Connecting for Communications

Many communications with the projector are initiated on the TPC mounted at the rear of the projector.
Depending on the installation, you may also need certain other serial and/or Ethernet links to the projector,
such as from a server or PC functioning as a controller, or from an existing on-site network including other
related equipment. These system connections are typically done at time of installation, but are fully accessible
and can be changed at any time. In rare cases, serial and/or Ethernet links are needed only during installation,
and are disconnected afterwards.
Connect your devices to the Communications and Source Connection Panel at the rear of the projection head.

TPC

Connect the TPC cable to the 6-pin XLR connector. This connector then routes to an internal 5-port Ethernet
hub connected to the projector's main processing electronics.

PC/Laptop, Server or Network

To communicate with the CP2000-XB from a computer, server or an existing network, connect the equipment
to Ethernet A or Ethernet B. Both ports route to the 5-port Ethernet hub connected to the projector's main
processing electronics. If Ethernet is not available at your site, connect a standard serial cable to the RS232
port instead—note this communication link is acceptable for using a PC/laptop to run Christie's DCP
Librarian or to download new software, but is too slow for server communications and does not support ASCII
messaging to the TPC (which requires Ethernet).
