Projector overview

Introduction
Learn about the
Mirage SST is a professional quality projector using Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) technology from Texas Instruments. Mirage SST is engineered specifically for complex, high-end applications like planetariums, dome theaters, and theme park attractions to offer stunning wide screen, high resolution 4K images at 120 frames per second.
Mirage SST provides several design and installation advantages. Its small form factor allows it to be installed independently, or as part of a multi-projector array, into tight, challenging environments. The remote light source also allows the chilling equipment to be located away from the projector head where its noise will not impact the audience’s enjoyment of the show.

Introduction
LCD display to provide information at-a-glance

How the projector works

The
Mirage SST accepts a variety of input signals for projection on front or rear projection screens,
typical in commercial or other large screen applications.
High-brightness light is generated by a laser illumination source, then fed to the projector through a fiber optic cable, where it is modulated by three Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panels responding to incoming data streams of digitized red, green and blue color information. Based on digital signals from the source, light from the responding on pixels of each panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a projection lens, where all pixel reflections are superimposed into a sharp full-color image.
The Mirage SST projector head provides all configuration and control for the laser illumination source. Never connect a laptop to the laser illumination source unless directed by Technical Support.

Adjusting primary colors

Calibrate the accuracy of primary colors, which can change because of lighting and environmental factors.
All primary colors in the projector are precisely set to pre-established values to ensure overall color performance is optimized and is as accurate as possible. Lighting and other environmental factors may slightly change how these colors appear on your screen. While the change is negligible in most cases, you may prefer to recover the originally intended color performance before trying to match colors from several projectors.
To achieve consistency use a color meter to measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and white—as they appear on the screen. On the basis of these new values, which are stored in memory, each projector automatically calculates any necessary corrections to reproduce the original factory colors under the current environmental conditions. This essentially calibrates a projector to its surroundings, compensating for factors such as screen type, light source and/or ambient lighting, and improves color accuracy and consistency in a group of projectors. It ensures a good starting point for further customizing and matching; however, is not critical for all installations.
1. From the display panel, select MENU > Configuration.

Setting up 1D color uniformity

Configuring system settings
Learn how to set up 1D color uniformit
y on the projector after taking measurement of each of the
color primaries at points (15, 2, 5, 8, and 16).
1. Ensure the projector is running in representative ambient light.
2. Setup a spectroradiometer, such as the CR-250, on a tripod.
If not using the CR-250 or better, Christie recommends placing the meter perpendicular to the screen to achieve accurate measurements.
Do not use the PR-655 spectroradiometer to perform color uniformity on a multi-projector installation.
3. Power on the projector.
4. Allow the light source to stabilize.
5. Select MENU > Configuration > Horizontal 1D Color Uniformity.
6. To disable color uniformity, select Color Uniformity Mode.
7. Select Enter.
8. Select MENU > Image Settings > Color & Gamma > Color Correction Mode.
9. Select Max Drives and to confirm your selection, select Enter.
10. Select Show Color Pattern > Auto and to confirm your selection, select Enter.
11. From the side panel home page, use the arrows to select Test Pattern.
12. Select the 17 Point test pattern and to confirm your selection, select Enter.
13. Record the x, y, and RGB luminance values for the center point.

Enabling projector communication

Enable the receivers and the wired keypad to communicate with the projector from the remote.
The front and rear IR sensors receive transmissions from the IR remote. Keep the transmission path to these sensors unobstructed for uninterrupted communications with the projector.
Alternatively, you can connect a wired version of the remote to the connector on the IMXB labeled Wired Keypad.
1. Select MENU > Communications > Projector Communications.
2. To assign the projector an ID, select Projector ID.
3. Use the up and down keys to enter the projector ID.
4. Select Enter.
5. To enable the rear IR sensor, select Rear IR Enabled and select Enter.
6. To enable a wired version of the remote, select Wired Keypad Enabled and select Enter.
By default this feature is enabled.

Setting the remote access level

Determine if and how the projector can be accessed remotely for the RS232 port or the Ethernet.
1. From the display panel, select MENU > Admin > Service.

Communicating with Mirage SST through Art-Net

Mirage SST supports communications through the Art-NET using the Ethernet connector.
1. Select MENU > Communications > Art-Net Settings.
2. Verify the Enable Art-Net option is disabled.
Disabling Art-Net before configuring it ensures Mirage SST does not accidentally respond to DMX messages destined for other devices on the network.
3. To specify which subnet the projector belongs to, in the Art-Net Subnet field adjust the value between 0 and 15.
The subnet provides expandability beyond the universe level.
4. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
5. To specify which universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all other data packets, in the Art-Net Universe field, adjust the value between 0 and 15.
For Art-Net, data is broadcast over an Ethernet network, so every device receives every packet of data, whether the device belongs to that universe or not.
6. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
7. To determine the starting channel for this projector, in the Base Channel field, adjust the value between 1 and 488.
If multiple projectors are used on the same universe and are to be controlled independently, this value must be changed. For example, if both projectors are using the Shutter (20 channels), projector 1 should start at base channel 1 and projector 2 should start at base channel 21.
8. To confirm your selection, select Enter.
9. Select Enable Art-Net.
10. To enable the Art-Net functionality, select Enter.

Art-Net channel listing

There are 512 channels per universe. Mirage SST specifies 24 channels.
Mirage SST has multiple methods of being controlled in addition to Art-Net. If a setting is changed through another interface, the DMX controller can re­appropriate DMX channel.

The Generic Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pro
vides a flexible method of interfacing with external
devices to the projector.
The GPIO is configured to automate real time events. Each of the seven pins is defined as either an input or output depending on the required outcome. The remaining two pins are reserved for ground and power.
Configure the pin as an input if you want the projector to respond to something the device does and as an output if you want the external device to respond to an action taken by the projector. For example, configure the pin as an output if you want the lighting in a room to automatically dim when the projector is turned on.
This feature is only available on the web interface.
1. From the home page of the web interface, select MENU > Macros and GPIO.
2.
Select GPIO Configuration.
3. In the GPIO Configuration dialog under Update the New Configuration, toggle the pins you want active for the input and output.
