    OPERATION • Select to display an anamorphic image “ANAMORPHIC” in its native 16:9 aspect ratio. The image will fill the screen from top-to-bottom, and be centered between narrow black bars on each side. Size Size controls both the image width and height in tandem, maintaining the current aspect ratio (proportion) of the displayed signal data.

SHORT CUT: “Brightness” increases or decreases the amount of black in the image (0-100). For best results, keep close to 50. Start with a high value and decrease so that dark areas do not become black (i.e., are “crushed”).

  • Page 51: Noise Reduction

    OPERATION Noise Reduction Noise reduction is similar to the “Filter” control, but operates in the post-sampling digital domain with a more subtle effect. Higher settings are most useful for clearing up noisy RGB images such as those from a PC. Adjust as desired, keeping in mind that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image.

    A p p e n d i x A Glossary This appendix defines the specific terms used in this manual as they apply to this projector. Also included are other general terms commonly used in the projection industry as well as in the digital cinema projection industry. 3:2 Pulldown A frame sequence used to map 24 fps film to 30 fps video (or 24/1.001 to 30/1.001 fps) in which every second film frame is represented by three video fields instead of...
  • Page 100 GLOSSARY for distribution of the title, a version of the title, or an update for revision of the title in the field. Automation A system used in a theatre projection booth that responds to cues, commands or relay switches and then controls various elements of presentation, such as: picture format and corresponding lens (flat or scope) sound format and corresponding cinema processor settings curtain movement and position...
  • Page 101 The alignment of the red, green, and blue light elements of a projected image so that they appear as a single element. In this projector, convergence can be adjusted by Christie service personnel only. Curved Screen A projection screen which is slightly concave for improved screen gain. Curved screens usually have screen gains which are greater than 1 but viewing angles much °...
  • Page 102 GLOSSARY additional pixels are created by averaging together adjacent pixels in the original smaller image. Dot Clock The maximum frequency of the pixel clock. Also known as pixel clock rate. E-EDID The Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data standard, established by VESA, enables properties (such as resolution) of a display device to be detected by the display card in a controlling device such as a PC.

  • Page 104 GLOSSARY The amount of visible light per square meter incident on a surface. 1 lux = 1 lumen/square meter = 0.093 foot-candles Metadata Descriptive data about the format of the content—i.e., “data about data”. Upon receiving metadata, digital cinema projectors will "know" the correct aspect ratio of the image, and the sound processor will "know"...
  • Page 105 GLOSSARY Post Production The phase in film-making that occurs primarily after production ends; its processes include picture editing, sound effects editing and mixing, ADR, Foley, titles and opticals, dubbing and print mastering, CGI and visual effects, and scoring. Post production culminates in acceptance of the original negative answer print. Even though post production officially begins on the last day of principal photography, post production facilities such as editing are utilized from very early in the production phase in order to save time.
  • Page 106 Switcher A signal selector such as the Marquee Signal Switcher formerly manufactured by Christie that can be connected for adding more sources to a projector. Sync The part of the video signal that stabilizes the picture. Sync can occur in three forms: "Composite sync": the horizontal and vertical components are together on one...
  • Page 107 GLOSSARY Vertical Frequency The frequency at which images are generated or “output”. Vertical frequencies vary amongst sources. Also known as vertical scan rate. Vertical Offset The difference between the center of the projected image and the center of the projector lens. For clarity, offset is often expressed as the maximum percentage of the image that can be projected above or below the lens center without degrading the image quality.

  • Page 113: System Integration

    A p p e n d i x D System Integration The GPIO connector located on the Cine-IPM 2K front panel provides a flexible GPIO method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices to the Cine-IPM 2K, usually so that an event on one device automatically triggers an event on the other. There are 7 GIO pins available on the 9pin D-Sub GPIO connector, all of which are configurable via RS232 commands.
