Display panel Displays the projector menus and status. Keypad interface Controls the projector.
1. To adjust the vertical position of the projector, extend or retract the adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector using the adjustable knobs on the feet. Christie recommends adjusting the feet from the side or rear of the projector and not the front to avoid exposure to the output light.
Installing the projector lens Only use lenses designed for Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH projectors. Installing a lens not designed for Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH, results in a warning that the lens is not present. 1. Turn off the lasers.
When using the ultra short throw lens and switching between dark and bright content, focus drift can occur. To help to mitigate this issue, Christie recommends reducing brightness and focusing the content on what you primarily want the projector to focus on, or creating different profiles for the dark and light content.
Follow these steps to install an intelligent filter holder (IFH), which can be either a color comb 3D or 2D aperture filter, in a Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH projector. Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
If the the optical filter calibration was previously performed on a different inlet line voltage (110V vs 220V). Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH automatically stores LiteLOC calibrations on a filter-by-filter type basis, and an AC voltage basis. Calibration data is not lost or discarded when changing filters.
Use a minimum of 12 AWG copper wire, grounding included, for the connection of the AC power supply to the projector's ground lug. When Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH is turned on for the first time, a Hawkeye calibration is performed and this is considered the factory-level calibration. Subsequent calibrations are considered field-level calibrations.
Installation and setup 3. Disconnect the power supply cord. Disposing of the product packaging Once the product has been installed and set up, Christie recommends reusing or recycling the product packaging according to your local regulations. Completing the installation checklist Complete the provided installation checklist (P/N: 020-103137-XX) and return it to Christie.
4. To confirm your selection, select Enter. Running a Hawkeye calibration When Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH is turned on for the first time, a Hawkeye calibration is performed and this is considered the factory-level calibration. Subsequent calibrations are considered field-level calibrations.
For best convergence results, Christie recommends disabling all geometry and color (set the color correction mode to Max Drive) correction before adjusting convergence.
For the best stability, Christie recommends setting convergence while rotating the knobs in a clockwise direction. This may require first adjusting convergence by turning the knobs counter- clockwise, and finalizing the convergence with a clockwise approach.

Aligning the image to mechanical DMD convergence, Christie recommends completing mechanical convergence prior to making electronic adjustments. ™ ™ If warping with Christie Twist or Mystique , adjust the convergence mechanically. Do not use the electronic convergence feature. 1. Before adjusting DMD convergence, make sure the projector has reached a steady operational state.

Some video sources may not be fully compliant with the relevant SDI SMPTE standards and do not include the SMPTE 352M Payload ID information. If the picture from a 1.5G or 3G SDI source does not display as expected, contact Christie Technical Support for an command for SDI-Payload Override the specific signal type.
Christie Link video loop-out enables signals received on the Christie Link input (labeled Christie Link 1 on the Video Input panel (on page 63)) to be passed through to the Christie Link output (labeled Christie Link 2 on the Video Input panel (on page 63)). 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.
Connecting devices and establishing communication Input configuration Description One-Port Enables 2D or 3D connection from an SDVOE source (such as the Christie Terra Transmitter). For supported video formats for your projector model, see TruLife+ Supported Video Formats technical reference (P/N: 020-104081-XX).
Connecting devices and establishing communication VOM-HBI: 2. When using the Christie serial protocol over Ethernet, connect to port 3002. 3. For applications or equipment using serial communications, use the Christie proprietary serial protocol or Art-Net protocol to communicate with the Ethernet port on the Video Input panel.

There are 512 channels per universe. Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH specifies 24 channels. Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH 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.
HBI) is a micro 75 ohm BNC connector. Configuring the RS232 port Configure the RS232 port to send Christie serial commands using a standard RS232 serial cable (the R callout in the Video Input panel image).
