Connecting Communications

As an alternative to the projector's keypad or remote, communicate with the projector using a PC or other
controller. Commands and feedback are sent via serial links (RS-232 and RS-422) and Ethernet or GPIO
communications to the projector.

2.4.1 Remote Keypad

Direct the projector's IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the projector's IR sensor. Alternatively,
connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the RCA jack labeled
panel. Response to a wired keypad must be enabled in the Communications menu—see 3.6, Adjusting System
Parameters and Advanced Controls for more information.

2.4.2 Serial Port Connections

RS-232 and RS-422 are the serial ports available on the projector. 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.
Connecting RS-232
The two 9-pin 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 baud rate to match that of the computer. Refer to
