Setup Procedures

Connect a Source

All source connections are made to the input panel, located at the back of the projector. Each input is
labeled for easy identification. Using the correct cable(s), connect your source. See
for External Communications
Status

Serial Port Connections

Use the RS-422 port only if the device being used has this capability. Always consult with
equipment literature before connecting.
RS-232 and RS-422 serial ports are both available on the projector. You can connect a device with a
serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector
remotely by entering specific serial communication commands. See
Serial Communication
Two 9-pin D-sub connectors, labeled RS-232 IN and RS-232 OUT on the input panel, are dedicated to
serial communication. Using the appropriate serial communication cables, connect the controlling
source, such as a personal computer to the RS-232 IN connector. Set the projector baud rate to
match that of the computer. See
To control the projector with a computer or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a
RS-422 serial communication cable between the controlling device and the RS-422 port on the
projector. RS-422 is better suited than RS-232, for serial communication over distances greater than
50 feet (15 m). See RS-422
