   Christie DS+60/DW30/Matrix 3000 User’s Manual    C-1 
A serial link of RS232 or RS422 enables ASCII communication with the projector so 
that it can be controlled remotely from a PC or other controller. From a PC, connect a 
standard 9-wire RS232 serial cable to the 
RS232 IN port. Or, for long-distance (>100 
ft.) links with an RS422-compatible PC or controller, connect RS422 cable to the 
RS422 port.

Calculating Throw Distance 
It is important throw distance be 
precisely calculated for your 
installation using the appropriate 
formula from the chart below. To 
calculate throw distance you must 
know the screen size and the lens type 
installed in the projector. In general, 
the larger you want the image to be 
the greater the distance you must 
allow between the lens and the screen. 
NOTES: 1) Throw distance is...

The GPIO 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 7 GIO pins available on the 9pin 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.
