Status; Using Multiple Projectors - Christie J Series User Manual

3.11.12Standby Active Loop-through
Enable this check box in situations where a Twin HDMI Input card is being used to loop signals out to another
projector. Standby Active Loop-Through ensures that video signals continue to be looped out when the
projector enters standby power mode.
NOTE: When the projector is in standby mode (and Standby Active Loop-Through is selected), limited
channel control is available - inputs can be switched, perform auto setup and some limited input settings can
be modified.

3.12 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.

3.13 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

3.13.1Match 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.
3.13.2Preliminary Calibration
All primary colors in the projector are precisely set to pre-established values to ensure that overall color
performance is optimized and is as accurate as possible. Lighting and other environmental factors may slightly
change how these colors appear on your screen. While the change is negligible in most cases, you may prefer
to recover the originally intended color performance before trying to match colors from several projectors.
To achieve consistency use a color meter to measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and white—
as they appear at the screen. Record these as Color Primary Settings in the Service menu (password-protected)
for each projector. On the basis of these new values, which are stored in memory, each projector will then
automatically calculate any necessary corrections to reproduce the original factory colors under the current
environmental conditions. This essentially calibrates a projector to its surroundings, compensating for factors
such as screen type; lamp and/or ambient lighting and will improve color accuracy and consistency in a group
of projectors. It ensures a good starting point for further customizing and matching; however, is not critical for
all installations.
