Making The Connections - Barco Orion 1080 Safety And Users Manual

4.11 Making the connections

The projector is equipped with multiple signal and control interfaces to support various video and data sources
(see connector panel below), as well as different control systems.
Always make sure that the projector is powered off before connecting any signal and/or control cables.
Long cables may cause distorted or even failing signal quality. Always make sure best quality cables are
used, and take into consideration the cable length limitations applying to the various interface standards.
4.12 Connecting video and data sources
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.
4.13 Connecting control interfaces
Power off the projector and the source
Choice of control interface depends on the installation requirements. Attach the interfaces of choice and make
sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.

4.14 Source format integrity – EDID
If using 3rd party system equipment, such as signal repeaters or switchers, please make sure that EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data) information is not lost in translation. Wrong EDID data may result in
distorted images, wrong aspect ratios or reduced image resolutions.
