- Rear Cover: Can be removed for filter checks without turning off the projector.
- Operator Side Cover: Removal requires removing front and rear covers.
- Light Source Side Cover: Removal requires removing front and rear covers.
- Top Cover: Removal requires removing four screws.
- Sealed Compartment: Procedures for opening and closing for convergence adjustments.
Calibration:
- Color Calibration: Process includes creating lens position files, 3D files (if applicable), white point calibration, light sensor calibration, and color gamut calibration.
- White Point Calibration: Adjusts the projector's native white point to match the DCI standard, using laser power calibration. Requires a spectroradiometer.
- Color Gamut Calibration: Corrects the projector's color space to match the desired target color gamut (e.g., DCI standard), using measured primary color coordinates.
- Convergence Adjustment: Manual correction of Red and Blue DMDs relative to the Green DMD using control knobs. Each knob provides 6–8 pixels maximum displacement. Requires removal of top and side covers of the Light Processor compartment.
Troubleshooting:
- ICMP-X HDD Status LEDs: Provide visual indicators for HDD I/O activity, RAID status (OK, degraded, broken), and errors.
- Troubleshooting Tables: Provide solutions for common HDD-related issues like single disk failure, multiple disk failure, and "local storage not available" errors.
- ICMP-X Reset: Options include rebooting via Web Communicator or hardware reset button (use as a last resort to avoid data damage).
