Section 1: Introduction

1 Powering ON

(a) Be patient when powering the projector ON or switching lamp operation

modes. As the lamps warm up, brightness will gradually increase. (No light appears on the wall during the first 25 seconds.) On the rare occurrence a lamp does not ignite, the projector will try again several times. (For more information see 3.7 The Lamp Menu)

(b) Wait for the projector to complete initialization before sending keypad

commands (“On” will appear on the LED display), otherwise it will be ignored.

powered down and powered back up again. This gives the lamps enough time to cool down to a point where they can be turned on again.

(d) Use the windows located on the lamp doors as indicators when trying to

determine whether a lamp is on or off without accessing software menus.

2 Lamp Operation Modes – Auto Switching

(a) The projector will automatically switch from one single lamp operation

mode to another to maintain light on the wall.

(b) Check the status of a lamp in the Status menu, Lamp menu or by looking at

the windows on the lamp doors.

(For more information see 3.7 The Lamp Menu)

3 Lamp Operation Modes – Manual Switching

(a) One lamp will turn off only after the other lamp has successfully been

turned on. This allows you to view content without interruption when

switching between lamp operation modes. It takes 25 seconds for a lamp that was just turned on to warm up and reach full brightness. When the original lamp turns off you will notice a slight dimming, which indicates the lamp switching operation is complete. At this point, you can perform any adjustment, such as Color Wheel Delay. (For more information see 3.7 The Lamp Menu)

4 Flexible Light Output Control

(a) Switching from Dual to Single Lamp operation modes can reduce light

output by approximately 50%.

(b) Adjusting lamp power in the range of 300W to 250W can provide

approximately 17% dimming capability.

(approximately 78%) while increasing contrast from 1100-5000:1 increase contrast.

(d) Always check the optical aperture and lamp power levels before

troubleshooting brightness related problems.

5 White Boost

(a) White Boost automatically turns off when Edge Blending, adjusting

Brightness Uniformity or making Color Adjustments. A noticeable dimming

of the display occurs. For best results, set White Boost to 10 for data content and 2 for video.

Section 2

Installation & Setup

The instructions provided here are for those that are familiar with the projector and wish to quickly set it up and use it temporarily. Refer to the remaining subsections of this manual for a more complete setup.

Step 1 '

Step 2 '

Step 3 '

Install a Projection Lens

The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector and must be installed prior to setting up the projector. Install the projection lens as described in 4.5 Replacing the Projection Lens.

Remove the lens “plug” from the projector before installing a lens.

When shipping the projector, always remove the lens and reuse the lens plug. This

will prevent dust and debris from entering and settling on critical optical components.

Position the Projector

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular to the screen at a suitable distance. In general, the further back the projector is positioned from the screen, the larger the image will be.

If required, you can level the projector by adjusting its three feet. With the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned.

For more detailed instructions on positioning the projector refer to Projector Position and Mounting later in this section.

Connect a Source

Located at the back of the projector is the input panel where all source connections are made. Each input is clearly labeled for easy identification.

Using the appropriate cable(s), connect your source. Connect RGB and YPbPr sources

INPUT 1 located in the upper right corner of the input panel. Use the DVI-I

to connector at video to

modules can be installed at Refer to 2.3 Connecting Sources for more details on connecting a specific source.

INPUT 2 to connect analog or digital display signals. Connect composite

2.2 Installation

Considerations

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Installation type '

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

• Easy to set up

• Shares floor space with audience

• Can be moved or changed quickly

• Easy to access

Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Requires additional space (separate room)

• Installatio n cost is usuall y higher

Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

• Projector is completely hidden

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Requires separate room

• Installatio n cost is usuall y higher

Screen Type

Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

• Projector is completely hidden

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Requires separate room

• Installatio n cost is usuall y higher

• Requires less space behind screen than

other rear screen installations

Front Screen Installations

In front screen installations the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat or curved.

Flat screens are most recommended with this projector. They offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects incident light equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.

Curved screens have a gain greater than 1 with a viewing angle much less than 180°. This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions instead it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone area will see a brighter image than those sitting just outside this area.

Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual 2-3

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Rear screen installations

There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical. A diffused screen has a surface, which spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused

screens have a gain of less than 1. The main advantage of the diffused screen is its wide viewing angle, similar to that of a flat screen for front screen projection. This type of screen is suitable when a wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.

Optical screens take light from the projector and redirect it to increase the light intensity at the front of the screen. This reduces it in other areas. A viewing cone, similar to that of a curved front screen installation is created. This type of screen is better suited for brightly lit rooms where the audience is situated within the viewing cone.

Screen size

Choose a screen size, which is appropriate for your lens and application. Keep in mind that if the projector will be used to display text information, the image size must allow the audience to recognize all text clearly. The eye usually sees a letter clearly if eyeto-text distance is less than 150 times the height of the letter. Small text located too far from the eye will likely be illegible at a distance no matter how sharply and clearly it is displayed.

To fill a screen with an image, the aspect ratio of the screen should be equal to the aspect ratio of the image (expressed as the ratio of its width to its height). Standard video from a VCR has a 4:3 or 1.33:1 aspect ratio. For example, to display a VCR output with a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a 10-foot (3m ) high screen, the width of the screen must be at least 13.3feet (4m).

2-4 Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual

Section 2: Installation and Setup

mbient Lighting '

The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered less than ideal for projection. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced only if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.

In general, avoid or eliminate light sources directed at the screen.

Other Considerations '

Projector Position and Mountin

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the

projector away from heating and/or air conditioning vents.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as

motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, elevators, etc.

• Choose the best screen size for the application. Since more magnification reduces

brightness, use a screen size appropriate for the venue but not larger than required. Installing a large screen in a small room is similar to watching television at a close range; too large a screen can overpower a room and interfere with the overall effect. A good rule of thumb is to be no closer than 1.5 times the width of the screen.

Throw distance

Throw distance (also known as projection distance) is the distance measured from your projector’s front feet to the screen. This is an importa nt cal culat ion in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be of the right size for your screen.

You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the horizontal width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, if you are going to use a 0.8:1 lens, throw distance would roughly be 0.8 X screen width.

IMPORTANT: Always calculate the precise throw distance for the lens type and screen size you’re going to use. Refer to Appendix D for actual throw distance formulas and quick reference charts. NOTE: An online lens calculator is

also available at www.christiedigital.com / service and support / product downloads.

Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual 2-5

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.1. Estimating Throw Distance

Vertical and horizontal position

The correct vertical and horizontal position of the projector in relation to the screen depends on the lens type and the screen size. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen. This way, the image will appear rectangular instead of keystoned (trapezoidal).

The vertical position of the image can be offset – that is moved above or below the optical axis (lens center) by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount using the keypad. The amount of vertical offset available depends directly on the lens installed in the projector and can be slightly limited if horizontal offset has been applied. Vertical offset can also be expressed as the percent of half the image height OR the number of pixels of shift from lens center. Refer to Figure 2.2 for some illustrated examples of vertical offset.

Table 2.1 along with Figure 2.3 show the maximum vertical offset of a lens or alternatively, how much of your projected image will appear above or below lens center if the maximum vertical offset is applied using that lens.

The horizontal position of the image can be offset – that is moved to the left or right of lens center, by adjusting the fully motorized lens mount through software. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can also be expressed as the percentage of half the image width – the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center. Refer to Figure 2.4 for some illustrated examples of horizontal offset.

Lifting and transporting the projector – The projector is light enough to lift and transport a short distance. Use the indentations on the bottom of the projector as a guide for hand placement, which makes carrying the projector easier.

When transporting the projector a long distance, use a stable cart or ask someone for help.

Mounting

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface, such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

CEILING MOUNT - The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling

using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience.

Use only the CHRISTIE approved ceiling mount kit designed for

your projector. Ceiling Mount Kit # 38-804951-01

SPECIAL MOUNTING – The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees

and mounted without it affecting performance. However, the side-to-side tilt limit of the projector must not exceed +/-20 degrees. This limit is required to ensure optimal performance of the projector and its lamps. (Figure 2.6.)

2-10 Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual

Figure 2.6.

Adjusting projector height

You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly unlevel mounting surface by adjusting the three feet threaded into the bottom chassis. Turn each foot clockwise or counterclockwise until the project is level on all sides. (Figure 2.7.)

NOTE: The front of the projector can be raised up to 10 degrees. (Figure 2.8.)

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.7.

Figure 2.8.

Folded Optics

In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path. See Figure 2.9. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set – if considering this type of installation call your dealer for assistance.

2.4 Connecting Communications

Section 2: Installation and Setup

As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO communications to the projector, all described below.

IR Remote '

Serial Port Connections '

As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote towards the display screen or the projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the RCA jack labeled

REMOTE on the projector’s input panel. Note that response to

a wired keypad must also be enabled in the Communications menu—see 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for more information.

There are two types of serial ports available on the projector: RS232 and RS422. You can connect a device with a serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial communication commands.

Connecting RS-232

The two 9-pin DIN connectors labeled RS232 IN and RS232 OUT on the input panel are dedicated to serial communication. Using the appropriate serial communication cables (see Appendix C) connect the controlling source, such as a personal computer to the RS232 IN connector. Then set the baud rate to match that of the computer. Refer to Section 3 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.

Figure 2.14. Connecting RS232

Connecting RS-422

If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the computer and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is better suited for serial communication over long distances then is RS-232 communication.

Use the RS-422 port only if your device had RS-422 capability – always consult the literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Connecting to the RS422 port with incompatible equipment could damage your projector.

Ethernet Communications

To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other equipment such as controllers and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your Ethernet controller (or hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector.

CONNECTING TO A PC: If you are connecting the Ethernet port directly to a PC (rather

than a network or hub), make sure to use a crossover Ethernet cable. Keep in mind that an Ethernet link cannot be used for downloading a software upgrade to the projector—use RS232.

Figure 2.16.

Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of

0.0.0.0.0 will automatically enable the DHCP function (if available on the network) to assign a new IP address that is valid and unique for that network. Or, if there is no DHCP function available on the network (or if a specific static IP address for the projector is preferred or required), you can set the address in the Ethernet Settings menu or via an ASCII serial command.

Connecting Multiple

Projectors

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it will respond to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP address, consult the Status or Communications menus.

Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector connected via Ethernet.

RS-232 NETWORK: If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with serial

communication, connect the controlling source to the RS232 IN connector of the first projector in the network. Then take another serial communication cable and connect one end to the RS232 OUT connector and the other end to the RS232 IN connector of the next projector. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network. The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS232 IN connector. See Figure 2.17.

Figure 2.17.

MIXED NETWORK: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an

RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller.

NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS232 and RS422 Joined”. See Section 3 for details.

Then chain the projectors together by connecting an (already connected to the computer/controller through the

RS232 port of the first projec tor

RS422 port) to an RS232

port on the next projector in the chain. Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused

RS232 port. See Figure 2.18.

Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual 2-17

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.18.

Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the particular controlling device before connecting as a network—refer to the documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the proper baud rate. See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls if you need help changing the projector baud rate. In addition, set the Network Routing to “RS232 and RS422 Joined” if you want to reach all projectors.

NOTES: 1) To avoid damage, connect only properly wired serial communication cables. See Appendix C for details. 2) It is recommended that each RS232 communication cable be no more than 25 feet in length. Use high quality cables.

ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP: To add one or more projectors to an Ethernet network,

use standard CAT5 cable to connect each projector’s Ethernet port to a hub belonging to the network. A controller or PC must also be connected to the hub. See Figure 2.19.

Figure 2.19.

SETTING THE PROJECTOR’S IP ADDRESS: Upon connection to most Ethernet

networks, each projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network’s DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically assign an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually remains stable for a single session, but may change with subsequent power-ups and logins. On some networks, the address will remain stable from session to session. In all cases, the projector’s IP address and port appear in the Status menu as well as the Ethernet Settings submenu. See Figure 2.20

2-18 Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.20. Setting the Projector’s IP Address

Note that if a projector’s IP address is anything other than 0.0.0.0 (shown as

000.000.000.000 in the Ethernet Settings menu) upon connection to an Ethernet network, or if DHCP is not available on the network, the automatic DHCP server function for supplying a valid and unique IP address to the projector is disabled. Instead, a specific and static IP address must be defined in projector memory—enter the new address in the E the rnet Setti ngs submenu, or send to the projector via a serial command. The IP address will be in effect until it is changed again, or until the DHCP checkbox is re-enabled for use with a DHCP server on the network.

NOTES: Only the port and IP address of the projector can be changed. The subnet mask is fixed (255.255.255.0).

CHANGING THE PORT#: On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require

that the port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port# in an XIP serial command sent to the projector.

Separating Networks '

Communicating to '

ll Ports

By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS232 vs. RS422 vs. Ethernet—stay on the corresponding network path. This separation is indicated by a “Separate” setting for “Network Routing” in the Communications menu. If you are using an RS422 controller, for example, it will communicate only with the projector to which it is connected unless you change this setting to either “RS232 and RS422 Joined” or “All Joined”.

To relay all messages to all ports—RS232, RS422, and Ethernet—set the “Network Routing” option in the Communications menu for each projector to “All Joined”. This configuration is useful if you are using a non-RS232 controller with the RS232 linking available between these projectors. For example, you may want to use both an RS422compatible controller and an Ethernet-connected PC for working with a network of projectors linked via their RS232 in/out ports (Figure 2.20).

2.5 System Integration GPIO Connector

2.6 Power Connection

To isolate just RS422 communications, select “RS232 and Ethernet Joined”. In Figure

2.21. only projector #3 will respond to the RS422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet communications, select “RS232 and RS422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond via Ethernet.

The GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) connector on the input panel can be used to provide a method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices to the projector.

Refer to Appendix E: System Integration for complete details on pin configuration and how to program the various pins on the connector.

Plug the line cord to the AC receptacle located on the right hand side of the projector and the 3-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet (Figure 2.22). The input voltage to the projector must be capable of 100 – 240 VAC. (See also Section 6 – Specifications

for complete details on all power requirements.)

Each projector is provided with the North American and European rated line cords. Make sure you are using the appropriately rated line cord for your area.

Always power down the projector before unplugging the AC line cord – Once you power down, wait 2 minutes to allow the main exhaust fan to turn off and for the lamps to cool before unplugging the projector.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are

not within the specified voltage and power range.

Wait for the cooling fans to turn off before unplugging the

projector.

(3) The AC receptacle is located on the right side of the projector (opposite side of lamp doors). Use this outlet to plug in an appropriately rated line cord. See 2.6 Power Connection for details.

The input voltage to the projector must be capable of 100 – 240 VAC. See also Section 6 – Specifications for complete details on all power requirements.

(4) Located on the bottom of the projector are 3 adjustable feet. You can raise or lower these feet to ensure the projector is level on all sides and the image displays rectangular without any keystone. See Projector Position and Mounting (Section 2) for instructions on adjusting these feet.

(5) The projector is built with a motorized lens mount that allows for easy lens control and adjustment. This includes such functions as adjusting vertical and horizontal offsets, zoom and focus. The lens mount can be fitted with any one of the available optional lenses – see Section 6 - Specifications.

• Zoom and Focus – There are two internal lens motors that allow for quick

motorized adjustment of zoom and focus. Adjust zoom to fit the displayed image on the screen and adjust focus to improve the clarity of the image.

NOTE: You can manually override zoom and focus adjustments set with the remote. Turn the outer ring on the projection lens to adjust focus and the inner ring to adjust zoom.

INPUT 2, composite video to INPUT 3, and S-video to INPUT 4. INPUT 5 is where you

INPUT 1, analog or digital display signals

would install any of the available optional input modules. There is no status display on the input panel. The only status display is part of the

built-in keypad located on top of the projector.

Cooling and Air Vents '

(9) There are numerous air vents located around the projector. It is important these vents remain unobstructed. Allowing adequate airflow through the projector will prevent it from overheating.

NOTE:

Stand clear of the rear exhaust air path during operation. In the unlikely

event of a lamp explosion, glass particles can be blown out of these vents.

(13) & (14) Located on the right hand side of the projector are two lamp doors that are labeled as Lamp #1 or Lamp #2. Each door is fitted with an amber window that makes it easy to identify which lamp because it will glow. NOTE: It is important to always

check the status of the lamp before opening the lamp door. Opening a lamp door while the lamp is still on will cause power to be cut to that lamp.

(15) Use the following slot to install a standard Kensington lock to keep your projector secure in some installat ions.

Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. Do not look

directly into the beam of the remote.

The projector is typically controlled using one of the following keypads:

• Built-in Keypad located on the top, right edge of the projector

• IR Remote for wired or wireless control up to 100 feet away (includes

cable for use as a wired remote)

Built-in Keypad '

While each of the keypads provides complete con tro l of th e pro jecto r, they differ slightly in their arrangement of keys and in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than requiring use of the menu system. You may find one keypad more convenient than another for your specific installation and application.

NOTE: The IR remote has a single IR protocol. It can be converted to a wired IR remote by connecting the cable provided with the projector to the mini stereo connector labeled

REMOTE on the input panel.

To control the projector when signals from an IR remote cannot reach the projector, use the projector’s built-in keypad. Two nearby status windows provide feedback indicating current status and

IR Remote '

The IR remote controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote the same way you would use a remote control supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key presses, direct the keypad either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of the two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal processing.

*These are toggle keys, which require you to press and hold or press twice or press and use the up/down arrow keys. NOTE: To turn the OSD off you must press
