Projector Overview

The M Series is a family of high resolution video/graphics 3
chip 1080p HD, SXGA+ , WUXGA and WXGA projectors, see
Table 1.3 M Series
next-generation DLP® technology provided by Texas
Instruments.

1.3.1 How the Projector Works

The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for
projection onto front or rear screens. Light is generated by dual
mercury lamps, then modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror
Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue
color information. Light from the "ON" pixels of each panel is
reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a
single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as
a sharp full-color image.

1.3.2 User Interface Overview

The projector can be controlled via a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system can be controlled
by an IR remote, wired remote or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and built-in keypad
allow some functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and provide a quickly accessible
interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be controlled using the Christie Serial
Protocol, via a serial or Ethernet connection to the projector. The Web interface provides access to the menu
system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen display) and to features that maintain the projector's software and
settings.
