Serial Port Connections - Christie Mirage WQ-L User Manual

Serial Port Connections

Use the RS422 port only if the device being used has this capability. Always consult with
equipment literature before connecting.
RS232 and RS422 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
page 50 and Serial Communication
Two nine-pin D-sub connectors, labeled RS232 IN and RS232 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 RS232 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 RS422 capability, connect
a RS422 serial communication cable between the controlling device and the RS422 port on the
projector. RS422 is better suited than RS232, for serial communication over distances greater than
50 feet (15 m). See RS422 Port
Control Network
For further information about setting up and using a projector connected via Ethernet see
the Display on page 48 and
Inputs 1 and 2
Native WQ is required in order to receive a valid DVI-D signal.
Use Inputs 1 and 2 to connect the main and secondary input sources. See
The LEDs assigned to each input indicate the following:

GPIO
The GPIO connector provides a method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices. For
complete details on pin configuration and how to program the GPIO see
