3.12 Remote Control of the Projector

As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a

controller such as a PC, via a web interface.

• Via ASCII Messaging: Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS-232 or RS-422 port

(recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between your controller and the valid projector

address. Valid ASCII codes and messages are documented in the Christie Serial Communications document

available at the Christie website.

• Via Web Interface: Connect the PC to the projector’s Ethernet port. In the web browser (i.e., Internet

Explorer), enter the IP address of the projector you wish to control. This will prompt a login screen. The

default login ids are: admin, service, and guest. Up to a maximum of 3 users can connect at any given time.

Two users can use the same account to log in. Each user will see a different set of tabs. The default

passwords can be edited by an administrator or a service user in the Admin tab. Guest users will not see this

tab. Basic operations of the projector can be controlled from this interface and the Virtual OSD can be

accessed from here.

3.13 Alarm Conditions

An alarm condition consists of a

message that is on the LCD display

located beside the built-in keypad.

There are two types of alarm conditions:

• Warning Alarm

• Critical Alarm

A warning alarm is shown when an error or a non-optimal condition has occurred. That will generally not

prevent the projector from operating. An example is when a temperature is slightly elevated.

A critical alarm is shown when a condition occurs that could prevent the projector from operating and could

cause damage to the projector. This may cause the projector to shut down automatically. An example would be

a fan not running.

Both alarm types display:

• The item of alarm

• The status of the item

The item of the alarm can be either physical, i.e. fan or sensor, or the alarm can be a software issue, i.e. lamp

driver. The LCD displays the status of the item and its units; if applicable. If the status of the item is out of

normal range an alarm is created. When the status of the item is within normal range the alarm will clear.

NOTES: 1) When an alarm is displayed in the LCD display, the built-in keypad is disabled. To confirm the

alarm, press the OK soft key to enable the built-in keypad. 2) The alarm condition can also be viewed using the

remote in the read only Status menu.
