7.1 ICMP-X introduction
About ICMP-X
The ICMP is a removable electronic assembly situated in the Card Cage of the projector. The ICMP-X stores,
decrypts and decodes DCI cinema content and delivers it to the projector in a playable format, all integrated
into a single assembly placed directly in the projector. ICMP-X is a fully integrated assembly so expected by
the operators to facilitate their daily business.
The standard Integrated Cinema Processor functionality from Texas Instruments® is fully integrated into the
ICMP-X. So, the ICMP-X replaces the ICP board as well.

2 HDDs for ICMP-X
As an integrated component of the projector, installation and maintenance of the ICMP-X requires the same
skills and the same precautions as an intervention on the projector itself.

GEN1 and GEN2 storage controller
The ICMP-X is equipped with a GEN2 storage controller while the legacy ICMP has an GEN1 storage
controller.
The GEN2 storage controller supports SSD and uses another disk initialization type. This implies that HDDs
initialized for the legacy ICMP (with GEN1 storage controller) are not interchangeable with the ICMP-X without
re-initialization. Note that a re-initialization process result in lost of content. See “What are the possible HDD
swaps ”, page 77.
It’s possible to upgrade an ICMP with a GEN2 storage controller. For more info about the upgrade kit and
instructions see Barco website.
