Barco Projector Toolset For Hdx Series Reference Guide

							10. Installation Settings
Normal
Maximum allowed power is fed to the lamp. Maximum light output is reached in
this way.
Economic
a reduced wattage is fed to the lamp. Reduced light output but a longer life time
for the lamp.
Remarks:
- When mode is set to Normal, then CLO mode can be switched on or off.
- When switching the power mode to Economic while the CLO mode is On, then the CLO mode is
switched to Off.
- When the power mode is Economic and the CLO mode is switched to the On mode, then the power
mode will be switched to the Normal mode.
2. Dimming, click on the slider and move the desired dimming position or click on the up down control of
the spin box until the desired dimming is reached.
CLO mode (status)
CLO or Constant Light Output allows to force a constant light output of the projector over a certain period.
This will eliminate uncontrolled light output drop caused by natural aging of the lamp.
To activate the CLO mode, check the check box in front ofCLO status.
When CLO is activated, a target value must be entered. Click on the up down control of the spin box until
the desired CLO target lumens is installed or click in the inputfield and enter the desired value with the
keyboard.
Lamp run time
This gives an indication of the current and remaining run time. A visual indication via a progress bar shows
the current run time in percentage of the total safe run time of the lamp.
Lamp strikes
Indicates the number of times the lamp has been started since thefirst startup.

11.1 HDX network settings
11.1.1 Ethernet Connection
IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication withthe internet.
Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local
area network.
Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a
local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the
Internet.
DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organi-
zation’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet
needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer userswithaconnection
to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP ad-
dress must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location
in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network ad-
ministrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends
a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.
What should be set up for the Ethernet address
2 ways can be used to assign an address:

							11. Communication
• use the DHCP setting so that a automatic address will be assigned.
• Assign manually an IP address, Subnet-mask, default gateway address.
- Set the IP-Addressfield to the desired value. The IP address identifies a projector’s location on the
network in the same way a street address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address
must identify a unique residence, an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.
- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on
the same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local
network. If there is no router on the projector’s local subnet then just set thisfield to any IP-Address
on the subnet.
11.1.2 Assign an Ethernet address via DHCP
How to set up
1. Click on the radio button in front ofObtain an IP address Automatically (DHCP)in theNetwork settings
pane (a) (image 11-1)
2. Click onApply(c)
The network setting is applied.

How to set up
1. Click on the radio button in front ofUse the following IP addressin theNetwork settingspane (a) (im-
age 11-2)
2. Click in the inputfield of the IP address andfill out the 4fields (b)
Note:An address contains 4 octets with a maximum value of 255.
3. Click in the Subnet mask inputfields andfill out the 4fields as appropriate for the local subnet (b).

4. Click in the Default Gateway inputfields andfill out the 4fields. Set the Default Gateway to the IP-Ad-
dress of the router (MUST be on the local subnet!) (b).
Note:If there is no router on the projector’s local subnet then just set thisfield to any IP-Address on
the subnet.

Network settings, manually
The PC’s IP Address MUST be within the same subnet as the projector’s IP Address in
order for communication to be possible. This requires checking the PC’s and projector’s
Subnet-Mask settings.
IP address examples
First example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.100.5
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.3
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Second example
• PC IP Address : 10.16.236.100
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.3
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Third example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.3
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

							11. Communication
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
The third group in the PC IP address and Projector IP address must be the same.
Fourth example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.3
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Remark : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address. The
third group in the IP¨ addresses can be any value as the third group in the subnet mask is 0.

11.4.3 DMX universe
About DMX (ArtNet) universe
Different universes can be defined so that more devices can be controlled. Each universe must have a
unique address between 0 and 255. That unique address is built-up by a subnet and an ID. Both can be
changed from 0 to 15 (or in hex value from 0 to F). The combination of both [(1) + (2)] gives a hex value
in the lower rectangle (3) and an equivalent decimal value in the upper rectangle (4).
