minimum of 10 minutes. This additional time is 
required to allow the projector lamp to achieve 
operating temperature and stabilize.

Note: 

Usable Lamp life will be diminished by 

unnecessarily turning the Lamp On and then Off. Also, 
once 

Lamp ON

 is selected the lamp should be allowed 

to operate for some minutes to allow the lamp to come 
completely to operating temperature before turning it 
off.

DO NOT REMOVE AC MAINS POWER TO SHUT 
DOWN THE SYSTEM AS COOLING WILL BE LOST 
TO THE PROJECTOR AND LAMP.

Douse the Projector

The DOUSER control function in the PROJECTOR 
CONTROL screen serves the same purpose as the 
“douser” on the film projector. In fact it works in much the 
same way by placing a opaque blade in the output light 
path.

When you set the projector DOUSER to ON the 
auditorium screen goes dark. However, this only applies to 
the image portion of the presentation. The audio portion of 
the presentation continues and must be muted using the 
Muting control on the Media Block screen.

• Douser ON (Closed)

The 

DOUSER

 control is an alternate action button 

whose current state is indicated by the status label and 
a status indicator in the 

OFF/ON

 button. When the 

control’s status indicator is out (label shows OFF) the 
the douser is open and the current presentation (image) 
appears on the auditorium screen. 

To douse the projector output, tap 

Menu

, tap 

Projector Control

 and then, in the DOUSER block, 

tap the alternate action 

OFF

/ON button. The projector 

output is doused, the auditorium screen goes dark and 
the control button label changes to ON and its status 

indicator is lit (see inset in illustration). The Projector 
Lamp remain energized ON).

• Douser OFF (Open)

The projector Douser is activated by an alternate 
action control button whose current state is indicated 
by the status indicator located in the 

ON/OFF

 button. 

When the indicator is illuminated (label shows ON) 
the projector DOUSER is closed and the auditorium 
screen is dark.

To restore the projector output (open the “douser”), tap 

Menu

, tap 

Projector Control

 and then, in the 

DOUSER block, tap the alternate action 

ON

/OFF 

button. The projector output is restored, the auditorium 
screen is illuminated, the control button label changes 
to OFF and the button status indicator is dark.

Change Projector Function

Changing the Current FUNCTION selection (F1 to F20) is 
is done using Change FUNCTION on the PROJECTOR 
CONTROL screen. Functions can be used to recall stored 
settings which effect the projector setup. Each 
FUNCTION configuration is set using the SRX 
Controller

 application and is set to optimize the on-screen 

presentation. In addition, a limited number of settings 
associated with a specific FUNCTION can be configured 
using the 

FUNCTION SETUP

 screen

The configurations are stored and available on a pop-up 
accessed from the Projector Control screen. These are 
single button FUNCTION selections. In addition, a 
FUNCTION can be associated with a SPL or CPL using 
the SMS Controller application. In this way the same 
configuration is recalled whenever the associated Content 
Element is presented.

DOUSER

1.The SRX Controller exercises direct control over 
the projector and therefore should not be used at the 
same time the Projectionist Terminal or SMS Control-
ler is in operation.
