Section 1: Introduction

How the projector works

The projector operates based on DLP technology by Texas Instruments. An

external source provides the necessary XGA input signals accepted by the

projector. An internal 120W UHP lamp generates light, which then travels

through a rotating color wheel alternately passing red, green and blue light to the

single 0.7" imaging panel (also called a digital micromirror device or DMD).

Reflected light from the DMD then passes through the short throw projection

lens and displays on the external display screen.

NOTE: Refer to Section 3, for a brief description the projector’s main modules.

Ensure you have received the following components with your projector or

Section 2

Source Setup

This section provides details on how to connect various external sources to the

projector. All connections are made to the main input panel of the Electronics

Module (EM).

Introduction

It is recommended that you connect your sources before powering up the

projector.

2.1

Source

Connections

The top input interface provides 5 BNC connectors for connecting to a variety of

sources such as VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, Mac, PowerMac, DEC, Sun, SGI

and others. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-

on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.

Section 2: Source Setup

Connect Analog VGA signals to the 15-pin HD D-sub connector on the second

input interface. Figure 2.2.

Analog VGA Signals '

Figure 2.2. Analog VGA Connector

The second input interface is dedicated to digital video input signals conforming

to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard.

DVI Digital Video Signals '

To connect an incoming digital video signal to the projector, connect the cable

running from the source to the DVI input connector - the DVI output adjacent to

the DVI input connector remains empty. If you want to loop the source through

to another display device, connect a cable from the DVI output connector (that

was empty) to a DVI input connector on the digital display. See Figure 2.3.

To loop the DVI signal through a series of display devices continue looping

connection in this manner – your last device will have an empty DVI output

connector. See Figure 2.4. All projectors will display the same as the first

projector, no matter what type of input signal is present for other projectors, even

internal test patterns.

NOTES: 1) When looping a DVI input signal, all projectors will display the same

data from that one source.

There are two, 9-pin DIN connectors on the input panel dedicated to serial

communication. These connectors allow you to connect your projector to an

external controlling device with a serial interface, such as a personal computer,

for the purpose of communicating without having to use the keypad.

2.2

Serial Port

Connections

SINGLE PROJECTOR

If using a computer '

Connection: Using the appropriate serial communication cable (see Appendix

D), connect the controlling device (PC) to the serial port labeled RS-232 IN.

(Figure 2.9.)

Figure 2.9. Single Projector Connection and Communication Schematic

MULTIPLE PROJECTORS

Connection: When connecting multiple projectors in a network, use an

appropriate serial communication cable (Appendix D) and connect the controlling

device (PC) to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network.

With a second serial communication cable, connect the one end to the RS-232

OUT connector of the first projector and the other end to the RS-232 IN of the

next projector. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors (Figure

2.10.). The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS-

232 IN connector. Then set the baud rate of all projectors to match that of the

controlling device. Refer to Communication on page 3-19 for details on setting

baud rate.

NOTE: 1) In Figure 2.10 and Figure 2.11, the controlling device can only send

commands to the projector. It cannot query or receive any feedback from the

projector. If feedback from the projector is required, an RS-232 switcher must

be used and connected as shown in Figure 2.12. Call a Christie sales

representative for more information.

Section 2: Source Setup

There are two AC receptacles on the EM. To plug in a single projector, plug the

power cord into the top AC receptacle (labeled INLET). Then plug the 3-pronged

end of the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.

2.3 Power Connection

If you want to connect multiple projectors (up to a maximum of 4), connect a

second power cord to the AC receptacle (labeled OUTLET) on the left side of the

first projector and the other end to the AC receptacle (INLET) of the next

projector. Continue connecting power cords in this manner until you reach the

last (or 4^th) projector in the chain. The last projector will have an empty AC

receptacle OUTLET. See Figure 2.13.

Input voltages must be capable of 100-240 VAC. Use an appropriately rated

AC power cord with the projector. The power cord supplied is approved for

North American use only. See Section 5, Specifications for all power

requirements.

WARNING

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord

are not within the specified voltage and power range.

Section 3

Operation

This section provides a general description of the projector’s main components. It

also provides details on the projector’s software menu system.

The modular design of the projector allows the user to access and service specific

components of the projector, such as the lamp, quickly and easily without having

to disassemble the entire projector.

3.1

Projector

Overview

Figure 3.1. The Projector (shown in lens horizontal configuration)

The PHM is the largest module of the projector. It contains all the main optical

components of the projector such as the short throw projection lens, color wheel,

DMD and lamp.

Projection Head Module '

(PHM)

In the RPMX projector, the PHM is shipped in a 0 degree (lens horizontal)

configuration. With a quick changeover of mounting brackets, the module can be

flipped to a 90-degree (lens vertical) position for rear screen projection

applications using an optical fold mirror. (In CX50/CX60/CX67 products the

projector is already in the 90-degree position.)

Located on the top of the PHM is a small red switch that allows you to switch the

lamp power from 100W to 120W. It is recommended that you choose the 100W

setting when you are performing setup procedures for the first time.

RPMX/CX50/CX60/CX67 User’s Manual 3-1

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Section 3: Operation

The EM is the main control unit of the projector. It is mounted independently

from the PHM to the mounting tray. It is the module where all source

connections are made and where the main power switch is located.

Electrical Module (EM) '

The EM contains the majority of PCB’s, such as the Control PCB, BNC Input

PCB, Video Input PCB and Control RS-232C PCB. In general, these boards are

responsible for the video processing and communication requirements of the

projector. It also houses the IR sensor PCB and the Power PCB.

Located on the input side of the EM are 3 LEDs. These LEDs will illuminate in

patterns, which represent the status of the projector and/or any error conditions

that may be present. Refer to Table 3.1. for the status of the LEDs during normal

operation and at the end of this section for system error codes.

You can correct the geometry of a displayed image by adjusting the uniquely

designed 6-axis adjustment mechanism. The PHM can be mounted to this

mechanism in a lens horizontal (0 degree) or a lens vertical (90 degree)

orientation. The mechanism, which is manually adjusted, can be adjusted to

correct any geometric misalignment between the projector and the screen.

Typically, this mechanism only requires adjustment during the initial setup of the

projector. Adjustments can be locked in place to avoid tampering and the need

for re-adjustment.

6-Axis Adjuster '

The 6-axis adjuster and EM are mounted to a welded frame called the mounting

tray. The purpose of this tray is to keep the modules together and makes the

installation process easy. It can be installed on any sturdy, flat surface as long as

all four mounting points are used to secure it in place.

Refer to the separate Installation Guide provided in the User’s Kit for installation

instructions and how to adjust the 6-axis adjuster.

NOTE:

Do not ceiling mount this projector.

Section 3: Operation

The projector is controlled by an IR remote keypad that is supplied in the User’s

Kit. It is operated by 2 AA batteries and provides wireless control of the

projector from up to 100 feet away.

3.2 Using the Keypad

Keep in mind the batteries will require replacement over time. If the projector is

not responding to keypad entries and there isn’t an obstruction of the IR sensor, it

may indicate the batteries require replacement.

The IR remote keypad controls the projector by

way of wireless communications from a battery-

powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR

remote keypad the same way you would use a

remote keypad supplied with a TV or VCR.

When making key presses, point the keypad

directly at the center of the screen.

IR Remote Keypad '

Keep in mind the following when using the

keypad:

Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no

simultaneous key presses required.

repeat their “arrow”

actions when held down. For other keys,

release and press again to repeat an action. In

a network, pause between adjustments to

ensure that the last projector can “keep up”

with the commands.

If you press a key while the projector is busy

with another action, such as during a power-

up, the key press may not take effect.

When you turn on the projector it begins

operating at presentation level, such as an image

from the most recently used source signal. The

projector temporarily leaves presentation level whenever you use the keypad to

work with control settings, display menus, or on-line help. For example, pressing

after startup displays the main menu — presentation level is no longer

active, although the image still appears in the background. Press

option. It occurs only when the values for Size and Vert Stretch (in the Size

and Position menu) are altered.

The values you choose for Custom will remain in the projector’s memory for

the current source, until they are modified.

NOTES: 1) When you are using your projector for the first time, Custom will

not appear in the list of Resize Presets or “Tiled” presets. This option only

appears when the values for Size and Vert Stretch are modified.

Size

Adjust Size when you want to change the image width and height

simultaneously, while maintaining the current aspect ratio of data from the

incoming signal. As you adjust the slidebar for Size, you will notice the value for

Vert Stretch changes accordingly and image proportion is maintained.

Vert Stretch

Adjust Vert Stretch (short for “Vertical Stretch”) when you want to adjust the

height of the image while maintaining the width of the image. By adjusting this

option, you will change the aspect ratio of the image. NOTE: Adjusting this

option does not change the value for Size.

Pixel Tracking

Use this option to adjust the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by

the number of pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source

are sampled. Proper pixel tracking ensures that the image quality – whether good

or not – is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is correct and that pixel

phase can be optimized.

Pixel tracking is adjusted most effectively using a good test pattern, such as a

smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of tiny black and white dots, or a similar

“one pixel on, one pixel off” graphic image, such as the Windows shutdown

screen. Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire

image indicates poor pixel tracking. Adjust the slidebar until the stripes broaden

and

Pixel phase

Use this option to adjust the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the

incoming signal. It is used primarily for adjusting RGB inputs.

Adjust pixel phase when the image (usually from an RGB source) shows

shimmer or “noise”. Pixel phase adjustment is done most effectively using a

proper test pattern, such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of tiny

black and white dots, or a similar graphic image, such as the Windows shutdown

screen. Adjust this option until the image is stable and each dot is clearly defined.

Using the numbers on the slidebar as a guide, you will notice that you can

actually stabilize the image at more than one point—i.e., you may find that the

image appearance at "11" is identical to the image appearance at "38", thus you

can select either setting.

Contrast

Select Contrast when you want to increase or decrease the perceived difference

between light and dark areas of your image (0-255). If contrast is set too high, the

light parts of the image loses detail and clarity. If the value is set too low, the

light areas will not be as bright as they could be and the resulting image will

appear dim. Start low and increase so that whites remain bright but are not

distorted or tinted, and that light areas do not become white (i.e., are “crushed”).

For best results, keep close to 128 for graphics (mid-range value).

Brightness

Select Brightness when you want to increase or decrease the amount of black in

the image (0-255). Start high and decrease so that dark areas do not become

DETAIL

Detail adjusts the sharpness of the video image. Use

until the

display is as sharp as possible, keeping in mind that any level of detail above

3 (default) increases the level of detail as well as introduce some level of

noise in the image. Set below 3, to filter the signal and remove noise from a

noisy source. Keep at 3, to apply no detail. NOTE: This option is only

available when using a video source.

GAMMA

The Gamma option affects the shape of the curve determining what gray

shades are available for a given amount of signal input between minimum

(black) and maximum (white). Different curves can improve performance for

certain kinds of source input and applications. Generally the best gamma

curve is one that produces maximum contrast, brightness and color

performance for the current signal and ambient lighting conditions. There are

four preset gamma curves to choose from. They are: Photographic,

Enhanced Photographic, Enhanced Graphics/Video or Max. Brightness.

See Figure 3.12. NOTE: The option that appears highlighted in the list of

preset gamma curves is the current gamma curve applied to the incoming

signal.

All temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin and represent the

“coloration” (reddish or bluish) of the whites displayed by the projector.

Whites appear more reddish when a low color temperature is selected and

more bluish when a higher color temperature is selected. NOTE: 6500K is the

default color temperature.

User1, User2 - Select User1 or User2 if you want to create a custom color

the name of this standard in this window (Figure 3.14.). Press

to view or

select a different video standard from a complete list available to the

projector. When you select a specific standard from the list available forces

the projector to process the current incoming signal according to this

standard.

NOTE: The default for Video Standard and the option that is recommended

for use for most signals is Auto. If you are using a poor quality signal or a

black-and-white signal Auto may not be the best selection to detect and view

these signals, instead, select a relevant standard from the list.

Section 3: Operation

“crushed” nor excessively elevated. By default, the projector automatically

determines the correct setting according to the type of incoming video signal:

•

0 IRE – Select this setting for DVD output with “enhanced

black”, SECAM, most PAL standards, and Japanese NTSC.

7.5 IRE – Select this setting for most NTSC video signals.

Figure 3.15. Input Video Black

NOTE: You can override the setting for some types of video. The control is

disabled for other types of video, and also for graphics sources.

Input Levels (for experienced users only)

The projector automatically optimizes input levels for all but the most unusual of

sources. Before attempting an input level adjustment make sure brightness and

color temperature settings are properly set. It is also recommended that you

keep the White Boost option OFF (0).

Figure 3.16. Input Levels

Good RGB or input levels – that is, the drives and black levels for each of the

three colors, red, green and blue – ensure that images from analog sources other

than decoded video have maximum contrast without crushing black or white. By

default (and when performing an Auto Setup from the Main menu), the projector

automatically determines the best input levels by monitoring image content and

adjusting the controls appropriately. Typically, further adjustment is not required

in order to obtain proper black or whites.

AUTO INPUT LEVELS

The Auto Input Levels option is useful when an unusual source is used that

may require further color temperature and/or input level adjustment. For the

Auto Input Level feature to work you must use a 16-step grey scale test

pattern with black on the left and white on the right.

Enter

With this option highlighted, press

and wait for the six remaining values

in the menu to stabilize indicating the process is complete. (Figure 3.16.)

NOTE: It is recommended Contrast and Brightness settings remain at their

default when adjusting Auto Input Levels.

Section 3: Operation

BLACK LEVELS & INPUT DRIVES

An experienced user can manually adjust the black levels and input drives for

a source that exhibits high black levels. By adjusting the slidebars here, you

can refine the image source input levels. NOTE: Input levels are of limited

use with digital signals.

To check an image and manually adjust black levels and input drives:

1. Make sure overall Contrast and Brightness (in Image Settings) are both

set close to mid-range.

2. Check the color temperature setup using an external 16-step grey scale

test pattern with black on the left and white on the right.

3. Make sure you are using an analog source – input levels are not

applicable for digital sources or sources going through a decoder.

4. If the blacks and/or whites of an image appear okay, input levels do not

need adjustment. If the black levels are too high (and/or whites are too

low, which is rare) you likely have a noisy source that is producing

skewed input levels. Continue with Step 5.

5. Initialize Auto Input Levels and wait for all 6 values to stabilize.

Alternatively, do not use the Auto Input Levels option and instead reduce

black levels manually. Judge by eye and change one or more of the six

levels as necessary to obtain proper blacks and whites.

IMPORTANT

Do not use Input Levels to adjust color temperature.

This will distort Contrast and Brightness settings as

well as Color Temperature.

White Boost

This option allows you to recapture some of the lost light from the transition

between segments in the color wheel when it is spinning. Use the slidebar to

increase the value of White Boost from 0 to 10. When set to a value of “0” the

option is OFF. As you increase the value, you will notice the image becomes

slightly brighter and a little less saturated.

NOTE: It is recommended Auto Setup and Auto Input Levels be adjusted prior

to applying White Boost for new sources. 2) For NTSC, HDTV, PAL and SECAM

video and graphics signals the default is set to “10”. 3) White Boost is disabled

when an internal test pattern is displayed – the option appears in yellow text. 4)

It is recommended White Boost remain at 0 when adjusting input levels.

Enter the lamp serial number for each new lamp installed and used in the

projector. The serial number can be up to 13 characters in length and can be

entered using the RS232 command LPC. For example: (LPC AAAA123456789).

Once a new serial number is entered the lamp timer is reset back to zero.

Select Lamp History to access a smaller dialog box with read-only information

about the history of previous lamps installed and recorded. The serial number and

number of hours logged for each lamp is displayed. The Lamp History is

automatically updated whenever the serial number for a new lamp is recorded.

The information for the new lamp is added to the bottom of the list.

NOTE: 1) Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This

will help ensure the lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number

of hours logged on the lamp will be accurate. 2) The lamp serial number can be

found on the lamp itself.

Choosing a Lamp Power

A switch, located on the PHM, allows you to select the power level (in watts)

that you wish to apply to the lamp. (Figure 3.33.) You can choose from two

settings – 100W and 120W (100W is default). It is important to keep in mind that

the power level you choose affects light output and possibly the life span of the

lamp.

Flipping the switch to 100W produces slightly dimmer images than if the setting

was at 120W. And although there are exceptions, in most lamps, the higher the

light output or power setting, the shorter the life span of the lamp.

It is recommended that you power down the projector before switching to a

different lamp power setting.

Defining the Size of '

a Display Wall

Figure 3.35.

For the image on a display wall to appear seamless, color and brightness must be

precisely matched from screen to screen. This requires the adjustment of the

projector’s primary colors from the Adjust Primary Colors menu.

Matching Colors of '

Multiple Projectors

NOTE: Projectors manufactured later than August 2005 are color-adjusted at

the factory to reduce adjustment time at site. Thus projectors should closely

color-match following installation. Only minor adjustment should be required.

Use the procedure below to ensure you achieve a uniform display.

When matching screens in a display wall, do the following:

NOTES: 1) It is recommended that you begin this procedure with all projectors

at the same power level - 100W recommended setting. 2) Look at the center of the

screen when performing this procedure. 3) A color meter can be used, but is not

required to successfully perform this procedure. 4) Color matches are optimized

for graphic sources. If using video sources with over-adjusted primary colors,

you may notice a slight posterized or banded effect in images. 5) It is

recommended that you look at the white color temperature again after installing

a new lamp.

Step 1: Preliminary Setup

1a) Setup and optimize all projector settings – Optimize projector settings

push the upper portion of the cover down until it snaps into place. If you don’t

hear a “click” the cover is not in position. Remove the cover and try again

ensuring the bottom edge of the cover gets inserted into the rim.

The projector operates using a 120W UHP lamp. Typically, aging lamps

gradually decrease in their intensity. You can check the number of hours the

lamp has been in use by checking Lamp Hours in the Lamp menu. It is

recommended that you be aware of the number of hours the lamp has been in use

and the quality of light output produced by the lamp. These are good indicators

as to when the lamp requires replacement. If the lamp burns out, because it has

reached the end of its life or it has failed for some other reason, it should be

replaced with another lamp.

Foot-candle '

Foot-lambert

The luminance (brightness) which results from one foot-candle of illumination falling

on a perfectly diffuse surface.

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.

Appendix A: Glossary

A display of help information regarding the current task or presentation.

Help Screen '

The frequency at which scan lines are generated, which varies amongst sources. Also

called horizontal scan rate or line rate.

Horizontal Frequency

The difference between the center of the projected image and the center of the

projector lens. For this projector, this value is expressed as the maximum percentage

of the image that can be projected to one side of the lens center without degrading the

image quality. Horizontal offset ranges can be affected by the type of lens in use, and

whether or not the image is offset vertically at the same time.

Horizontal Offset

A circular area of a screen where the image appears brighter than elsewhere on the

screen. A hot spot appears along the line of sight and "moves" with the line of sight.

High gain screens and rear screens designed for slide or movie projection usually

have a hot spot.

resolution without increasing the horizontal line rate. If the resulting frame/field rate

is too low, the image may flicker depending on the image content.

A small push-button device for controlling most projector settings and operation.

Keypad '

A distortion of the image, which occurs when the top and bottom borders of the

image are unequal in length. Side borders both slant in or out, producing a “keyhole”

shaped image. It is caused when the screen and lens surface are not parallel.

Keystone '

As the lamp ages, the shape of two anodes may changes from two points to a

flattened state. When this occurs, the arc jumps across the gap from varying points.

This is seen as image flicker. NOTE: Lamp flicker can occur at any time in the lamps

life. The length of time, over which flicker may occur varies considerably and

unpredictably. This behavior is inherent in UHP lamps.

Lamp Flicker '

The reproduction of the horizontal and vertical size of characters and/or shapes over

the entire screen.

Linearity

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.

Line of Best Viewing

The method of feeding a series of high impedance inputs from a single video source

with a coaxial transmission line in such a manner that the line is terminated with its

characteristic impedance at the last input on the line.

Loopthrough '

(Loopthru)

The unit of measure for the amount of visible light emitted by a light source.

Lumen '

Lux

The amount of visible light per square meter incident on a surface.
