Mounting  
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen 
installation, one method may be more suitable than another. In typical front and rear 
screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface, such as 
a table or cart. Carts are useful when the projector has to be moved during a 
presentation or...

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...

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...

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...

SETTING THE PROJECTOR’S IP ADDRESS: Upon connection to most Ethernet 
networks, each projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network’s 
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically assign 
an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the...
