System Integration 
 
013-100199-04  E-1 
The GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) connector located on the input panel provides a flexible 
method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O devices to the projector. There are seven GIO pins 
available on the nine-pin D-Sub GPIO connector, which are configurable via RS232 commands. The 
other two pins are reserved for ground and power – see table below for pin identification.  
 
GPIO Pins 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin #  Signal 
1  + 12V (200mA) 
2 GPIO 1 
3 GPIO 2 
4 GPIO 3 
5 Ground 
6 GPIO 4 
7 GPIO 5 
8 GPIO 6 
9 GPIO 7 
 
The serial cable required for connecting the external device to the projector’s GPIO connector, 
whether it’s a standard serial cable or a custom one, must be compatible with the external device.  
 Configuring the GPIO  
The GPIO connector can be configured to automate any number of events using the serial 
command code GIO. Each pin is defined as either an input or output depending on the 
desired outcome. In general, configure the pin as an input if you want the projector to respond 
to something the external device does and as an output if you want the external device to 
respond to an action taken by the projector. For example, configure the pin as an output if you 
want the lighting in a room to automatically dim when the projector is turned on. 
By using the GIO command, you can also set the state of each pin as high or low. By default, 
the state of each pin is high. The voltage applied to pins in the high state is + 3.3V. 
Example 1.
 Turn room lighting on when the projector is turned off. (Assumes a 
control/automation unit is configured to turn the lights on when pin 2 of its input goes high.) 
(GIO C2 O)   Set pin #2 configuration to output  
(GIO 2 H)  Set pin #2 to high (state)

(GIO! C2 O)  Reply with pin #2 configuration as output 
(GIO? 2)  Request the state of pin #2 
(GIO! H)  Reply with pin #2 state as high 
 
Real Time Event 
Use the serial command RTE to specify an action that is initiated at a particular time or based 
on an external stimulus.

Example 2.

(GIO C2 I)  Set pin #2 configuration as input 
(RTE G 2 H “(PWR 1)”)  Power on when pin #2 set to high  
(RTE G 2 L “(PWR 0)”)  Power off when pin #2 set to low

• BNC connectors for RGB signal inputs 
NOTE: The audio connectors are not functional.  
The RGB400 Buffered Amplifier Input Module may be installed in this projector, in a 
Marquee Signal Switcher or in a Marquee Case/Power Supply. Connect three-, four-, or 
five-wire RGB video signals of up to 400 MHz bandwidth, signals typically produced by 
high-resolution computer or workstations. The buffering capability of the module enables 
the incoming signal to be sent to a remote destination. Inputs are 75
Ω terminated.
