Christie 177-104106-01 – 66mm Aperture Filter for Sapphire IFH
What is the Christie 177-104106-01 aperture filter?
The Christie 177-104106-01 is the 66 mm aperture filter for the Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH projector's Intelligent Filter Holder (IFH). Christie's documentation lists it as the 2D aperture 66 mm filter in its optical filter instructions and as the mono 66 mm filter in the Sapphire setup guide. It is the filter you fit when a Sapphire projector is not running as one eye of an Infitec color comb 3D pair.
What does the Christie 177-104106-01 do?
The Sapphire 4K40-RGBH accepts three IFH optical filters: left-eye 3D, right-eye 3D and this aperture filter. Swapping between them lets a venue move the same Christie Sapphire 4K40-RGBH between Infitec 3D and standard operation, which is useful for attractions and visualization spaces that run both 3D and 2D content.
Installation is a short procedure for a qualified installer: power down, open the service door, disconnect the IFH harness, remove the existing filter, seat the new filter flush on its alignment pins and reconnect the harness. Christie stresses gloved handling and a clean optic, and recommends a Hawkeye sensor-to-screen calibration if this filter type has not been calibrated on the system before. Sapphire stores LiteLOC calibration by filter type, so switching back and forth does not lose calibration data.
For dual-projector Infitec 3D, see the companion left-eye and right-eye filters, or the TAA-compliant Sapphire for government projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need the aperture filter?
Fit it when the Sapphire projector is not being used as the left or right eye of an Infitec 3D pair.
Can I swap it with the 3D filters?
Yes. The IFH accepts the left-eye, right-eye and aperture filters, and Sapphire keeps calibration per filter type.
Do I need to recalibrate after swapping?
Christie recommends a Hawkeye calibration only if that filter type has never been calibrated on the system or the line voltage changed.
Who should install it?
A qualified installer, wearing clean powder-free gloves, with the projector powered down and unplugged.
