• 10-bit image processor electronics with modular design
• All video formats can be resized to full screen either horizontally or vertically while maintaining
aspect ratio.
• The projector can be operated using any of the following:
• The built-in keypad, the infrared (IR) remote keypad, a wired remote keypad, or a PC/
device using serial communications (Ethernet or RS232)
• A web page using Ethernet, or from a PC or device using a wireless USB dongle
How the projector works
The Inspire Series projector accepts a variety of input signals for a wide range of commercial
projection applications.
Designed with blue solid-state illumination light sources and phosphor technology, the red, green
and blue color elements are modulated by one Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) panel responding
to incoming data streams of digitized red, green, and blue color information. As these digital
streams flow from the source, light from the responding on pixels of the DMD panel is reflected,
converged, and then projected to the screen through projection lenses, where all pixel reflections
are superimposed in sharp full-color images.

Positioning the display
When you select a position for the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the
location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your
equipment. Follow these general guidelines:
• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector (with the
standard lens) must be at least 1.33 m (4.3 feet) from the projection screen.
• Position the projector to the required distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of
the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the
projected image.
• Determine the lens throw ratio.
For more information detailing the throw ratio for each lens, refer to the Inspire Series Lens
Throw Ratios Technical Reference (P/N: 020-103497-XX).
• 360 degree free orientation operation
Installing the ceiling mount
The projector can be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using a specially designed ceiling
mount fixture (Christie One Mount P/N: 108-506102-XX). For more information, contact your dealer.
1. To prevent damage to your projector, use the Christie-recommended ceiling mount.
When installing the projector in portrait orientation, Christie recommends the built in keypad and
power inputs face upwards. This allows access to the built in keypad and power connections during
operation.
Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.
• When not mounted properly, the projector may fall.
• Keep at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) gap between the ceiling mount and the bottom intake vents of the projector.
• Avoid installing the projector near a heat source.
Caution! If not avoided, the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
• The warranty on this projector does not cover damage caused by the use of a non-recommended
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.
• Refer to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided in the kit
(such as Christie One Mount, P/N: 108-506102-XX).
• Damage resulting from incorrect installation voids the warranty.

2. To use a third party ceiling mount kit, ensure the screws used to attach a mount to the
projector meet the following specifications:
• Screw type: 35 mm for Christie One Mount (P/N: 108-506102-XX)
Adjusting the projected image
Adjust the projected image’s height and horizontal tilt for better viewing.
Adjusting the height of the projector
The projector is equipped with elevator feet for adjusting the image height.
1. Locate the adjustable foot you want to modify on the bottom of the projector.
2. Rotate the adjustable ring clockwise to raise the projector or counter clockwise to lower it.
For stacking application, the elevator feet of the upper projector must be adjusted to increase the
height of this projector to avoid the interference between two projectors. For more information on
stacking projectors, refer to Stacking application on page 21.
