CT series User Manual - Installation User Manual - Introduction
The projector is equipped with multiple signal and control interfaces to support various video
and data sources (see connector panel below), as well as different control systems.
Always make sure that the projector is powered off before connecting any signal and/
or control cables.
Long cables may cause distorted or even failing signal quality. Always make sure best
quality cables are used, and take into consideration the cable length limitations apply-
ing to the various interface standards.
Choice of connectivity depends on the installation requirements as well as the sources
connected. Generally, digital interfaces are preferred over analog. Multiple signals can be
connected in parallel to allow for a selection of sources to be viewed in sequence.
Attach the interfaces of choice and make sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.
Power off the projector and the source!
Choice of control interface depends on the installation requirements. Attach the interfaces of
choice and make sure all connectors are fully inserted and retained.
Please see the relevant SIS (Simplified Instruction Set) commands available for
download on www.barco.com for easy access to more information.
Power up the projector and the source!
If using 3rd party system equipment, such as signal repeaters or switchers, please
make sure that EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information is not lost in
translation. Wrong EDID data may result in distorted images, wrong aspect ratios or
reduced image resolutions.
