Installation
This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector. Illustrations are graphical representations only and are provided to enhance the understanding of the written material. When designing a projection room for either a permanent or temporary installation, consider positioning the projector and screen for maximum audience coverage and space efficiency. For example, placing the screen along the larger wall in a rectangular room reduces audience coverage.
Other considerations:
• Operating single or multiple units.
• Room size.
• Lighting and audience seating.
• Distance between the audience and the display.
• Angle from which the display is viewed.
Installation Procedures
Unpack the Projector
The projector should be lifted by two people. Use the designated handles to help lift and support the projector. Use a stable cart to transport the projector. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.
Do not place the projector onto a surface with the line cord retainer side down. Failure to comply may result in damage to the line cord retainer. i
Christie recommends that the packaging material for at least one projector is saved in case one needs to be shipped for service.
The projector is shipped assembled with the projection lens shipped separately. Install the lens
once the projector is fully assembled and in its final position. See Install the Lens on page 16 .
1. Remove the line cord from the packaging.
2. Remove the top foam from the box.

Installation
Mount the Projector
Do not stack units. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.
Failure to comply with the following may result in equipment damage:
• Air flows in through the front of the projector and out the rear of the projector.
Insufficient airflow can cause the projector to overheat during operation and / or place stress on the source connections. When mounting the projector allow for up to 1100
CFM of airflow through the projector. Ambient temperature must stay below 40° C
(95° F).
• Inlet air temperature must be below 40° C (95° F).
• Keep the projector away from all devices radiating electromagnetic energy. For example, motors and transformers, speakers, power amplifiers, and elevators.
The mounting support system and the mounting surface must be evaluated and accepted by local authorities and must adhere to local standards and safety regulations.
i
Mounting points are available on all four sides of the projector, including the front face. Each side has six mounting points, two of which are on the front plate. The front plate has an additional seven front facing mounting points. Christie recommends that a minimum of four mounting points are used in any installation, with at least one of the mounting points being on the front plate. A 10mm thread engagement and a minimum torque of 30 in.-lbs
(3.5 Nm) /maximum torque of 35 in.-lbs (4 Nm) is recommended. For some installations it may be necessary to remove the front handles once the projector is in its final location. To remove the handles use a 5 mm hex driver to loosen the two socket head cap screws.

Setup Procedures
Adjust Lens Focus
i
Failure to properly adjust lens focus results in an image that is not uniformly focused and contains geometric distortion.
This section describes best practices for lens focus adjustment of the 0.68:1 WQXGA lens
(P/N: 125-103105-xx), the 0.80:1 WQXGA lens (PN: 125-105107-xx), and the 1.28 - 1.71:1
WQXGA lens (P/N: 125-101103-xx).
1. Loosen the locking screw and the focusing screw.
2. Adjust the focusing screw for best focus in the image center.
3. 0.68:1 Lens Only: Loosen the field curvature locking screw and adjust the field curvature focusing ring to sharpen the image corners.
4. Adjust the focus screw for best overall screen focus.
5. Although it is not necessary, you may want to retighten the main locking screw. Use a maximum of 4 in.-lbs (0.45 Nm) to tighten.

Calculate Throw Distance and Position
Throw distance is the distance measured from your projector to the screen. This calculation determines if there is enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if the image size will be the accurate size for your screen. To estimate the throw distance take the horizontal width of the screen and multiply it by the lens throw ratio. The result determines approximately the distance the projector should be positioned from the screen to project a focused

Installation image large enough to fill the screen. For example, using a 1.28 - 1.71 zoom lens set at its widest
(1.2:1) throw ratio, throw distance would roughly be 1.2 x screen width. i
Use the lens and screen size to calculate the precise throw distance. Due to lens manufacturing tolerances for lens focal length, actual throw distance can vary ±2% between lenses with the same nominal throw ratio.

1. The left and right horizontal offset examples are based on the projector being in the normal landscape orientation and looking towards the front of the projector from the back (input panel side).
• Offsets are subject to ±7% centering tolerance.
• Image size outside the specified width range may result in reduced image quality.
• Throw distance is measured from the marked exit pupil position on the lens to the screen. Throw ratio is defined as:
Throw ratio = throw distance ± 2%
screen width
• 100% offset is defined as having all pixels shifted beyond the projector optical axis.
• Offsets are measured from the optical lens centre, which may not coincide with the mechanical centre.% offset is defined as:
% Offset = # of pixels of offset x 100
half vertical panel resolution
Determine Vertical and Horizontal Position
The projection lens and the screen type determine the vertical and horizontal position of your projector in relation to the screen. Ideally, you should position the projector perpendicular to the screen to make the image appear rectangular instead of keystoned (trapezoidal). You can offset vertical position of the image (move it above or below the optical axis) by adjusting the lens mount.
The type of projection lens you install determines the amount of available vertical offset. Vertical offset can be expressed as the percent of half the image height or the number of pixels of shift from lens center.

Installation
• Offsets are subject to ±7% centering tolerance.
• % offset is defined as:
% Offset = # of pixels of offset x 100
half vertical panel resolution
The horizontal position of the image can also be offset (moved to the left or right of the optical center) by adjusting the lens mount. The amount of horizontal offset available depends on the lens installed and if the image has already been vertically offset. Horizontal offset can be expressed as the percent of half the image width or the number of pixels of shift to one side of lens center.
1280 pixels display to left of lens center
1280 pixels display to right of lens center
640 pixels to left of lens center
1920 pixels displayed to right of lens center or 480 pixels of shift to the right of lens center
0% Offset 50% Offset
In this example, no offset is applied.
Therefore, half of the image appears to the left of lens center and half appears to the right.
Shaded area = projected area
In this example, 50% offset is applied.
Therefore, 3/4 or 75% of the image appears to one side of the lens center.
Connect a Source
All source connections are made to the input panel, located at the back of the projector. Each input
is labeled for easy identification. Using the correct cable(s), connect your source. See Network

Mixed Serial Network (RS232 and RS422)
Do not connect incompatible equipment, including the wrong type of serial cable to the
RS422 port. Failure to comply could cause equipment damage.
RS422 serial communication is better over long distances than RS232 communication. Use the
RS422 port only if your device has RS422 capability. Always read the equipment literature before connecting. In the RS422 network the controller can communicate with the first projector and the command can be relayed to each serially connected projector.

ArrayLOC Network Configuration
Preliminary color setup is managed by ArrayLOC. ArrayLOC is enabled by default and configured to display a reasonably saturated gamut at the maximum brightness that all the projectors in the array can support. See
Configure the Display on page 48 for detailed information.
A projector that is not connected via ArrayLOC functions as a single unit array. i
ArrayLOC over Control Network
Use the Control Network for ArrayLOC when you want to communicate with the projectors in the array over the same network.
1. Connect the controller by connecting a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the PC and the ArrayLOC network switch.
2. Connect a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between the ArrayLOC network switch and the Control
Network port of each projector.
3. From the Main menu, select ArrayLOC > ArrayLOC Configuration.
4. From the ArrayLOC Network drop-down list select Control Network.

Adjust Image Geometry and Optical Alignment
i
This initial optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing images on the screen, and must be completed before final boresight adjustments. Only perform image alignment once the projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final location.
Basic Optical Alignment
1. Press Test on the IR remote to display a test pattern.
It is recommended to use the Edge Blend or Grid test pattern.
2. Perform a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens. Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. It is good practice to have the zoom adjustment collar and the focus adjustment collar in the center of its range.
3. Hold a piece of paper at the lens surface, adjust offsets as necessary until the image is centered within the lens perimeter. A full white field works best for this.
4. If necessary, center the image on the screen. If the projector is mounted off-center to the screen axis, then offset the lens as much as required. Aim the projector over slightly towards the center of the screen, but use caution, as too much tilt will cause excessive keystone distortion. Lens offset will not.
5. With the test pattern on screen, double-check projector leveling so the top edge of the image is parallel to the top edge of the screen. Make sure the projector is positioned in the throw distance range for the lens in use.
Folded Optics
In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set — if considering this type of installation contact Christie Customer Support for assistance.

Boresight Alignment
i
• Boresight alignment is an advanced feature and should only be performed by experienced users.
• You can also use the Grid or Edge blend test pattern to perform boresight alignment.
1. Display the Boresight test pattern by pressing Test on the IR remote and use the
Left arrow key to cycle to Boresight.
2. Adjust the lens focusing ring until each square displayed in the Boresight test pattern is focused. If all three squares are in focus, no further action is required.
3. If boresight is required, see the image on the right to understand how the adjustment screws on the lens mount affect the corresponding squares on the test pattern.
4. Use a 5 mm hex key to loosen the three locking set screws on the lens mount. The set screws must be backed out several turns, so that they do not contact the inner lens mount plate.
Setscrew
1
3
2
Capscrew
5. Fine tune the focus of square one, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with minimal flare.
6. Adjust square 2, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with minimal flare.
7. Adjust square 3, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the image is in focus with minimal flare.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7, as required until all squares on the test pattern are equally focused. If the boresight is acceptable, continue to step 11. If the boresight does not appear to be converging to an acceptable level of image quality or if the lens will not focus over the correct range of throw distances, then the boresight requires coarse adjustment. See step 9.
9. The original factory boresight can be recovered approximately by positioning the three set screws. Position the set screws flush with the front face of the lens mount plate and in contact with the inner lens mount plate. This may require adjusting both set screws and cap screws.
10. If further action is required, repeat step 2.
11. Lock the set screws, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the set screws to prevent them from shifting.
12. When the image is focused, lock adjustments in place by tightening the adjustment screws until just tight.

Operation
This section explains how to correctly setup and operate the projector.
Using the IR Remote
Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. Do not look directly into the laser beam. Failure to comply could result 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 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 39.
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 wired 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 projectors 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.

A projector with Bright/ColorLOC mode disabled ignores BCLOC changes from the master projector. If at any point you are working with a slave projector you may not be able to change some settings as they will be locked (grayed out). To change which projector is the master check the Synchronize to This Projector option on another projector.
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 45.
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.

2. Set the Minimum Brightness value (as a percentage of the target brightness). This setting indicates the minimum brightness that the array will target, and the threshold for alerts from projectors that cannot achieve the minimum. i
Projectors that fall below the minimum are excluded from the calculations of the common gamut and common brightness. If the projector falls below the minimum, the projector operates at its current brightness and gamut. LED drive level changes and electronic color correction is not done.
3. Set the Minimum Gamut value (as a percentage of the target gamut). This setting indicates the minimum gamut that the array will display, and the threshold for alerts from projectors that cannot achieve the specified minimum.
Projector Capability identifies t he projector capability with respect to the array common color gamut as defined by Color Target and Brightness Target. 100 % indicates the projector meets the target. A greater number indicates that the projector can exceed the target. A smaller number indicates how much the projector falls short of meeting the target.
The failure point for maintaining minimum gamut is calculated as: a b
< minimum gamut
For example: Where b is the length of the line from the target white point to the target color primary, and a is the length of the line from the target white point to the intersection of the projector capability gamut line and the line from the target white point to the target color primary.
4. Set the Warning Brightness Threshold as a percentage of the brightness target. Making changes to this option, recalculates the internal brightness warning level, and if warnings are enabled checks the current common brightness capability against the brightness warning level.
When the common brightness reaches the warning level, all projectors in the BCLOC group issue the warning message,
Projector fails to meet warning brightness threshold of xx%; capability xx%
.
Target white a b
Target green primary
5. Set the Warning Gamut Threshold as a percentage of the target gamut. Making changes to this option, recalculates the internal gamut warning level, and if warnings are enabled, checks the current common gamut against the gamut warning level. When the common gamut falls below this level, all projectors in the BCLOC group issue the warning message,
Projector fails to meet warning gamut threshold of xx%; capability Rxx% Gxx%

Adjust Projected White and Primary Colors for the Array
User-defined target color spaces allow color primaries and white points to be adjusted independently. For example, you can select the target color space User 1, copy the values from the target color space Factory, leave the color primaries, and adjust only the white point. All the settings for a user-defined color space are editable.
Use this menu on the master projector to configure the target color space settings. This is the recommended way to control the color space for the projector and array . The settings apply to the projectors in the same ArrayLOC group. These settings are enabled on master projectors only.

Use the information below and a color meter for the XXX Part of YYY adjustments.
1. To note the xy color values reported for the common gamut, navigate to Main Menu >
ArrayLOC > Array Color Target.
2. Measure the projected primary color with the meter and compare the metered values to the common gamut values.
Use the adjustment guide to determine how to adjust the Projector Color Adjustment values to correct the differences. The adjustment guides are color coded. The suggested corrections are also color coded, and reflect the direction of the change, + or -. For example, if the measured red is 660,
325 and the Common Gamut value is 640, 330 then the measured x is high (High X) while the measured y is low (Low Y). The corresponding quadrant of the RED guide indicates +G (increase green) to correct the mismatch with other projectors.
Once you have made an adjustment, re-measure and refer to the guide for the next adjustment.
Repeat until the desired color accuracy is achieved.

i
To access the gamma settings for your secondary input select Input and Switching >
Secondary Image Settings > Secondary Gamma Settings.
To access the Gamma Settings, select Image Settings > Gamma Settings. The system offers two types of gamma correction. Gamma correction can be applied to a specific source to correct for luma encoding. This is the Gamma control. The system also provides a global Gamma Correction control. The global control offers an offset applied to all displays. This offset is used to compensate for changes in ambient conditions, such as ambient light in the room and projected material.
Gamma Correction
Gamma correction should only be adjusted to compensate for ambient conditions.
i
Gamma Correction applies a global offset to all gamma settings for each input. This offset is used to compensate for changes in ambient conditions, such as ambient light in the room and projected material. It affects the shape of the curve by performing a linear transform toward a gamma curve of 1.0 while the control is increasing and likewise a linear transform toward a gamma of 3.0 as the control is decreasing. To correct a particular source only, use the Gamma control.
Select Gamma
Select the base gamma table for a given source. Select from one of the standard tables, a custom gamma function, or select an arbitrary gamma table that has been downloaded to the projector. A separate PC utility is needed to do this.
2.22
Standard has standard linear rise near black
The 2.22 curve is a power curve typically used to encode graphics and video
Signal Input Level Signal Input Level sources. The Standard curve
(auto setup default) is a modified 2.22 curve with a small linear section in the black that enhances the detail in darker areas of the projected content. Typically Standard or 2.22 is used for all sources. Alternatively, if neither default is ideal, apply a simple gamma curve by defining a custom power function and slope. Select Gamma Function to enable the function and slope controls. i
For complex non-standard gamma curves, a user-defined curve created externally and downloaded to the projector can be used (requires separate PC-based Arbitrary Gamma software application to create the table, and the WebUI to download it). If any of these special user curves have been installed, their names will appear in the Gamma drop-down list.

If there is an AC power interruption while Auto Power Up is enabled, the projector will resume operation in the same state as it left off. If the light engine is On and an image showing when AC power is lost, the projector will automatically power back up, and an image will show when AC is restored.
Auto Shutdown Enable
When Auto Shutdown Enable has been selected, and no projector activity has been seen for the activation time-out period, the projector will enter a power-saving mode in which the light engine will dim and the shutter will close. If this condition persists for an additional time-out period, the projector will automatically go into Standby mode. The presence of any activity within this combined interval will cancel auto shutdown and return the projector to normal operation.
Turn Off Image After (min)
This sets the activation interval (in minutes) for auto shutdown. If all activity (input signals, Web or
Serial port activity key presses) is lost for this length of time, and auto shutdown is enabled, an auto shutdown cycle will begin.
Enter Standby After (min)
This sets the interval (in minutes) between starting Auto Shutdown and entering Standby mode.
Once Auto Shutdown has been entered, and all activity continues to be absent for this interval, the projector will automatically enter power Standby mode.
Stealth Mode
Check this option to operate the projector with the status LED display on the input panel powered
Off. The status LED is powered Off during operation only. In Standby mode, the status LED displays codes normally. Operating in Stealth mode is recommended when images are displayed using only non-visible (IR) light. In this mode any visible light from the projector can noticeably reduce image contrast as seen through NVG devices.
Fan Assist
If necessary, use the slide bar to increase projector fan control. An increase to this setting will make the fans quicker to react and run at a higher intensity. The default setting is 0. Increase the setting when operating in high ambient conditions. This may help ease thermal problems in such environments. Fan assist increases noise levels.

Operation
3D Operation of Mirage Projectors
Images generated from a stereo 3D video source consist of a series of images or frames that alternate quickly between two slightly different viewpoints, corresponding to our left and right eyes.
When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special glasses synchronized to the left or right changes, the resulting image appears to have the same depth and perspective as reality.
To display stereoscopic 3D video, you must connect the Mirage WQ-L projector to additional hardware such as stereo emitters and glasses. The type of 3D glasses can be active or passive depending on the type of stereo controller and screen used.
3D System Timing
When configuring the projector for 3D operation, consult the documentation for your glasses or polarization filter and keep their specifications in mind. The projected video must be optimized for the glasses’ shutter speed or polarization filter performance to prevent “ghosting” of the video content (known as cross-talk in stereo 3D applications) or other more subtle color artifacts. Visual performance can be optimized by adjusting the Dark Interval and the 3D Sync Delay settings.
3D Input Video Configurations
The stereo 3D input video stream is sent from the content server to the projector using 3D direct or dual-input.
3D Frame Doubled Input
3D Frame Doubled Input will be available with Mirage WQ-L software release 1.2.1.
i
The Mirage projector supports a WQXGA 60Hz (30 Hz per eye) video input over a single DVI-D cable. In this configuration a single video stream is provided by the video server, with the left eye and right eye frames supplied as alternate frames. The display is frame doubled by the projector resulting in 120 Hz projection. A 3D Input Sync must be used to identify the left eye frames.
3D Dual-Input 120Hz native output
The Mirage projector supports two WQXGA 60Hz video inputs, with the left eye frames supplied by one video input and the right eye frames supplied by the other. The video streams must be frame locked and supplied concurrently. The 3D dual-input video streams are supplied by two DVI Dual
Link connections.
3D Requirements
To control the projector’s processing, synchronization, and display of the stereoscopic 3D source material, stereo 3D applications require a stereo 3D-capable source, special hardware and software, and the settings of the projector.
Hardware Requirements for Stereo 3D Applications
• Christie Digital Systems Mirage WQ-L Series projector .

Operation
For operation with passive glasses, a 3D polarization filter is placed in front of the lens and is synchronized to the projected frames with the 3D Sync Out signal (BNC A). The left/right synchronization signal is connected to BNC B on the projector, which is necessary for 3D frame doubled input configurations.
Set Up the Mirage WQ-L to Display 3D Content
The projector must be installed to correctly display 2D content (optically aligned, focused, etc.) before configuring the 3D content:
1. Connect the 3D equipment to the projector using the instructions provided with the 3D equipment.
2. Click Main Menu > Image Settings > 3D Settings.
3. Select 3D Mode as Dual Input or Frame Doubled, according to how the source is connected to the projector.
4. Configure your 3D source.
5. For Dual Input mode, use the Main Input field and select Input 1 or Input 2 for the left eye and set the Secondary Input to the other input for the right eye.
6. For 3D Frame Doubled mode, set the 3D Sync Input to the External if a sync signal is connected, or Internal if no 3D sync signal is connected to the projector.
7. To enable the 3D Sync output, set the 3D Sync Output to the To Emitter selection, or To
Next Input for a projector array.
8. Set the last projector in the array to To Emitter.
9. Display the 3D Test Pattern.
If you can see both a grid and a checkerboard test pattern superimposed with each eye, increase the Dark Interval until a different test pattern is visible on the left eye and the right eye.
10. To minimize the ghosting of the two patterns with respect to one another, adjust the 3D Sync
Output delay as necessary.
The delay adjusts when the sync pulse is sent to the emitter with respect to the dark time transition on the DMDs.
11. To reverse the left and right eye images, select Invert 3D Input.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Lens
Check periodically. A small amount of dust or dirt on the lens has minimal effect on image quality.
To avoid the risk of scratching the lens, clean only if absolutely necessary.
Remove Dust
1. Brush most of the dust from the lens with a camel-hair brush or blow dust away with a dustfree blower.
2. Fold a microfibre cloth smooth and gently wipe remaining dust particles from the lens. Wipe evenly with the smooth portion of the cloth that has no folds or creases. Do not apply pressure with your fingers – use the tension in the folded cloth itself to collect dust.
3. If significant dust is still bound to the surface, dampen a clean microfibre cloth with coated optics cleaning solution (damp, not dripping). Wipe gently until clean.
Remove Fingerprints, Smudges, or Oil
1. Brush away most of the dust with a camel-hair brush and/or blow away using a dust-free blower.
2. Roll a lens tissue around a swab and soak it in coated optics cleaning solution. The tissue should be damp, but not dripping.
3. Gently wipe the surface using a figure-eight motion. Repeat this motion until the blemish is removed.

Serial Communication
• Reply: The projector returns the data in response to a request or as confirmation of a command.
All “Remote Control” information passes IN and OUT of the projector as a simple text message, consisting of a three letter command code, an optional four-letter subcode, and any related data.
When a parameter for a specific source is being accessed, the four-letter subcode will be added on to the Command code. A number of optional features (message acknowledges, checksums, and network addressing) can be included.
Generally, most commands include 0 or 1 data fields or parameters. Where applicable, a message may expand to include additional parameters of related details.
The smallest step size for any parameter is always 1. For some controls (i.e. Size) the value displayed on the screen has a decimal point. (e.g. 0.200 to 4.000) In this case, the values used for the serial communications is an integer value (e.g. 200 to 4000), not the decimal value seen on the screen.
Regardless of message type or origin, all messages use the same basic format and code. Opening and closing round brackets (parentheses) surround each message.

Serial Communication
Prefix Characters (optional)
For acknowledgement that the projector has responded, and/or to maximize message integrity, insert one or two special characters before the three-character Function code:
Special Character
$
#
&
Description
Simple Acknowledgment, which will cause a ‘$’ character to be sent back from
the projector when it has finished processing the message. See Maximize
Message Integrity on page 69 .
Full Acknowledgment, which will cause an echo of the message as a reply to be
sent back from the projector when it has finished processing the message. See
Maximize Message Integrity on page 69
.
Checksum, which will allow a checksum to be put as the last parameter in the
message for verification at the projector. See Maximize Message Integrity on page 69
.
Projector Numbers (optional)
To control a selected projector or controller within a group, include its assigned number or address
just before the three-character ASCII Function code. See Network Operation on page 71.
Function Code
The projector function you wish to work with, such as input selection or gamma, is represented by a three-character ASCII code (A-Z, upper or lowercase). This Function code appears immediately after the leading “(“ (left bracket) that starts the message. In messages sent to the projector that do not have a Subcode, a space between the Function code, and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.
+Subcode
The projector function you wish to work with may have one or more subcodes that will allow you to select a specific source, image, input or subfunction. The Subcode is represented by a fourcharacter ASCII code (A-Z, upper or lowercase, and 0-9). This Subcode appears immediately after the Function code, with a “+” character to separate the code, and subcode. If there is no Subcode, the “+” (plus sign) is also omitted. In messages sent to the projector that do have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.
Request/Reply Symbols
If the controller is requesting information from the projector, a “?” (question mark) appears directly after the Function code. If the projector is replying, an “!” (exclamation mark) appears directly after the Function code. For Set type messages sent to the projector, neither of these characters appear.
Data directly follows the code and subcode.

Data
The value for a given projector state, such as “ON” or “OFF”, appears in ASCII-decimal format directly after the request/reply symbol. You can add an optional space after the symbol (i.e., before the data) in a set message, but data in replies follow the “!” (exclamation) symbol without a space.
Other details to remember about data:
• All values returned by the projector (reply messages) have a fixed length, regardless of the actual value. For a specific parameter, the length will always be the same (e.g. contrast is always returned as three characters, projector number is always returned as five characters).
The minimum parameter size is three characters. Values that are less than the pre-defined size will be padded with leading zeros as needed. Parameters which have negative signs (-) are zero padded after the negative sign, and will have one less digit to make space for the sign.
• If entering a negative number, there must be a space between the code/subcode, and the value. For example, (CRM3) and (CRM 3) can both be used when the number is positive. (CRM
-2) is acceptable, but (CRM-2) is not.
• Data in set messages to the projector do not require padding with zeros.
• Within each message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one “space” character.
• Text parameters are enclosed in double quotes following the data, as in “Name”.

Serial Communication
Maximize Message Integrity
For additional reassurance and/or maximum message integrity, you can insert one or two special characters:
• Acknowledgements: If you want assurance from the projector (or group of projectors) that a set message has been processed, request an acknowledgement. An acknowledgement is returned after a message has been received and fully executed by the projector (i.e. in the case of a source switch it is not sent until the switch is complete). If a message is not able to execute for some reason (i.e. invalid parameters, timeout, etc) a NAK is returned instead (Not-
Acknowledge). Note that requesting an acknowledgement serves no purpose when included in a request message, since the acknowledgement will be redundant to the actual reply from the projector. However, if requested, the “$” acknowledgement from the projector will follow the reply.
There are two types of acknowledgements:
• Simple Acknowledgements: Insert a “$” character just after the start code “(“. This will only return a ‘$’. This will only return a '$' on success, or a '^' on failure (NAK).
• Full Acknowledgements: Insert a “#” character just after the start code “(“. This will return the message sent, as a reply.
This is a quick way to confirm success with set messages, and is particularly useful with longdistance communication links or where the projectors and/or images are not visible from the controller. Acknowledgements can also be a type of flow control.
Checksums: For maximum message integrity, add a checksum character “&” just after the start code “(”. You must then also include the correct checksum total (0-255) just before the “)” end code. Make sure to add a space before the calculated checksum to separate it from the last data parameter:
The checksum is the low order byte of the sum of the ASCII values of all characters between the
“(“and the beginning of the checksum, but not including either. It does include the space in front of the checksum. Calculate the checksum for the above “set contrast to 64” command as follows:
CHECKSUM EXAMPLE = & + B + G + F + 2 + 2 + 2 + ‘space’
= 26h+42h +47h +46h +32h +32h +32h+20h
= 01ABh
= ABh when only the low byte is used
= 171
The projector collects all of the message bytes as defined in the first byte of the message, then creates its own checksum value for comparison with the checksum included in the controller’s message. If the values match, the message is considered to have been correctly received— otherwise the message is discarded.
i
‘h’ indicates a hex number. If a “request” message has a checksum so will the reply.
If using both “acknowledge” and “checksum”, either character can occur first.

69
Serial Communication
Access Specific Inputs
For several commands (for example, BGC, Base Gamma Curve) you can direct the message to particular input or image. To do this, include a subcode after the function code.
Example:
(BGC 1) Select 2.22 gamma curve for main input.
(BGC+MAIN 1) Select 2.22 gamma curve for main input.
It is only possible to set parameters from a specific input if that parameter is stored separately for each input. This function cannot be used for parameters that are specified for the projector as a whole such as projector address. The serial commands listed in the document specify which subcodes are applicable to each function.
Flow Control
i
Xon and Xoff controls apply to both directions of communication. The projector will not send more than three characters after it has received a 13h (Xoff) code.
Normally messages can be sent to the projector before processing of earlier messages is complete—the projector will just store messages in a buffer until ready to process. However, if a series of messages is sent it is possible that the projector may not be able to process them as fast as they arrive and the buffer will become full. If this happens, the projector will send the 13h (Xoff) code to instruct the controller (or any devices preparing to transmit) to cease transmission. At this point, the controller must respond immediately and send no more than ten extra characters or they may be lost (i.e., the projector is able to accommodate the receipt of up to ten more bytes after it sends 13h (Xoff). When the buffer is once again available, the projector will send a 11h (Xon) command to resume transmission.

Serial Communication
Network Operation
Up to 1000 projectors can be linked together in a chain with the ‘OUT’ port on one connected to the
‘IN’ port on the next. A controller connected to the ‘IN’ port on the first projector can control them all, either by broadcasting messages which have no address and are thus seen by all projectors, or by directing messages to specific projector addresses.
To work with a specific projector in a group, the projectors must first be assigned a unique I.D.— either a projector number or an Ethernet IP address. Insert the number of the target projector between the starting ‘(’ and the three-character ASCII code.
Message for Specific Projector
( Addr Code Data )
Each projector compares the message address with its own address and, if matching, responds and processes the message. If the address does not match, the message is passed on until it reaches the intended projector.
Although messages without an address are always broadcast, you can also broadcast by including the reply destination address 65535. This ensures that replies go to a specific controller address rather than being broadcast. The projector will also include its address.
Message for Projector from a Specific Controller
( Dest Src Code Data )
If you have more than one controller on a network, ensure to include both a source address and a destination address. With a single controller on the network, its address is never required. Place the source address between the destination address and three-character code, including a space before and after as shown. NOTE: Replies from a projector do not contain an address unless the request message includes both a destination address and a source address—i.e., a reply to a request having only a destination address will not have any source address.

Gamma Correction (GAM)
GAM
CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
Description
The Gamma Correction control is used to correct ambient conditions affecting the display. The Gamma control affects the shape of the curve determining what grey shades are displayed for a given amount of signal Input between minimum (black) and maximum (white). This is done by performing a linear transform from the user selected gamma setting. The normal point is 0, meaning the selected gamma table is used unaltered. If there is a lot of ambient light, the image can become washed out, making it difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas. Increasing the gamma correction setting can compensate for this by transforming the curve towards a gamma of 1.0. Decreasing the control shall transform the gamma towards a gamma of 3.0.

3D SYNC INPUT (TDI)
The 3D sync signal is generated by the 3D source to ensure left/right eye content is synchronized to the projector and to the user. The 3D Stereo cable has 2 inputs for right eye - left eye signals. This control specifies which of the 2 right-left eye input signals on the cable is active.
It is important to ensure that the correct 3D sync input is selected (either Input A or Input B) with each 3D signal source. If there is no external sync, then choose None and the sync will be generated internally. This allows the content to be displayed, however, there is a 50% chance that the content will be displayed with the left/right eyes swapped or inverted. This function is not used in Interleaved 3D mode as each eye gets a dedicated input and no 3D sync input is required.
Parameters

GPIO Port
This section explains how to use a GPIO link from the projector to external equipment, such as devices for 3D synchronizing. The GPIO port located on the input panel provides a flexible method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices to the projector. There are seven GPIO pins available on the nine pin D-Sub GPIO connector, which are configurable via RS232 commands. The other two pins are reserved for ground and power — see table below for pin identification. The serial cable required for connecting the external device to the projector’s GPIO connector, must be compatible with the external device.

GPIO Port
Configure GPIO
The GPIO connector can be configured to automate any number of events using the serial command code
GIO
. See General Purpose Input/Output (GIO) on page 84. Each pin is defined as either an
input or output depending on the desired outcome. Configure the pin as an input if you want the projector to respond to something the device does and as an output if you want the external device to respond to an action taken by the projector. For example, configure the pin as an output if you want the lighting in a room to automatically dim when the projector is powered On. By using the
GIO
command, you can also set the state of each output pin as high or low. By default, the state of each pin is high. The voltage applied to pins in the high state is +3.3 V. A low state (or value of 0) will be read on an input pin if the circuit attached to the pin is open. A high state (or value of 1) will be read on an input pin if the circuit attached to the pin is shorted to ground. This corresponds to a switch closing event.

Open (0 or L)
Closed (1 or H)
Example
Turn room lighting on when the projector is powered Off (assumes a control/automation unit is configured to power the lights On when pin 2 of its input goes high).
The strings in the commands refer to pins 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 in order from left to right.
