Projector overview

The M Series is a family of high resolution video/graphics three chip 1080p HD, SXGA+, and WUXGA
projectors. These projectors are based on next generation DLP
Instruments.
The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto front or rear screens.
Light is generated by dual mercury lamps, then modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD)
panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the ON pixels of each
panel is reflected, converged, and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, where all
pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.
The projector is configured through a on-screen display (OSD) menu system displayed on the image,
controlled by an IR remote, wired remote, or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and built-in
keypad allow some functions to be controlled without the need of the OSD, and provide an accessible
interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be controlled using the Christie
serial protocol, through a serial or Ethernet connection to the projector. The web interface provides
access to the menu system as a virtual OSD and to features that maintain the software and settings.
