    Purpose of the Barco ICMP device certificate The device certificate (*.pem) of the Barco ICMP is a digital certificate signed by Barco which is required when ordering the KDM to play a DCP that is ingested on the ICMP. The device certificate is stored inside the ICMP and on a web server.
  • Page 53 The KDM is a small file, and is typically emailed to the exhibitor. To create the correct set of KDMs for a site requires knowledge of the digital certificate in the projection system´s media block. R5906787 THOR 26/01/2018...

  • Page 54: Icmp Configuration Via Communicator

    • Verify internal clock of the ICMP. All installation and maintenance operations on the ICMP are performed via Communicator, the Barco config- uration software. Please refer to the Communicator user guide for further information. About Default settings The restore of factory setting is a feature that allows removing all settings performed on the ICMP and replaces them with the default values set at the factory.

    This procedure assumes that the HDD slot of the ICMP is empty. If not, see procedure "Removing a HDD from the ICMP", page 52. AUTION Always use a new empty spare part HDD approved by Barco to replace a malfunction HDD. Do not use a HDD from another ICMP HDD set. AUTION Always make sure that all HDDs in the ICMP HDD set have the same storage capacity.
  • Page 58 Once the RAID is completed the red LED turns off. AUTION It’s strongly recommended to complete the RAID recovery process prior to starting a show. This to ensure that the content integrity is preserved and that the show is not interrupted. R5906787 THOR 26/01/2018...

  • Page 59: Starting Up

    About the start up process To start up the Thor the sealed compartment of the Light Processor and the sealed compartment of the Laser Clusters must be brought into a ’condition’ which is safe for the electronics to operate (avoid moisture due to extreme cooling). In other words, the temperature and humidity inside these compartments must be brought within specs prior to activating the lasers and Light Processor.

  • Page 60: Switching The Thor Off

    About the switch off process To switch off the Thor in a safe manner to protect the internal electronics (avoid moisture due to warming up) the temperature inside the sealed compartments has to be brought back to ambient in a controlled manner. This process is called deconditioning.
  • Page 61 The sealed compartments are brought back to ambient temperature and humidity extraction is stopped. The de- conditioning process takes a few minutes and during this process the backlight of the Light button is blinking white. The projector status light is continuous green (in normal condition, no errors and no warnings). R5906787 THOR 26/01/2018...
