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 6 or
more projectors, you need to ensure that the hue and brightness of each target area is matched at
closely as possible.
3.11 Remote Control of the Projector
As an alternative to using a remote, 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
Via ASCII Messenging. Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS-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 on the Christie website.
Via Web Interface. Connect your PC to the projector's Ethernet port. In your web browser (Internet Explorer,
for example), enter the IP address of the projector you wish to control. This initiates a password-protected

Repeat for remaining networked projectors as desired. Keep in mind that multiple units can be controlled from
1 PC, but each unit will be in its own ChristieNET
make up to 4 separate web locations to a single projector.
The default login provides access to security settings, where you can define other users with the same or fewer
rights. Use "unlimited" rights for most applications. For all logins, the Service menu is still protected with its
own password.
NOTES: 1) Any proxy server settings that interfere with this type of link should be disabled for using

3.12 Error Conditions
Occasionally the projector will encounter an error condition that can interrupt normal operation. Such a
condition can be caused by a simple invalid entry, an input signal error (most common) or a system error. The
