The default login provides access to security settings, where you can define other
users with the same or fewer rights. Use “unlimited” rights for most applications. For
all logins, the

Service

menu is still protected with its own password.

NOTES: 1)

Any proxy server settings that interfere with this type of link should be

disabled for using ChristieNET. Disable through Internet Explorer’s < Tools>
<Internet Options> <Connections> <LAN Settings>.

Your PC must be Java-

enabled to v1.4.2 or higher to run ChristieNET.

Certain controls provided through

ChristieNET are non-functional for use with the

This section describes how to work with multiple

Cine-IPM 2Ks

so that adjacent

images are well-matched and have edges blended to form a seamless non-cinema
display. References to “projector” in this section assume a

Cine-IPM 2K

connected.

NOTES: 1)

Connection of multiple units is described in

2.6, Linking Multiple Cine-

IPM 2Ks.

Advanced Controls

Assumes that each Cine-IPM 2K is connected to a CP2000.

In a multiple-image wall, you will likely want to precisely match the hue and intensity of
colors from image-to-image so that your full wall is as uniform as possible. This
matching is typically done in conjunction with brightness uniformity and edge
blending.

Preliminary Calibration

As a final part of the manufacturing process, all primary colors in the

Cine-IPM 2K

are precisely set to pre-established values to help ensure that overall color
performance from your display device is optimized and is as accurate as possible
(refer back to Figure 3.20). Upon installation at a site, however, lighting and other
environmental factors may slightly change how these colors appear on each screen.
While the change is negligible in most cases, you may prefer to recover the originally
intended color performance before trying to match colors from several

CP2000s

The recommended first step in achieving such consistency is to use a color meter to
measure the native primary colors—red, green, blue, and white—as they appear at
the screen and record these as

Color Primary Settings

in the

Service

menu (password-

protected) for each

Cine-IPM 2K

. On the basis of these new values, which are stored

in memory, each unit will then automatically calculate any necessary corrections to
reproduce the original factory-set colors under the current environmental conditions.
This essentially calibrates the

Cine-IPM 2K

to its surroundings, compensating for

factors such as screen type, lamp and/or ambient lighting that can alter the final color
characteristics on-screen, and will improve color accuracy and consistency in a group
of projectors. It ensures a good starting point for further customizing and matching.

To return to the factory-set color primaries, such as when the equipment is moved to
different site, you must access the

Service

menu (password-protected). Select the

Reset to Factory Defaults?

option in the

Color Primaries

submenu. Then repeat the

calibration process describe above, if desired, and continue with matching of colors.

Color Adjustment Procedure

NOTE:

May interact with and affect other color adjustments available in the CP2000.
