Create A New Channel; Using A Channel - Christie M Series User Manual

Section 3: Operation
• If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter, such as contrast, V-Position, etc., then a
channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory (see CHANNEL below). Using one of
the input or slot keys will automatically recall this channel, all its setup parameters, and update the display
accordingly.
• If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according to the setup parameters
for the first channel with matching characteristics.

3.3.2 Create a New Channel

To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be created so that the projector will respond to an
input signal from that source. A new channel can be created automatically, or it can be copied from an existing
channel and then edited as necessary, refer to Figure 3-6 Copy A Channel and Figure 3-7 Delete a Channel.
When you select a direct input (S
searched for matching input and signal parameters – this only occurs if Auto Source is enabled on these
channels. If no match to the incoming input signal is found in currently defined channels, a new channel is
temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of signal. The channel number assigned is
the lowest available number from 01-99.
NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed and will
not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If 2 channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics
except for the reversal of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as
distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.

3.3.3 Using A Channel

You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing C
from appearing in this list, you must edit the channel, see Figure 3-3 Channel List. Such a channel can still be
selected by entering its number as shown below.
NOTES: 1) The current channel is highlighted in the channel list, or, if the current channel is hidden, the first
channel in the list is highlighted. 2) Channels created automatically do not appear in the channel list unless a
parameter for the channel has been changed.
