2.5.6 Connect Multiple Projectors

RS-232 Network: To connect multiple projectors in a network with serial communication:
1. Connect the controller source to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network.
2. Use another serial communication cable to connect one end to the RS-232 OUT connector and the other
end to the RS-232 IN connector of the next projector.
3. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network.
NOTE: The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS-232 IN connector.
Mixed Network: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an RS-422 interface:
1. Set them all to the same baud rate as your RS-422 controller.
NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS-422 and RS-232 in the Communications menu. Set the
"Network Routing" option to "RS-232 and RS-422 Joined", see
2. Chain the projectors together by connecting an RS-232 OUT (Null Cable) of the first projector (already
connected to the computer/controller) through the RS-422 port straight thru to an RS-232 IN on the next
projector in the chain. Continue connecting projectors in this manner until the last projector in the chain, so
that only the last projector has one unused port RS-232 OUT.
