Section 2: Installation and Setup

2.3Connecting Sources

Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.10.

The upper right corner (INPUT 1) typically accepts an RGB signal from an external analog RGB source, or it can also be used for YPbPr signals or additional video sources. The DVI-I connector at INPUT 2 accepts digital or analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog composite video at INPUT 3 or S-videoat INPUT 4 from devices such as VCRs, laser disk players or DVD players.

Christie offers optional input modules that can be installed into the projector at INPUT 5 to connect other sources.

Figure 2.10. Input Panel

NOTES: 1) See Section 6, Specifications for details regarding compatible inputs. 2)

Use only high quality shielded cables only for all connections.

RGB signals (5 BNCs) f INPUT 1 consists of five BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The typical connection would be to an RGB source such as a PC, Mac, Sun, SGI and others. This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.

Connect the SYNC BNC input(s) first. Then connect the red, green and blue source outputs to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE BNCs on the INPUT 1 panel. If the source uses sync-on-green, only the red, green, and blue connections are required. If the source provides a composite sync output, connect it to the SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP. If the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect horizontal sync to the SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP and connect vertical sync to SYNC input labeled VERT. See Figure 2.11.

NOTE: Depending on your source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as a 15-pin "D" connector for some computer sources). Contact your dealer for details.
