ports when connected to PoE equipment. To minimize the risk of damage to the projector, use only IEEE
802.3 compliant power sources and equipment in PoE systems.
General
Choice of connectivity depends on the installation requirements as well as the sources connected. Generally, digital interfaces are
preferred over analog. Multiple signals can be connected in parallel to allow for a selection of sources to be viewed in sequence.
The quality and length of cables may cause distorted or even failing signal quality. For best results Barco
recommends the cable quality and cable length limitations be taken into consideration when setting up the
installation.
To connect to a video or data source, simply plug the required interface in to the IO panel. Once a source is connected, turn the
projector back on and then use the arrow keys (left / right) of the keypad or wireless remote control to select the applicable source.
Source selection with the keypad can only be done when the OSD menu and Lens Shift functions are closed/in-
active.
Current (active) source information is displayed in the OSD Status menu, which can be accessed by pressing the Info button on the
remote control or by going to Main Menu — Status.
Source Scan
Main Menu — Installation — Source Scan
When Source Scan is on, the projector automatically scans the input connectors for a valid signal each time the projector is turned
on and, if one is found, automatically sets up the image. The default setting for Source Scan is disabled.
To activate Source Scan go to Main Menu — Installation — Source Scan.
