Exhaust Duct
Connect the projector's 8" top exhaust hole to a rigid duct (provided). Add Christie's
50/60 Hz heat extractor at the opposite end of the duct so that adequate airflow (600
cf/m) is maintained near the top of the projector. The vane switch in this vent will
prevent start-up and/or trigger a shutdown if airflow is inadequate. See Section 2,
Installation & Setup. In a stack of projectors, Christie's Side-Venting Duct Adapter
must be installed to redirect exhaust rising from the bottom projector's exit duct.
Input Panel
Connect input sources and a variety of communication cables here, all described in
2.5, Connecting Sources and 2.6, Connecting Communications. If desired, connect an
optional remote keypad having a small headphone jack type connector.
Lamp
Use one of the following lamp sizes (note ballast requirements):
Keep the lamp door closed and locked for all normal operation. Trained technicians
(only) can access the lamp via security key. Complete lamp details and warranties are
provided in Section 6, Specifications.
Lens Mount & Anamorphic Lens Mount
The 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 anamorphic lens mount may be added, providing a mechanism for
positioning a 1.25x anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens. Such a lens
horizontally spreads a pre-squeezed image back into its wider 2.39:1 "scope" image,
and is most typically used in side-masking displays.
Leveling Feet
Turn the 4 adjustable feet to increase or decrease projector height and/or tilt as
needed. For most installations, the projector will likely be slightly inclined to match
screen tilt – this reduces the amount of vertical offset required. See 2.3, Projector
Position & Mounting. For flown projectors, the feet can be removed.
DC Power Cables
Heavy-duty DC lamp cables between the ballast and the projection head are 6½ – 100
feet (2-30 meters) in length. The ballast, projection head and heat extractor fan all
include their own line cords.
Projection Head
The projection head houses all critical illumination and optical components as well as

the DLP processing technology responsible for combining light and incoming
source signals into brilliant high-resolution digital displays. Source inputs connect to
the input panel on the side of the projector. Projector function is controlled via the
