INSTALLATION & SETUP
2.6 Connecting for
Communications
2-24
Many communications with the projector are initiated on the TPC mounted at the rear
of the projector. Depending on the installation, you may also need certain other serial
and/or Ethernet links to the projector, such as from a server or PC functioning as a
controller, or from an existing on-site network including other related equipment.
These system connections are typically done at time of installation, but are fully
accessible and can be changed at any time. In rare cases, serial and/or Ethernet links
are needed only during installation, and are disconnected afterwards.
Connect your devices to the Communications and Source Connection Panel at the
rear of the projection head.

main processing electronics. If Ethernet is not available at your site, connect a
standard serial cable to the
acceptable for using a PC/laptop to run Christie's DCP Librarian or to download
new software, but is too slow for server communications and does not support ASCII
messaging to the TPC (which requires Ethernet).
