2 Installation & Setup This section explains how to install, connect and optimize the projector for delivery of superior image quality. NOTE: The illustrations provided are to enhance the understanding of the written material. They are graphical representations only and may not represent your exact projector model. 2.1 Projector Installation The following set of instructions explain how to install, connect and optimize the projector for smooth operation.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 2 - (Optional) Install Projector on Rack Stand Use of the projector’s safety strap is MANDATORY to prevent the projector from tipping. Secure the strap between the projector and the optional rack-mount or any other surface it is mounted to. An optional rack stand (P/N 108-282101-01 with panels or P/N 108-272101-01 without panels) and hold down clamp (P/N 116-100101-01) are available for use with the projector.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 4 - (Optional) Mount the Control Display Panel The projector is shipped with the Control Display Panel (CDP) fully assembled and installed to the back panel. For convenience, the display angle of the CDP can easily be modified for improved viewing or it can be removed and permanently mounted in another location within the projection room. NOTE: The CDP is not recommended for use as a handheld remote.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 5 - Connect Exhaust Ducting The projector emits a constant stream of warm exhaust air, which must be vented to the outside of the building. Connect pre-installed outside-venting ductwork via the 8” inside diameter fireproof ducting material attached to the projector’s top exit port. Confirm that 1) there are no obstructions or ‘kinks” within the ducting, 2) all air intake areas of the projector are clear and exposed, 3) the vane switch at the exit duct is moving freely.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 6 - Install Lens(es) The lens seals the projector preventing contaminants from entering the area of the main front electronics. It is important a projector never be operated without a lens installed. For Primary Zoom Lens Installation: 1. Ensure the projector’s rear safety strap is in place. 2. Turn the lens clamp to the OPEN position. See Figure 2-7. 3. Orient your high-contrast lens with its notches at the top.
Section 2: Installation & Setup For CDXL-20 lamps: Move the lamp cradle as far forward as possible (position closest to igniter). For CDXL-30 and CDXL-30SD lamps: Move the lamp cradle to the rear position, which is approximately 1” closer to the reflector. For CDXL-30SD lamps only, you must use the extension nut provided (at the cathode end) to ensure correct placement. NOTE: Retain the extension nut for future lamp replacements since this part is not part of a new lamp assembly. 3. Install the lamp.
Section 2: Installation & Setup Installing a Permanent Connection Follow these guidelines: A 30-32A double pole, UL listed wall circuit breaker is required. It must be part of the building installation and easily accessible. The distance between the wall circuit breaker and the projector must not exceed 20m using 10AWG cables OR 30 metres using 8AWG cables.
Section 2: Installation & Setup Installing a Pluggable Type B Connection There must be easy access to the current protection device or breaker in the building. Follow these guidelines: Use 10AWG or 8AWG wiring: the distance between the wall circuit breaker and the projector must not exceed 20 metres using 10AWG cables or 30 metres using 8AWG cables. The socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Section 2: Installation & Setup STEP 9 - Connect Sources and Initial Power Up Once the lamp is installed, the projector is essentially ready for operation. Although an image is not required at this time, it is recommended external cinema servers and sources be connected. See Section 2.2 Connecting Sources. Before igniting the lamp for the first time, it is essential that you do the following to ensure successful communication with the projector: 1. Assign the projector with a unique IP address.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.2 Connecting Sources Cinema servers, such as digital media storage devices or non-cinema sources such as PCs reside outside the projector and are connected to one of the ports on the Projector Control Panel (PCM) located on the right-hand side of the projector. These communication ports are accessible by first removing the side access panel.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.2.1 Connecting for Communications Management Ethernet RS232 B Service DVI-D A DVI-D B 292 A 292 B Many communications with the projector are initiated on the CDP controller, which is mounted at the rear of the projector. Depending on the installation, you may also need certain other serial and/or Ethernet links to the CP2000-ZX, such as from a server or PC functioning as a controller, or from an existing on-site network including other equipment.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.3 Re-wiring for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Ensure power is disconnected before moving side panel. If the unit is to be configured for UPS backup of the Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS) (and subsequently the electronics), rewiring is required. 1. Remove the plastic cover over the AC relay by pinching the top and bottom of the cover and removing it. 2.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 8. Ensure the ground connection from the UPS input to the ground stud is secure. 9. Re-attach the side panel and plug an appropriate UPS that meets the required input specifications into the IEC connector on the auxiliary panel. Refer to Section 6: Specifications in the CP2000-ZX User Manual (020-100006-xx). 10. Re-connect main power, turn on the UPS power and ensure that the projector operates normally. 2.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.5 Maximizing Light Output (Using the CDP) To ensure optimal operation and peak screen brightness, activate LampLOC™ to adjust the lamp position whenever a new lamp is installed in the projector. Once LampLOC™ adjustment is complete, the lamp will be well-centered and distanced correctly from the remainder of the illumination system.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.5.1 Calibrating Screen Brightness (fL) (Using the Web User Interface) In order to determine screen brightness in footlamberts (fL), you must measure screen brightness at both extremes of lamp power (minimum and maximum) for a given lamp type, and record these two readings in Admin: Lamp menu. See Figure 2-21.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.6.1 Basic Optical Alignment Procedure 1. Display a good test pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as the “framing” test pattern showing the crosshair centered across the image. 2. Course focus: Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens only. Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. 3.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.7.1 Adjust Offset Project an image with the primary lens only. The optional auxiliary lens mount, if present, can be mounted but swung aside. Adjust horizontal and vertical offset as necessary to display a square image on screen with minimal projector aiming error. Always adjust offset before boresight. NOTE: For best optical performance, make sure to minimize keystone error by using offset more than aiming to center the image in off axis installations. 2.7.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 3. Adjust horizontal boresight bolt as necessary to direct or “aim” the lens toward the side of the image which focused too close to the lens. When both sides appear equally blurry, re-focus on the left side of the screen. 4. Adjust horizontal offset to re-center the image on the screen. 5. Repeat Step 4 and 5 until both sides of the image are well focused. 6. Adjust the Hold screw to lock adjustments in place. Check boresight again.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.7.3 Add Anamorphic Lens 1. Install the auxiliary Lens Mount according to instructions provided in the kit (P/N 108-111101-02, P/N 108-111102-xx). Make sure to optimize your primary lens first for best optical alignment, offset and boresight. 2. Image geometry distortion: Loosen the holding clamp on the auxiliary lens mount. Adjust rotation of anamorphic lens so the image remains perfectly rectangular with anamorphic in and out. 3.
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.8.2 Fold Mirror Adjustment If a corner or edge of the image is missing (after prime lens offset is ruled out), this may indicate the fold mirror has become misaligned with the rest of the optical system, resulting in cropping of data. To correct this issue, use the two adjustment screws that are accessible through the base of the projector. See Figure 2-29. • To raise or lower the image, adjust the screw closest to the operator’s side (right side, when facing screen).
Section 2: Installation & Setup 2.9.3 Projector Configuration Files (PCFs) Numerous settings collected into a single Projector Configuration File (PCF) further control processing variables for optimized display of specific source material. Each PCF file, typically created in DCP Librarian, pre-defines color space, target color gamut, source aspect ratio (resolution), and gamma settings for a cinema or non-cinema source.
3 Basic Operation This projector is designed with safe and reliable operation in mind. However safe operation is not assured by design alone; installers, service technicians, trained operators and all other users must maintain a safe operating environment at all times. Read through this section in its entirety and understand all warnings and precautions before attempting to operate the projector.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3.1.3 AC / Power Precautions Installation of this projector requires that an electrician hard-wire (permanent-wire) a single-phase feed from the projector to the AC supply at the building site. Operate the projector at the specified voltage. Warnings! 1) Do not attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage range. 2) This product does not include a built in AC breaker. A 30-32A double pole, UL listed wall circuit breaker is required.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3.2 Maintaining Proper Cooling The CP2000-ZX high-intensity lamp and electronics rely on a variety of cooling components to reduce internal operating temperatures. Regular checking and maintenance of the entire cooling system is critical to prevent overheating and sudden projector failure, and helps to ensure reliable operation of all projector components over time. 3.2.1 Ventilation Vents and louvers in the projector covers provide ventilation, both for intake and exhaust.
Section 3: Basic Operation TIP: In the event coolant drips on any electronics or other nearby components, blot the affected area using dust-free optical grade tissue. It is recommended you blot a few times, discard the tissue and use a new tissue to blot the area again. Keep repeating this cycle until the coolant is cleaned up. Then lightly moisten a new tissue with de-ionized water, blot the area again. Use a clean, dry tissue to dry the area off.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3.3.1 Powering Down the Projector 1. On the CDP, press LAMP OFF. NOTE: The projector is still in “power on” mode, which allows for fast lamp on response, if needed. 2. On the CDP, press POWER OFF. The lamp will power OFF first and then the projector automatically enters a cool down mode where the fans and electronics stay on for 15 minutes. After this cool down period, the projector enters standby mode and all fans and most electronics will power down. 3.
Section 3: Basic Operation Guidelines for Using the CDP • Press keys one-at-a time; there are no simultaneous key combinations required or allowed. • Pause briefly between key presses to allow the projector to respond to the previous action. • Hold the navigation keys for continuous adjustment or movement in one direction. • If no key is pressed within 5 minutes while in a menu, the system will return to the Main menu. If editing text or entering a numerical value, the entry will also be lost.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3.5 Using the Web User Interface In addition to using the CDP, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a controller such as a PC, via 1) a web user interface on an Ethernet network or 2) via serial API over the ETHERNET MANAGEMENT port. If you are on a segregated network (isolated network), performance will greatly be optimized if you use HTTP instead of HTTPS (SSL) when connecting your web browser to the projector to display the web user interface.

Section 3: Basic Operation 3.6 Working with 3D A single projector can display 3D images as described below. Such images require a 3D-capable source as well as additional hardware and cabling to correctly display and interpret in a typical stereo 3D viewing environment.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3.6.2 Hardware Setup Refer to the illustrations provided for the general hardware configuration supported. Use either an IR emitter to control gating in active glasses, a polarizing cell and Z-screen with passive glasses or filter wheel with passive glasses. Figure 3-3 3D Hardware Setup 3.6.3 3D Instructions NOTES: 1) Assume a full 2048 x 1080 display and 3D enabled in the Custom: 3D Control menu.
Section 3: Basic Operation 3. DEFINE THE 3D SYNC INPUT MODE: For dual inputs, • Set 3D Sync Input Mode to Active Port: A/B = L/R or vise versa This setting tells the rest of your system that incoming 3D stereo sync information is included with the two L/R image data inputs rather than routed separately to the GPIO port. For future single-input 3D sources where the server supplies a separate 3D stereo sync to the projector’s GPIO port instead, set Sync Input according to the input # used (i.e.
