Configure Multiple Projectors

When you install multiple projectors, audio is only available from the master projector. To play
content correctly, you must ingest content into each NAS device connected to a projector and each
projector must have a valid KDM key.
When using multiple projectors, you create play lists on the master projector only. If you are using
an automation device such as a Christie ACT, connect it to the master projector.
1. Install and align your projectors following the instructions provided with each projector.
2. Verify the main projector software is version 3.1.0 or later:
a. On the projector touch panel controller (TPC), tap Menu > About.
b. Verify the version specified in the Package Version field is 3.1.0 or later. If it is not, visit
the Christie web site and download the current software.
3. Connect each projector to a NAS or DAS device. A single NAS or DAS device cannot be shared by
multiple Christie IMBs. See
4. Connect an Ethernet cable to each projector and then connect the cables to the same switch.
Assign each projector an IP address that is on the same subnet.
5. Connect one end of a 75 ohm BNC cable to the Sync Out connector on the master projector and
then connect the other end to the Gen Lock connector on the slave projector.
If you are using multiple slave projectors, use a daisy chain cabling scheme to connect the
projectors to the master projector. To connect the slave projectors to each other, connect one end
of a 75 ohm BNC cable to the Sync Out connector on the first projector and then connect the
other end to the Gen Lock connector on the second projector. Repeat this cabling pattern on the
remaining projectors.
