1.1.2 HOW THE PROJECTOR WORKS

The CP2000 accepts a variety of cinema or DVI-compatible "non-cinema" signals for projection on
front screens typical in a 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.

1.2.1 VARIATIONS BETWEEN CP2000 MODELS

POWER LEVELS: CP2000 models differ in their power level-the CP2000h and CP2000-S offers
higher power for the largest venues, whereas the CP2000i offers intermediate power for smaller
venues. Before installation, make sure you have the correct pedestal for your region, installation, and
CP model:
In North America* or Japan (180-235 VAC 3-phase, 100-120 VAC single-phase)
• CP2000i use 4 kW pedestal (208 VAC)
• CP2000h use 7 kW pedestal (208 VAC)
*Also includes much of Central and South America
In Europe/Asia or other areas (342-456 VAC 3-phase, 200-230 VAC single-phase)
• CP2000i use 4 kW pedestal (400 VAC)
• CP2000h use 7 kW pedestal (400 VAC)
