Link Mode Setting

To configure multiple projectors for Link Mode you must define a unique projector
ID for each projector, set the Communication Speed and define whether each
projector is a Master or Slave.
The projector ID for a 3000sx projector is assigned under Projector Options > Setup
> Page 5 > Projector ID. For a 4000gv projector it is assigned under Advanced
Menu > Projector Options > Setup > Page 6 > Projector ID.
The Communication Speed is located on the same Setup page. All projectors should
be set to the same speed (available options are 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400).
Link Mode is located under Projector Options. The master projector should be
defined as 'Master' and all other projectors should be defined as 'Slave'.
Once the Link Mode settings have been defined, display an image onto the screen
and check to ensure that the images from all the projectors are synchronised,
adjusting for any differences in vertical alignment or keystone distortion.
If you select an unregistered signal, the master projector will display the image
but the slave projectors will not. It is not possible to register an image whilst in
Link Mode. To register a signal, set Link Mode to 'Standalone' and repeat the
multiple projector operation procedure from Signal Data Preparation.
To make any image adjustments to slave projectors, temporarily change the master
projectors Link Mode setting to 'Standalone' and check that all other projectors are
in slave mode. Next, display the same image source on all projectors and make any
desired adjustments to brightness, contrast or colour temperature of the slave
projectors. Finally, change the Link Mode of the master projector back to 'Master'
to activate Link Mode
The setup procedure for Link Mode has now been completed.
