1.3 Projector Overview

The J Series is a family of high resolution video/graphics 3 chip 1080p HD, SXGA+, WUXGA and WXGA
projectors, see Table 1.2 J Series Projectors for specific models. These projectors are based on next
generation 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 using 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 some 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, using 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 software and settings.

• Shutter: Allows the screen to become absolute black, when in the “closed” state.

2.2.2 Installation Considerations

Proper installation of the projector will ensure the quality of the display. Whether installing a projector

temporarily or permanently, take the following into account to make sure the projector performs optimally.
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, portrait mode, floor mount or
inverted mount.

Front Screen / Floor Mount Installations

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Easy to set up.
Can be moved or changed quickly.
Easy to access.

Shares floor space with audience.

Front Screen / Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Does not take up audience space.
Projector is unobtrusive.
Projector cannot be accidentally moved.

Installation is more permanent.
It is more difficult to access the projector.

Rear Screen / Floor Mount Installation

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Projector is completely hidden.
Projector is easily accessed.
Usually good ambient light rejection.

Requires separate room or enclosure.
Installation cost is usually higher.

Rear Screen / Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Projector is completely hidden.
Usually good ambient light rejection.

Requires separate room.
Installation cost is usually higher.
More difficult to access projector.

2-8 J Series 2.0, 2.4 and 3.0 kW User Manual

020-100707-03 Rev. 1 (02-2014)

Rear Screen / Floor Mount with Mirror

ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Projector is completely hidden
Usually good ambient light rejection.
Requires less space behind screen than other

rear screen installations.

2.2.3 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 offer a gain of about 1.0 with a viewing angle just less than 180 degrees. 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 1.0 with a viewing angle much less than 180 degrees. 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 the area.

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Requires separate room or enclosure.
Installation cost is usually higher.
More involved to perform setup.

2.2.4 Rear Screen Installations

There are two basic types of rear screens:

• Diffused: A diffused screen has a surface which spreads the light that strikes it. Purely diffused screens have

a gain of less than 1.0. The 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 lightening.

• Optical: Optical screens take light from the projector and redirects it to increase the light intensity at the

front of the screen and reduce 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.

2.2.5 Screen Size

Choose a screen size appropriate for your lens and application. If the projector will be used to display text
information, the image size must allow the audience to recognize all text clearly. The eye sees a letter clearly if
eye-to-text distance is less than 150 times the height of the letter . Small text located too far from the eye will 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 13.3 feet (4m).

J Series 2.0, 2.4 and 3.0 kW User Manual 2-9

020-100707-03 Rev. 1 (02-2014)

Section 2: Installation and Setup

2.2.6 Ambient Lighting

The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered

less than ideal. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention. Contrast ratio

in your images will be reduced if stray light directly strikes the screen. For example, when a shaft of light from

a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may appear washed out and less vibrant. Avoid or eliminate

stray light sources directed at the screen.

2.2.7 Ventilation

The projector vents and louvers provide ventilation, both for intake and

exhaust. Never block or cover these openings. Do not install the

projector near a radiator or heat register, or within an enclosure. To

ensure adequate airflow around the projector, allow free air exchange to

the projector with a minimum clearance of 25cm (10-inch) on the left,

right and rear sides of the projector from any walls or other

obstructions. Never obstruct the air exchange to the projector.

2.2.8 Other Considerations

Other considerations and tips to improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 40°C (104°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/
or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may
affect performance.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy, such as motors and transformers,
slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers, elevators, etc.

• 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. As a rule, be no closer than 1.5 times the width of the screen.

2.3 Projector Position

2.3.1 Throw Distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front feet of the projector to the screen. This calculation
determines if there is enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if the image will be
of the right size for your screen.

To estimate the throw distance take the horizontal width of the screen and multiply it by the lens throw ratio.
The result determines approximately the distance the projector should be positioned from the screen to project
a focused image large enough to fill the screen. For example, using a 0.73:1 lens, throw distance would roughly
be 0.73 x screen width.

2-10 J Series 2.0, 2.4 and 3.0 kW User Manual

020-100707-03 Rev. 1 (02-2014)

IMPORTANT! Use the lens and screen size to calculate the precise throw distance using the lens throw

calculator provided in the Dealer Section of the Christie Website, or use the tables provided
in 020-100221-XX. Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw
distance can vary ±5% between lenses with the same nominal throw ratio.

2.3.2 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) by adjusting the
motorized lens mount. The amount of vertical offset available depends on the type of lens installed in the
projector and can be limited if horizontal offset has been applied. Vertical offset can be expressed as the
percent of half the image height or the number of pixels of shift from lens center. See Figure 2-1 Vertical

Offset Examples for illustrated examples of vertical offset.
Table 2.1, Table 2.2 and Table 2.3 specify the vertical offset of each type of lens.

adjusting the motorized lens mount. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and
if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can be expressed as the percent of half the
image width or the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center . Table 2.4, Table 2.5 and Table 2.6 each
show the horizontal offset of a lens type. See Figure 2-2 Horizontal Offset Examples.
