In applications where you are projecting only white or light images, the Blend Width
may be slightly higher—set according to how much overlap you have between
images.
As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled
remotely, typically at a controller such as a PC, via 1) simple bi-directional ASCII
messaging on an Ethernet or serial communication link or 2) a web interface or
"ChristieNET" on an Ethernet network.
VIA ASCII MESSAGING —
RS232 or RS422 port (recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet)
between your controller and the valid projector address. Valid ASCII codes and
messages are documented in the Christie Serial Communications document available
at the Christie website.
Connect your PC to the projector's Ethernet port. In your

projector is powered up, you can access assorted menu options and slidebars.
Repeat for remaining networked projectors as desired. Keep in mind that multiple
units can be controlled from one PC, but each unit will be in its own ChristieNET
interface (web browser) at the PC. Likewise, you can make up to five separate web
locations to a single projector.
The default login provides access to security settings, where you can define other
users with the same or fewer rights. Use "unlimited" rights for most applications. For
all logins, the Service menu is still protected with its own password.
NOTES: 1) Any proxy server settings that interfere with this type of link should be
disabled for using ChristieNET. Disable through Internet Explorer's < Tools>
<Internet Options> <Connections> <LAN Settings>. 2) Your PC must be Java-
enabled to v1.4.2 or higher to run ChristieNET. 3) Depending on your projector
model, certain controls provided through ChristieNET are non-functional.
Occasionally the projector will encounter an error condition that can interrupt normal
operation. Such a condition can be caused by a simple invalid keypad entry, an input
signal error (most common) or a system error. The manner in which users are to be
notified of error conditions is set in the Menu Preferences menu:
• To see error messages displayed on-screen, select the "
