The projector will respond to commands sent to this address after the next power-up, after which the IP address will remain in projector memory until you enter a new one, or until the DHCP checkbox is re- enabled. NOTES: Only the port and IP address of the projector can be changed. The subnet mask is fixed (255.255.255.0). CHANGING THE PORT#: On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may...

If a projector should then fail anywhere in the network, communication with the remaining projectors can be resumed in the opposite direction using the other standard. NOTE: This configuration requires that both standards be available from a single controller, or that you use an RS232/RS422 adapter. B....

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Roadie 25K User’s Manual 2-37 Figure 2.38. Sample Hardware Setups for Split Networks IMPORTANT Whenever downloading new projector software to networks, use a single-route RS232 network only. DISCONNECT any redundant serial cabling and Select “Separate” for “Network Routing” in each projector. To relay messages to all ports—RS232, RS422, and Ethernet—regardless of the original source, set the “Network Routing” option in the Communications menu to “All Joined” for...

In this case, select “All Joined” for “Network Routing” in the Communications menu so that all messages reach all ports throughout the network. Figure 2.39. Joining All Networks If desired, you can isolate your RS422 communications so that they are not relayed to any other network—select the “RS232 and Ethernet joined” option for “Network Routing” in the Communications...

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Roadie 25K User’s Manual 2-39 AC power levels vary from region to region throughout the world, with 400 VAC common in some countries (such as those in Europe and Asia), and 200 AC common elsewhere (such as in North America and Japan). To accommodate both possibilities, this ballast includes an internal Input Power Range Switch for toggling to the level of AC available at the installation site, i.e. either 200 or 400 VAC. The line cord plug must also match. From the...

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2-40 Roadie 25K User’s Manual When the ballast has been properly configured (see 2.8, Connecting the Ballast) and connected to the projection head, connect its integral line cord to AC. Then: Before powering up, set which size lamp is installed. This ensures that proper power is provided to the lamp upon ignition, preventing the risk of seriously overdriving a lamp. WARNING Explosion hazard. Keep the projector OFF until you have defined which lamp type is...

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Roadie 25K User’s Manual 2-41 NOTE: By default from the manufacturer, this projector is optimized for brightness rather than wider color gamut or higher contrast ratio—i.e., neither a small- diameter contrast ratio aperture nor the yellow notch filter is installed in the projector. These are options. Upon powering up the projector with a newly- installed/replaced lamp, adjust lamp position to help ensure optimized operation as well as peak brightness at the...

INSTALLATION AND SETUP 2-42 Roadie 25K User’s Manual 2. COARSE FOCUS: Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens only (see 3.14, Working with the Lenses). Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. 3. CENTER THE IMAGE IN THE LENS: Holding a piece of paper at the lens surface, adjust offsets as necessary until the image on the paper is centered within the lens perimeter. A full white field works best for this. 4....

INSTALLATION AND SETUP Roadie 25K User’s Manual 2-43 1. Adjust focus at the far left center edge of the image (Figure 2.45). If possible, reduce image size for easier image analysis. 2. If the image appears well- focused on the left edge but not on the right, then the boresight currently differs from one side to the other—i.e., the right side of the image is well-focused either in front of or behind the screen surface rather than on it. To determine where the right side is focusing:

Adjust the horizontal boresight bolt (Figure 2.47) as necessary to direct or “aim” the lens toward the side of the image which focused too close to the lens. When both sides appear equally blurry, re-focus on the left side of the screen. 4. Adjust horizontal offset to re-center the image on the screen. 5. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until both sides of the are well-focused. 6. Adjust the “hold” screw to lock in place, and check...
