Optional Inputs
Connecting a switcher
'
Optional modules from Christie allow you to increase your total number of inputs
and/or accommodate different signal types, whether analog or digital. Any one of
these modules can be installed in the projector area labeled

Alternatively, the analog interfaces (i.e., non-digital) can be installed in a Marquee
Case/Power Supply or Marquee Switcher, if desired, for use with the projector.
NOTES: 1) Audio ports on optional interfaces are non-functional. 2) Optional digital
interfaces cannot be used in a Marquee Case/Power Supply or Switcher. 3) Connect
analog HDTV signals directly to
INPUT 2
—the optional HDTV Input Module used in earlier Christie projectors is not
needed or recommended . 4) See Appendix F, Optional Input Modules for a brief
description of each interface.

You may wish to use one or more external Marquee Signal Switchers or a third party
switcher in order to significantly increase the number of sources you can select. If
you are using a Marquee Signal Switcher, connect the switcher's RGB output to
INPUT 1
and connect an RS-232 serial communication cable between the switcher and
the projector serial port labeled
communication link (permanently set at 9600 baud) enables you to access inputs
connected to the switcher in the same manner as those connected directly to the
projector. For most other third-party switchers, connect and access sources according
to the documentation provided with that switcher. Use high-quality shielded cables.
NOTE: Make sure any Marquee Signal Switcher connected directly to the projector
is set as "Switcher #1". If it is not, unplug the switcher and turn the thumbwheel to
"1" before plugging back in and connecting to the projector and/or network.
