ations listed below are supported.Input configuration Description
Requirements
Four-Port Enables connection of four DVI cables to four DDIC
cards. Each DVI input supplies one quadr

ant or column
of a 4K input image. This configuration supports high
resolution and high frame rate input video streams. Four DDIC cards
Two Port Enables connection of two DVI cables to two DDIC
cards. Each DVI input supplies one of two columns of a
4K image. Two DDIC cards
One-Port Enables connection of one DVI cable to the DVI input of
a DDIC card (in an

y slot). In this configuration, the DVI
input supplies the entire video raster. One DDIC cardSelecting a video source
After connecting a video source to the projector
 , you must select it using the touch panel controller
(TPC).
1. On the touch panel controller, select  Input  > Channel .
2. Scroll the list of channels until you find the channel that best matches your configuration.
3. Tap the channel. An image appears on the screen. If an image does not appear on the screen, repeat steps 1
to 3, selecting a different channel. Connecting devices

							Connecting to a computer or server
Communicate with a remote computer
, server, or an existing network using a RJ-45 cable.
The RS232 port located on the MCPU faceplate uses Christie-proprietary protocol and is intended for
Christie accessories or automation controllers only.
For more information, on the serial commands, see the  Roadie4KSerialAP,CommandsTechnical
Reference(P/N:020-10191-XX) .1. Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the Ethernet hub or switch to the Ethernet port, located on the
projector 
 MCPU faceplate.
2. When using the Christie serial protocol over Ethernet, connect to port 3002.
3. For applications or equipment using serial communications, use the Christie-proprietary serial protocol to communicate with the RS422 port or the RS232 ports on the MCPU faceplate.
Setting up Ethernet
Ethernet is setup to obtain an IP address automatically if a DHCP serv er is on the network. To modify
IP settings, or manually enter an address.
1. On the touch panel controller, tap  Menu > Configuration > Ethernet Settings > Modify
IP Settings.
2. Set the network information for the projector

						

							Adjusting the Image
Adjust the projector image.
Selecting the scr
een image rotation
The projector supports front projection, rear projection, front projection in verted, and rear projection
inverted.
1. On the touch panel controller, tap  Menu > Configuration  >  Screen Image Orientation  .
2. Select the required orientation from the list.
Maximizing light output To ensure optimal operation, use LampLOC to adjust the lamp position whenever a new lamp is
installed or changes in the projector orientation (for example, from/to portr ait mode).
1. On the touch panel controller, tap  Menu > Lamp  > LampLOC.
2. Tap  Auto LampLOC.
Aligning the image Before adjusting boresight, ensure the image reflected from the digital micromirror device (DMD) is
parallel and centered with the lens and screen.
1. Verify that the projector is properly located and positioned relative to the screen.
2. Display a test pattern that can be used to analyze 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 installed. Always focus the center of the image first.
4. With the test pattern on screen, re-check the projector leveling so the top edge of the image is parallel to the top edge of the screen.

							Adjusting offset
Alw ays adjust offset before adjusting boresight.
For the best optical performance and minimal keystone, use offsets instead of aiming at the center of
the image, in off-axis installations.
Avoid extreme tilts or offsets. Corner vignettes on a white test pattern indicate extreme offset that
should be avoided using mechanical alignment.
1. Project an image with the primary lens.
2. Select a framing test pattern.
3. Adjust the vertical (A) and horizontal (B) offsets to display a square image on the screen, with minimal projector aiming error. Adjusting horizontal boresight
Boresight adjustment balances the tilt of the lens mount to compensate for screen-to-projector tilt. Warning! 
F
 ailure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury .

						

							2. Loosen the horizontal lock screw (A).
3.
Extend the lens focus (B) completely.
4. Adjust the focus using the focus knob to retract the lens. Watch the image at the left edge of the screen until it comes into focus. If the entire screen is
in focus, proceed to step 7.
5. Continue retracting the lens. a) If the right side of the image comes into focus before the lens is completely retracted,adjust the horizontal boresight bolt (C) to balance the left and right edges.
b) If the right side of the image fails to focus, adjust the horizontal boresight bolt (C)
6. When both sides appear equally blurry, adjust the offsets to re-center the image.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 until both sides of the image are focused.
8. Tighten the lock screw (A) and the lens mount stabilization screw (D) to maintain the adjustments.
9. Check the boresight again.
10. Adjust vertical boresight, if required.
11. To calibrate the lens motors, tap  Menu > Configuration > Calibrate Lens Motors .

							3. Loosen the vertical lock screw (A).
4.
Extend the lens focus (B) completely.
5. Adjust the Focus knob to retract the lens. Watch the image at the top edge of the screen until it comes into focus. If the entire screen is
in focus, proceed to step 8.
6. Continue retracting the lens. a) If the bottom edge of the image comes into focus before the lens is completelyretracted, adjust the vertical boresight bolt (C) to direct or aim the lens mount up
towards the top of the screen to balance out the top/bottom edges.
b) If the top edge of the image is not in focus, adjust the vertical boresight bolt (C) to direct or aim the lens mount toward the bottom of the screen
7. When both sides appear equally blurry, adjust the horizontal and/or vertical offset to re- center the image on the screen.
8. Repeat Steps 2 to 7 until the top and bottom of the screen are both well-focused.
9. Re-focus the center of the image. The goal is for good focus at the center and on all sides.
10. Tighten the lock screw (A) and the lens mount stabilization screw (D) to maintain the adjustments.
11. Check the boresight again.
12. Perform a lens calibration, tap  Menu > Configuration >  Calibrate Lens Motors .
