Page 17 Installation & Setup WARNING Do not stack more than three projectors. WARNING Christie stacking hardware required. The top projector could slide off and cause injury or death. WARNING Never carry a stack. STEP 1  Position the projectors Place the projectors to be stacked on a secure table or cart.
Page 18 Installation & Setup STEP 3  Extend the three stacking legs Extend the stacking legs by turning them so that at least one inch of thread is visible on each. This clearance accommodates the up- or-down movement for aligning the images from the stacked projectors.
Page 19 Installation & Setup STEP 5  Release and remove three safety pins The safety pins must be removed from the stacking mounts so that the stacking legs can fit into the mounts (Figure 2.13). • If upright – remove the pins from the mounts on the bottom projector.
Page 20 Installation & Setup Insert three safety pins and LOCK all. STEP 8  WARNING Critical Safety Procedure. At each of the three stacking points, insert the safety pin fully through the holes in the stacking mounts and stacking legs (Figure 2.14). Ensure that each pin is fully inserted to engage the safety lock and secure the projectors together.
Page 21 Installation & Setup Try aligning the two grid patterns STEP 4  Adjust zoom and offset on the top projector to precisely move its test pattern display on to the bottom test pattern. When properly aligned, all red/green grid lines in the combined image will turn yellow.
Page 22 Installation & Setup STEP 6  Align the edges of the grid With centerlines aligned, adjust zoom (top projector) to align the edges of its image with the other image. Then adjust focus. When aligned, all lines from the combined red/green grids will be yellow.
Page 23 Installation & Setup Screen Type  Front Screen Installations While there are two basic screen types, flat and curved, generally flat screens are recommended for this projector (Figure 2.17). Flat screens offer a gain of about one with a viewing angle just less than 180°. Incident light reflects equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.
Page 24 Installation & Setup Ideally, to fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio of an image is expressed as the ratio of its width to its height such as a 4:3 aspect. Standard video from a VCR has a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Page 25: Projector Position And Mounting
Installation & Setup Installation type, screen type, and lighting all affect where the projector is positioned. Projector In addition, both throw distance (the distance between the projector and screen) and Position and vertical position (the height of the projector in relation to the screen) must be Mounting determined for every new installation.
Page 26 Installation & Setup If necessary, vertical position of the image can be offset—that is, moved up or down in relation to lens center—by using the motorized offset function. Starting with no offset, the image from this projector can be moved up or down by a maximum distance of 525 pixels for SXGA+ resolution and 643 pixels for HD resolution, resulting in the entire image (more for HD) being displayed above or below lens center.

By nature, achieving a uniform brightness will require a slightly reduced overall brightness—this reduction will help ensure that you have enough range of adjustment when examining brightness variables more closely from screen-to-screen, and will help prevent premature “maxing out”...
Page 108 Operation • If you prefer maximum brightness rather than a particular color temperature, select “Max Drives”. IMPORTANT Do not change User 1 Color Adjustment in color-matched applications! In the White Uniformity menu, set the “Overall” output level to 50.0 and all remaining slidebars to 0.0.

Page 110 Operation Edge Blending  Christie Edge Blending is an innovative set of software functions that can quickly and easily blend the edges of multiple adjacent full screen images to create a single seamless larger image. What is a Blend? In simple terms, a blend appears as a gradient strip along an edge of a projected image.
Page 111 Operation Optional Blinders If desired, you may wish to install the optional mechanical blinders at the projector lens. These adjustable blades help to blend blacklevels along edges of the image, and are available in a separate kit. Since the blinders and Edge Blending menu controls are intended to complement each other, with blinders primarily affecting blacklevels and software primarily affecting whitelevels, together these components produce the best blends possible for any type of flat image.
Page 112 Operation • determines the white Blend Midpoint level at the blend midpoint (the point equidistant between the beginning and end of the blend). Increasing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a blend that appears brighter than the rest of the image. Decreasing the Blend Midpoint setting creates a blend that is darker than the rest of the image.
Page 113 Operation 2. In the Edge Blending submenu, enable the top checkbox to activate all controls. NOTE: If the optional ChristieTWIST module is installed, a pull- down list replaces this checkbox (see right). Select the desired user-defined blend created for your current warp; no further blending at the projector is required.

If you cannot resolve the problems yourself, contact your dealer for assistance. NOTE: A qualified service technician is required when opening the projector to diagnose any “probable cause”.
Page 134 Troubleshooting  Symptom The display is jittery or unstable… 1. If the display is jittery or blinking erratically, ensure that the source is properly CAUSE / REMEDY: connected and of adequate quality for detection. With a poor quality or improperly connected source, the projector will repeatedly attempt to display an image, however briefly.
Page 135: Lamp
Troubleshooting  Symptom Values in Color Saturation slidebars vary over time CAUSE / REMEDY: 1. Once defined, Color Saturation slidebar values fluctuate over time and will likely be different upon subsequent visits to this menu. This is normal and should be ignored, as these changes do not redefine the x/y coordinates or color gamut.
Page 136: Ethernet
Troubleshooting Ethernet 1. Ensure the Ethernet settings are valid for your site—all network devices should have the same subnet mask and unique IP addresses. 2. Ensure the projector is connected to a network before you attempt to change its IP address, and always cycle power (off-on) to implement the new IP address. 3.
