Operation
This section explains how to correctly setup and operate the projector.
Using the IR Remote    
The standard IR remote can be used as a wired  or wireless control. Under optimal conditions, the 
wireless keypad can communicate with a projector over a 30 foot (10 m) distance. In wireless 
mode, the standard IR remote communicates with  a battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter. 
A laser pointer is built into the standard IR remote.
• Press keys one-at-a-time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required.
• Arrow keys are held down for continuous adjustment/movement in the related key direction.
• In serial networks, pause briefly between adjustments to make sure that distant displays can keep pace with the commands. If you press a key while the display is still responding to the 
previous action, such as during a power-up, the second key press may not take effect.
• For a description of the keys, see  IR Remote Commands on page 37.
Wired Remote
The wired remote is recommended when the lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR 
transmission. You can convert the standard IR remote  into a wired remote using an optional cable. 
Connect one end into the standard IR remote, and  the other into the designated port on the input 
panel. Batteries are only needed for the wire d remote if the laser pointer is required.
To use the wired remote, make sure it is enabled on the display that it is connected to. To check 
wired remote status select  Configuration > Communications  > Wired Keypad Enabled .
To use the wired remote to control multiple projec tors in an ArrayLOC network, make sure that 
wired remote support is enabled on the controlling  display, and that key synchronization is enabled 
on the controlling display and on all the receiving projectors. To synchronize go to  ArrayLOC > 
ArrayLOC Configuration  > Synchronize Keys, Test Pattern, Color Enable .
IR Remote Commands
Power
Press and hold the Power button for two seconds or press twic e quickly to power the projector On 
or Off. Or, press and release the  Power button followed immediately by the up arrow key (On) or 
Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in  the remote. Do not look directly into the
laser beam. Failure to comply could re sult in minor or moderate injury.
i The IR remote is included with the User  Kit (P/N: 130-103105-xx), which is shipped
separately.

the down arrow key (Off) to guarantee the correct ac tion. This is useful if you are not sure of the 
current state of the projector. 
Shutter
The  Shutter  button powers the LEDS On and 
Off to simulate shutter operation. Press and 
hold the  Shutter button to move between 
simulated shutter states in the following 
order: Open–Closed–Open. Or, press and 
release the  Shutter button followed 
immediately by the up arrow (closed) or 
down arrow (open) to guarantee the correct 
state. The shutter is open upon power-up. 
Close the shutter to block the displayed 
image while maintaining access to projector 
functions. Opening the shutter restores the 
image. The LED status display on the 
projector displays  SH when the shutter is in 
black mode.
Input
Press  Input  to select the main input. Press 
the button again to se lect the secondary 
input. See  Select Inputs  on page 39.
Input Slots
Press Slot 1  to assign Input 1 to the Main 
Input or press  Slot 2 to assign Input 2 to the Main Input. Press  Slot 3 to display interleaved video 
(120 Hz). Press  Slot 4 to display InfraScene.
Swap
Press Swap to quickly switch the inputs between the main and secondary. See  Select Inputs on 
page 39.
Te s t
Steps forward through all internal test patterns. Af ter stepping past the last test pattern, the menu 
returns to the current input. Press  Test and then cycle through the test patterns by pressing the 
left / right arrow keys. Press  Exit to return to the current input.

Press the  Laser button to activate the laser pointer on the remote.
Select Inputs
An input is an input source physically connected to the projector. Input describes the source signal 
to which it is connected. For a full explanation of  how to connect sources to the projector, see 
Connect a Source  on page 18.
1. From the Main menu, select  Input & Switching. 
2. From the  Main Input drop-down menu  specify the source of the image. Select from  Input 1 
and  Input 2 .
3. If the projector(s) are to operate with InfraS cene, the source of the image for the secondary 
input must be specified through the  Secondary Input drop-down menu. 
4. Frame Locking  is enabled by default. This feature is  used to select how the projector controls 
the output frame timing based on  the input signal. When set to Frame Lock, output image 
frames are locked to the input if possible. When  locked, the output is always locked to the main 
input. When working with two inputs you can select input 2 as the lock source for the output by 
selecting  Frame Lock Secondary . See Control Frame Locking  on page 47.   
ArrayLOC
Mirage WQ-L projectors use ArrayLOC to display a common gamut and brightness across an array of 
projectors. ArrayLOC monitors the projector arra y and adjusts settings automatically. The following 
section outlines how to manage color using ArrayLOC. 
i 
You can use the IR remote to setup your inputs ; however, Christie recommends that inputs 
are setup through the WebUI.
i 
• To quickly and easily swap your inputs  select Swap Main and Secondary Inputs. 
• To adjust the gamma settings  for the secondary input select Secondary Image Settings. 
See  Adjust Gamma Settings  on page 45.
i 
ArrayLOC is enabled by default.

Take Control of the Array
Use this menu to set up array color and brightness.  By default ArrayLOC is configured to display the 
EBU gamut at the maximum brightness the array can support.      
1. On the projector you want to work with, access the ArrayLOC menu:  Main Menu > ArrayLOC.
2. Check  Synchronize to This Projector to make the current projector the master.
Changes you make in the  Array Color Target, Bright/ColorLO C Configuration, and RGB 
and  IR Brightness Targets  on the master projector are broadcast to the other projectors in 
the array. 
The master projector has access to most setting s under the Bright/ColorLOC Configuration and 
Array Color Target submenus. These settings are  greyed out on the other projectors in the 
array to prevent conflicting information from being sent.
3. Enable  Bright/ColorLOC Mode  to automatically achieve and maintain a target gamut and 
brightness. See Configure Bright/ColorLOC  on page 40.  
4. RGB  and  IR Brightness Target  fields are typically only enabled on the master unless the 
system is not synchronized. 
See  Configure ArrayLOC  on page 43.
5. Select  Auto Color Enable  and Test Pattern Enable . The system (background) color changes 
to the target color being adjusted. 
For example: 
• Red/green/blue part of red changes the system color to red.
• Red/green/blue part of green changes the system color to green.
• Red/green/blue part of blue changes the system color to blue.
All other menu options change the system color to white as long as  Test Pattern Enable is 
checked. The color resets automatically when you exit the menu.
Configure Bright/ColorLOC
This menu is used to configure the warning and minimum brightness and gamut thresholds.
i 
While working in the ArrayLOC menu and su bmenus, ArrayLOC displays a warning if 
adjusted settings fall outside th e range the system can adjust for.
Warnings include:
• Minimum brightness not met (BCLOC disabled)
• Minimum brightness not met (Warning)
• Min Gamut not met (BCLOC disabled)
• Min Gamut not met (Warning)
i 
A projector with Bright/ColorLOC mode disabled ignores BCLOC changes from the master 
projector. If at any point you are working wi th a slave projector you may not be able to 
change some settings as they  are locked (grayed out). To change which projector is the 
master check the Synchronize to This Pr ojector option on another projector.
