2.16 NON-CINEMA OPERATION

This section explains how to display alternative content originating from standard definition or high
definition non-cinema sources, such as a PC or other graphics devices. Connect the non-cinema
DVI-D source to the DVI D-A, DVI D-B ports. Each DVI-D port accepts and auto-detects progressive
scan, digital RGB sources (Table 2.5), displaying them in their original incoming format. For 3D over
DVI-D, only left/right-eye frame interleaved inputs are supported. A parallel approach where left-eye
is on 1 DVI-D input and right-eye on the other DVI-D input is not supported. The cinema processing
path is not required for the frame rate multiplication. For the non-cinema path, the max frame rate is 62
frames per second with single-link. NOTES: 1) Each DVI-D port is a single-link port for a single-link
cable/connector only. Using this pair of ports as a higher-bandwidth dual-link pair requires additional
hardware and is not currently supported. 2) Similarly, the 2 DVI-D ports can be operated as separate
single-link ports or, using both connectors in parallel, as a single twin-DVI port – primarily used for
10-bit processing with the Christie CineIPM2K™

2.16.1 Selecting a Source

For any display, the projector interprets incoming signal data according to 1 of 64 user-selectable
display files defined at the time of installation (and/or with each subsequent release of a new digital
cinema feature), and stored in projector memory. Each file is essentially a collection of processing/
display settings optimized for a particular cinema feature or alternative non-cinema content, enabling
consistent presentations with minimum further adjustment. Each file is represented by an assigned
"channel button" selectable over several pages of the Main menu. Depending on your installation, you
may have 0-64 different non-cinema sources defined for use.

To Select a Non-cinema Source

With a non-cinema source connected to the projector, select the desired non-cinema source display
button from the Main menu or by scrolling through a
projected display changes according to the corresponding file settings.

To Return to a Cinema Source

Select 1 of the cinema display buttons pre-configured for a cinema source input at port 292A or 292B
from either the Main menu or from the
and respond to the cinema source selected.
