Network Operation
Up to 1000 projectors can be linked together in a  chain with the ‘OUT’ port on one connected to the 
‘IN’ port on the next. A controller connected to the ‘IN’ port on the first projector can control them 
all, either by broadcasting messages which have no address and are thus seen by all projectors, or 
by directing messages to specific projector addresses. 
To work with a specific projector in a group, th e projectors must first be assigned a unique I.D.—
either a projector number or an Ethernet IP addr ess. Insert the number of the target projector 
between the starting ‘(’ and th e three-character ASCII code.
Message for Specific Projector
Each projector compares the message address with its own address and, if matching, responds and 
processes the message. If the address does not match, the message is passed on until it reaches 
the intended projector. 
Although messages without an address are always broadcast, you can also broadcast by including 
the reply destination address 65535. This ensures that replies go to a specific controller address 
rather than being broadcast. The projector also includes its address. 
Message for Projector from a Specific Controller
If you have more than one controller on a network,  ensure to include both a source address and a 
destination address. With a single controller on th e network, its address is never required. Place the 
source address between the destination address an d three-character code, including a space before 
and after as shown.  NOTE: Replies from a projector do not contain an address unless the request 
message includes both a destination address and  a source address—such as, a reply to a request 
having only a destination address does not have any source address.

Description Of Control Types
Subclasses
• Power Down Controls:  These controls are accessible when  the projector is in Standby power 
mode (such as power off) as well as when powered on.
• Power Up Controls:  These controls are only accessible when the system electronics are fully 
powered (not necessarily lamp on).
Control Groups
• Unsaved Controls:  These controls are not saved to flash. The settings are not maintained 
between power sessions.
• Saved Controls:  These controls are saved to flash. The settings are persistent between power 
sessions.
• Preference Controls:  These controls are transferable from one projector to another. Example: 
NET+SUB0 (projector subnet).
• Configuration Controls:  These controls are projector specific settings. They are non-
transferable between projectors. Exampl e: NET+ETH0 (projector IP address).
Access Levels
•Operator: Command is available at the operator level log in.
• Advanced:  Command is available at the advanced operator level log in.
• Admin:  Command is available at the administrator level log in.
• Service:  Command is available at the service level log in.

GPIO Port
This section explains how to use a GPIO link from  the projector to external equipment, such as 
devices for 3D synchronizing. The GPIO port locate d on the input panel provides a flexible method 
of interfacing a wide range of ex ternal I/O devices to the projector. There are seven GPIO pins 
available on the nine pin D-Sub GPIO connector, which are configurable through RS232 commands. 
The other two pins are reserved for ground and power — see table below for pin identification. The 
serial cable required for connecting the external device to the projector’s GPIO connector, must be 
compatible with the external device.
GPIO Pins

Configure GPIO
The GPIO connector can be configured to automate any number of events using the serial command 
code  GIO. See  GIO–General Purpose Input/Output  on page 6. Each pin is defined as either an input 
or output depending on the desired outcome. Co nfigure the pin as an input if you want the 
projector to respond to something the device does an d 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 powered 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 +3.3 V. A low st ate (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 gro und. This corresponds to a switch closing event.
Example
Turn room lighting on when the projector is powered Off (assumes a control/automation unit is 
configured to power the lights On when pin 2 of its input goes high).
i 
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 an d 4 configuration to output and pin 6, 7, 8 and 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 and 4 are inputs, pins 6, 7, 8 and 9 
are outputs.
Pin
Pin Open (0 or L)
Closed (1 or H)
