AUTO INPUT LEVEL – Keep off for virtually all sources (default). Temporarily enter a 
checkmark only if you are an experienced user and you have an unusual source that 
you feel needs further color temperature and/or input level adjustment. After entering 
a checkmark, wait for the six slidebar values to stabilize, then delete the checkmark 
and exit. This compensates for incoming out-of-range drives (white) and blacklevels 
(black) that would cause...

NOTES: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color 
temperature used. 2) Assuming that color temperature has been set up based on the 
internal test patterns, you can then set up input levels for a given source so that it 
matches the color temperature of the internal test patterns. 
PEAK DETECTOR – The Peak Detector is a fast method for defining individual input 
levels, and can improve the accuracy of input levels set by the...

Advanced Image Settings — SUBMENU 
GAMMA TABLE: This control selects 
and applies the normal 2.2 gamma 
setting or a user-defined “arbitrary” 
(custom) gamma table that has been 
previously downloaded to projector 
memory (these custom gamma 
tables—a.k.a. curves—are created in 
Christie’s Arbitrary Gamma 
application for the PC, and are 
downloaded via a separate utility). 
Use of custom curves can improve 
performance for certain kinds of

  User’s Manual      
COLOR TEMPERATURE — Adjust to apply a specific and accurate color temperature to 
all displays. Color temperatures are expressed in degrees Kelvin (3200-9300K), and 
utilize different combinations of the projector’s original native color primaries to 
produce a “coloration” or cast (reddish or bluish) in images—the lower the 
temperature, the more reddish the cast; the higher the temperature, the more bluish the 
cast. Note that the slidebar is enabled...

3D STEREO SYNC SELECT — Define which of the Mirage 3D Stereo Sync Cable’s 
input connecters is routed to your server. Input A = BNC connector, Input B = 3-pin 
mini-DIN connector. Use only if the cable is present. NOTE: Regardless of which 
input is connected, the output routes to both outputs. 
 
NOTE: See 3.9, 3D Images for a full explanation of 3D Stereo Sync Select use. 
3D STEREO SYNC DELAY — Set when the L/R frames begin, defining the best...

Use the Configuration menu to 
define general operating 
parameters and 
communications with other 
projectors and equipment, and

processing and image 
adjustments affecting overall 
performance. In addition, the 
Configuration menu provides 
access to diagnostic and 
calibration tools, as well as the 
Service submenu (password protected).  
Keep in mind that settings in the Configuration menu (and its submenus) are typically...

single or multiple projectors are 
can link with each other and with a 
controlling device. 
Baud Rates 
The baud rate setting determines 
the speed of communication to and 
from the projector on the RS232 or 
RS422 links. The maximum rate 
for either standard is 115200. Set 
the baud rate to match that of your 
controlling device, such as your PC. If you are unsure about what baud rate to...

RS232 AND RS422 JOINED: Messages originating from an RS232 or RS422 controller 
will be relayed to all RS232 ports. Any Ethernet communication, however, will not. 
RS232 AND ETHERNET JOINED: Messages to and from the RS232 ports will also be 
relayed to the Ethernet port, and vice versa. Any RS422 communications will be 
isolated. 
ALL JOINED: All messages reach all ports, regardless of type.

Broadcast Key 
Enter a checkmark if you want keypad commands sent to any one projector to be 
relayed to all projectors in a serial network. Note that the 
Pr o j key will temporarily 
“override” the effect of a broadcast setting and allow you to control a specific 
projector when necessary. Make sure to remove the Broadcast Key checkmark when 
operating redundant networks.
