Connect Communications

2.5.1 Remote Keypads

NOTE: The response to a wired keypad must be enabled in the Communications menu. See
User Interface for more information.
To control the projector, direct the IR remote towards the display screen or the projector IR sensors.
Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) version of the remote to the XLR connector labeled as Wired
Keypad on the input panel.
As an alternative to the projector keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate using a PC or other
controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS-232 and RS-422), or
Ethernet communications. See the Serial Command document provided in the Dealer Section of the Christie
Website, 020-100224-XX.

2.5.2 Serial Port Connections

RS-232 and RS-422 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
Command document provided in the Dealer Section of the Christie Website, 020-100224-XX.
2.5.3 Connect RS-232
Two nine-pin D-sub 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 projector baud rate to match that of the computer. See
Section 3 Operation
2-24
for details on changing the baud rate.
