Selecting A Source; Aligning The Image - Christie Mirage M Series User Manual

The two lamp status LEDs go off to indicate that the lamps are off. The Power status LED shows
amber, indicating that the projector is in standby mode. The shutter LED displays amber, indicating
the shutter is closed. For a full description of the status indicator, see
option cards on page 44.
1. Press and hold Power on the keypad or remote for two seconds, or press twice quickly.
The lamps power on and the fans turn on.
The default settings for the projector are to perform a lens calibration after the insertion of a new
lens. If this is the first time the projector has been powered up with the lens, expect a short period
(about 15 seconds) where the lens moves slightly.

Selecting a source

1. To select and display the image for the connected source, press one of the input keys on the
remote, or on the built-in keypad.

Aligning the image

Only perform image alignment once the projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final
location. Basic image alignment ensures the image reflected from the DMDs is parallel and well-
centered with the lens and screen. This initial optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing
images on the screen and must be completed before final boresight adjustments. Before beginning,
make sure the projector is properly positioned in relation to the screen.
1. To display a test pattern press Test on the remote keypad or use the built-in keypad and press
the soft key that displays Test on the LCD display.
2. Select a pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as the Grid test
pattern showing the cross-hair centered across the image.
3. Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens.
Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. It is good
practice to have zoom adjustment color and focus adjustment color in the center of its range.
4. Holding a piece of paper at the lens surface, adjust offsets as necessary until the image is
centered within the lens perimeter. A full white field works best for this.
5. If the projector is mounted off center to the screen axis, offset the lens as much as required.
Aim the projector over slightly towards the center of the screen, but use caution when doing so,
as too much tilt will cause excessive keystone distortion.
6. With the framing pattern on screen, double-check projector leveling so the top edge of the
image is parallel to the top edge of the screen.
7. Ensure the projector is positioned in the throw distance range for the particular lens.
