Status; Using Multiple Projectors - Christie M Series User Manual

Section 3: Operation
WARN WHEN LAMP REACHES (HOURS)
Enter the maximum number of hours (threshold) for lamp usage. When the threshold (set number of hours) is
reached on either lamp, a warning message displays on the status system, indicating that the lamp should be
changed. This setting is user-defined only, has no bearing on lamp warranty, and is not tied to actual lamp life
in any way. The default setting is 0, which means that the feature is off, and no warning will be generated.
LAMP 1 s/n and LAMP 2 s/n
Enter the serial number for the specified lamp. This will apply the serial number to the current lamp statistics
file. It will not perform the archiving as done by the CHANGE LAMP function.
Change Lamp - Submenu
Initiates the lamp change process for the selected lamp and allows the serial number of the new lamp to be
entered.
Lamp serial numbers are used for keeping statistics on each lamp used in each lamp position. Entering of serial
numbers is optional, but is recommended.
When using this function, the statistics from the previous lamp are archived, and starts statistics tracking for
the new lamp. If this function is not used, statistics are accumulated (combined) for both the new and old
lamps.
LAMP 1 HISTORY and LAMP 2 HISTORY
Lists the serial number and the number of hours logged for each lamp (current and previously) installed in the
projector. The current lamp appears at the bottom of the list. This entry is added automatically when you record
a new serial number during the lamp change process. See

3.11 Status

The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently
detected in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type
(size) of lamp, the hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your
projector model name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its
location, its frequencies and other details.

3.12 Using Multiple Projectors

IMPORTANT! When working with more than two projectors, work left to right, top to bottom.
When an installation requires multiple projectors, use the RS-232 serial ports to daisy chain the units together
and control the group with a single keypad or a computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a
network, you can choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the P
responses to an individual projector.
Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet network. See
Network for full routing details.
Matching Colors in Multiple Screens
In a multiple-projector wall, you will likely want to precisely match color and intensity from image-to-image
so that the full wall is as uniform as possible.
