Controlling
The RETRODATA 808s can be controlled with
a. The RCU
b. The hardwired RCU (cable not included)
c. The local keyboard
The procedure and results of controlling the projector with either of
these RCU options is essentially the same.
How to use your RCU
a) Point the front of the RCU towards the reflective screen surface
RCU
c) RCU used in a hardwired configuration.

Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of
the RCU and the second side in the connector in the rear panel of the
RETRODATA 808s labelled 'REMOTE'.
Projector Address
a. Hardware set up of the projector address.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255
which is set with hardware DIP switches inside the projector. To
change that address, contact a BARCO authorized technician.
b. How to control the projector.
The projector's address may be set to any value between 0 and 255.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with :
- the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9.
- computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for
addresses between 0 and 255.

Note : A projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of '0'
regardless of what address is set in the projector itself. Address "O"
is therefore a universal address.
c. Using your RCU.
Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address
into the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The
projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific
RCU.
When address 0, 'zero address' is programmed into the RCU, every
projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this
RCU.
How to display a projector address?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector's address will be displayed in a 'Text box'. This text box
disappears after a few seconds.
To continue using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the same
address with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9). For
exemple, if the Adrress Key displays projector address 003, then
press the "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU's address to
match the projector's address. Do not press digit 003. This will
address the remote to '0' and control all projectors in the room.
How to program an address into the RCU?
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil
and enter the address with the digit buttons. That address can be any
digit between 0 and 9.
When programming '0', zero address, the RCU will control a projector
regardless of the projector's address. This feature allows multiple
projectors with different addresses to be controlled by a single RCU.
