Workflow: Installing and setting up the Christie Eclipse system Identify the recommended order for installing and setting up the components of the Christie Eclipse system. These tasks detail the steps for installing both single (3P) and dual (6P) systems. For the dual system, repeat the tasks for both the left-eye and right-eye systems, making sure you connect the correct light source to the correct projector head.
To tilt the projector more than 15° up or down, remove the feet and mount the projector to a custom engineered mounting system designed specifically for this projector and installation. If the projector is to be installed beyond 15° of tilt, contact the Christie Custom Fulfillment team for additional consultation.
1. Ensure the projector is disconnected from power and has sufficiently cooled. 2. Remove the integrator rod. For details on removing the integrator rod, see the Christie Eclipse Service Guide (P/N: 020-103344-XX). 3. Insert the alignment target (P/N: 011-107185-XX) into the integrator rod holder.
The J33 terminal block on the light illumination source is used for an external interlock E-stop and fire alarm E-stop triggers. The J33 terminal block closes off the connector to the interlock allowing Christie Eclipse to turn on. As of October 2020, a J33 terminal block and a 30.4 m (100 foot) cable are optionally available with the laser rack to enable the Power key in the remote position.
QD connectors are on the port marked SUPPLY on the laser rack and on the return side of the chiller. Hoses supplied for use with the Christie-supplied QD system have a male QD on one end and a female QD on the other end regardless of the presence of any 90° elbows that may or may not be used in the system.
Installation and setup Performing initial system start-up Learn how to turn on all components of the Christie Eclipse 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 Christie Eclipse 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.
Shutter open The shutter is open. Adjusting the image Ensure the content displayed by the Christie Eclipse has a high quality appearance by manipulating the image settings. Aligning the image Follow these steps to align the image.

DMD convergence must be performed by a Christie qualified technician. This information is a supplementary guideline on convergence and does not replace personal tool preferences, mechanical experiences, and individual techniques.
Christie Link video loop-out enables signals received on the Christie Link input (labeled Christie Link 1 on the Video Input panel) to be passed through to the Christie Link output (labeled Christie Link 2 on the Video Input panel). The loop through connection is automatically established whenever active Christie Link QSFP modules are plugged into the respective connectors on the projector's Video Input panel.

10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet Communicate with a remote computer, server, or an existing network using a RJ-45 cable. The port located on the Video Input panel uses Christie-proprietary protocol or Art-Net control protocol and is intended for Christie accessories or automation controllers only.
There are 512 channels per universe. Christie Eclipse specifies 24 channels. Christie Eclipse has multiple methods of being controlled in addition to Art-Net. If a setting is changed through another interface, the DMX controller can re-assert control by changing the value on the appropriate DMX channel.
