4K images at 120 frames per second. Mirage SST provides several design and installation advantages. Its small form factor allows it to be installed independently, or as part of a multi-projector array, into tight, challenging environments. The remote light source also allows the chilling equipment to be located away from the projector head where its noise will not impact the audience’s enjoyment of the show.
LCD display to provide information at-a-glance How the projector works The Mirage SST accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens, typical in commercial or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a laser illumination source, then fed to the projector through a fiber optic cable, where it is modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information.

Align the image with lens zoom and focus (on page 50). g) Run Auto Setup to optimize display settings (on page 50). 7. Configure Mirage SST to work with Christie Link (on page 50). Setting up the projector head 1. Position the projector as perpendicular to the screen as possible, even if significantly above the screen center.
Installing the projector lens Only use lenses designed for Mirage SST projectors. Installing a lens not designed for Mirage SST, results in a warning that the lens is not present. 1. Remove the lens caps from the lens.
Installing the J33 jumper box on the laser illumination source The J33 jumper box on the light illumination source is used for an external interlock e-stop and fire alarm e-stop triggers. The Christie-approved J33 jumper box closes off the connector to the interlock allowing Mirage SST to turn on.
1. Position the chiller on level ground. 2. Confirm the chiller can operate and maintain proper specifications as stated in the Mirage SST Projector Head Specifications Guide (P/N: 020-102994-XX) as it is plumbed to the laser illumination source.
Installation and setup Performing initial system start-up Learn how to turn on all components of the Mirage SST system for the first time: chiller, laser illumination source, and projector head. Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
Turning off the system Learn how to turn off all components of the Mirage SST system: projector head, laser and chiller. When powering off in preparation for inspection or maintenance, always disconnect from AC. 1. To turn the light source off using the projector keypad or remote, press and hold the button until you hear a beep.

4. Use the Convergence test pattern to assist with adjusting the horizontal and vertical lines. Vertical convergence and rotation is done by adjusting two knobs. Christie recommends rotating a single knob a maximum of a quarter rotation before adjusting the second knob a quarter rotation.
On the Input selection page, select the appropriate input marked Christie Link. More than one input source may be listed as Christie Link, depending on how many signals are being sent from Christie Link. For example, 0-1, 0-2, and so on, where 0 is the slot number.
Physically connects a remote control to the projector. 3D Sync In/3D Sync Out Supported for 3D-enabled projectors. Ethernet Connects to the web user interface and can send Christie serial commands. RS232 Sends Christie serial commands using a standard RS232 serial cable.
This card may or may not be included with your model. Standard inputs are subject to change. Connecting a video source using TSIC The Terra SDVoE (TSIC) input card accepts digital video data from a Christie Terra Transmitter. Input configuration Description...
The RS232 port located on the IMXB faceplate uses Christie-proprietary protocol and is intended for Christie accessories or automation controllers only. For more information, on the serial commands, see the Mirage SST Serial Commands Guide (P/N: 020-103005-XX) . 1. Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the Ethernet hub or switch to the Ethernet port, located on the projector IMXB faceplate.
