Functionality
Diagnostic LEDs
1
The front plate of the Cinema Controller contains 4 diagnostic LEDs to display the status of the power supply:
• +VTEC supply (not used on DP2K-S series projector).
• +24V supply.
• +12V supply.
• general power supply (ERROR).
USB IN port
2
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type "B" connector to connect upstream devices (E.g. PC). This USB
port is used to communicate with the projector via RS232 commands (Virtual comport).
USB OUT port
3
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type "A" connector which can be used to power handheld devices within
USB spec (MAX 500mA/5V]. No other functionality supported (Future expansion).
3D INTERFACE
4
3D interface port can be used to connect external 3D devices to the projector. All signals necessary for 3D projection
can be provided via this connector.
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)
5
This 37 pin connector can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other devices. These input/output pins can be
programmed by macros created with the Communicator software. See user's guide of the Communicator, section Macro
editor, for more information about this functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs accept 24 volt maximum. If the
factory predefined macro to wake up the projector is assigned to one of the free GPI input pins the projector can be
awakened via GPIO.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
6
Wide Area Network (WAN: 10/100/1000 base-T). Use this Ethernet port (reference 6 image 7-8) to connect the network
which contains the DHCP server.
Once connected to the WAN, users can access the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company
network using the Communicator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or
the user can insert the correct IP-address to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all
the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple
operation. The network connectivity allows detection of potential errors and consequently improves service time.
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T)
7
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T) with built-in Ethernet switch (port I and port II). Use for projector control and
automation. E.g. Touch Panel, content server, ... (not for content streaming!)
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when they are on an Ethernet network, an Ethernet switch is built in. the
incoming network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way a 'star' network
interconnection can be avoided. The switch used is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet switch. This assures no
influence on the network speed.
The connectors used for these Ethernet ports are of the type RJ45, which is compatible with standard RJ45 cable connector.
Straight (most common) as well as cross linked network cables can be used. The 2 ports are functionally identical. Both
ports are connected via the projector switch (Auto sensing enabled).
