If you are using more than one Marquee
switcher inputs/outputs together to form a complete network of inputs accessible
from the projector (you can network up to 9 switchers), and connect Switcher #1 to
the projector as shown in Figure 2.12. In addition, connect the RGB output from each
switcher to its matching slot on switcher #1–for example, connect the RGB output
from switcher #2 to slot #2 on switcher #1, and the RGB output from switcher #3 to
slot #3 on switcher #1. Note that slots used in this manner on switcher #1 are no
longer recognized as inputs to the projector–if you select a slot location that is
connected to another switcher's RGB output, the projector will display the "no input
signal" error message.
Multiple projectors can be connected via the serial port inputs on the input panel for
control using serial communication commands, otherwise known as RS-232.
Connection: Located just below the video decoder module are two 9-Pin DIN
connectors dedicated to serial communication. Using the appropriate serial
communication cables (see Appendix D) connect the controlling source (PC) to the
RS-232 IN connector.
NOTE: A third RS-232 serial port, located on the main input panel of the EM, is
intended for future use only.
