NOTE: The built-in keypad cannot be disabled
In addition, the rental staging keypad typically used with Roadsters can operate under
a variety of different IR protocols, useful in multiple-projector sites where you prefer
the tetherless freedom of controlling many adjacent projectors independently. When
Keypad A operates under a different protocol than Keypad B (or others), each keypad
communicates only with the projector(s) having a matching protocol defined in
memory. See below.
This style of keypad offers one protocol (A) only, and can be converted for
'
wired use as follows:
1. Using the built-in keypad, display the Communications menu and
choose the wired keypad option.
2. Then, connect the remote IR keypad to the phono jack input labeled
on the projector's input panel.
REMOTE
NOTES: 1) Typically used for Roadsters. 2) Protocols B-G described here
'
require main projector software v1.2d or higher.
At manufacture, this remote keypad is assigned "A" as its default protocol,
which is simply a collection of settings that determines how the IR keypad
operates. Once assigned, a protocol remains in effect until it is changed—
that is, a remote keypad will operate as it currently does until you change
its protocol. Each rental staging remote can operate using one of 7 different
IR protocols, or it can be set to a "wired" protocol for use when a cable
connects the remote to the projector. Change protocol via "hard-wired"
jumper settings inside the keypad, set projector software to match, and add
or remove the keypad cable as necessary.
NOTE: Match the protocol on the projector to that of a keypad by accessing the
Communications submenu. See 3.8, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced
Controls for further information on how to define which protocol the projector's
infrared sensors (rear and front) will recognize.
Setting the Protocol
To convert the Roadster "brick" style of keypad from IR to wired use (or vice versa),
set its protocol accordingly—see below.
Step 1
Unlatch and open the battery compartment on the back of the keypad as shown in
Figure 2.43.
