[ 8 ] ChristieNETTM web interface

ChristieNETTM enables users to access all projector menus and controls through a web interface without disrupting the live presentation. This allows for real-time adjustments and monitoring of each projector on the network – regardless of geographic location.

[ 8 ] Automatic shut-off

This feature lowers the cost of ownership by reducing power consumption and extending lamp life when the projector is not in use. In this mode, if a signal is not detected, the projector will slowly dim the lamps then shut off one lamp, and finally

if there is still no signal, the system will go into standby mode. If a signal is detected during the ramp-down phase the unit will revert back to its full power, dual lamp mode.

[ 8 ] Input cards

In total, there are four input card slots available. Each projector is equipped with a standard set of input cards.

Dual sd/hd – sdi input card

The Dual SD/HD-SDI input card accepts both standard- definition (SD) and high- definition (HD) serial-digital- interface (SDI) signals, and enables the user to connect

two of either types of signal. Both single-link HD and dual-link HD signals are accepted. This card also has two SD/HD-SDI outputs to enable “loop-through” for its respective input.

Analog input card

The Analog input card accepts an analog video signal input over a 5 BNC connector interface. It can accept RGBH&V signals over 5 connectors, as well

as component YPbPr signals on the RGB inputs.

Dual link dvi input card

The Dual link DVI input card has a 15-pin VGA connector for analog signals and a DVI-I connector which can support a single- or dual-link DVI HDCP video signal. The card can simultaneously support a digital signal on the DVI input and an analog signal on the VGA port.

DMX512 interface card

This interface card supports the DMX512 communication standard through two 5-pin XLR connectors.

Video decoder input card

The Video decoder input card accepts various types of standard definition (SD) video, including CVBS (composite video), S-video, and component. It accepts NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.4,

PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M or SECAM formats. This card has two mini-DIN connectors (for S-video signals) and four BNC connectors that can be grouped to allow combinations of CVBS, S-Video, YPrPb or RGB video sources.

Twin HDMITM input card

The Twin HDMI input card accepts two HDMI inputs and provides 12-bit deep color handling on the input. Additionally, advanced loop-through allows any

input on any input card to be looped through to the two HDMI outputs on the card.

LCD keypad

This easy-to-use

LCD keypad includes:

Contextual menus provide a fully-featured, intuitive interface; removing the need for a cluttered keypad

Large, four line LCD display

Adjustable brightness and timed LCD off mode

Intuitive keypad design that lights up when features are active – making it user friendly

Active keys are color-coded amber to indicate that selections will result in changes visible to the audience.

Dual-frequency receiver

The dual-frequency (38 kHz and 455 kHz) receiver ensure the projector receives signals at increased distances between the remote and projector, and reduces the affect of interference from lighting.
