need to ensure that the hue and brightness of each target area is matched at

As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled
remotely, typically at a controller such as a PC, via 1) simple bi-directional ASCII
messaging on an Ethernet or serial communication link or 2) a web interface or
"ChristieNET" on an Ethernet network.
VIA ASCII MESSAGING —
RS232 or RS422 port (recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet)
between your controller and the valid projector address. Valid ASCII codes and
messages are documented in the Christie Serial Communications document available
at the Christie website.

units can be controlled from one PC, but each unit will be in its own ChristieNET
interface (web browser) at the PC. Likewise, you can make up to five separate web
locations to a single projector.
The default login provides access to security settings, where you can define other
users with the same or fewer rights. Use "unlimited" rights for most applications. For
all logins, the Service menu is still protected with its own password.
NOTES: 1) Any proxy server settings that interfere with this type of link should be
disabled for using ChristieNET. Disable through Internet Explorer's < Tools>

enabled to v1.4.2 or higher to run ChristieNET. 3) Depending on your projector
model, certain controls provided through ChristieNET are non-functional.
