Serial Communication Cables

'
FOR GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Serial Links to Projector A serial link of RS232 or RS422 enables ASCII
communication with the projector so that it can be controlled remotely from a PC or
other controller. From a PC, connect a standard 9-wire RS232 serial cable to the
RS232 IN
port located on the side of the projection head. Or, for long-distance (>100
ft.) links with an RS422-compatible PC or controller, connect RS422 cable to an
RS422
port located on the side or rear panel of the projection head.
FOR SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS:
Downloading new software to the projector requires
RS232 or RS422 connected to the 9-pin connectors on the side of the projector
only—do not download using either of the 6-pin XLR RS422 ports located at the rear
of the projector.
NOTE
Using a rear RS422 port (3-pin XLR) or Ethernet link for
downloading new software to the projector is not supported.
RS422 CONNECTIONS:
Depending on your RS422-compatible device or RS232-
RS444 converter, the cabling wiring can vary, and may require a custom cable.
