Author Topic: Christie 2220 - Memory reset Lucas Iaccarino Film Handler Posts: 37 From: capital federal, buenos aires, argentina Registered: Feb 2015 posted 04-17-2017 12:44 PM                     Hello I´m having issues with 3 Christie projectors. We determine the lens position, zoom and focus but the Macros lost some coordenates after each change. I read that maybe is the ICP or something like that. Do you think it is possible fix it with a Hard reset?

Where there any counter-measures taken? What were those? The problem could be caused by a number of reasons, including mechanical ones. It might also be fixed with as little as a lens position reset before the setting, or moving the lens to the opposite direction just a little bit, before setting to the correct position. (Unfortunately, only one DCinema projector company provides step motor lenses that provide their actual -not relevant- position.) Your suggestion of erasing all is rather extreme. Could you share more info?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-17-2017 03:36 PM                     The lens files are not in the ICP, these are saved in either the PIB or the TPC. I don't know how to delete lens files from a Christie though.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I believe it is in the Service menu (I'd have to check...under file management). With drifting lens settings I'd check to make sure nothing is slipping. Those motors move very fast and can put a bit of torque on things so make sure the set screws are tight and, probably put some blue loctite on them to keep the screws from walking out. Make sure that zoom ring is secure (and not broken). Also, make sure you initialize the system.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-18-2017 07:28 AM                     Have you done a lens home test  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 04-19-2017 05:50 PM                     removed  |  IP: Logged
