1.3 Projector Overview

The J Series is a family of high resolution video/graphics 3 chip 1080p HD, SXGA+ and WUXGA projectors, see Table 1.3 J Series Projectors. These projectors are based on DLP® technology provided by Texas Instruments.

1.3.1 How the Projector Works

The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto front or rear screens. Light is generated by a xenon lamp, then modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “ON” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.

1.3.2 User Interface Overview

The projector can be controlled via a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system can be controlled by an IR remote, wired remote or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and built-in keypad allow functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and provide a quickly accessible interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be controlled using the Christie Serial Protocol, via a serial or Ethernet connection to the projector. The Web interface provides access to the menu system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen display) and to features that maintain the projector software and settings.

Failure to engage the safety lock could cause the projectors to separate and result in injury or

death.

9. Leg Nuts.

Before hoisting, firmly tighten the nuts on the 2 rear stacking legs (Figure 2-21). If you are ready to align the projectors to one another, leave these nuts slightly loose until after the alignment.

10. Repeat steps 1–9 if stacking a third projector.

Never stack more than 3 projectors.

2.2.5 Alignment Procedure

Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so that the resulting display is optimized and as sharp as possible. If you are also hoisting the stack, hoist the stack into place first and then align. Lock all stacking hardware into place to maintain your alignment.

IMPORTANT! Ensure the stacking legs are extended at least 1 inch and are slightly loosened. Refer to

Figure 2-18.

Before You Begin

• Always align to the fixed projector. In floor-mount or table-mount (i.e., non-hoisted) stacks, you will align to the bottom projector as shown in drawings below. In hoisted stacks, align to the top projector.

• Leg nuts must be loosened before alignment; otherwise the stacking mounts will not turn and allow movement of the projector.

Alignment Procedure:

1. Position the first image (fixed projector).

Position the fixed projector (first) image as desired and align the other image(s) to it as described below.

2. Display the grid test pattern.

Display the Grid Test Pattern. To distinguish each image, enable “Red” for 1 display and “Green” for the other. Refer to 3.7 Image Settings Menu if you need help enabling colors.

3. Adjust Focus.

Focus the images for both projectors.

4. Coarse Alignment.

Adjust the 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.

• If all lines are well aligned, skip to Step 6. b. to lock all stacking mounts.

• If alignment needs fine adjustment, proceed with the next step.
