Source and Communication Connection Panel
projection head)
The Source and Communication Connection Panel provides high-security connection
of the CP2000 to a variety of external equipment such as sources and controllers:
•
ETHERNET:
Connect networked equipment such as PCs and servers to the
internal Ethernet hub.
•
RS-232 A (PC):
Connect a standard serial/RS-232 cable for external serial
communication with a PC/laptop
•
RS-232 B (Reserved):
the Cine-IPM 2K. Other equipment will not function via this port.
•
PORTS A and B (CINEMA):
sources to these SMPTE 292M bit-serial standard interface BNCs.
•
DVI PORTS (ALTERNATIVE "NON-CINEMA" CONTENT):
of non-cinema video and graphics sources to either of these identical single-
link DVI ports.
NOTE: These are single-link ports for single-link cable/connectors only.
Using this pair of ports as a dual-link pair requires a special adapter (not
currently available).
Changing a connection requires access to the interior of the projector via the locked
pedestal. Unauthorized general users cannot connect/disconnect.
Touch Panel Controller (TPC)
The Touch Panel Controller (TPC) is a portable touch-sensitive screen used to
control the projector. At the TPC, general users can turn the lamp on/off, select a
specific source/input as defined in one of 32 display setups created by the installer,
and obtain basic status information. Depending on the installation, the TPC module
may be mounted to the rear of the projector with its cable routed to the projector via a
rear hole, or it may be mounted elsewhere at the site and routed to the projector via a
front hole. Tilt/turn the TPC as desired for best viewing angle. Navigation and
complete description of the TPC menus—including password-protected options for
advanced users or service technicians—is fully explained in 3.5, Using the Touch
Panel Controller.
