For special applications in which you want
to create a unique target color standard, enter new TCGD coordinates as desired, and then save as a new
TCGD file. Apply as usual from the Custom menu.
GAIN NOTES: Gain indicates the luminance (a.k.a. brightness or intensity) of each color as compared to full-
on white, ranging from 0 (0%) to 2 (100%). You may want to modify one or more gain values to precisely
match color levels in other adjacent displays or to accommodate a studio's internal color management
technique. Gain would rarely, if ever, be adjusted for theatre use.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
WHITE TOLERANCE NOTES: The chosen target for white

("White" x/y) coordinates under "Target (TCGD") may be
relaxed, if desired, by establishing a small "tolerance box"
around it. This box represents four coordinates (0-1-2-3) plotted
on a 1931CIE Chromaticity graph, and may vary from TCGD to
TCGD. If desired, define new tolerance coordinates for the
current TCGD to increase or decrease this tolerance area, or to
change its shape or location-larger boxes relax the tolerance,
reducing the loss of light caused by precise matching.
Clear the checkbox if the projector's whites must precisely
match the target white point (typical for telecine use) defined for
the current TCGD. If this match can be anywhere within the
tolerance box (typical for theatre use), enter a checkmark. The
checkbox status is saved with the TCGD. Keep in mind that some light is usually discarded for an exact match,
resulting in a dimmer image-it is recommended that you enable the tolerance box for all applications requiring
maximum brightness, such as in theatres. Do not enable the tolerance box if exact color performance is more
crucial than overall image brightness, such as in telecine applications.
RESTORE NOTES: This button enables you to return to the Gamut menu settings that were present when you
opened the menu, however the precise behavior depends on whether you are working with measured (MCGD)
or target (TCGD) settings.
• To restore MCGD settings: The Restore button is disabled unless you have used the Test button. To cancel
new MCGD settings and return to the previous MCGD settings, the new settings must be tested (via Test but-
ton) but not yet saved. If not yet tested, you can either leave the menu and cancel the settings as requested by
the dialogue box, or attempt to save but cancel out of it. If you have already saved a new OnSite file (by
pressing the Create MCGD), the old OnSite file cannot be restored.
• To restore a TCGD FILE: Press the Restore button any time before saving.
ADMIN/IP CONFIG SUBMENU

Use the IP Config menu when you need to define or change the Ethernet settings-i.e., network address-of the
projector and/or its TPC or if you want to configure SNMP (remote monitoring). NOTE: Record any new
settings on page 5 of this manual.

DLP vs. TPC vs. Select which device address you wish to see or set. DLP = projector,
SNMP TPC - Touch Panel Controller, SNMP = The Internet standard proto-
col developed to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers,
switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network
administrators to manage network performance, find and solve net-
work problems, and plan for network growth.
Change Config Enter a checkmark to edit the Ethernet Configuration text boxes
defining the device's address.
Host Name Enter a name for the projector (optional)
Obtain address from Allow the projector's IP address to be auto-assigned by your net-

Specify a Static IP Enter the full valid and unique address supplied by the network
Address administrator for using the device at this site.
IP Address When DLP or TPC selected: The first three octets of the IP address
identify the network to which the device belongs; the last octet iden-
tifies the specific device (i.e., the projector or the TPC). Keep in
mind that if you change the node (any of the first 3 octets), the device
will then belong to a different network and will not interact until the
other device is also changed accordingly. When SNMP selected:
Enter specific IP address where trap information (device status noti-
fication, ie. fan failure) is sent.
Subnet Mask All IP Addresses for a network belong to the same Subnet Mask as
defined by the network administrator.

structure( 11273), new structure = 25766
*Changes in the IP Config menu automatically change the projector IP address appearing in the
Admin:General menu, which identifies which projector the TPC is currently set to control.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR PROJECTOR'S IP (NETWORK) ADDRESS: For a stand-alone projector, its
default Ethernet (network) settings are fine and should not be changed. In a projector that is to be networked,
however, this default address will likely be invalid for the network at a given site. Consult the site's network
administrator to determine the necessary settings for compatibility with the local network, then use the TPC to
define these new settings in the projection head (NOTES: 1) password-protected; requires a Christie installer
login. 2) projector can be on the network during these changes, if desired.):

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
1. Select the "Projector" button and enter a checkmark in the "Change Config"
checkbox. This will enable editing of the Projector Ethernet Configuration text boxes.
2. Enter the projector's new valid and unique "IP
Address" desired. The last octet can be any value
from 10-99.
3. Enter the projector's new "Subnet Mask"
address settings required.
4. Select the "Apply" button to implement the new address

settings in the projector. A caution will remind you that the
address must be unique and valid for the site-if you are unsure,
cancel and consult again with the network administrator.
Otherwise, click "OK" to finish.
NOTE: The new projector address will also be implemented in the
Admin:General menu, so that the TPC will look for this projector
when you have finished setting up all network changes.
5. When a new address is implemented in the projector, another
dialogue box will remind you that if your settings moved the
projector to a different network (most common), the TPC will
no longer be able to control the projector. You must therefore
immediately change the TPC Ethernet configuration if you have
changed either or both of the following:
Ignore any “Cancel” buttons that may appear
in this dialogue box
• Any of the first 3 octets of the "IP Address" (i.e., the network node)
• The Subnet Mask
Be sure to change the TPC address before re-booting the projector.
WARNING
For both devices-projector and TPC-the Subnet Mask and the first 3 octets of their IP addresses must match,
otherwise the devices are on different networks and cannot communicate
Do not re-boot until this match is confirmed.
You do not have to change the TPC Ethernet configuration if you have changed only the last octet of the
projector's "IP Address". In this case (rare), both devices still belong to same network and will be able to
communicate with each other.
6. Change the TPC Ethernet network configuration (below).
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR TPC'S IP ADDRESS: Select "TPC" at the top of the IP Config menu, then change
the TPC's IP address in the same manner as you changed the projector's address.
WARNING

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
The first 3 octets of the IP address must match those for the projector. See Steps 2 and 3, above.
NOTE: This is the simplified explanation of valid addressing. A trained network administrator may expand the
range of valid addresses.
To implement the address changes in your projector and TPC, re-boot.
IMPORTANT: Do not forget to re-boot the projector.
ADMIN/GENERAL AND ADMIN/LAMP SUBMENUS

NOTE: Installer login required.
From within the Admin menu, an installer can access three additional submenus not available to any other
user. These submenus are primarily for defining critical system parameters such as the projector's IP address,
lamp type, and user rights for remote access and data logging. Installers can also record minimum and
maximum footlambert readings to define a range from which other TPC lamp readings are interpolated, and
they can set whether Status menu temperatures appear in Celsius (default) or Fahrenheit. A typical
Admin:General submenu appears below.
FIGURE 3-30 ADMIN:GENERAL MENU FUNCTIONS
Table 3.17 Summary of Admin: General Menu Functions

ADMIN:GENERAL MENU FUNCTIONS
Projector IP Address Determines which projector the TPC controls, and always terminates in 10-99.
All four values (octets) must be valid for your site. For example, perhaps you can
use the default 192.168.206.10 to control a single-projector installation. Then use
192.168.206.11 to control a second projector at that site, 192.168.206.12 to con-
trol a third projector, and so on. NOTE: This menu does NOT define the projec-
tor's address!

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
ADMIN:GENERAL MENU FUNCTIONS

Image Orientation Define the orientation of the screen relative to the projector.
Celsius Display Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature display for Status menu.
Remote Access Define whether all users can access TPC functions remotely or not at all, or
whether a login is required.
Data Logging Define the extent of activity to record in an Ethernet-accessible TPC data log
(default=Errors only). A good data log can be helpful when troubleshooting, but
use with caution- "Detailed" logging will slow TPC responses. Note that when
the memory card becomes full, logging continues and simply writes over the old-
est entries.
Error Message When enabled, an error message will be sent via Ethernet whenever an alarm con-
Enabled dition is encountered.

3.5.9 SELECTING A DISPLAY (STARTING A PRESENTATION)

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
NOTES: 1) For manual operation (i.e., non-automated). 2) In order to use the TPC software originally shipped with
the projector, the installer typically connects a laptop and uses Christie's DCP Librarian setup software to download
all necessary configuration files to the projector for use at the TPC.
1. To change to a new source-i.e., a new presentation or display-do the following:
2. Make sure the CP2000-SB and TPC are both powered up and operating normally
3. On the Touch Panel Controller (TPC), select the Main menu tab
4. On either of the Main menu pages, press the desired display button-the image will update accordingly
See Figure 3-33.
3.5.10 ADMIN/GPIO SUBMENU

Use the Admin:GPIO menu to configure GPI macros for LAMP ON/OFF, DOUSER OPEN/CLOSE and
AUXILIARY LENS IN/OUT and also GPO macros for LAMP STATE, DOUSER STATE, AUXILIARY
LENS STATE and SYSTEM HEALTH STATUS. NOTES: 1) Only GPIO 1-5 can be programmed. 2) Use of
GPIO for 3D will automatically un-program any other use for that pin.
FIGURE 3-32 ADMIN: GPIO MENU FUNCTIONS

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-33 SOURCE SELECTION ON MAIN MENU (SAMPLE)

NOTES: 1) Depending on your expected needs, your installer may or may not have configured all sixteen
buttons for use. 2) Buttons may have any icon and/or text.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BUTTON IS SELECTED? For any display button on the two-page Main menu,
the projector interprets incoming signal data according to one of sixteen user-selectable display setups defined
at the time of CP2000-SB installation (and/or with each subsequent release of a new digital cinema feature)
and stored in projector memory. Each display setup consists of Projector Configuration File (PCF)
information as well as additional processing, display parameters and screen settings optimized for a particular
cinema feature or alternative content source. For proper processing and display of a source, press pre-assigned
display button (see Figure 3-33) corresponding to the setup you wish to use-the button will then appear
recessed and the projected image will update according to the display setup assigned to this button. No further
adjustment of the image should be necessary. To change to a different presentation, select a different display
button.
CINEMA VS. NON-CINEMA SOURCES - Typically the display setups for digital cinema servers are carefully
configured when the projector is installed so that presentations will be automatically optimized and require no
further adjustment. A user need only select the relevant display button. Displays of non-cinema or other
"alternative content", such graphics or video sources connected to DVI ports, are also usually pre-configured
for easy selection. Consult Section 5 for details about non-cinema applications and display adjustments.
OTHER METHODS OF SOURCE SELECTION

Depending on your installation, you may be able to select a source via communication from a different
controller.
Regardless of how the display file is selected, the feature will appear on screen according to the specific
display settings recorded in that file. If the screen display does not appear as expected, this indicates that the
display setup is incorrectly configured for the incoming source. Try a different display file. If the image is still
incorrect, the display setup may first have to be re-configured with new settings. Contact the trained operator
responsible for updating display setups.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.5.11ERRORS AND ALARMS

Encountering the following conditions will always trigger a flashing red alarm window at the TPC:
• ACTIVATED SAFETY INTERLOCK-caused by an open lamp door, a failed extractor or lamp fan, or an
open fire alarm switch. For any safety interlock breach, the lamp ballast will immediately stop powering the
lamp.
• TAMPER DETECTION-caused by unlocking the projector lid. Failure is also logged and prevents display of
incoming CineLink®2-encrypted cinema source material.
• FAILED LAMP IGNITION-Failure to successfully strike the lamp.
• COMMUNICATION ERRORS-SSM and/or I2C links may be malfunctioning.
It is also recommended that the following additional conditions always be set to trigger an alarm window
(default). Select these triggers in the Advanced Preferences TPC menu:
• OVER TEMPERATURE-caused when the temperature in the card cage, red/blue DMDs, integrator, prism or
SSM has exceeded the operating specification.
• FAN SPEEDS-caused when a main intake fan, card cage fan, or the laminar air flow device fan fails or is too
slow.
• LAMP EXPIRY-appears when lamp has reached the end of its life (as defined in the Lamp Limit setting).
IMPORTANT: For normal operation, do not disable alarm triggers.
3.6 REMOTE CONTROL OF THE TOUCH PANEL CONTROLLER

Most TPC projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a controller, via simple bi-directional
ASCII messaging on an Ethernet communication link.
WHAT SETUP IS NEEDED? To control these TPC functions remotely via your own controller, you must open
an Ethernet socket between your controller and the valid TPC address. See complete instructions in Setup and
Shutdown later in this section. Note that only one "physical" connection is permitted at any given time, and
access to remote functions may be limited by the installer. Do not use an RS-232 (serial) link.
3.6.1 UNDERSTANDING ASCII MESSAGE FORMATS

All "remote control" information passes in and out of the TPC as simple messages consisting of command code
and any data related to it. Such messages can be a command to set a projector parameter at a specific level,
such as changing to a certain channel. Or the controller can request information, such as what channel is
currently in use-the projector then returns the data in a reply message. Regardless of message type or origin, all
messages use the same basic format and code as shown in Figure 3-34. Where applicable, a message can
expand to include additional parameters of related data.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-34 THE 3 MESSAGE FORMATS (SHADED MESSAGE IS FROM PROJ.)
MESSAGE COMPONENTS AND STRUCTURE

START AND END OF MESSAGE: Every message begins with the "("character and ends with the ")"
character. Note that if the start character is received before an end character of the previous message, the
partial (previous) message is discarded.
FUNCTION CODE: The function you wish to work with, such as channel switching or picture mute, is
represented by a three-character ASCII code (A-Z, upper or lower case). This function code appears
immediately after the leading "(" that starts the message.
REQUEST/REPLY SYMBOL: If the controller is requesting information from the projector, a "?" question
mark appears directly after the function code. If the projector is replying, a "!" exclamation mark appears
directly after the function code. For set messages, neither of these characters appear-the code is followed by
the data itself (see next paragraph).
DATA: The value for a given projector parameter, such as on or off, appears in ASCII-decimal format directly
after the request/reply symbol. Unless you add an optional space after the symbol (i.e., before the data) in a set
message, data immediately follows the request/reply symbol without a space. Other details about data:
• All values returned by the projector (reply messages) have a fixed length of either 3 or 5 characters regard-
less of the actual value-the value is padded with leading zeros as needed.
• Data in set messages does not require padding.
• For any given parameter, data length is always the same. E.g., the picture mute value, which is either "on"
(1) or "off" (0) is always 3-digits: 001 or 000.
• Within one message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one "space" character.
• Data pertaining to a specific source other than the current source is preceded by: the letter "S", the source
number (i.e., channel), and a space. This is similar to an "extra" parameter P0.
• Text parameters such as channel names are enclosed in double quotes following the data, as in "Name".
TEXT PARAMETERS: Most data is simply a numerical value, however some messages also require text. For
example, a channel naming message typically includes a text-based name after the channel number-enclose
this text in double quotation marks, as in "Tilt the Wagon". Use all characters as desired except for the
following special characters-these require a 2-character combination as shown in Table 3.20:

3.6.3 WHAT IS ACTUALLY SENT IN A MESSAGE?

Although you will send and read all messages as strings of ASCII characters, the actual message travels as a
sequence of bytes. Each character in a unicode message requires 2 bytes, whereas the non-unicode requires
only 1 byte. See example in Figure 3-35, which illustrates a "picture mute is off" reply from the projector:
FIGURE 3-35 FIGURE 3.35. ASCII AS NON-UNICODE AND UNICODE

3.6.4 AVAILABLE ASCII CODES

All available ASCII message codes, including those with multiple parameters, are listed and explained in
Appendix B.
3.6.5 SETUP AND SHUTDOWN
SETUP
1. In the Admin:General menu, define which users (all, none or some) have remote access rights.
2. Open an Ethernet socket to the TPC address (socket = 5000). By default, the TPC address is
192.168.206.110. If you have additional TPCs, the installer should have defined their addresses as
192.168.206.111, 192.168.206.112, and so on, or used other addresses that are valid for your site.
3. Communication protocol should now be established (and can be confirmed with a PNG? if desired).
NOTE: The socket will automatically close after 15 minutes of inactivity. Program your controller to send a
PNG? message every 5-10 minutes to maintain communication and keep the socket functioning.
IMPORTANT: To prevent shutdown of the socket, program the controller to send a PNG? every 5-10
minutes.
SHUTDOWN
You must close the application and shut down the socket properly before shutting down the controller.
3.7 WORKING WITH THE LAMP

Simple software controls and adjustments can help to optimize lamp performance and ensure the brightest,
most uniform image possible for the life of the lamp. These controls are located in the Main, Advanced:
Preferences, and Advanced: Lamp menus on the TPC.
NOTE: For individual menu functions, see 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.7.1 TURNING THE LAMP ON/OFF
FIGURE 3-36 LAMP BUTTON ON TPC

ON: With all CP breakers set to ON, ignite the lamp by pressing the lamp button on the Main menu of the
TPC-make sure to press and hold for approximately ½ second.
OFF: To turn the lamp off, press the lamp button on the Main menu of the TPC-make sure to press and hold
for approximately ½ second. Then WAIT for fans to run for 10 minutes to cool the lamp and other components
then turn off all breakers.
3.7.2 IF THE LAMP WON'T TURN ON

If the lamp fails to ignite, the projector will automatically re-try ignition using 100% of the maximum power
acceptable for the lamp. If this re-try also fails, and there is no interlock problem such as an open lamp door, a
new lamp is likely needed.
3.7.3 ADJUSTING LAMP POWER (LITELOC™ OR MANUALLY)

NOTES: 1) Requires Advanced/Admin TPC rights. 2) Keep in mind the formula: Current (Amperes) x Voltage
(Volts) = Lamp Power (Watts). 3) Adjust LiteLOC™ before or after adjustment of lamp position.
There are two different lamp modes for general operation-you can maintain either a specific brightness level
(LiteLOC™ ) or a specific lamp power level:
USING LITELOC™
Maintain a specific brightness level from your lamp over time as follows (Figure 3-37):
1. In the TPC's Advanced: Lamp menu, adjust Lamp Power until the desired light output is reached at the
screen (typically 14 fL). Any LiteLOC™ will automatically be disabled.
2. Press "Set" to record the current brightness reading in memory (NOTE: arbitrary units-of-measure are
shown above the light output bar).

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-37 FIGURE 3.37. SETTING LITELOC™

3. Enable LiteLOC™. As the lamp ages and loses efficiency, the projector will gradually and automatically
supply more current to the lamp as necessary to maintain your chosen level of light output for as long as
possible (the light level is read from an internal light sensor).
To change your LiteLOC™ setting, adjust the Lamp Power as desired and then press "Set". The LiteLOC™
function will automatically begin to maintain this new setting.
WHEN SHOULD I USE LiteLOC™? Typically, most theatre installations would use LiteLOC™ for daily
operation, since it need only be set once for each lamp install, and ensures consistent worry-free brightness at
the screen for as long as possible. If desired, reset LiteLOC™ to a different level at any time, or override with
a specific lamp power setting.
HOW LONG CAN I MAINTAIN BRIGHTNESS? Software can maintain a LiteLOC™ setting until the required
power exceeds the maximum rating for the lamp (2.0, 3.0, 4.5, or 6.0 kW) by approximately 10%. The lower
your LiteLOC™ setting, the longer it will take to reach this "over-drive" threshold and the longer you can
maintain the desired brightness.
FIGURE 3-38 LITELOC™ EXPIRY

For example, a 6000 watt lamp (6.0 kW) can be safely driven at no more than 6600 watts. To produce 14 fL at
the screen, a new lamp would likely need less than this maximum rating-perhaps 5120 watts (example only).
Over time, however, the lamp will require more and more current in order to produce the 14 fL, until
eventually the lamp wattage reaches its 6600 "overdrive" maximum, and the power to it automatically levels
off. At this point, the LiteLOC™ function terminates (i.e., the power level stabilizes), the lamp will begin to
dim normally with age, and the light output gauge will begin falling. Either reduce your LiteLOC™ setting or
replace the lamp.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
USING "LAMP POWER"

To change to a different power level, simply enter a new Lamp Power percentage at any time. This will
override (and temporarily disable) any LiteLOC™ setting that may be in effect:
1. Set "Lamp Power" to apply a specific percentage of power appropriate for the installed lamp. LiteLOC™
will automatically be disabled.
2. Brightness will change accordingly, new values will appear for amps, volts and watts, and the blue light
output bar graph will move above or below the LiteLOC™ line, depending on the new setting.
FIGURE 3-39 USING A SPECIFIC POWER LEVEL

Over time, as the lamp ages and becomes more inefficient, your chosen power level will gradually produce less
and less light output. To return to the previous LiteLOC setting, enable the LiteLOC checkbox.
NOTE: When re-enabling LiteLOC from a current brightness level that is more than 10% brighter or dimmer
than the LiteLOC setting, the recovery will be immediate. When re-enabling LiteLOC from a brightness
setting that differs by only 10% or less, the recovery will be gradual.
UNDERSTANDING "LAMP POWER" VALUES (%): The Lamp

Power range of 75-110 represents 75%-110% of the power
appropriate for the installed lamp. In other words, you can apply
anywhere from 75% of the maximum power intended for the
installed lamp up to an "over-drive" that exceeds the maximum
rating by approximately 10%. Both current (amps) and power
(watts) thresholds are read.
Keep in mind that higher lamp power settings do shorten lamp life-
for best results, avoid over-driving a lamp for extended periods.
When using LiteLOC™ (which automatically increases lamp
power over time), check the Status menu lamp power readings
periodically as the lamp ages, to prevent prolonged over-driving.

4.5 112-135
6.0 126-155
NOTE: A Lamp Power setting of 110 will exceed the maximum values shown here by approximately 10%.
3.7.4 ADJUSTING LAMP POSITION FOR LAMPLOC™

Align a newly-installed lamp as soon as possible to ensure optimized lamp performance and peak brightness at
the screen for the life of the lamp.
NOTES: 1) Before adjusting, a 10-minute warm-up is recommended. 2) You can adjust lamp position either
before or after adjustment of Lamp Power or LiteLOC™ . 3) Footlambert calibration should be performed
with lamp change, i.e. 2K to 3K.
USE THE "DO AUTO" BUTTON FOR LAMPLOC™
FIGURE 3-41 USING THE DO AUTO BUTTON

For best results in all installations, align the lamp by pressing the DO AUTO button in the Advanced: Lamp
menu. The motors and sensors in the projector will work together to precisely position the lamp for optimized
performance and brightness, utilizing filtering to eliminate signs of lamp flicker. Once aligned, this
LampLOC™ setting can be considered fairly stable for the life of the lamp.
WHEN TO USE THE INDIVIDUAL LAMPLOC™ BUTTONS

The individual LampLOC™ arrow buttons, each of which moves the lamp in one direction only, are provided
as a reassuring back-up should the DO AUTO button fail or if you feel a manual, operator-assisted lamp
optimization will result in more output. Either measure your results with a light meter at the lens and screen or
simply watch the light output gauge in the Advanced: Lamp menu. Note that with these buttons you may
attain a slightly higher peak than with the DO AUTO button, but the peak may not be centered on the lamp
curve and lamp performance may not be optimized (whereas the DO AUTO button also utilizes filtering to
eliminate the effects of any lamp flicker). In general, use the individual buttons only when you feel it is
unavoidable.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
HOW TO ADJUST (IF USING A LIGHT METER): First obtain peak readings on a light meter centered in front
of the lens, then at the center of the screen. For each button, continue in one direction, then back up when
reading begins decreasing.
NOTES: 1) Display a 100% white internal test pattern. 2) Use a tripod to center the light meter with the lens.
Distance from the lens does not matter. You may need an attenuator, or wish to construct an internal foil
aperture first. 3) This is an optional procedure-use the light output gauge in the Advanced: Lamp menu if
preferred.
FIGURE 3-42 ADJUSTING USING A LIGHT METER

1. Adjust forward/aft (z) until the brightness reading in front of the lens is maximized.
2. Adjust left/right (x) and up/down (y) until the brightness reading in front of the lens is maximized
3. Re-adjust forward/aft (z) as necessary.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 as necessary.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4, but reading at the screen instead of at the lens.
6. Reset Lamp Power or LiteLOC™ if desired.
3.7.5 STAND-BY MODE
FIGURE 3-43 LAMP POWER IN STAND-BY

Close the douser (shutter) to put the projector in a cooler stand-by mode where lamp power is reduced to 50%
of its maximum rating. Upon opening the douser and restoring the image, the lamp power will return to its
previous setting.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.7.6 HOW OLD IS MY LAMP?
FIGURE 3-44 LAMP HOURS

When a new lamp is installed and its serial number recorded (Advanced: Lamp menu), the lamp timer resets
to "0" and begins logging time for the new lamp. This total appears in both the Advanced: Lamp menu and the
Status menu. See right.
The Status menu also shows "Total Lamp Hours", which is the accumulated time logged for all lamps
installed thus far. Each past lamp log also appears in the Advanced: Lamp History menu.
3.7.7 WHEN TO REPLACE THE LAMP

Assuming the Lamp Expiry Message checkbox has been enabled in the Advanced: Preferences menu
(recommended), an expiry message will appear on the TPC (as an alarm window) when the lamp has reached
its defined Lamp Limit and should be replaced.
Regardless of the Lamp Limit chosen, never exceed the warrantied lamp lifetime by more than 20%, as an old
lamp becomes increasingly fragile and more prone to sudden failure or even explosion, which can be
damaging and dangerous. These maximum limits appear in Table 3.23.
Table 3.23 When to Replace Your Lamp
LAMP (KW) REPLACE BEFORE:
2.0 2880 hours
3.0 1728 hours
4.5 1080 hours
6.0 600 hours

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
NOTE: Hours shown here are 20% beyond the pro-rated credit warrantied lifetimes (see Section 8). Do not
exceed. See 6.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter for instructions.
3.7.8 MAINTAINING FOOTLAMBERTS

Over time, as the theatre screen ages and dust and dirt collects on the port window, the theatre may no longer
be achieving the expected footlamberts as reported by the TPC. It is a good idea to periodically recalibrate
footlamberts (refer back to Figure 3-31).
3.8 WORKING WITH THE LENSES

NOTE:The CP2000-SB model incorporates a new lens mount design that incorporates the following features:
• Ruggedized and Stable
• Includes a locking knob
• Accepts both HC (High Contrast) and HB (High Brightness) lenses
FIGURE 3-45 ANATOMY OF THE LENS MOUNT

NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup for all lens installation and boresight instructions.
The CP2000-SB lens mount secures the primary zoom lens to the projection head. It provides 1) setup
adjustments for correct boresight, and 2) manually controlled focus, zoom and offsets for general use.
An auxiliary lens (1.25x or 1.26x) can be installed into an optional auxiliary lens mount, then swung into place
in front of the primary lens to widen a "squeezed" image into a properly proportioned "scope" anamorphic
cinema display. It is typically used in theatres having side masks that are retracted for "scope" images, or in
theatres having fixed side masking but a very short throw ratio (throw ratio= throw distance/screen width). To
move the auxiliary lens, select the auxiliary button on the Main menu of the TPC.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.8.1 ZOOM
With the projector in its permanent location, turn the lens zoom ring on the CP2000-SB
primary lens to enlarge or shrink the image in each direction as necessary.
3.8.2 OFFSETS
With the projector in its permanent location, turn the horizontal and/or vertical offset
knobs as necessary so that the image is square on the screen-particularly at the top- with no keystoning. For
best results, avoid extreme offsets. Corner vignettes on a white test pattern indicates extreme offsets that
should be avoided.
If you need more vertical offset range, it is possible that CP2000-SB's mechanical TILT should be changed to
help compensate for significant differences in screen and lens height. Refer back to Section 2.
NOTE: Vertical offset ranges are shown in Figure 2-36.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.8.3 FOCUS
For overall focus improvement, rotate the focus adjustment knob directly under the lens. For best results, use a
crosshatch test pattern or similar, and focus on the center of the image.
If the focus quality differs from edge-to-edge (whether top, bottom, left or right), the boresight of the lens
mount likely needs correction (see Section 2, Installation and Setup).
3.8.4 AUXILIARY LENS

NOTES: 1) The auxiliary lens and its motorized mounting mechanism are optional. 2) To install, replace or
use the auxiliary lens, refer to the instructions included with the Motorized Auxiliary Lens Mount kit.
To widen a "squeezed" image into a scope (2.39:1) theatre display, swing the 1.25x anamorphic or 1.26x wide
converter lens into place in front of the primary zoom lens of the projector. This lens increases magnification
across the width only, regaining the original proportions in the image, and is often used in theatres where side
masking can be moved aside.
3.9 WORKING WITH 3D

NOTE: For a description of each 3D control, refer back to 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller.
A single projector can display 3D images as described below. Such images require a 3D-capable source as well
as additional hardware and cabling in order to be displayed and interpreted correctly in a typical stereo 3D
viewing environment.
3.9.1 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 frame sequencing, the resulting "single" perceived image appears with
much the same depth and perspective we sense in the real world.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.9.2 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:
• EFIB (Enhanced Formatter Interface Board):
• TPC software v2.3c or higher
• Main projector software v8.0 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:
• 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 pas-
sive 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-see Section 2) to the emitter or polarizer.
NOTE: See Appendix D 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 3-50.
3.9.3 SUPPORTED HARDWARE SETUP

• Figure 3-46 shows the general hardware configuration currently supported. Use either an IR emitter to con-
trol 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) See page D-2
for cabling details.

FIGURE 3-46 TYPICAL DUAL-INPUT 3D SYSTEM (CP2000 SHOWN, WITH ACTIVE GLASSES)
3.9.4 OTHER HARDWARE SETUPS

Other expected hardware configurations with a single 3D source input are shown in Figure 3-47.
NOTE: For future reference. Single 3D input is not currently supported.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-47 SINGLE-INPUT 3D SYSTEMS
3.9.5 3D INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES: 1) Assumes a full 2048 x 1080 display, and 3D enabled in the Custom 3D Control menu. 2) 3D
stereo sync or "reference signal" is part of input signal, matching the vertical sync.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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.
FIGURE 3-48 INCREASING FRAME RATE BY 4:2

2. SET THE FRAME RATE: NOTE: 4:2 is recommended to preserve full screen display. 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 3-48). 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. A 4:2 setting creates 4 frames from 2
inputs (=96 Hz), or 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 rates for lower resolution displays can be increased by a larger ratio. 6:2 commonly used for
most 3D features.
3.DEFINE 3D SYNC INPUT LOCATION:
• For dual inputs, set the L/R Input Reference option to A=Left and B=Right (or vice versa).
• For dual inputs, set the Input GPI to None.
FIGURE 3-49 SETUP FOR 3D

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
These two settings tell the rest of your 3D system that incoming 3D stereo sync information is included with
the two L/R image data inputs rather than routed separately to 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 GPI according to which input# 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.
6.DEFINE SYNC OUTPUT: Use L/R Output Polarity to set whether the 3D sync signal output here matches the
L/R order of the incoming frames, or whether it is to be inverted-i.e., reversed (R/L). Then set the 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 image color, etc.
3.9.6 3D TROUBLESHOOTING
USING THE 3D TEST PATTERN
FIGURE 3-50 INTERNAL TEST PATTERN FOR 3D

Use the 3D internal test pattern to confirm 3D mode, L/R orientation, and your Sync Output (GPO) setting
only. This pattern automatically activates 3D mode and increases frame rate by a factor of 6:2.
NOTE: The test pattern will flicker significantly due to its low frame rate, and is not recommended for
synchronizing projector processing with your 3D device.
IMAGE BREAKUP
Increasing the Dark Time beyond its maximum may cause image break-up.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
NO 3D EFFECT
Certain settings in the Custom: 3D Control menu are likely reversed.
GHOSTING / CROSS-TALK
Ghosting or cross-talk indicates that the eyes are detecting portions of the opposing frame due to an "out-of-
sync" system. Adjust Dark Time and/or Output Delay so that the projector's display output is
synchronized with the gating (switching) of your glasses.
MOTION ARTIFACTS
If the image seems to jump back and forth during horizontal pans, the L/R Display Sequence is likely
backwards. Try reversing the current setting.
SINGLE 3D INPUT DOES NOT WORK

A single source signal containing both left and right data is not currently supported.
3.10 WORKING WITH SERVERS AND DIAGNOSTICS

NOTE: Password-protected; Installers and service technicians only.
A service login provides three additional Status menus-Server, Diag and Interrogator-for testing certain
server functions and communications, or for advanced projector diagnostics.
3.10.1TPC SERVER MENU

The Status:Server menu provides controls for testing or confirming subtitling and/or metadata commands
supplied with presentation content from the site's controlling cinema server. The relevant .xml files-one for
subtitling, one for metadata-can be searched and examined for errors in content or in transmission from the
server. Reported errors can then help point to potential problems with the server, the .xml file, or the
communication link to the projector. Note that controls in the Server menu do not activate or turn off metadata
or subtitling. Controls are diagnostic tools only.
TEST SUBTITLING FILE (.xml): Enable the Subtitling button to test an .xml file supplied with content
for control of performance parameters such as synchronization with content, language, font type, font color,
position, etc., in the current presentation. Define the desired URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)-i.e., cinema
server or distributor-providing the subtitling .xml file you wish to examine, then select "Enable" to begin the
test. Any errors encountered in file content or transmission from the server (for example, a lost file, a server
crash, loss of communication with the server, etc.) will appear in the window, and the "Enable" checkbox will
clear.
TEST METADATA (.xml): Enable the Meta File button to test a supplied .xml file required for auto-
configuring display parameters such as colors, aspect ratio, watermarks, etc., in certain distributed content.
Such metadata-a.k.a. "data about data"-is embedded in the video stream content and should be modified only
by the distributor, but the test may result in errors pointing to problems in metadata content or its transmission
from the server.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
FIGURE 3-51 STATUS:SERVER MENU
3.10.2 TPC DIAG MENU

The Status:Diag menu provides status information about projector components and the current cinema source,
and enables log files for each device to be saved to the TPC's storage card for diagnostics.
FIGURE 3-52 STATUS:DIAG MENU

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
3.10.3TPC INTERROGATOR MENU

The password-protected Status:Interrogator screen enables the collection of advanced-level status
information that can assist in the diagnostics of projector components. Interrogator can be run in two modes
and enables the collection of log files only (BASIC MODE) or log files plus registered batch files
(ENHANCED MODE). These files are then stored on the TPC's storage card. For Interrogator to successfully
retrieve these diagnostic files, the projector must remain in its "failed" state (with incorrectly displayed image
on screen).
NOTES: 1) Always run Interrogator first before power cycling the projector, otherwise important diagnostic
files will be unusable. 2) Never run Interrogator during a show as this could cause image disruption. 3)
Interrogator is also accessible through a separate login and password (different from the service login).
Contact Christie tech support for assistance and password.

This section explains how trained operators can use the projector for presenting cinema events such as first-run
movies stored on a digital media storage device. Please read through these pages before displaying cinema for
the first time. A good understanding of all cinema functions and how to access them will help you to run an
event smoothly and easily.
NOTE: Before attempting cinema use, the projector must be properly installed, aligned and configured by a
qualified service technician as described in Section 2 Installation and Setup. Read also Section 3 Operation.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
4.2 IMAGE FORMATS

The two standard types of cinema displays-flat and scope-differ in their width-to-height aspect ratio as shown
below:
FIGURE 4-2 STANDARD CINEMA FORMATS

Achieving either of these displays from a wide variety of incoming source material depends on proper settings
in the projector as well as certain theatre conditions.
4.2.1 PROJECTOR VARIABLES: ELECTRONIC AND AUXILIARY RESIZING

Because the native resolution/format of the CP projector closely matches the flat aspect ratio (the native
resolution being only slightly wider, at 1.89), the projector can essentially show incoming "flat" images
through its standard zoom lens. "Scope" source material, however, is typically "squeezed" electronically-that
is, it is distorted into a narrow image (characterized by unusually thin people!), and then its pixels are stretched
horizontally through the auxiliary lens so that the full 2.39 image width appears on screen. The image becomes
wider but not taller. See Figure 4-3.
FIGURE 4-3 TYPICAL METHOD FOR ACHIEVING "SCOPE"

If the incoming material has not been "pre-squeezed" by the distributor, you can squeeze it by using a source
file in which the combined settings for 1) incoming source resolution and 2) desired aspect ratio define the
necessary compression. The incoming material will then be squeezed into a narrower area on the projector's
DMD panels, with the final aspect ratio setting determining the actual degree of compression. See 3.5 Using
the Touch Panel Controller for more information about choosing Source menu settings.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
THEATRE VARIABLES: MASKING

In order to present either type of feature on a single screen, a theatre
typically uses masking to conceal any unused edge(s) of the screen. These
movable panels or curtains are most commonly installed along the top
edge of the screen, changing the height of the screen but not its width. The
screen shown in Figure 4-4 at right also has a bottom mask.
• Add masks for "scope"
• Open masks for "flat"
FIGURE 4-4 TOP MASKING FOR SCOPE
Alternatively, masks may be installed at each side of the screen in order to change the width of the screen but
not its height. (Figure 4-5)
"Add masks for "flat"
"Open masks for "scope"
In some cases, a theatre has both side and top/bottom masking installed.
This arrangement is the most flexible of all.
FIGURE 4-5 SIDE MASKING FOR FLAT
Refer to Table 4.2 for a summary of the basic factors affecting cinema displays in a variety of theatres.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Table 4.2 Basic Ways to Achieve Flat & Scope Displays

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
4.3 SELECTING THE CINEMA SOURCE

NOTE: For details regarding all TPC functions, refer to 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller.
4.3.1 VIA TOUCH PANEL CONTROLLER

As described in 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller, CP2000-SB displays are usually pre-configured so that
any user can correctly display a desired feature simply by selecting the corresponding button on either page of
the Main menu displayed by the Touch Panel Controller. There are a maximum of 32 different display buttons
available at any one time (8 per page), with most users locked out of other processing controls available in
other Touch Panel Controller menus. For cinema sources in particular, which are displayed according to strict
parameters pre-defined by the producers of the feature and implemented in the projector by a CP2000-SB
installer, administrator or trained operator, this simplicity ensures that the intended display can be selected
quickly and easily by any user.
To change to a new feature, do the following:
• Make sure the CP2000-SB and TPC are both powered up and operating normally.
• On the Touch Panel Controller, select the Main menu tab.
• On the Main menu page 1 or 2, press the desired display button-the image will update according to the many
display parameters defined for this source.
Refer back to 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller for other operating details.
FIGURE 4-6 SELECT THE DESIRED CINEMA SOURCE

NOTES: 1) Depending on your expected needs, your installer may or may not have configured all buttons for
use. 2) Buttons may have any icon or text.
4.3.2 OTHER METHODS

Depending on your installation, you may be able to use ASCII commands (via Ethernet communication link)
to select a source from a different controller in a remote location. See 3.6 Remote Control of the Touch Panel
Controller and Appendix B, ASCII Messages.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Regardless of how the display file is selected, the feature will appear on screen according to the numerous
specific display settings defined for it. If the display does not appear as expected on screen, part of the display
setup is probably not configured correctly for the incoming source. Try a different button on the Main menu. If
the image is still incorrect, this source may have to be re-configured.
4.4 ADJUSTING THE CINEMA DISPLAY

For general users, only the selection of a digital cinema feature is accessible. The precise processing which
affects details of image quality is predefined in its display files such as Source and Screen-these settings are
password-protected and accessible by trained operators or installers only.
If you feel the cinema display is incorrect or faulty, contact the trained operator in your theatre who can correct
or further customize specific display file settings.

5 Non-Cinema Operation
This section explains how to display "alternative content" originating from a standard definition or high
definition non-cinema source such as a PC or other graphics devices. Such a source routes to a DVI (Digital
Visual Interface) port in the CP2000-SB projection head, and can bypass cinema processing when necessary.
NOTE: This section assumes that "Phase 1" (or later) hardware is present in the projector, enabling use of the
DVI-2 port. Without "Phase 1" (or later) hardware, only DVI-1 is functional.
• 5.1 Compatible Non-cinema Sources

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Section 5: Non-Cinema Operation
5.1 COMPATIBLE NON-CINEMA SOURCES

Make sure your non-cinema DVI source is connected to DVI-1 or DVI-2 within the CP2000-SB head-see
Figure 5-1. These connections are typically made at the time of projector installation.
FIGURE 5-1 NON-CINEMA DVI SOURCE CONNECTION

(SHOWN WITH EXTERNAL SOURCE)
Each DVI port accepts and will auto-detect the progressive-scan, digital RGB sources listed in Table 5.1,
displaying them in their original incoming format. Currently, DVI signals cannot be scaled to a different size
and/or aspect ratio.
Note that each DVI port is a single-link port for a single-link cable/connector only. Using this pair of ports as a
higher-bandwidth dual-link or twin-link pair requires additional hardware and is not currently supported (see
Figure 5-2).

NOTES: 1) Sources with "[" can be VESA E-EDID reported. 2) Interlaced signals are not supported. 3) The
desired processing path for a DVI source is selected in the TPC Advanced Custom menu. Non-cinema
processing is required for DVI sources with a pixel clock rate over 110 MHz, which is the limit for cinema
processing.
Keep in mind that the projector will attempt to automatically adapt to any incoming data format that is within
the bandwidth or frame rate of the system, thus formats beyond those shown in Table 5.1 may also be
compatible.
5.1.1 DUAL- AND TWIN-LINK DVI

Although dual link and twin link input options appear in the TPC Custom menu, using the pair of DVI ports for
a dual-link signal-that is, two data streams and one clock via one dual-link cable-requires an adapter that
accepts the dual-link DVI connector. Using the ports for a twin-link signal-two data streams with their own
clocks, each on their own single-link cable-requires a source that can provide this unique type of DVI output.
Either of the proposed configurations would increase DVI bandwidth.
FIGURE 5-2 PROPOSED DUAL-LINK AND TWIN-LINK DVI CONFIGURATIONS

NOTES: 1) Neither the Christie dual-link adapter nor the proposed 3rd-party twin-link source (and cables)
shown here are currently available. 2) Using both DVI ports with the Christie Cine-IPM 2K enables 10-bit
output and displays. Consult the Cine-IPM 2K User Manual for details.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
5.2 SELECTING THE SOURCE

For any display, the projector interprets incoming signal data according to one of 32 user-selectable display
files defined at the time of installation (and/or with each subsequent release of a new digital cinema feature),
and stored in projector memory. Each file is essentially a collection of processing/display settings optimized
for a particular cinema feature or alternative non-cinema content, enabling consistent presentations with
minimum further adjustment. Each file is represented by an assigned "channel button" selectable over several
pages of the TPC Main menu. Depending on your installation, you may have 0-32 different non-cinema
sources defined for use.
TO SELECT A NON-CINEMA SOURCE: With a non-cinema source connected to the CP2000-SB, use the
main menu on the Touch Panel Controller to select the display button representing the desired non-cinema
source. Once selected, the button will darken and the projected display will change according to the
corresponding file settings. See 3.5 Using the Touch Panel Controller if you need help.
TO RETURN TO A CINEMA SOURCE, at the Main menu of the Touch Panel Controller, select one of the
cinema display buttons pre-configured for a cinema source input at port A or B -the CP2000-SB will now
ignore the DVI ports and respond to the cinema source activated by this button.

Section 6: Maintenance
6.1 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.
6.1.1 LABELS AND MARKINGS

Observe and follow any warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle indicates related operating/maintenance
instructions in the documentation accompanying the projector.
The lightning flash and arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle indicates non-insulated
"dangerous voltage" within the projector's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
6.1.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Be aware of the following general precautions in all CP2000-SB installations:
WARNING
Never look directly into the projector lens or at the lamp.
The extremely high brightness can cause permanent eye damage.
WARNING
For protection from ultraviolet radiation, keep all projector housings intact
during operation. Protective clothing and safety goggles are recommended.
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.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD. Keep hands, clothes, and all combustible material away from
the concentrated light beam of the lamp .

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
WARNING
Position all cables where they cannot contact hot surfaces or be pulled or tripped over.
This projector must be installed on the floor only, and operated in an environment which meets the operating
range specifications in Section 8, Specifications.
WARNING
Opening or removing a projector cover requires a qualified service technician.
6.1.3 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 on page 3. 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 that qualified service technicians only 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.
6.1.4 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD -Wear authorized protective clothing whenever the lamp door is
open!
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the lamp directly after use. The lamp is under increased
pressure when hot and may explode, causing personal injury and/or property damage.
Allow to cool completely.
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

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!
WARNING
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.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD. Disconnect from AC at BOTH wall breakers before opening the
lamphouse.
For all other precautions critical for safe removal and replacement of the lamp, refer to 6.4 Replacing the Lamp
& Filter.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
6.2 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.
6.2.1 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.
6.2.2 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. See 6.4 Replacing the Lamp & Filter 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.
6.2.3 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 (see 2.1 Assembly
and Connection of Components). Fill with Christie's 50/50 mix of distilled water and ethylene glycol. 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 2-31.
NOTE: See 3.1 Projector Basics for all cooler operating details.
6.2.4 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 on projector (lamp is not needed).
2. Turn off extractor fan.
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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Maintain vane switches as described in 6.3 Maintenance and Cleaning.

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.
6.3 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.
6.3.1 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 connectors.
• Verify that all electrical and lamp connections are tight.
6.3.2 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-make sure 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

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
• 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:
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:
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.
6.3.3 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.
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

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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 2.1. Make sure
lamp wiring does not interfere with vane switch. See also 6.2 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.
6.4 REPLACING THE LAMP & FILTER

The high brightness of your projector is provided by a Xenon lamp mounted at two ends within a reflector and
housed in the locked lamp compartment of the projection head. When the lamp approaches the end of its life, it
must be replaced-do not exceed warranted lamp life by more than 20%, as an old lamp becomes increasingly
and dangerously fragile, resulting in possible explosion.
To determine the age of your current lamp, consult the Status menu in the Touch Panel Controller. Lamp
hours appear under "Environment: Lamp". Lamp hours are also displayed in the password-protected
Advanced Lamp menu and the Advanced Lamp History menu.
It is recommended that you replace the air filter with every lamp replacement, or sooner in dusty or dirty
environments. Check its condition monthly in all projectors.
6.4.1 LAMP REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

NOTE: For this procedure you will need a compatible Christie Xenon CDXL or CXL lamp as shown in Section
8 Specifications-never install a lamp intended for a different model or projector.
WARNING
Make sure to use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie.

7 Troubleshooting
If the projector does not appear to be operating properly, note the symptoms present and use the following
guide to assist you. If you cannot resolve the problems yourself, contact your dealer for assistance.
NOTE: A qualified service technician is required when opening an enclosure to diagnose any "probable
cause".
• 7.1 Power
• 7.2 Lamp
• 7.3 TPC
• 7.4 Ethernet
• 7.5 Cinema Displays
• 7.6 Non-Cinema Displays

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Section 7: Troubleshooting
7.1 POWER
7.1.1 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.
7.2 LAMP
7.2.1 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 back to solutions listed in Table 3.2.
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.
7.2.2 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.
7.2.3 NO LAMP CURRENT READING

With this communication error, the lamp will be powered by the last lamp power setting in effect.
7.2.4 FLICKER, SHADOWS OR DIMNESS

1. LampLOC™ may need re-adjustment.
2. LampLOC™ may be in the middle of its adjustment. Wait approximately 2 min.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
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).
7.2.5 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.
7.2.6 LITELOC™ DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK

1. Make sure 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.
7.3 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
7.4 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.
7.5 CINEMA DISPLAYS
7.5.1 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.
7.5.2 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.
7.5.3 IMAGE APPEARS VERTICALLY STRETCHED OR "SQUEEZED" 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.
7.5.4 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
7.6 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.
7.6.1 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.
7.6.2 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 8 Specifications for scan frequency ranges.
3. The sync signal may be inadequate. Correct the source problem.
7.6.3 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.
7.6.4 THE UPPER PORTION OF THE DISPLAY IS WAVING, TEARING OR JITTERING…

This can sometimes occur with video or VCR sources. Check your source.
7.6.5 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
7.6.6 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.
7.6.7 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.
7.6.8 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.
7.6.9 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 (see 3.3 Power-down
Procedure) and unplug. Then plug in again and power up as usual (see 3.2 Power-up Procedure).
7.6.10 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.
7.6.11 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.
7.6.12 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 Ω). 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.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
7.6.13 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.

A Appendix A: Glossary
The glossary defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this projector. Also included
are other general terms commonly used in the projection industry.
CP2000-SB User Manual A-1

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
Appendix A: Glossary
3:2 PULLDOWN
A frame sequence used to map 24 fps film to 30 fps video (or 24/1.001 to 30/1.001 fps) in which every second film
frame is represented by three video fields instead of two, the third being a repeat of the second. This leads to a set of ten
video fields for each four film frames.
ACTIVE LINE TIME

The time, inside one horizontal scan line, during which video is generated.
ACTIVE PICTURE
The area of a video frame which carries image information. As an example, a total frame size of 1125 x 2200 pixels
may have an active picture of 1280 active lines and 1920 samples per active line. Compare to production aperture.
ALTERNATIVE CONTENT
Non-cinema program material such as concerts, plays, sporting events, and potentially corporate training or conferenc-
ing, presented in theatres in addition to motion picture exhibition. Alternative content connects to one of the projector’s
DVI ports.
AMBIENT LIGHT REJECTION

The ability of a screen to reflect ambient light (i.e., light within a room from a source other than the projector) in a
direction away from the "line of best viewing". Curved screens usually have better ambient light reflection than do flat
screens.
ANAMORPHIC
Having or requiring a linear distortion, generally in the horizontal direction. Anamorphic lenses restore a ‘scope’
(CinemaScope) or ‘flat’ format film frame to the correct appearance by increasing its horizontal proportion. The
CP2000 uses a 1.25x scope anamorphic lens option.
ANSI
The American National Standards Institute is the organization that denotes the measurement standard for lamp
brightness.
ANSWER PRINT
A print made from the cut original (camera) negative with proposed final color timing and soundtracks, furnished by
the printing lab to the producer for acceptance of image and sound before screenings and manufacturing begin. A check
print is similar, but is made from the internegative. A blacktrack answer print has no soundtracks.
ASPECT RATIO
The ratio of the width of an image to its height, such as the 4:3 aspect ratio common in video output. Can also be
expressed as a decimal number, such as 1.77, 1.85 or 2.39. The larger the ratio or decimal, the wider and "less square"
the image.
A-2 CP2000-SB User Manual

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
AUTHORING
The process, tools, and working environment by which content elements and functions are compiled,
formatted, coordinated, and tested for presentation on target systems. Comment: Authoring in the context of
digital cinema does not necessarily result in inseparably married or muxed content components. Rather,
reference is made to a virtual answer print, the elements of which may subsequently be subdivided or
combined, encrypted in whole or part, and packaged in various ways for distribution of the title, a version of
the title, or an update for revision of the title in the field.
AUTOMATION
A system used in a theatre projection booth that responds to cues, commands or relay switches and then
controls various elements of presentation, such as:
• picture format and corresponding lens (flat or scope)
• sound format and corresponding cinema processor settings
• curtain movement and position
• lighting level in the auditorium
• non-sync play and fade in/out
• digital cinema projector
NOTE: Christie’s optional automation system is not yet available.
AUTO SOURCE
The ability of the projector to automatically recognize and synchronize to the horizontal and vertical scan
frequencies of an input signal for proper display.
BANDWIDTH
The frequency range of the projector's video amplifier.
BAUD RATE
The speed (bits-per-second) at which serial communications travel from their origin.
BIT DEPTH
The total number of bits available to represent each pixel or color sample in a digital imaging system. Using
linear binary coding, the total number of resolution steps available is equal to 2 raised to the power of the bit
depth.
BLANKING TIME
The time inside one scan line during which video is not generated. The blanking time of the input signal must
be equal to or greater than the retrace time of the projector.
BRIGHTNESS
In cinema projection, brightness usually describes the amount of light emitted from a surface such as a screen.
It is measured in footlamberts or candelas per square meter.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
CANDELA OR CANDLE
Unit of measure for measuring intensity of light in certain types of projectors.
CHANNEL
A collection of measurements stored by the projector for a given input source, including frequencies, pulse width,
polarity, syncs, channel number and location, user-adjustable display settings, etc. Use channels to switch between a
variety of setups quickly, automatically recalling previously defined display parameters.
CHANNEL LIST
A list/menu of previously defined channels available in projector memory.
CHANNEL NUMBER
A number that uniquely identifies a specific channel retained in projector memory. The projector (via its TPC) offers
up to 8 channel choices at once.
CHECKBOX
A menu item that indicates whether an option is currently in effect (checked) or not (unchecked).
CHROMINANCE
The signal representing the color information (hue and saturation) when the image is represented as separate
chrominance and luminance. Same as "chroma".
CLEAN APERTURE
The fraction of a motion picture frame image that is intended to be viewed by the audience. The clean aperture is
subjectively free of edge artifacts and lies within the screen area framed by curtains in a cinema. Aspect ratio is often
referenced to the clean aperture.
COLOR GAMUT
The range of colors allowed in a specific system, as defined within a triangular area located on the CIE color locus
diagram whose corners are the three primaries defined in the system. Also known as color space.
COLOR SHIFT
A change in the tint of a white field across an image.
COLOR TEMPERATURE
The coloration (reddish, white, bluish, greenish, etc.) of white in an image, measured using the Kelvin (degrees K)
temperature scale. Higher temperatures output more light.
COMPONENT VIDEO
See YcbCr or YPbPr.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
COMPOSITE VIDEO
The output of video tape players and some computers, characterized by synchronization, luminance and color signals
combined on one output cable.
CONTRAST (RATIO)
The degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the image.
CONVERGENCE
The alignment of the red, green, and blue light elements of a projected image so that they appear as a single element. In
this projector, convergence can be adjusted by Christie service personnel only.

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
DIGITAL CINEMA
Professional public presentation of theatrical content by electronic means, particularly emphasizing projectors such as
the CP2000 whose image source is digital data. Also known as d-cinema and (rarely) e-cinema.
DIGITAL INTERPOLATION
Also known as digital scaling. The process of averaging pixel information when scaling (resizing) an image up or
down. When reducing the size of an image, adjacent pixels are averaged to create fewer pixels. When increasing the
size of an image, additional pixels are created by averaging together adjacent pixels in the original smaller image.
DOT CLOCK
The maximum frequency of the pixel clock.
E-EDID
The Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data standard, established by VESA, enables properties (such as
resolution) of a display device to be detected by the display card in a controlling device such as a PC. The PC, in turn,
can then output in a matching format to fill the display. Some sources used with the projector are VESA E-EDID
reported.
E-STOP

to 22 fL; 16 +/- 2 fL (55 +/- 7 cd/m2) is the open gate target according to SMPTE 196M. For cinema applications,
xenon lamp wattage is approximated to achieve this level using 12 W/ft2 x (screen height squared) or 5 W/ft2 of total
‘scope image area, for matte screens and typical lenses.
FRAME RATE
The frequency at which complete images are generated. For non-interlaced signals, the frame rate is identical to the
vertical frequency. For interlaced signals, the frame rate (also known as field rate) is one half of vertical frequency.
GAIN OR SCREEN GAIN

The ability of a screen to direct incident light to an audience. A flat matte white wall has a gain of approximately 1.
Screens with gain less than 1 attenuate incident light; screens with gain more than 1 direct more incident light to the
audience but have a narrow viewing angle. For example: An image reflecting off a 10 gain screen appears 10 times
brighter than it would if reflected off a matte white wall. Curved screens usually have larger gain than flat screens.

3 axes—vertical, horizontal and distance to lens—so that lamp performance and output is maximized.
LIFE SAFETY
A safety control system integrated into the HVAC, fire alarm, and other infrastructure components of the theatre as
well as the presentation system. Comment: In the event of a fire, for example, the life safety system may turn on the
auditorium lighting to full intensity, cancel the presentation audio and replace it with a PA microphone or pre-recorded
announcement, turn the lamp off, flash warning lights, and so forth. Every jurisdiction may have different statutory
requirements for life safety systems.
LINEARITY
The reproduction of the horizontal and vertical size of characters and/or shapes over the entire screen.
LINE OF BEST VIEWING

When light from a projector is incident on a screen, the light reflects from the screen such that the angle of reflection
equals the angle of incidence. The Line of Best Viewing is along the line of reflection.

B.2 MESSAGES WITH MULTIPLE PARAMETERS

Certain messages are more complex and require multiple parameters in order to relay complete information.
These messages are described in detail below.
B.2.1 ERROR MESSAGES (ERR)

An error message is generated by the projector/TPC, and contains a numerical error code, a message
"specifier" (i.e., type of error, such as "System Error"), and a text explanation of the error. In addition,
"System Error" and "System Warning" error messages also include further explanation of the nature
of the error, such as its location and cause. NOTE: The type of error and text parameters are enclosed together
in quotation marks, separated by a colon and space. In the table below, the text explanation appears as -----.
Table B.2 Error Messages
ERROR
TYPE OF ERROR (P2) MEANING
CODE (P1)
001 "System Error: -----" "System critical error.
002 "System Warning: -----" "System error.
003 "Invalid parameter-" "Invalid parameter number.
004 "Too many parameters" "Message requires fewer parameters
005 "Too few parameters" "Message requires more parameters
006 "Source does not exist" "The source# is wrong
007 "Could not be executed" "Current content prevented the command from executing.
008 "Checksum error" "The checksum is incorrect.
009 "Unknown request" "Message code undefined. If the message sent as a command it is
ignored and no error is returned.
010 "Communication error" "Error receiving serial data on one of the RS-232 ports.
ADDITIONAL PARAMETERS FOR "001" SYSTEM ERRORS AND "002"SYSTEM WARNINGS

"System Error" and "System Warning" error messages include two additional parameters (P3 and P4), which
further describe the error. P3 indicates what component or system is involved (such as interlocks, fans,
temperature, SSM communication, or a lamp failure) and P4 relays the specific condition detected at the
suspect component, such an over-temperature reading or a slow fan speed reading-note these values indicate
temperature or fan speed only. See Table B.3, Table B.4, and Table B.5.
When a system error is resolved and is no longer present, another message reports this by replacing the first
digit in the original P3 error code with a "1".

020-100162-01 Rev. 1 (04/08)
B.2.2 FOR YOUR INFORMATION (FYI)

FYI messages are generated and broadcast when an overall change in the projector's status is detected. Each
FYI message identifies the IP address of the TPC generating the message, followed by a code for the change as
well as one or more parameters of descriptive details about what has changed.
NOTES: 1) Because FYI messages are gated by the Error Message Enable (EME) control, disabling serial
error message also disables FYI messages. 2) FYI messages do not occur unless there is a Cine-IPM present.
B.2.3 HISTORY (HIS)

A number of lamp histories are stored in memory, with the oldest discarded when there is no more room. An
accurate lamp history requires that the serial# for a new lamp be recorded when the lamp is installed. HIS
message parameters are:
• P1 = Lamp order (oldest lamp installed = 001, next oldest = 002, etc.)
• P2 = # of hours logged
• P3 = Lamp serial#
• P4 = #strikes
• P5 = Installation date & time
• P6 = Lamp type
• P7 = Status Failed to Strike
• P8 = Status Failed Restrike
• P9 = Status Unexpected Offs
• P10 = Life State
• P11 = Change Reason
B.2.4 SYSTEM STATUS (SST)

The SST message provides a variety of information about the current state of the projector. The single broad-
ranging request (SST?) for all information triggers the return of a series of replies as if multiple requests had
been sent. In each of these replies, P1 explains the general content or topic of that reply, and P2 the individual
details. To obtain status for one topic only, specify the desired P1parameter corresponding to that topic-for
example, the request (SST?0) will trigger general projector information only. For a specific single-status
inquiry, include both P1 and P2 in the request-for example, (SST?4 3) asks what version of SSM main
software is installed.

C.1 SERIAL LINKS TO PROJECTOR
C.1.1 STANDARD RS-232 DEVICES

From a PC, connect a standard 9-wire RS-232 serial cable (CTS/RTS) to the serial communication panel port
labeled "RS-232A" on the Source and Communication Connection Panel located on the underside of the
projection head near the front.
Note that a serial link is adequate for DCP Librarian use, or for downloading new main software (both tasks
require a qualified Christie service technician). It cannot be used for ASCII messaging (since the TPC
recognizes Ethernet only), and is too slow for servers.
C.1.2 CINE-IPM 2K
Connect the Cine-IPM 2K's custom RS-232 cable from the rear of the Cine-IPM 2K to the serial communica-
tion panel port labeled "RS-232B" on the Source and Communication Connection Panel located on the
underside of the projection head near the front. The RS-232B port uses Christie-proprietary protocol and is
compatible with Christie accessories only.
Linking the Cine-IPM 2K to the RS-232B port enables Cine-IPM 2K sources to be selected at the TPC.
IMPORTANT: Do not use RS-232 "B" port with other devices.
Refer back to Figure 2-25 for serial port locations. Access from within the pedestal.

Appendix D: GPIO System Integration
D.1 THE GPIO PORT

The 37-pin GPIO connector is located on the Source and Communication Panel located on the underside of the
projection head near the front. It provides a flexible method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices
to the projector, often so that an event on one device automatically triggers an event on the other. The pins on
this connector that are configurable using the TPC’s Custom 3D Control menu are identified in Figure D-1.
NOTES: 1) Pins not shown in Figure D-1 are reserved for other uses, and cannot be specified at the TPC. 2)
Cable access is through the pedestal “toe” at front.
FIGURE D-1 GPIO CONNECTOR PINOUTS

As shown above, each available pairing of pins (+/–) is defined as either an input or output. Configure a pin as
an input if you want the projector to respond to an incoming signal, or as an output if you want an external
device to respond to the projector. For example, configure the pin as an output in order to drive an external IR
emitter for 3D glasses, or to automatically reduce room lighting when the projector is turned on.

D.1.1 EXAMPLE: GPIO AND 3D DEVICE

1. Assemble a cable according to guidelines shown in Figure D-1 and Figure D-2.
2. Connect the cable to projector’s GPIO port and to your 3D device.
In the TPC’s Custom 3D Control menu, set Output GPO according to the pins wired in the GPIO cable
(see Figure D-1). For instance, if you have wired pins #10 (+) and #29 (-) to your 3D device, set Output
GPO to GPO #2.
