Section 1: Introduction
1.3 Projector Overview
The J Series is a family of high resolution video/graphics 3 chip 1080p HD, SXGA+, and WUXGA projectors; 
see  Table 1.3 J Series Projectors . These projectors are based on DLP® technology provided by Texas 
Instruments. 
1.3.1 How the Projector Works
The projector accepts data/graphics an d video input signals for projection onto front or rear screens. Light is 
generated by a xenon lamp, and modulated by three Dig ital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) panels that provide 
digitized red, green or blue color information. Light fro m the “ON” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged 
and then projected to the screen thro ugh a single front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a 
sharp full-color image. 
1.3.2 User Interface Overview
The projector can be controlled via a menu system displa yed on the image. The menu system can be controlled 
by an IR remote, wired remote or  through the built-in keypad.  The LCD screen and built-in keypad 
allow some functions to be controlled without the need  of an OSD display, and provide a quickly accessible 
interface to view error reporting. Th e functions on the OSD can also be controlled using the Christie Serial 
Protocol, via a serial or Ethernet co nnection to the projector. The Web interface provides access to the menu 
system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen display) and to feat ures that maintain the projector software and settings. 
1.3.3 List of Components
