turn, the left and right horizontal cap screws should be turned 1/16 of a turn in the opposite 
direction.
5. Check the screen each time an adjustment is made. If the quality of the projected image has 
degraded, turn the vertical adjust cap screw 1/8 of turn clockwise. Make sure the left and right 
horizontal adjusters are adjusted equally in the opposite direction to correct axial focus. 
The 1/8 of a turn is a suggestion only and can be less if needed; however, it should never be 
exceeded. Always compensate both left and right horizontal adjustments according to the vertical 
adjustment.
6. Check the image after each adjustment. Continue to make adjustments until both top and 
bottom are equally sharp. To make sure the lens is in the same relative position, adjust the left 
and right horizontal adjusters in the opposite direction at the same time.
7. When the top and bottom of the image are equally in focus lock the set screw to hold it in 
position. Recheck the image.
8. If additional adjustment is required, see Adjust Horizontal Boresight on page 23.
Adjust Horizontal Boresight
Typically, horizontal boresight does not require adjustment. It should only be adjusted if a large 
horizontal angular offset to the screen is required.
1. Tap the Test Patterns button on the Main Panel. 
2. Tap All Test Patterns.
3. Tap DC2K Framing.
A boresight adjustment should only be made when the image cannot be focused uniformly 
on the screen by aligning the projector to the screen and focusing the lens. When adjusting 
boresight, you must maintain the boresight distance from the lens to the prism plane set by 
Christie. For example, when you move the top screw outward, turn the bottom two 
boresight screws to maintain the overall distance. Failure to comply could result in death or 
serious injury. 
Only adjust horizontal boresight 1/8 of a turn or less at one time to maintain optimal lens 
performance (factory setup of absolute lens distance to the prism). It is critical that you 
count each turn of the cap screws to make sure the adjustment is accurate. Failure to 
comply could result in minor or moderate injury.

4. Loosen the right boresight set screw (B).
5. Turn the right boresight cap screw (A) 1/16 of a turn clockwise.
6. Adjust the left boresight cap screw (C) equally in the opposite direction.
7. If the quality of the projected image has not improved, turn the right boresight cap screw 1/16 of 
turn counter-clockwise. Make sure the left adjuster is adjusted equally in the opposite direction.
8. Check the screen each time an adjustment is made. The right-side adjustments affect the top 
right and bottom left points on the screen. Once both cross hairs are in focus lock the set screw 
for right boresight. 
9.  Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for the left side.

10. Each corner of the screen should be equally in focus when horizontal boresight is completed 
correctly. If necessary, repeat vertical boresight. Only adjust vertical boresight 1/8 of a turn or 
less at one time to maintain optimal lens performance (factory setup of absolute lens distance to 
the prism). It is critical that each turn of the cap screws is counted to make sure the adjustments 
are accurate.
Adjust DMD Convergence
A convergence problem occurs when one or more projected colors (red, green, blue) appears 
misaligned when examined with a convergence test pattern. Normally, the three colors should 
overlap precisely to form pure white lines throughout the image and one or more poorly converged 
individual colors may appear adjacent to some or all of the lines. Contact your Christie accredited 
service technician to correct DMD convergence issues.
Align the Fold Mirror
If a corner or edge of an image is missing, the fold mirror might be misaligned with the optical 
system. To correct this issue:
1. Remove the top lid and set it aside.
2. Display a full white test pattern:
a. On the TPC, tap the Test Pattern icon ( ) in the task bar.
b. Tap All Test Patterns.
c. Tap RGB-12bit-Full Screen White.
3. Insert a hex driver in the first set screw (A) and a hex driver in the first cap screw (B).

4. Equally turn the set screw (A) and cap screw (B) in opposite directions until the black corner is 
removed. 
5. If the black corner remains, insert a hex driver in the second set screw (D) and a hex driver in 
the second cap screw (C).
6. Equally turn the set screw (A) and cap screw (B) in opposite directions until the black corner is 
removed.
7. Replace the top lid.
Color Calibration
Create Measured Color Gamut Data (MCGD) files to correct on-screen colors. A colorimeter is 
required to complete this procedure. Measure the colors displayed on the screen from the center of 
the audience viewing location. See Create a MCGD File on page 46.
Screen Masking
You use masking to conceal the unused edges of a screen. These are the two most common types of 
screen masking:
• Top Masking – Movable flat black panels or curtains are installed along the top edge of the 
screen. You raise the curtain for flat images, and you lower the curtain for scope images.
• Side Masking – Movable flat black panels or curtains are installed on each side of the screen. You 
close the curtain for flat images, and open the curtain and zoom for scope images.

Typically, you install top and side masking to allow a greater range of adjustment.
Calibrate Screen Brightness (fL)
1. Turn the lamp on and allow it to operate for 20 minutes.
2. On the touch pad controller, tap Menu > Administrator Setup > Foot Lamberts Calibration. 
3. Complete the Foot Lamberts Calibration wizard.

Diagnostics
This section describes how to access the projector and run projector diagnostic utilities. 
The Touch Panel Controller
The TPC is a touch-sensitive screen that you use to control the projector. You can use the TPC to turn 
the projector and lamp on or off, select channels, and view status information. The TPC is mounted 
on the rear of the projector. You can tilt and turn the TPC to improve the viewing angle. Use the USB 
port on the side of the TPC to download log files and install software upgrades. You can disconnect 
the TPC from the projector and an optional cable allows you to control the projector from a maximum 
distance of 100 feet. 
If the TPC fails or is disconnected, press the emergency start button on the communications panel. 
This starts the projector, turns the lamp on, and opens the douser. When using the emergency start 
button, you cannot change channels.
The Main Screen
Use the Main screen of the Touch Panel Controller (TPC) to access power, lamp, douser, channel, and 
test pattern settings.
