Sources connect to the Input Panel located at the back of the projector. See Figure 2.6. 
The upper right corner (
INPUT 1) typically accepts an RGB signal from an external 
analog RGB source, or it can also be used for YPbPr signals or additional video 
sources. Just beside these BNCs, the DVI-I connector (
INPUT 2) accepts digital or 
analog display signals from a computer. Connect analog composite video at 
INPUT 3 
or...

NOTES: 1) If for some reason the projector fails to recognize a signal as an RGB 
signal, specify this Color Space option within the Image Settings menu. See 3.5 
Adjusting the Image. 2) To connect YPbPr signals–such as from DVDs or analog HDTV 
sources–to 
INPUT 1, use the red, green and blue BNCs as described in YPbPr Signals 
(below). 
 
Connect a YPbPr signal (component video) to INPUT 1...

INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 provide simultaneous connection of both a composite video 
source (
INPUT 3) and an S-Video source (INPUT 4). See Figure 2.9.  
 
Figure 2.9.Connecting Composite or S-Video sources 
Use the DVI-I connector at INPUT 2 to connect either analog or digital video devices 
to the projector. When connecting devices that transmit an analog video signal such as 
VCRs, laptops, and PCs use the DVI cable provided with...

As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate 
with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and 
receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO 
communications to the projector, all described below. 
As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the 
projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a...

Ethernet Communications 
To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other equipment such as 
controllers and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your 
Ethernet controller (or hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector. 
Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of 
0.0.0.0.0 will automatically enable...

MIXED NETWORK: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an 
RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller. 
NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the 
Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS232 and RS422 
Joined”. See Section 3 for details. 
Then chain the projectors together by connecting an 
RS232...

ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP: To add one or more projectors to an Ethernet network, 
use standard CAT5 cable to connect each projector’s Ethernet port to a hub belonging 
to the network. A controller or PC must also be connected to the hub. See Figure 2.14.

SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY: The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are 
automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, it must be 
assigned before the subnet mask. The Default Gateway is an optional router device 
used to send and receive data outside the subnet. 
ArtNet INTERFACE SETTINGS:  Refer to Section 3.6 – Adjusting System Parameters 
and Advanced Control, System Configuration – Communication...

 The North American rated line cord is provided with each projector. Ensure 
that you are using a line cord, socket and power plug that meets the 
appropriate local rating standards.
 
Plug the line cord to the AC receptacle located at the back of the projector, below the 
input panel, and the three-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet. Ensure the socket 
outlet is installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. The...

This section explains how to effectively operate the projector once it has been 
installed. It is recommended that you read this section and familiarize yourself with 
the components and the available menu options before you begin using your projector 
for the first time. 
 
 
  
The built-in keypad is located at the back of the projector, beside the input panel. Use 
it similarly to the IR remote to control the projector. A status LED...
