How the Projector Works

The CP2000-ZX accepts a variety of cinema or DVI-compatible "non-cinema" signals for projection on front
screens typical in commercial theatre or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a
short arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by three DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device) panels responding to
incoming data streams of digitized red, green, or blue color information. As these digital streams flow from the
source, light from the responding "on" pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the
screen through one or more front lenses, where all pixel reflections are superimposed in sharp full-color
images.

1.3.1 User Interface Overview

The CP2000-ZX incorporates two basic user interface systems: the
Control Display Panel and the Web User Interface.
The Control Display Panel (CDP) is a simple keypad with a small
alphanumeric LCD display panel that can be backlit for easy
viewing in dark projection rooms. It is used for simple setups and
local control of power, lamp douser control, channel selection, lamp
installation and alignment, etc.
The Web User Interface is a Web-based interface produced
internally by the projector, but displayed and controlled by a Web-
based browser on a remote, local area Ethernet network or at a
distance over internet protocol. The Web User Interface is a full
function setup and diagnostic tool that can be set up via a wireless
Ethernet connection for easy data entry and calibration from the theatre auditorium where the color
measurements are taken.
