Appendix B: GPIO
This section explains how to use a GPIO link from the projector to external equipment, such as devices for
3D synchronizing.
B.1 GPIO Port
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 GPIO pins 
available on the 9pin D-Sub GPIO connector, which are 
configurable via RS-232 commands. See Figure B-1 - 
GPIO Connector. The other two pins are reserved for 
ground and power - see table below for pin identifica-
tion. 
Table B.1 GPIO Pin       
The serial cable required for connecting the external device to the projector’s GPIO connector, must be 
compatible with the external device.
GPIO PINS
PIN #SIGNAL
Pin 1 + 12V (200mA)
Pin 2 GPIO 2
Pin 3 GPIO 4
Pin 4 GPIO 6
Pin 5 Ground
Pin 6 GPIO 1
Pin 7 GPIO 3
Pin 8 GPIO 5
Pin 9 GPIO 7
FIGURE B-1 - GPIO CONNECTOR

Appendix B: GPIO
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. Configure the pin as an 
input if you want the projector to respond to something the 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 output 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.
A low state (or value of 0) will be read on an input pin if the circuit attached to the pin is open. A high state (or 
value of 1) will be read on an input pin if the circuit attached to the pin is shorted to ground. This corresponds 
to a switch closing event.
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.) 
NOTE: The strings in the commands refer to pins 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 in order from left to right. (GIO+CNFG “OOOIIII”) Set pin #2, 3 & 4 configuration to output and 
pin 6, 7, 8 & 9 to input
(GIO+STAT “HLXXXXX”) Set pin #2 to high, pin 3 to low and the state of 
all other pins unchanged
Query Command
(GIO+STAT) Request the state of all pins
(GIO+STAT “HLLHLLH”) Reply of pin states - H means pin is high, L 
means pin is low
(GIO+CNFG) Request the configuration of all pins
(GIO+CNFG “IIIOOOO”) Reply of pin configurations - pins 2, 3 & 4 are 
Inputs, pins 6, 7, 8 & 9 are Outputs

Appendix C: DMX / ArtNet 
C.1 DMX and Real Time Events
What is DMX?
DMX is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage lighting and 
effects.
What is Real Time Events?
A real time event is a pre-recorded sequence of 1 or more serial commands which are executed when a defined 
trigger occurs. For example: 
• A trigger can be timed based (i.e. Saturday at 1:00pm; occurring every other week)
• A trigger can be event based (i.e. System powers on, good signal, etc.)
• A trigger can be a number of other events (For more details, refer to 4.3.7 Advanced Tabbed Page - RTE)
NOTE: A real time event can use nested loops and delays. Only statically defined commands can be executes 
(i.e. PWR 0, SHU 1). You cannot use variables or other complex programming techniques.
Lens Control Limitiations
WARNING: Normal ILS control of the lens horizontal and vertical positions by the projector respects the 
boundaries of the lens keepout area. This area is necessary to prevent damage to components within the 
projector. When the DMX controls are used to set the absolute position of the lens, setting values in these keep 
out areas may result in an unwanted final lens position. You must ensure that any interim or final lens 
positions, at any time during the lens movement, do not enter the keep out area.

Appendix C: DMX / ArtNet
C.1.1 DMX Channel Setup 
Each personality has a different number of channels:
•Setup Personality - 38 channels
•Show Personality - 18 channels
•ZAP Personality - 25 channels
It is very important to properly configure the base channel (depending on which personality is used) correctly. 
While the DMX specification allows for device overlapping, this may cause undesired results. Below is a table 
of how projectors should be configured (assuming that all projectors are to be controlled independently and use 
the same personality):
Table C.1 “Show personality” Correct Example Table C.2 “Setup personality” Correct Example
Base Channel All projectors using Show 
Personality(Correct)Base Channel All projectors using Setup
Personality(Correct)
1 Projector 1 (18 ch) 1 Projector 1 (38 ch)
19 Projector 2 (18 ch) 39 Projector 2 (38 ch)
37 Projector 3 (18 ch) 77 Projector 3 (38 ch)
Table C.3 “Show personality” Incorrect Example
Base Channel All projectors using Show
