Boresight Alignment - Christie Matrix StIM-WQ User Manual

Setup Procedures

Boresight Alignment

• Boresight alignment is an advanced feature and should only be performed by experienced
• You can also use the Grid or Edge blend test pattern to perform boresight alignment.
1. Display the Boresight test pattern
by pressing Test on the IR remote
and use the Left arrow key to cycle
to Boresight.
2. Adjust the lens focusing ring until
each square displayed in the
Boresight test pattern is focused. If
all 3 squares are in focus, no further
action is required.
3. If boresight is required, see the
image on the right to understand
how the adjustment screws on the
lens mount affect the corresponding
squares on the test pattern.
4. Use a 5 mm hex key to loosen the 3
locking set screws on the lens
mount. The set screws must be
backed out several turns, so that
they do not contact the inner lens
mount plate.
5. Fine tune the focus of square 1, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is
in focus with minimal flare.
6. Adjust square 2, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with
minimal flare.
7. Adjust square 3, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with
minimal flare.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7, as required until all squares on the test pattern are equally focused. If the
boresight is acceptable, continue to step 11. If the boresight does not appear to be converging to
an acceptable level of image quality or if the lens will not focus over the correct range of throw
distances, then the boresight requires coarse adjustment. See step 9.
9. The original factory boresight can be recovered approximately by positioning the 3 set screws.
Position the set screws flush with the front face of the lens mount plate and in contact with the
inner lens mount plate. This may require adjusting both set screws and cap screws.
10. If further action is required, repeat step 2.
11. Lock the set screws, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the set screws to prevent them
from shifting.
12. When the image is focused, lock adjustments in place by tightening the adjustment screws until
just tight.
