Section 2: Installation and Setup

2.5.5 Extra Video

If you want to use an extra video source in
addition to the video source(s) connected at
INPUT 3 or INPUT 4 connect either a
Composite or S-video source to INPUT 1 as
shown.
NOTES : 1)
Do not simultaneously connect
Composite and S-video to INPUT 1.
You can switch between video sources
connected at INPUT 1 and INPUT 3 or
INPUT 4.

2.5.6 Optional Inputs

Optional Input modules allow you to increase
your total number of inputs and/or accommodate
different signal types, whether analog or digital.
Install in the areas labeled INPUT 6 or (if
available) INPUT 5. These interfaces include:
• DVI Input Module
• Dual SD/HD-SDI Module (supplied as stan-
dard in this projector)
For even more sources, connect a third-party
switcher to the RS-232 IN port, or, if RS-422-
compatible, to any of the two RS-422 ports.
Older Input cards not listed may be supported by
the Roadie HD+35K.
NOTES: 1)
Connect analog HDTV signals directly
to INPUT 1 or to any other "RBG" Input
module installed-the optional HDTV Input
Module used in earlier projectors is not
needed or recommended.

Connecting Communications

As an alternative to the projector's built-in keypad or standard IR remote, you may wish to communicate with
the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial
links (two types), Ethernet or GPIO communications, all described below.
