RS-422
Some computers can provide serial communications (often through a plug-in
adapter or external converter) rather than the more common RS-232. RS-422
communication has differential "transmits-and-receives" and is generally better
suited for long distances than is RS-232 communication. RS-422 is not compatible
with RS-232—connecting one to the other could damage the equipment at either end.
If you wish to control the projector with a computer and/or other controlling device
RS-422
(such as the Two-Way Controller) having RS-422 capability, connect serial
communication cables between the computer (or other device) and either (or both) of
RS-422
the projector serial ports labeled —these 6-pin XLR connector ports are
located near the upper right corner of the projector's rear control panel (see Figure
RS-422
2.23). Use an port only if your equipment has RS-422 capability—always
first consult the documentation supplied with your equipment.
