Author Topic: Christie Projector Software Versions Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 03-22-2018 11:13 AM                     Dude. I know how to power cycle the projector. Marco, no, I have not contacted Christie about this issue because they are not exactly the most knowledgeable about these types of things. I'm sure their engineers are, but that information doesn't always get relayed to their support center, in my experience. But I have confirmed from a few colleagues that I am not the only one who experienced this issue.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 06-05-2019 02:40 AM                 It has been 439 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Halls Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Adelaide South Australia Registered: Feb 2013 posted 06-05-2019 02:40 AM                     Our Cinema Chain acquired a Cinema in a regional area in Australia. The Software wasn't kept up to date by previous owners. The 2210 projectors are on Software Version 3.1.0 (3). To Install the latest 4.8.1 (3) The Release notes say must have minimum 4.0.0(2) or later. I can find Versions 4.1.0(3) and V 4.1.1 on the Portal. 4.1.0(3) requires 3.1.0(x) which it’s on so I should be able to upgrade in two goes Does anyone see a problem with going from: 3.1.0(3) currently on this version, to 4.1.0(3) and then latest 4.8.1(3) There is also a version 4.1.3(3) that will go from 3.1.0.(3) Appreciate any advice. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-05-2019 09:45 AM                     it looks like you've done your homework. It's been a while since I've upgraded one of those machines but your logic is sound. Remember that when upgrading Christie projectors you may need to reboot/power cycle multiple times for the updates to fully apply. I would also check all the operations after upgrading to 4.1 and before continuing - if something goes wrong you may be able to narrow the possible causes if you've only done one upgrade.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Halls Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Adelaide South Australia Registered: Feb 2013 posted 06-09-2019 08:59 PM                     Thanks Marco, I've obtained a version of 4.0.0(2). Have been informed this is the safest package to use from 3.1.0 before going to 4.8.1. I'll let you know how it goes. Will take a spare ICP card just in case.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 06-10-2019 05:16 PM                     ICP can always been reflashed - I’m not too concerned about that but better safe than sorry! Let us know!  |  IP: Logged Geoff Halls Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Adelaide South Australia Registered: Feb 2013 posted 06-26-2019 11:13 PM                     Went from 3.1.0 to 4.0.0 to 4.8.1 no problems.
