Position The Projector; Optional) Install Projector On Rack Stand - Christie CP2000-M User Manual

Section 2: Installation & Setup

2.1.1 Position the Projector

when it has been levelled.
1. Position the projector at an appropriate throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and vertical position.
Ideally, center the projector with the theater screen. If competing for space with an already present film
projector, aim the projector slightly off-center (Figure 2-1). This slightly increases side keystoning, but
minimizes the horizontal lens offset required.
NOTE: Unlike film projectors, it is best to keep the projector as parallel to the screen as possible, even if
significantly above the screen center. When a short throw distance combines with a very wide screen you
may have to forfeit some aim and stay more parallel to the screen. Use of lens offset can allow for an
undistorted image if the projector is perpendicular to the screen. Refer to
2. Once you have completed the remaining installation steps and the projector is up-and-running, adjust
precise image geometry and placement, as described in

2.1.2 (Optional) Install Projector on Rack Stand

An optional rack stand (P/N: 108-272101-xx or 108-282101-xx) and foot lock brackets (P/N: 119-100101-xx)
are available for use with the projector. For installation instructions, refer to the Rack Stand Installation
Instruction Sheet (P/N: 020-100060-xx). NOTES: 1) When using the rack stand with the CP2000-M/MR the
foot lock brackets are a mandatory safety measure to prevent the projector from tipping. 2) The rack stand's
feet are used for leveling only and not for tilting the projector. To prevent tipping ensure the required
accessories supplied by Christie are used.
