AsseMbly / instAllAtion Cabling the projectors The projectors are connected together via RS232 cables. note: The RS232 cable is a 9-pin D-sub extension cable with 1:1 wiring. To cable the projectors together: Use the RS232 data cable provided (9-pin D-sub 1:1 extension cable) and connect each RS232 OUT to RS232 IN.
AsseMbly / instAllAtion To connect the projectors to the control PC: ► Connect the control PC to projector 1 either via a RS232 data cable or via a KAT.5 Ethernet cable (optional): RS232 Fig. 7: Connecting the projecotrs to the control PC Adressing the projectors To control the projectors and to enable communication, each projector must be allocated with an individual address.
AsseMbly / instAllAtion Adjusting the focus In order to achieve a clear image, it is necessary to adjust the optical focus of the projection engine. In the event that the image on the screen becomes blurred, it is necessary to readjust the focus setting. To adjust the focus, we recommend using an image with suitable content displayed on the screen, e. g.
Generating reports note: The EC-Lcontrol program is specially developed for adjusting the colour of the eyevis ESP projectors. For this reason, use this program for colour adjustments instead of the colour adjustment function in the eyeDevice software. Program installation and start The programs do not have to be installed.
Launch the EC-Lcontrol software (EC-Lcontrol.exe). The start window opens. ª note: The EC-LControl software can be used for both ESP eyevis projectors and for the eyevisCube series. Therefore, both the concepts of CUBE and projector are used. (In the software and in the text)
