3 Connect Devices to the cinema projector
This section provides information and procedures for connecting input devices to the cinema projector. You 
connect input devices to the cinema projector Intelligence Board (PIB) located on side of the cinema projector.
These communication ports are accessible by removi ng the side source and communication access panel. 
When connecting devices, route all cables along the ch annels located on the bottom of the cinema projector 
and up through the opening  in the frame to the communication connection port.
Replace the access panel to ensure server and source connections remain secure.

3.1 Connect a Communications Device
To communicate with the cinema projector, connect the equipment to the Ethernet hub or switch.
For applications or equipment utilizing  serial communications, use the Christie-proprietary serial protocol to 
connect to the RS232 PIB port on the PIB. When using Christie serial protocol over Ethernet connect to port 
5000.
 NOTICE:  The RS232 PIB port located on  the PIB faceplate utilizes Christie-proprietary protocol and is 
intended for Christie accessories  or automation controllers only.

3.2 Connect Devices to the SCCI Port
The Simple Contact Closure Port (SCCI) port is a DB-9 (male) connector is located on the PIB input panel and 
is used to control a limited set of  cinema projector functionality through  contact closures. This table lists the 
control functions availa ble through the SCCI:
Table 3.1  SCCI Connector Pinouts 
NOTE: All SCCI inputs require a pulse input of 50ms to  several seconds to operate reliably. Inputs are 5V 
resistor current limited LED’s inside of optocouplers.
A “Health Output” on this connector  is also provided for locations that require a cinema projector Health 
Output. The output is an open-collector circuit which on ly draws power when the cinema projector is deemed 
to be “un-healthy”. The primary use of the cinema projecto r Health Output is to ensure that patrons are not left 
in a dark theatre due to cinema projector fault. Therefore, any fault that results in the movie playback stopping 
should cause this circuit to draw  power and indicate an un-healthy stat e. The cinema projector is always 
considered to be “healthy” in Standby Mode since there  is no fear of cinema projector fault causing an impact 
to patrons, and there should be no  patrons in the theatre at that time.

3.3 Connect Devices to the GPIO Port
The GPIO port is a 37-pin D-sub connector (female) located on the PIB input panel and provides 8 input and 7 
output signals for connecting external devices to the cinema projector. To configure the pins on the connector, 
tap Menu  > Administrator Setup  > GPIO Setup.
As shown below, each available pairing of  pins (+/–) is defined as either an input or output. Four inputs and 
three outputs have already been predef ined. Configure a pin as an input if you want the cinema projector to 
respond to an incoming signal, or as  an output if you want an external device to respond to the cinema 
projector.

4 Adjust the Image
This section provides information and procedures for adjusting the cinema projector image.
4.1 Maximize Light Output 
To ensure optimal operation and peak screen bright ness, use LampLOC™ to adjust the lamp position 
whenever you install a new lamp. Wh en you complete the LampLOC adjustment, the lamp is centered and is 
the correct distance from the illumination syst em. Before running LampLOC, verify that:
• The anode yoke is in the co rrect position for the lamp type. 
• The lamp extension nut is installe d when using a CDXL-30SD lamp. Remove the nut if you are not using a 
CDXL-30SD lamp . 
• The lamp is on and  the douser is open. 
1. On the Touch Pad Controller, tap the  Test Patterns icon.
2. Tap the  Full Screen White  test pattern.
3. Tap  Menu >  Advanced Setup  > LampLOC™
 Setup .
4. Tap  Do Auto .     
4.2 Calibrate Screen Brightness (fL)
1. On the Touch Pad Controller, tap  Menu > Administrator Setup >  Foot Lamberts Calibration .
2. Complete the  Foot Lamberts Calibration  wizard.
4.3 Basic Image Alignment
This procedure ensures that the im age reflected from the digital microm irror device (DMD) is parallel and 
centered with the lens and screen. This procedure must be completed before you complete a boresight 
adjustment.
1. Verify the cinema projector is properly positione d relative to the screen. See 2.3 Position the cinema 
projector.
2. Display a test pattern that you can use to analy ze image focus and geometry. The framing test pattern 
works well for this.
3. Perform a preliminary focus and (if available) a zoom  adjustment with the primary lens. Focus the center 
of the image first. See  Section 5.6: Work with Lenses .
4. Hold a piece of paper at the lens  surface and adjust the offsets until the  image is centered within the lens 
perimeter.
5. With the framing test pattern on screen, re-check cine ma projector leveling so the top edge of the image is 
parallel to the top ed ge of the screen.

Adjust the Image
4.4 Adjust Offset
Project an image with the primary lens. Always 
adjust offset before boresight. 
Select a framing test pattern and then adjust the 
horizontal and vertical offset to display a square 
image on the screen with minimal cinema 
projector aiming error. ( Figure 4-1) 
NOTES:  1)  For the best optical performance 
and minimize keystone error, use offset and not 
aiming to center the image in off axis 
installations.  2) Avoid extreme tilts or offsets. 
Corner vignettes on a white test pattern indicate 
extreme offset that should be avoided using 
mechanical alignment. 
4.5 Adjust Offset with an ILS
Project an image with the primary lens. Always 
adjust offset before boresight.  Ensure the correct 
lens is selected in th e Advanced Setup: Lens 
Adjust window before ca libration to ensure you 
remain within the ap plicable boundary of the installed lens . 
1. Tap  Menu > Advanced Setup  > Lens Setup. 
2. Tap  Enable Automatic ILS . Enabling Automatic ILS overwrites the  pre-defined settings for the channel.
3. Tap the Test Patterns icon and select a framing test pattern.    
4. Tap  Menu > Advanced Setup  > ILS File Setup .
5. Tap the directional arrows in the  Offset area. For best optical perform ance, make sure to minimize 
keystone error by using offset more than aiming to  center the image in off axis installations. Avoid extreme 
tilts or offsets. Corner vignettes on  a white test pattern indicates extreme offset that should be avoided 
using mechanical alignment. 
4.6 Adjust Left and Right Boresight
When performing these adjustments the go al is to balance the tilt of the lens mount to compensate for screen to 
cinema projector tilt, but also to pr ecisely maintain the original factor y settings of the lens mount axial 
position.
1. Loosen the horizontal hold screw. 
2. Extend the lens focus completely.
