Installation and Setup
Use the following instructions as a guideline only. Before installing, you must fully understand all site
requirements and characteristics.
The configuration of an array will vary on the installation; therefore, the following instructions are to
be used as a guideline only. Before installing, it is important to fully understand all site requirements
and characteristics. This document outlines installations which are no higher than five rows and no
wider than 10 columns.
For installations exceeding these specifications, see Christie MicroTiles Specification and Application
Guide (P/N: 020-100334-xx) .
Installation guidelines
When designing an array, keep these guidelines in mind.
•
When constructing any size array always complete the first row and ensure it is flat before
continuing with the next row. Do not attempt to construct the array column by column.
•
Power up each tile to ensure it is functioning. Check the LED on the back of the tile. A green
light indicates power is enabled.
•
Do not remove the lens guard from the MicroTiles or dust cap from the lens until the canvas
construction is complete.
Cable and ECU layout and design
Before an array is constructed, it is important to plan the design layout of the canvas to make sure
that ECU placement and the cabling layout supports the overall canvas design objectives.
MicroTiles offers considerable flexibility in terms of the number of media sources that can be displayed
and the overall resolution. For more information, see the Christie MicroTiles Specification and
Application Guide (P/N: 020-100334-xx).
Color and brightness matching, as well as certain other functions, may be performed across an entire
canvas.
Required tools and hardware
For every MicroTiles system you will need display units, screens (one per display unit), External
Control Units (ECUs), a User Kit, a Y-cord Kit, and line cords.
This combination provides some of the tools and hardware shown in the illustration below.
Notice. If not avoided, the following could result in property damage.
•
The use of Y-cords may be prohibited due to local or national regulations. An alternative method
of power distribution may be required. This may include Japan, China, Korea and others.
