Status; Using Multiple Projectors - Christie M-Series User Manual

• SINGLE LAMP SWITCH ON FAIL:
When this checkbox is enabled, if the current lamp experiences problems which prevent light on the wall, then
the projector will automatically attempt to start the other lamp. This applies if there is a failure to start a lamp,
or a failure during operation. This feature applies only to systems which have multiple lamps and are currently
set to run in a single lamp operating mode. A brief period with no light may occur before the other lamp
becomes active.
• LAMP S/N (LAMP 1 and LAMP 2):
Enter the serial number for the specified lamp. This will apply the serial number to the current lamp statistics
file. It will not perform the archiving as done by the CHANGE LAMP function.
• CHANGE LAMP:
Informs the projector that a lamp has been changed. This allows the serial number of the new lamp to be
entered.
Lamp serial numbers are used for keeping statistics on each lamp used in each lamp position. Entering of serial
numbers is optional, but is recommended.
When using this function, the statistics for the previous lamp will be archived, and new statistics will be started
for the new lamp. If this function is not used statistics will be cumulative, for both the new and old lamps
combined.
• LAMP 1 HISTORY and LAMP 2 HISTORY:
Lists the serial number and the number of hours logged for each lamp that has been installed in the projector.
The current lamp appears at the bottom of the list. This entry is added automatically when you record a new
serial number during the lamp change process.

3.11 Status

The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently
detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type
(size) of lamp, the hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your
projector model name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its
location, its frequencies and other details.

3.12 Using Multiple Projectors

IMPORTANT: When working with more than two projectors, work left to right, top to bottom.
When an installation requires multiple projectors, use the RS232 serial ports to daisy chain the units together
and control the group with a single keypad or a computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a
network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the P
responses to an individual projector.
Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet network. See
Network for full routing details.
