Tpc; Pc/Laptop, Server Or Network; Adjusting Tilt And Leveling - Christie CP2000-SB Setup Manual

Section 3: Installation & Setup

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 3-27, and route
as shown in Figure 3-23, Figure 3-24, Figure 3-25, and Figure 3-26. 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.

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 3-28). 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.
Before adjusting tilt, ensure the projector is as
WELL-CENTERED () with the theatre screen as
possible for your installation area (refer back to
Figure 3-2).
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 (Figure 3-29), 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.
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.
