							Remote Receiver
The Remote Receiver requires two cables, one to connect the Remote Control to the
Remote Receiver and one to connect the Remote Receiver to the Projector. The 
signal between the Remote Control and the Remote Receiver is Phillips RC5 and
the signal between the Remote Receiver and the Projector is RS232.
The cable between the Remote Control and the Remote Receiver can be up to 10
metres in length and requires a 3.5mm stereo Jack Plug at the remote control end
and a 4 pin LEMO connector at the Remote Receiver end.
The cable between the Remote Receiver and the Projector can be up to 60 metres in
length and requires a male 15-pin High Density ‘D’ type connector at both ends.

							Remote Computer Control
The projector end of this cable must be fitted with a ‘male’ 9-pin D-type connector.
If using a ‘laptop’ computer, the other end of the cable should be fitted with a
‘female’ 9-pin D-type connector (or a ‘female’ 25-pin connector). The cable should
be a standard RS232 serial cable in which all connections are straight through. 
Switcher Control
The connection requirements for the projector end of the switcher control cable are
identical to that for remote computer control. For information on the switcher end of
the cable, please refer to the documentation supplied with your switching device.

							Hard Wire Remote Adapter
The hard wire remote adapter consists of two cables which latch together to connect
the remote control unit to the projector.
The first cable has a male 15-pin High Density ‘D’ type connector at the projector
end and a 3-pole ‘XLR’ audio/video socket at the other.
The second cable has a 3-pole ‘XLR’ audio/video plug at one end and a 3.5mm
stereo Jack Plug at the remote control end.
As the two cables connect together using a standard 3-pole audio/visual connection,
the user can extend the length of the hard wire remote adapter up to a maximum of
100m (330ft) by inserting an ‘XLR’ compatible cable assembly between the two
cables.
