should magnify in the horizontal direction only, stretching the image straight across 
the screen—this requires that its aperture (visible within the lens) be vertically 
aligned with the screen. If the image appears skewed, loosen the locking ring on the 
anamorphic lens and rotate the lens as necessary until the wide image is horizontal.

Ballast Breaker (on/off) 
The breaker on the lamp ballast serves two purposes: 1) it is a power switch for the 
Roadie 25K ballast 2) it protects against over-current conditions of 50A or more. The 
breaker must be ON in order to enable normal Roadie 25K system power-up and 
operation. If faulty or major excessive AC is detected, the breaker...

Exhaust Duct 
Connect the projector’s 8” top exhaust hole to a rigid duct (provided). Add Christie’s 
50/60 Hz heat extractor at the opposite end of the duct so that adequate airflow (600 
cf/m) is maintained near the top of the projector. The vane switch in this vent will 
prevent start-up and/or trigger a shutdown if airflow is inadequate. See Section 2, 
Installation & Setup. In a stack of projectors, Christie’s Side-Venting Duct Adapter 
must be installed...
