Connect Projectors for ArrayLOC

Christie Entero projectors use Christie ArrayLOC technology to automatically and continuously synchronize
color and brightness settings across all projectors in an array.

3.7.1 Hardware Requirements

One or more external Ethernet switches are required to create a private ArrayLOC network. To make sure the
network operates effectively, do not connect the ArrayLOC network to other external or internal networks. To
isolate the ArrayLOC network, you can physically separate the ArrayLOC network switches. You can also isolate
specific ports on some switches. If you are able to isolate specific ports, you might not need to purchase
additional hardware.
There are 2 configuration methods for ArrayLOC wiring: PHM and EM. PHM is the recommended method. See
the chart below for the hardware requirements.
Description
Supported projector software versions
Additional Hardware Requirements
Additional Ethernet cables required
Network switches required
Number of ports per switch
N = # of projectors
S = # of switches
Network switches do not need to contain a DHCP server (i.e., switches do not have to be routers). 
NOTES: 1)
2) Christie recommends, at minimum, a 100BASE–T type switch, 100 megabit Ethernet standard.
