The projection system uses HIGH PRESSURE XENON
SHORT-ARC LAMPS as a light source. These lamps
have a high internal pressure. Depending upon the lamp,
the internal pressure can exceed 10 ATM or 147 PSI, even
when not in operation. In addition, Xenon arc lamps can
burst when not in operation causing serious injuries! It is
critical to follow the lamp manufacturer’s safety
instructions when handling Xenon arc lamps. Always wear
eye/face and body protection when handling Xenon arc
lamps.
Large XENON short-arc lamps are shipped inside special
protective shields which will contain the envelope
fragments if the lamp is dropped and explodes. The shield
is removed once the lamp is installed in the lamp housing.
When the lamp reaches the end of its useful life, the
protective shield is put back on the lamp, and the spent
lamp is then removed from the equipment and disposed of.
Note: The risk of explosion increases as the lamp is used.
For this reason, it is important to observe the
manufacturer's recommended operating life limits.
Refer to the handling and disposal instructions for the
XENON ARC LAMPS which were provided by the
manufacturer and included with the lamp.
Ultraviolet Radiation
All XENON short-arc lamps generate significant amounts
of ultraviolet radiation while in operation. Xenon has
strong spectral lines in the UV bands, and these readily
pass through the fused quartz lamp envelope. Projector
systems should always be operated with all covers closed
even when testing the system and content security is not an
issue.
The SRX Controller application exercises direct control
over the projector via the projector’s serial control port.
Operations using the SRX Controller can be in conflict
with operations using the Projectionist Terminal or the
SMS Controller. The SRX Controller application should
not be used at the same time the Projectionist Terminal or
SMS Controller is in operation. Once changes using the
SRX Controller are completed, REFRESH the Projector
Data (Maintenance screen) to the SMS Server stored data.

Media Block
Chapter 1 User Guide - R110
Media Block
The SMS Media Block is the combined Media Block unit
and any attached storage (RAID) devices. This is generally
referred to as the Media Block. Each Show Playlist is an
assemblage, in presentation sequence, of one or more
Composition Playlist which must be present in the Media
Block/Storage.
The Media Block is the point where playout of the CPL is
managed, the CPL associated files are stored, when
necessary the files are decrypted and, the Content
Elements are decoded and sent to the Projector. Through
the use of “Keys” contained in the Key Delivery Message
(KDM), the Media Block decrypts CPLs as necessary for
presentation as part of a Show Playlist (SPL).
Access Media Block
Controls for Media Block
functions and information
about CPL resident in the
Media Block are available
through the MEDIA
BLOCK CONTROL
pane. To access the Media
Block Control pane, tap
Menu and then tap Media
Block. The MEDIA
BLOCK CONTROL pane
appears.
From the MEDIA
BLOCK CONTROL pane
you can execute a
RESTART of the Media
Block, MUTE the audio
output from the CPL, and
determine how much of
the RAID storage space allocated to DCPs has been used.
Restart Media Block
The Media Block is the central storage unit for all digital
components that make up the screen presentation.
• RESTART
To restart the Media Block, tap Menu and then tap
Media Block. The MEDIA BLOCK CONTROL pane
appears. Tap RESTART. You will be prompted to
confirm the action.
Caution: The RESTART operation will take
approximately 10 minutes during which time the
system is not available for presentation of content.
RESTART of the Media Block provides a controlled
start up process during which time the system verifies
the content of the SMS RAID.
Muting (Audio)
Content Elements include the audio component of the
presentation. However, the audio component exists as one
or more separate data files within the DCP. During
presentation the processing of the Audio Component
occurs in the Media Block. As a result, Muting of the
Audio Component is under control of the Media Block
(“muting” or dousing of the picture occurs in the
Projector).
• Muting (ON/OFF)
To silence the audio output from the Media Block, tap
Menu, tap Media Block,and then tap the Muting
OFF button. This is an alternate action button that
indicates what action will be taken when activated.
•OFF — Audio Output will Mute when tapped.
•ON — Audio Output will un-Mute when tapped.
DCP Storage Capacity
The amount of storage space available on the RAID for
DCPs is set using the SMS Controller application. The
DCP Used Space indicator provides you with a graphic
indication of how much of the allocated space has been
used as a percentage of the space allocated. A numeric
value is also shown.
Available Shows
Show Playlists must be composed in a separate
application, e.g., The SMS Controller. Once created, they
are saved in the SMS Server and can be scheduled as

the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen and can be used by
you to recall stored settings which effect the projector
setup. Each FUNCTION is configured using the SRX
Controller application and is set to optimize the on-screen
presentation. In addition, a limited number of settings
associated with a specific FUNCTION and be configured
using the FUNCTION SETUP screen
The configurations are stored and available on the
Projectionist Terminal as single button FUNCTION
selections. In addition, a FUNCTION can be associated
with a SPL or CPL using the SMS Controller application.

Function Setup
Just as in film projection, there are a number of issues
related to the configuration of the Digital Cinema projector
for the content being presented. One easily called to mind
in film is the aperture plate which is selected based on the
image format. Because the Digital Cinema system can
present content of varying formats the settings are much
more complex. The majority of these are set using the SRX
Controller1application and stored in the FUNCTIONs (F1
through F7). However, some settings may require
adjustment of a more immediate nature. These are
available to you on the FUNCTION SET-UP screen.
Function Setup Controls
are available on the
FUNCTION SETUP
pane. To access the
Function Setup pane, tap
Menu and then tap
Function Setup. The
FUNCTION SET-UP
pane appears.
Below the Current
Function indicator select
the target FUNCTION
using Change
FUNCTION. After
selecting the FUNCTION
(F1, F2, etc.), you can set
the LAMP POWER and
adjust various image
related settings (ADJUST PROJECTOR). The settings are
stored in the selected FUNCTION as they are made for
later recall by selecting the specific FUNCTION.You can
also select from a number of Test Patterns for projection on
the auditorium screen to assist in alignment.
Caution: Any changes made to adjustments on the
FUNCTION SET-UP pane appear as they are made and
will be reflected in the settings returned the next time the
indicated FUNCTION is selected on the Projector Control
panel or recalled as part of a SPL where the included CPL
are associated with a FUNCTION.
Select “Target” Function Key
Prior to making any adjustments to settings appearing on
the FUNCTION SET-UP pane select the desired Function
Number (if necessary).

to be applied to the
projector, tap the target
FUNCTION (F1, F2,
etc.).
The Projector settings
will change, e.g., Focus,
Zoom, Lamp Power, etc.,
to reflect the stored
settings for the selected
FUNCTION. The Current Function indicates the new
selection.
Note: It may take some seconds for the process to
complete as some adjustments are mechanical in nature,
e.g., Zoom, Focus, etc.
MAKE SURE THAT THE CORRECT FUNCTION, e.g.,
F1, APPEARS IN “CURRENT FUNCTION” BEFORE
MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT ON THIS SCREEN.
THERE IS NO “UNDO” AND THE CHANGES YOU
MAKE WILL EFFECT THE PRESENTATION
EVERYTIME THE INDICATED FUNCTION IS
RECALLED USING EITHER THE PROJECTOR
CONTROL SCREEN OR WHEN THE FUNCTION IS
