Section 2: Installation and Setup Using the FredFrame™ To hoist, stack and/or “fly” projectors using the optional FredFrame™ (PN 38-814007-XX), you must first remove the handles and properly secure each projection head within a FredFrame™. Then using appropriate rigging clamps (included with FredFrame™ or 113-102101-XX), you can raise and/or suspend the projector assembly. If desired, the lamp ballast can also be hoisted and flown from its integral rigging bars.
Section 2: Installation and Setup IMPORTANT! The following steps are necessary to ensure your safety and that the lens does not fall out. 4. Lock the lens assembly in place with the lens clamp DOWN. 5. For added security, tether the lens to the projector by wrapping it around either the handle or FredFrame™ if flown. This step is not required if the projector is floor-mounted.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Anamorphic Lens Installation (Optional) NOTE: The optional anamorphic lens mount is required for use of the 1.26x anamorphic lens, producing 2.39:1 “scope” images. However, the lens mount cover must be removed when installing the anamorphic lens mount and in order to the use the MALM. If the anamorphic lens is used, it is recommended that you add the lens and its mount before final leveling or making any adjustments (i.e. boresight, etc.).
Section 2: Installation and Setup See Section 5 Specifications. 1. Check lamp cradle (Anode end) location for your lamp. • For 4.5 or 6.0 kW lamps, the lamp cradle should use the holes farthest from the reflector (factory default). • For 2.0 or 3.0 kW lamps, use the holes closest to the reflector. 2. Install lamp. See Section 4.2 Replacing the Lamp and Filter in the Roadie HD+35K User Manual. NOTES: 1) Observe all warnings, and wear protective clothing and shielding.
Section 2: Installation and Setup Figure 2-12 Roadie HD+35K Input Panel NOTES: 1) See Section 5 Specifications for details regarding compatible inputs. 2) Use only high-quality shielded cables for all connections. Roadie HD+35K Setup Guide 020-100394-06 Rev.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.1 RGB Signals INPUT 1 consists of five BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The typical connection would be to an RGB source 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 and V syncs.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.2 YPbPr Signals (Component Video). Connect a YPbPr signal (component video) to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2, as shown. NOTES: 1) If, for some reason, the projector fails to recognize a YPbPr signal, specify this Color Space option within the Image Settings menu. See Section 3.6.3 Image Settings Menu in the Roadie HD+35K User Manual. 2) Do not connect digital component signals (known as YCbCr) to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.4 Dual SD/HD-SDI Christie's Dual SD/HD-SDI module is standard with this projector and factory-installed in the first option slot (labeled INPUT 5). Its loop-through capability enables incoming serial digital data (HD format) to be tiled across multiple screens, creating vast “mega resolution” displays. Alternatively, the multiple outputs can be overlapped for extra-bright displays, or simply distributed to additional projectors for multiple screens of the same image.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.5.5 Extra Video If you want to use an extra video source in addition to the video source(s) connected at INPUT 3 or INPUT 4 connect either a Composite or S-video source to INPUT 1 as shown. NOTES: 1) Do not simultaneously connect Composite and S-video to INPUT 1. 2) You can switch between video sources connected at INPUT 1 and INPUT 3 or INPUT 4. 2.5.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.6.1 Configuring the Ballast for Incoming AC AC power levels vary from region to region throughout the world, with 400 VAC common in some countries (such as those in Europe and Asia), and 200 VAC common elsewhere (such as in North America and Japan). To accommodate both possibilities, the ballast includes an internal Input Power Range Switch for toggling to the level of AC available at the installation site, i.e. either 200 or 400 VAC. The line cord plug must also match.
Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.7 Basic Image Adjustment NOTE: Assumes a single projector is powered up in its final location. This initial optical alignment procedure is the foundation for optimizing your displays, ensuring that images reflected from the DMDs are parallel to and well-centered with both the lens and screen. It should be completed before adjusting the lens boresight. Before you begin: Properly position the projector relative to the screen. See Section 2.
3 Operation This section describes how to use the controls and switches for basic projector operation once it is properly installed, aligned and configured by a Christie accredited service technician, as described in Section 2 Installation and Setup. 3.1 Projector Basics Primary Roadie HD+35K components are: Figure 3-1 Roadie HD+35K Projector and Components 3.1.1 Air Filter Intake air flows through the filter before circulating in the front compartment to cool main electronics.
Section 3: Operation For China models, the projector breaker on the projector head rear panel serves two purposes: 1. It is a breaker/power switch for the Roadie HD+35K projector head. 2. It protects against over-current conditions of 10A or more. The breakers/power switches must be ON in order to enable normal Roadie HD+35K system power-up and operation. If faulty or major excessive AC is detected, the breakers “trip” to OFF in order to prevent damage. Try switching the breakers/power switches ON again.
Section 3: Operation 3.1.4 Handles Mounted to the bottom of the projector is the handles assembly, which allows for transportation of the projector over a short distance. The handles can also be used to hoist a single projector only. For rigging purposes, the weight of the projector must not exceed 435 lbs. (197.3 kg) including the handles. NOTE: Any overhead suspension used MUST be suitably rated for the weight of the projector.
Section 3: Operation 3.2.2 Standard IR Remote and Transmission The Roadie HD+35K comes with a standard IR remote which controls the projector by way of wireless communication from a battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the standard IR remote the same way you would use any remote supplied with a TV or DVD player. When pressing any key, ensure that you direct the remote either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector.
Section 3: Operation 3.3 Power-up Procedure/Checklist NOTE: This is a typical manual power-up procedure. Some installations may include an automation system that controls projector start-up and lamp ignition in conjunction with other variables such as lighting, audio and other equipment. Do not attempt operation if the AC supply is not within the specified voltage range. The following steps provide a checklist of steps for the Power-up procedure: 1.
Section 3: Operation 3.4 Power-down Procedure NOTE: Describes a manual shutdown only. May be automated. 1. Do one of the following to turn the projection head and lamp off: • Press POWER twice quickly • Press and hold POWER • Press POWER + DOWN ARROW NOTE: Continue running all fans, including the heat extractor to cool the lamp for approximately 10 minutes. Make sure to wait for the fans to cool completely. 2. Turn the breakers/power switches OFF on both the projector head and ballast. 3.4.
