CP2210 Setup Guide 1-3

020-100524-02 Rev. 1 (11-2010)

Section 1: Introduction

DANGER

Cool the Lamp Completely

Lamp may explode causing bodily harm or death. 1) Always wear protective
clothing whenever lamp door is open or while handling lamp. 2) Ensure those within the
vicinity of the projector are also suited with protective clothing. 3) Never attempt to access
the lamp while the lamp is ON. Wait at least 10 minutes after the lamp turns OFF before
powering down, disconnecting from AC and opening the lamp door.

The arc lamp operates at a high pressure that increases with temperature. Failure to allow the lamp to
sufficiently cool prior to handling increases the potential for an explosion causing personal injury and/or
property damage. After turning the lamp OFF, it is crucial that you wait at least 15 minutes before disconnect­ing AC and opening the lamp door. This provides enough time for the cooling fans to properly cool the lamp.
Ensure the lamp is completely cooled before handling and always wear protective clothing!
For all other precautions critical for safe removal and replacement of the lamp, refer to 4.3.6 Lamp

Replacement, on page 4-5.

1.4.2 How the Projector Works

The CP2210 accepts a variety of cinema or DVI-compatible “non-cinema” signals for projection on screens
typical in commercial theatre or other large screen applications. High-brightness light is generated by a
short arc Xenon lamp, then modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to
incoming data streams of digitized red, green and 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.

1.4.3 Air Filter Cover and Air Filter

Located directly behind the air filter cover is a field replaceable air filter. The air filter is responsible for
filtering the intake air before it begins circulating in the front compartment to cool the main electronics.
Replace the air filter whenever the lamp is replaced or sooner in dusty/dirty environments. Check the condition
monthly. Refer to 4.3.8 Air Filter Replacement, on page 4-8 for complete instructions.

1-6 CP2210 Setup Guide

020-100524-02 Rev. 1 (11-2010)

1.4.4 Douser

For most instances, use the douser control buttons on the TPC to blank the display for instant picture muting.
Closing the douser rotates a shutter blade in front of the illumination system and reduces lamp power to
conserve lamp life.

1.4.5 Adjustable Feet

For many cinema installations, the projector is inclined slightly forward to match screen tilt and to minimize
the amount of vertical offset required. Turn the adjustable feet to increase or decrease the projector height as
needed for proper leveling and/or slight tilt. Refer to 2.3.2 Step 2: Adjust Tilt/Leveling, on page 2-3 for details
on how to adjust the feet and how to properly secure the projector.

1.4.6 Lamp Door and Lamps

Located on the back of the projector is the lamp access door designed with a mid-security lock. The lamp door
must remain closed and locked for all normal operation. Lamp replacement should only be performed by
qualified technicians.

The projector is designed to operate with 2.0kW, 1.8kW and 1.4kW lamps. For a complete list of available
lamp types refer to Section 6 - Specifications from the CP2210 User Manual (020-100410-xx).

1.4.11 Source and Communication Panel

PIB Faceplate Connections

Located on the operator’s side of the projector (left side) is a communication panel that provides connection of
external devices such as servers and a controller.

• Ethernet: Use the 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port for network connection to the projector.

• GPIO: Connect external I/O devices, such as the Christie ACT, for remote control of a limited number of
projector functions. Refer to Appendix C - GPIO Port from the CP2210 User Manual (020-100410-xx) for
GPIO pinouts.

• SCCI: A Simple Contact Closure Interface (SCCI) port that provides the following functions upon a simple
dry contact closure: Lamp ON/OFF and Douser Open/Closed. Refer to Appendix B: SCCI Port from the
CP2210 User Manual (020-100410-xx) for SCCI pinouts.

• RS232 ICP: Connect a PC or laptop for direct DLP communication. Trained users required.

• RS232 PIB: Utilizes Christie-proprietary protocol and is intended for Christie accessories or third-party
automation equipment.

• 3D: Connect a variety of 3D products to this connector, such as MasterImage or Real D for polarizing 3D
content during projection.

• Marriage: Marriage must be established to allow the projector to play encrypted content. This means the
security boundaries SPB1 and SPB2 are physically and electrically connected and that marriage is monitored
24/7. Marriage is initiated from a Wizard application on the TPC. A user with the appropriate credentials is
prompted to press the marriage button to establish marriage. If the button is pressed any other time it is
ignored. Marriage cannot be established remotely.

• Emergency Start: This button is recessed into the faceplate to prevent accidental activation. It should only
be used when the TPC has failed or is disconnected. When pressed, the projector is powered on, the lamp is
turned on and the douser is opened. When you press and hold this button, the douser is closed and the lamp is
turned off, but power is still on.

• Reset: This button is slightly recessed into the faceplate to prevent accidental activation. It’s main purpose is
to reset the electronics of the projector. After re-booting, the projector will return to its previous power mode
(STANDBY or FULL Power), however the lamp will not strike automatically and requires manual striking.

• DVI-A / DVI-B: Connect a variety of non-cinema video and graphics sources to either of these identical
single-link DVI ports. These are single-link ports for single-link cables/connectors only. The connectors can
be used together as a twin-link DVI port.

• HD-SDI A/HD-SDI-B: Connect a variety of high-definition cinema sources to these SMPTE 292M bit­serial standard interface BNCs. The connectors can be used together to deliver Dual Link HD-SDI following
the SMPTE 372M standard.

PIB Faceplate Status Indicators

• STBY: Standby power (Single Color Green) indicates the presence of +24V from the standby power supply.

• OFF: Indicates no standby power (breaker OFF or Standby power failure).

• Green: Indicates standby power.

• PWR: Main power (Single Color Green) indicates the presence of +24V from the Low Voltage Power
Supply (LVPS).

• OFF: No LVPS power (STANDBY mode or breaker OFF).

• Green: Indicates full power.
