Note that text-based status/error messages also appear in the LCD Status Display
window on the Cine-IPM 2K front panel.
Invalid User Entry
A keypad entry not recognized by the Cine-IPM 2K triggers a short on-screen error
message identifying the problem. For example, if you specify a channel number that
is not available, the message "Invalid Channel will appear. Or if you try to enter the
wrong password, you'll see "Invalid Password". Press
and try again.
NOTE: On-screen display of "Invalid User Entry" messages cannot be disabled,
even if Display Error Messages has been set to "Off".
An input signal error message occurs if you are in presentation level (i.e., there are no
menus present) and have selected an input on which the Cine-IPM 2K detects a
problem. While menus remain operational and any key press will temporarily remove
any displayed error message, you must resolve the signal problem in order to
permanently eliminate the message.
No Signal
The message "No signal" occurs when there is no source signal detected at the
selected input—both HSYNC and VSYNC are inactive and the screen background is
black. Connect or correct the signal, or try another input.
Bad Sync
The message "Bad Sync" occurs when HSYNC or VSYNC are active but the signal
cannot be displayed. Such a condition occurs when only one of the two sync signals
is present, or when either sync signal is unstable or of the wrong frequency. Correct
the signal or select another input.
Other Signal Error Messages
In addition to the common "Bad Sync" and "No Signal" errors, you may encounter a
signal error message indicating that HSYNC and/or VSYNC are either too fast or too
slow. When such a message appears, check the frequencies shown in the Status
menu. If they are correct, then the signal is not recognized by the Cine-IPM 2K. On
some PCs you may be able to change the settings to generate a compatible signal. If
the frequencies shown in the Status menu are incorrect, check the cabling to see
where the problem might originate.
When the Cine-IPM 2K encounters a system malfunction, either a System Warning
message or a System Error message may appear. Both types of messages are
accompanied by a related text message in the LCD Status Display window. A system
malfunction can be cleared from presentation level, but may indicate the need for
service by a qualified service technician.
NOTE: System messages appear on-screen only if Display Error Messages has been
set to "Screen" or "All".
System Warnings
A system warning indicates that a system malfunction has been detected (Status
Display, below). A system warning message replaces any input signal message and
disappears when the input signal status changes. While the projector will remain
