Creating A New Channel; Selecting A Channel - Christie Mirage M Series User Manual

based on its frequencies and polarities, automatically displaying an image according to
default settings for that signal.
• In general, the image from the new source is as large as possible without losing its
aspect ratio. This and other default image settings depend on the incoming source.
• If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter, such as contrast
and V-Position, then a channel was automatically created and still exists in projector
memory. Using one of the input or slot keys automatically recall this channel, all its setup
parameters, and update the display accordingly.
• If more than one channel exists for the input, the image is displayed according to the
setup parameters for the first channel with matching characteristics.

Creating a new channel

To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be created so that the projector
responds to an input signal from that source. A new channel can be created automatically, or it can
be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary.
When you select a direct input (Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 3, or Slot 4), any existing channels in the
projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters–this only occurs if Auto Source is
enabled on these channels. If no match to the incoming input signal is found in currently defined
channels, a new channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of
signal. The channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 01-99.
Notice. Failure to comply with the following may result in property damage.
• An automatic channel is discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed and will not
appear in the channel list (see below).
• If two channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal of sync
connectors (H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are defined as distinct channels.
• You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.

Selecting a channel

Select a channel at any time by pressing Channel. To hide a channel from appearing in this list, you
must edit the channel. Such a channel can still be selected by entering its number as shown below.
The current channel is highlighted in the channel list, or if the current channel is hidden, the first
channel in the list is highlighted.
Channels created automatically do not appear in the channel list unless a parameter for the channel
has been changed.
