Operating The Projector; Controlling The Projector - Christie Mirage M Series User Manual

Operating the projector

This section describes the controls and switches used for basic projector operation once it is
properly installed, aligned and configured by a Christie accredited service technician.

Controlling the projector

Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. DO NOT look directly into the beam
of the laser.
The projector is typically controlled using either the remote or built-in keypad. While each of the
keypads provides complete control of the projector, they differ slightly in their arrangement of keys and
in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than requiring use of the menu
system. You may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and
application.
• Remote Keypad—For wired or wireless control up to 25 feet (8 m) away. The remote keypad
controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a battery-powered infrared (IR)
transmitter. Use the remote keypad the same way you would use a remote keypad supplied
with a TV or VCR. When pressing a function key, direct the keypad toward the projector's front
or rear IR sensor. One of the two IR sensors on the projector detects the signal and relay the
commands for internal processing. A laser pointer is built into the remote keypad.
• Built-in Keypad—Located at the side of the projector.
Keep these guidelines (common to both keypads) in mind:
• Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required. Use Power,
Shutter, and on-screen display functions by doing one of the following:
• Press-and-hold (2 seconds)
• Press twice quickly, followed by pressing either the Up Arrow Key to switch on or the
Down Arrow Key to switch off once.
• In serial networks, pause briefly between adjustments to make sure that more distant
projectors can keep up with the commands. If you press a key while the projector is still
responding to the previous action, such as during power-up, the second key press may not take
effect.
As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically
at a controller such as a PC, through a web interface.
