129-012104-XX How the Projector Works The D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens, typical in commercial or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a short arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by 3 Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information.
12” screwdrivers: Phillips #2 (magnetic) and flat • 19mm and 7/8” wrenches • Assorted Allen keys (metric) • Christie approved protective safety clothing if working with the lamp • Lens cleaning tissue and solution D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
46. Shroud (2-piece) Covers the motorized lens mount assembly. Projection Lens A variety of lenses can be used with the D4K2560/Mirage 4K25. For a list of available lenses, see Accessories on page 63 Air Filter Cover and Air Filter Filters the intake air before it circulates through the front compartment to cool the main electronics.
• Keep the projector level when lifting or transporting. Avoid tilting the projector to the right. This can introduce an air bubble into the coolant hoses that can result in an air lock and the overheating of the projector. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
If using an optional rack stand (P/N: 108-282101-02), assemble the rack stand using the instructions provided with the rack stand. Use the hold down clamp (P/N: 116-100101-01) when securing the projector to the rack stand. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
2. Remove 4 screws securing the knockout plate to the bottom right corner of the front bezel. Remove the knockout plate. The AC supply is routed to the terminal block through an appropriate strain relief mounted on this knockout plate. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
Page 22
4. Reinstall the knockout plate and secure it with 4 screws. 5. Reinstall the bottom access panel over the terminal block and secure it with 2 screws. 6. If using a pluggable type-B cable, connect to the building’s AC power source. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. The D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 lens should be centered and parallel with the screen. This orientation ensures ideal lens performance with minimal offset. If this position is not possible (such as when the projector is significantly higher than the center of the screen), it is better to rely on offset rather than extra tilt.
2. Tighten the mounting arm until it fits tightly on the joint. 3. Connect the cable from the TPC to the connector on the rear panel of the projector. 4. Adjust the TPC angle for optimal viewing. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
To prevent the projector from overheating or becoming unsafe, an alarm condition will be triggered on the TPC if the duct is obstructed or a fan fails. It is recommended to regularly verify that the exhaust is unobstructed and functioning correctly. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
1. Use finger pressure to push down on the shroud clips, as shown by the red arrows. 2. Carefully slide the shroud sideways and forward away from the lens mount and lens, as shown by the black arrows. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
Make sure those within the vicinity of the projector are also wearing protective safety clothing. Never twist or bend the quartz lamp body. Use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie. Failure to comply results in death or serious injury.
3D source material. Hardware Requirements Note the following hardware requirements for stereo 3D applications: • Christie Digital Systems Mirage 4K Series projector • 3D stereo sync cable (for Direct-Input 3D) • A source, usually a computer with a 3D graphics card(s) •...
In response to the 3D Sync Out signal from the projector, the IR emitter emits an infrared signal to a receiver in the active 3D shutter glasses. This synchronizes the active glasses to alternatively open and close for the active stereo 3D applications. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
“ghosting” of the video content (known as cross-talk in stereo 3D applications) or other more subtle color artifacts. Visual performance can be optimized by adjusting the Dark Interval and the 3D Sync Delay settings. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
5. Optionally, adjust the 3D Sync delay as necessary. This adjusts the timing of the sync pulse in relation to the dark time transition on the DMDs. Use the default value of 0 as a starting point. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)
2. To select the correct EDID timing, go to Main menu > Image Settings > EDID Timing Select and select the required EDID timing. 3. Connect all the required cables between the 3D source and the projector. 4. Configure your 3D source. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)

50 cm (19.69 inches) around the projector and never block or cover the vents. Inspect and Clean the Airflow Interlocks The D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 uses two airflow interlocks. Check and clean these switches to remove accumulated dust or dirt that could impede movement.
The coolant color may fade over time, however this does not impact the ability of the coolant to exchange heat. Only use coolant recommended by Christie in this projector. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage and may void the projector warranty.
Maintenance Filtration Use only high efficiency Christie approved filters. Never operate the projector without the filter installed. Never reuse an old air filter. The air filters in this product cannot be cleaned thoroughly enough for reuse and can lead to the contamination of optical components.
Never twist or bend the quartz lamp body. Use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie. • Never attempt to remove the lamp when it is hot. The lamp is under extremely high pressure when hot and may explode.
2. Wrap a lens tissue around a swab and soak it in lens cleaning solution. The tissue should be damp but not dripping. 3. Gently wipe the surface using a figure eight motion. Repeat until the blemish is removed. Clean the lens only if absolutely required. D4K2560/Mirage 4K25 User Manual 020-101076-02 Rev. 1 (11-2013)

Troubleshooting This section provides information and procedures for resolving common projector issues. If a projector issue cannot be resolved, contact a Christie accredited service technician. Projector Does Not Power ON • Make sure the projector circuit breaker is set to the ON position.
Increase the lamp power. Lamps which are near end of service may not operate reliably at a lower power setting. • Fold mirror misalignment. Contact your Christie accredited service technician. • Integrator rod misalignment. Contact your Christie accredited service technician.
Verify the projector is level and the lens surface and screen are parallel to one another. • Adjust the vertical offset of the lens mount. • Integrator rod misalignment. Contact your Christie accredited service technician. Display has Suddenly Frozen • If the source is frozen, restart the source device.
