3. Working with one projector at a time, use the center brightness slide bar to adjust
the center brightness (brightness of the non-blended region) so that the center
intensity matches that of the brightest blended region (the center of all images
when blending a 2 x 2 display is the target area).
4. Use the following three color slide bars, Black Red Level, Black Green Level
and Black Blue Level, so the black hue of each projector matches.
5. You can choose which of the next four options, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, to use
depending on which edge of the projector you are working with has been edge
blended. The blend width can be adjusted to line up properly but by default it
corresponds to the edge blending setting determined for that edge.
6. The brightness and black hues of the blended region can be adjusted in more
detail in case fine-tuning is needed (may be only necessary for blending a 2 x 2
projector display because of blending differs for the sides and center).
NOTES: 1) The menu options vary depending on the Edge Blending parameters. 2)
You may need to re-adjust the black level hues following the overlap adjustments on
each blended edge. 3) When adjusting six or more projectors, you need to ensure that
the hue and brightness of each target area is matched at closely as possible.
As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled
remotely, typically at a controller such as a PC, via 1) simple bi-directional ASCII
messaging on an Ethernet or serial communication link or 2) a web interface or
"ChristieNET" on an Ethernet network.
VIA ASCII MESSAGING —
232 or RS-422 port (recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between
your controller and the valid projector address. Valid ASCII codes and messages are
documented in the Christie Serial Communications document available at the
Christie website.
VIA WEB INTERFACE —
web browser (Internet Explorer, for example), enter the IP address of the projector
you wish to control. This will start a password-protected ChristieNET application—

Repeat for remaining networked projectors as desired. Keep in mind that multiple
units can be controlled from one PC, but each unit will be in its own ChristieNET
interface (web browser) at the PC. Likewise, you can make up to five separate web
locations to a single projector.
