2.5.1 RGB Signals 
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, DEC, Sun, SGI and others. 
This projector supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: 
sync-on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs. 
NOTE: Depending on your source, you may need a custom 
adapter cable with BNC connectors at the...

2.5.2 YPbPr Signals (Component Video).
Connect a YPbPr signal (component video) to INPUT 1 or 
INPUT 2 as shown in Figure 2-29
.
NOTES: 1) If, for some reason, the projector fails to 
recognize a YPbPr signal, specify this Color Space 
option within the Image Settings menu. Refer to 
Section 3.6.3 Image Settings Menu. 2) Do not 
connect digital
 component signals (known as 
YCbCr) to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2. Use...

2.5.4 Dual SD/HD-SDI
Christies Dual SD/HD-SDI module is standard with 
this projector and factory-installed in the first option 
slot (labeled INPUT 5). Its loop-through capability 
enables incoming serial digital data (HD format) to 
be tiled across multiple screens, creating vast mega 
resolution displays. Alternatively, the multiple 
outputs can be overlapped for extra-bright displays, 
or simply...

If you want to use an extra video source in 
addition to the video source(s) connected at 
INPUT 3 or
 INPUT 4 connect either a 
Composite or S-video source to
 INPUT 1 as 
shown. 
NOTES: 1) Do not simultaneously connect 
Composite and S-video to INPUT 1. 
2) 
You can switch between video sources 
connected at INPUT 1 and INPUT 3 or 
INPUT 4.

2.6.1 Standard IR Remotes
As desired, direct the projectors standard IR remote towards the display screen or the projectors IR sensors. 
Alternatively, connect a wired version of the remote to either the three-pin XLR connector rear (standard) or 
the 3.5mm phono jack on the side of the projector, depending on which type of cable you are using with this 
remote. 
NOTE:Response to a wired remote must also be...

RS-232 Serial Communications
From most computers, connect a standard RS-232 
serial communication cable between the computer, and 
the projector serial port labeled RS232 IN. This 9-pin 
connector is located on the side Input panel of the 
projector. Then set the projectors baud rate to match 
that of the computer.
Changing the baud rate is done in the projectors

 Figure 2-34  Connecting Serial Communications via RS-422
There are two RS-422 ports on the projector. One is a 6-pin XLR port (rear of projector) and the other is a 9-
pin D-connector (side of projector). Use any of these ports for communications to and from an RS-422-
compatible controller, and/or as in-and-out ports for networking multiple projectors together on a serial 
network (note there is no RS-422...

Ethernet Communications
To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other 
equipment such as controllers and other projectors, connect 
standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your Ethernet controller (or 
hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector. 
NOTE: An Ethernet crossover cable is required when connecting 
directly to a PC only. 
Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the...

2.7.1 Serial Links
RS-232 Network
To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an RS-232 interface, first set all projectors to 
the same baud rate as the controller, then chain the projectors together by connecting the RS232 OUT 
connector of the first projector (already connected to the computer/controller) to the RS232 IN connector of 
the next projector in the chain. Continue...

Section 2: Installation and  Setup 
NOTES: 1)You can only connect up to a maximum of 32 projectors. 2) Figure 2-37 depicts a typical input/output 
configuration, however, since RS-422 ports are bi-directional, other various combinations are possible.
You can also connect by RS-232 or RS-422 (see Figure 2-38), in which case either type of serial 
communication must also reach the other type of port. You must enable this joining of network ports...
