Stacking Frame Installation Instructions
2. Stacking Multiple Projectors
Warnings
Christie stacking hardware is required to prevent the top projector from sliding
off the stack. Failure to incorporate this hardware may cause injury or death.
The frame is designed to support a maximum stacking acity of three
projectors. Always stack before hoisting.
The projectors can be stacked and hoisted in either an upright or inverted
position. Do not mix orientations in a stack (i.e. invted and upright).
Never attempt to physically carry a stack of projectors. Always follow the
Hoisting Procedure, outlined on page 6.
When hoisting a stack combining oadster/Mirage Sand Roadster HD12K
models with any of the models listed in Table 1, use the hardware provided with
the Roadster/Mirage S+ and Roadster HD12K models to hoist the stack.
1. Place the first projector in the stack on a secure table or cart.
For upright stack: Plathe projector to bpositioned on the bottom of the stack
on the table or cart. Ensure the adjustae feet are NOT retracted on the bottom
projector. When installing thsecond and third projector in the stack the feet must
be retracted. All projectors must be stacked in the same orientation.
For inverted stack: Place the projector to be positioned on the bottom of the stack
on the table or cart. Ensure tadjustable feet ARE retracted. Repeat this step when
insg a second and tird projector. All projectors must be stacked in the same
orietion.
2. Turn each stacking leg until at least 1” of thread is visible.
For upright position: Extend the legs of the projector on the top of the stack.
For inverted position: Extend the legs of the projector on the bottom of the stack.
This clearance accommodates the up-or-down movement for image alignment.
Repeat Step 2 when installing a third projector.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all stacking legs are extended equally by at least 1”.

3. Loosen the nuts on the rear stacking legs to provide lateral movement for easier
alignment with the stacking mounts on the other projector.
For upright position: Release the rear stacking legs on the top projector.
For inverted position: Release the rear stacking legs on the bottom projector.
4. Remove the safety pins from each stacking mount in order to fit the stacking legs
into the stacking mounts. Refer to Figure 3.
For upright position: Remove the pins from the mounts on the bottom projector.
For inverted position: Remove the pins from the mounts on the top projector.
5. With one person positioned on each side of the projector, lift thop projector onto
the bottom projector, aligning all three stacking points between projectors. The
legs should fit inside the stacking mounts.
6. Turn the adjusting wheel on each stacking mount until the hole in the top portion
of the mount lines up with the hole in the stacking g. To make alignment easier
insert a screwdriver into one of the holes and use it to align the two holes.
WARNING
Step 7 is a critical safety procedure that must bobserved.
Failure to engage thsafety lockcould ause the
projectors to separate, rsulting in possible iry or death.
7. Insert the safety pin through the holes in
the stacking mounts and stacking legs.
Ensure each pin is fully inserted to engage
the safety lock and secure the projectors.
Refer to Figure 3.
8. Before hoisting, firmly tighten the nuts on
the two rear stacking legs. If the
projectors are ready for image alignment
keep the nuts slightly oose until
alignt is complete.

Stacking Frame Installation Instructions
Hoisting Procedure
Warnings
Remove the projector lens before hoisting.
The frame is designed to support a maximum stacking capacity of three
projectors. Always stack before hoisting.
All rigging must be in compliance with applicable local safety codes.
Only licensed riggers should perform the following procedures.
Use metric hardware only. Never force incompatible threads.
Never hoist a projector by its feet or any other component.
The projectors can be stacked and hoisted in either an ught or inverted
position. Do not mix orientations in a stack (i.e. inverted and pright).
Use this procedure to hoist one projector or a stack of projectors. To hoist a stack, first
mount two or three projectors according to the stacking procedure included in these
instructions. There are two hoisting techniques availabThese two options are used for
the various stacking combinations and for the hardware options available. These options
include, hoisting via the stacking frame handles or hoisting via the hardware on
Roadster/Mirage S+ and Roadser HD12K models.
Key Points:
•
When hoisting a stack combinng Roadster/Mirage S+ and Roadster HD12K
models with any of the models listed in Table 1, use the hardware provided with
the Roadster/Mirage S+ and oadster HD12K models to hoist the stack.
•
•
Whoisting via the stacking frame handles leave a 150mm space between the
rigging hardware.
Connect safety cables and rigging equipment to the designated locations on the
stacking frame.
•
•
Use the two eyebolts on the stacking frame as safety points.
Use hoisting and rigging equipment suitable to the application; such as clamps,
cables, eyebolts, or straps that accommodate the load rating. All integral, metric
hardware on the rigging hardware accepts an M12 thread only.

Stacking Frame Installation Instructions
Projector Alignment
Ensure the stacking legs are extended at least 1” and are slightly loose before
aligning the projectors.
Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so the resulting display is
optimized and as sharp as possible. If hoisting the stack do so first and then align. To
maintain alignment lock all stacking hardware into place.
•
Always align the fixed projector. For floor or table-mount (i.e. non-hoisted) stacks,
align the bottom projector. In hoisted stacks, align the top projector.
•
Leg nuts must be loosened before alignment; otherwise the stackmounts will
not turn and allow movement of the projector.
1. Position the fixed projector’s image as desired and align the other image(s) to it.
2. To distinguish between the images, enable Red for one display and Green for the
other. For more information, refer to the manual supplied with the projector.
3. Minimize each projector’s zoom until the images are focused.
4. Adjust the zoom and lens offset on e top projector precisely move its test
pattern display onto the bottom test pattern. When it is properly aligned all the
Red/Green grid lines in the combined image will turn Yellow.
•
•
If all lines are well-aligned, skip to Step 7 to lall stacking mounts.
If alignment needs improvement,
proceed to Step 5.
5. For well-aligned center lineturn the two
rear stacking mount wheels to move the top
projector. Use a screwdriver ithe holes
around the rim of each adjusting wheel for
better leverage and crol. Turned
inddently, each stacing mount acts as
a pivot point for the opposite edge of the
display. Refer to Figure 7. For example, turn
the right mount to tilt the left portion of the
image and turn the left mount to tilt the right
portion of the image. Turn the mounts
together to raise or lower the top image, or
turn the front stacker. If the center lines form
an X it indicates the projectors (and
images) are slightly tilted in relation to one
another. Turn one mount to raise one side,
and/or turn the other mount to lower the
other side. Refer to Figure 7.

•
If centerlines are parallel, but others are not, turn
the front stacking mount wheel to bring the
centerlines into alignment. Refer to Figure 9.
6. Adjust the zoom on the top projector to align the
edges of its image with the other image and then
adjust focus. When aligned, all lines from the
combined Red/Green grids will be Yellow.

WARNING
Step 7 is critical safety procdure that must be observed.
Failure to properlsecure stacking wheels could cause
the projectors to separate, resulting in possible injury or death.
7. Turn all three stacking wheels until they are firmly
secure against the rest of the acking mount.
8. Secboth rear leg nuts against the bottom of the
projector.
9. Repeat Steps 1-8 when a third projector is used.
