Introduction

Roadster/Vista User’s Manual 1-1

The Vista and Roadster projectors are professional quality DMDprojectors that use

Digital Light Processing(DLP) technology from Texas Instruments to achieve

high-brightness multimedia and video projection. All models are compatible with

standard international video formats and can interface with IBM-compatible PC,

Macintoshcomputers and workstations. Vista models are ideal for mounting in

large audience venues in which there may be

high levels of ambient light, such as in

corporate boardrooms, auditoriums, and lecture

halls. The Roadster offers this same high level

of performance but with additional ruggedness

enabling frequent transport, changing

installations and easy stacking of multiple

projectors. This robust projector is well-suited

for use in outdoor stages and arenas. Vista and

Roadster features include:

◊Native resolution of 1024 x 768 (X models) or 1280 x 1024 (S models), scaleable

◊Brightness (ANSI lumens, ±10%):

INTRODUCTION

1-2 Roadster/Vista User’s Manual

Vista and Roadster accept data/graphics and video input signals for projection on to

front or rear flat screens. High brightness light is generated by an internal Xenon arc

lamp, then modulated by three DMD (digital micromirror device) panels that provide

digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each

panel is reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front

lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.

Included with Vista and Roadster is an infrared (IR) remote keypad, a power cord, a

9/64” hex socket ball driver, eyebolts (Roadster only) and a Roadster/Vista

User’s

Manual. Make sure that you received everything.

Installation & Setup

Roadster/Vista User’s Manual 2-1

This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to quickly

set it up for temporary use, follow the Quick Setup instructions below. For a more complete setup, follow the

instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections. This section assumes that the video decoder is installed.

NOTE: The lens is not installed for shipping. For instructions on how to install or replace a lens, refer to 4.5,

Replacing the Lens.

Follow these steps for quick setup of the projector in a standard floor mount position.

Position the Projector

Set the projector at the expected throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and

vertical position. See 2.3, Projector Position and Mounting and Appendix E. Make

sure that the projector is level from side-to-side (see 2.7, Leveling).

Connect a Source

Locate the main input panel at the rear of the projector. The lower left area, labeled

INPUT 1, accepts an RGB input via BNC connectors. The upper right area (assuming

a video decoder is installed) accepts a composite video at

INPUT 3 or S-video input at

INPUT 4. Connect your source to the appropriate panel connectors.

Connect the Line Cord to AC Power

Connect the projector’s line cord to the AC receptacle at the lower right rear corner of the

projector and to proper AC. Use the line cord provided with the projector (seeSection 5).

Model AC Power Required

X/S3 and X/S4 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, max. 11.5 amps @ 100V

X/S5 and X/S6 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, max. 8.5 amps @ 200V

X9/S9 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, max. 12 amps @ 200V

WARNING

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not

within the specified voltage and power range. See Section 5.

Turn the Projector ON

Using either the built-in or remote keypad, press Power* and hold for approximately 1

second to turn the projector on (or press Power* ON ). Let the projector warm up for

about five minutes. The POWER LED, located in the lower right corner of the rear

input panel, should glow a steady green.

to select

and display the image for the source you connected in Step 2. The display will resize

as needed, producing an image as large as possible for the type of source present.

Adjust Image (NON-MOTORIZED MODELS)

•ZOOM: With the input image displayed, rotate the

textured ring on the lens barrel to increase or decrease

the image size (this requires a zoom lens). If you don’t

have a zoom lens or you can’t adjust the image

enough, the projector may not be positioned at the

proper throw distance for your screen size. Power

down, unplug the projector and move it towards or

away from the screen. See 2.3, Projector Position and

Mounting for details.

•FOCUS: At the lens opening, turn the focus tab to

focus the image clearly.

•OFFSETS: Turn either or both of the knobs adjacent

to the lens if you need to align the image with your

screen—turn the top knob to raise or lower the image,

turn the bottom knob to shift the image left or right.

Re-check focus.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

Roadster/Vista User’s Manual 2-3

If you’ve just installed the lens, select “Calibrate Lens” before making any

adjustments (see Section 3 for details). Then, with the Lens Control menu displayed,

use the keypad as shown in Figure 2.1 to focus the image clearly and, if a zoom lens

is present, to increase or decrease image size. If desired, adjust horizontal and/or

vertical offsets to shift the lens and image location—ranges are shown in 2.3,

Projector Position and Mounting.

Press

to refine other display parameters, if necessary. See 3.5, Using Inputs and

Channels if you want to work with other source inputs or defined channels.

You may want to reduce initial setup time by starting with an “Auto Setup”. The

projector will automatically optimize a variety of display settings according to the

incoming source detected. You can then re-adjust these settings at any time, if

desired.

Although this projector delivers a high brightness quality output, final display quality

could be compromised if the projector is not properly installed. This subsection

discusses issues you should consider before proceeding with a final installation. Even

if you do not intend to use the projectors in a fixed and permanent installation, this

subsection will help you to better understand what you can do to enhance display

performance.

For any new installation, you will likely

have to safely lift or hoist the projector into

place. Keep in mind the following

guidelines for safety.

Lifting

The Roadster model includes a set of side

handles for convenient brief hand transport,

such as when a single projector is lifted or

carried over short distances by 2 people, or

for the addition of safety straps when hoisting (see Hoisting, below). Note that these

handles are not intended to support the entire weight of the projector for extended

periods of time, nor can a set of handles support the weight of more than a single

projector. In particular, never hoist or suspend the projector from these handles alone.

Vista models do not have handles.

WARNING

Do not use the side handles to suspend the projector.

Hoisting

Safely hoisting the projector into place requires hoisting hardware available in a

Christie Hoisting/Stacking Kit specially designed for the projector, as well as

appropriate nylon webbed safety straps and rigging equipment. Never hoist a

projector by its feet, handles or any other component (Figure 2.3).

IMPORTANT

It is recommended that you remove

the lens before hoisting a projector.

TO HOIST INVERTED

Roadsters:For one projector,

remove the feet, insert 4

eyebolts provided and attach a

hoisting/rigging frame that

will enable cables to remain

vertical at all times. Add

safety strapping at the side

handles before hoisting into

place. Never hoist or suspend

a projector if there is any slack

in cabling or straps, and keep

all cables in place for a

“flown” installation. NOTE:

Use straps and cabling with

load capacity adequate for

the projector weight. See

Section 5. For a stack of two projectors, remove the small chrome cover near each

corner of the lid, and install the threaded rods and heavy-duty eyebolt couplings

provided in the Christie Hoisting/Stacking Kit. NOTE: Follow all instructions

provided with the kit. Use a minimum of one safety strap per projector–i.e., if you are

hoisting a stack of 2 projectors, both projectors must have their own safety strap

attached. See Figure 2.5.

Figure 2.3. Do not hoist by handles or feet. Do not angle cables or straps.

TO HOIST NON-INVERTED Roadsters:You must use the hoisting hardware available

in a Christie Hoisting/Stacking Kit specially designed for the projector–follow the

instructions provide with the kit. Hoist with cabling and straps as described for

inverted Roadsters,above.

TO HOIST AN INVERTED or NON-INVERTED Vista:Securely wrap hoisting cabling and

safety straps around the whole projector. Attach to the proper Christie ceiling mount

only–never suspend or “fly” this model.

NOTE: Vista models cannot use the Christie Hoisting/Stacking Kit for hoisting into

place.

Stacking

See Figure 2.4. A maximum of 2 Roadster projectors can be safely secured together

with the Christie Hoisting/Stacking Kit hardware–follow all instructions provided in

the kit. For safety, one projector should never “rest” on another without the proper

Front Screen Installations

While there are two basic screen types, flat and curved, generally flat screens are

recommended for this projector. Flat screens offer a gain of about 1 with a viewing

angle just less than 180°. Incident light reflects equally in all directions so the

audience can see the display from various angles. Because of the low gain, flat

screens are most effective when ambient lighting is reduced, although this difference

may be negligible given the high brightness output from this projector.
