Do any of you know how to clone a TI board on a series one Christie or are you stuck just copying the individual files one by one using the "put" and "get" functions?

If it is a ZX or M, then it will clone via the web interface. For the CP2000S series and all of its TCP based evolutions...the only means I know of is with Christie's DCP Librarian that has the special back up buttons. It does require one to have an access key to use DCP Librarian though. So no, it isn't easy.

I'm not familiar with Series 1. On Series 2, there is a backup function on the Administrator menu of the Christie TPC. You must be logged in at the service level. This will back up the entire projector. Once created, the backup package is stored on the TPC. In can be retrieved via FTP, uploaded to another projector, and installed on that projector. I *think* (although I've not personally tried it) that if a USB storage device is connected to the TPC when the backup is created, the backup package will be stored on it.

EDIT: Ugh. I haven't had enough coffee yet. Didn't see in the title that this is specifically asking about series 1. Whoops.
