Roadster/Mirage S+ User’s Manual
In rear screen applications (Figure 2.23) where space
behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used
to fold the optical path. The position of the projector
and mirror must be accurately set. Consult your
dealer or Christie for details.
Sources connect to the
Input Panel
located on the rear of the projector. As shown in
Figure 2.24, 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. Just to the left of the BNCs, the DVI-I connector (
INPUT 2
) accepts
digital or analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog
composite video
at
INPUT 3
, or
S-video
at
INPUT 4
from devices such as VCRs, laser disk players, or
DVD players. At
INPUT 5
(below
INPUT 1),
connect serial digital YCbCr (4:2:2) or
compatible SMPTE signals (note this module can be moved to
INPUT 6
if desired).
There are also several optional interfaces available for connecting other sources—
these interfaces slide into the remaining unused option slot, and can be done while
the projector is running.
NOTES:
1)
See
Section 6, Specifications
for details regarding compatible inputs.
2)
Use high quality shielded cables only for all connections.
3)
The
Dual SD/HD-SDI
module shown is standard on the Roadster models, optional for the Mirage S+ series.
Figure 2.24. Input Panel
INPUT 1
consists of 5 BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of RGB sources 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 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.
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
