Model 200 Configuration Data Export / Import Procedure 
 
Rev 1.0.0 
 
This appendix defines the steps to perform a Configuration Data Export & Import from the Model 200 
projector to a Host Computer. The Host Computer can be any system that has RS232 download and upload 
capability, including an IBM-PC compatible, an Apple MacIntosh, or a UNIX system. This paper describes 
the procedures for an IBM-PC running the Windows 3.1 OS. We will use the Windows “TERMINAL” 
application for communication with the projector. Other Terminal emulation programs can be used 
(ProComm, .), but all testing has been done with the TERMINAL application. 
 
Note 1:  The TERMINAL application setup is the same as for controlling the projector via an ANSI 
TERMINAL (see Model 200 User’s Guide, Section 4.11). 
 
Note 2:  Export/Import can be performed on either Port A or Port B.  The Port must be configured for 
ANSI Terminal. Port A speed is determined by DIP SWITCH #4 on the System Controller board.  DOWN 
is 9600 baud, UP is 19200 Baud.  Port B can be configured for 2400, 9600 (default), or 19200 through the 
Comm Setup Menu.  If both Port A and Port B are ANSI Terminals, PORT A must be used for 
Export/Import, so to use Port B, set Port A Device = None or Switcher, Port B Device = ANSI.  
Remember to Power Off (Control+P) and HW RESET (Push RESET button -figure 5-1 in Service 
Manual- or Circuit Breaker-on rear panel) after changing any configuration parameters.  
WARNING:  If you use 19200 Baud, your computer must have a 16550 UART installed on the Comm 
Port. An unbuffered  8550 UART will lose data during EXPORT. This data loss cannot be detected until a 
later IMPORT is attempted. Use 9600 if you are not sure. In all cases use  SOFTWARE FLFOW 
CONTROL (XON/XOFF). 
WARNING:  Laptop computer users must disable Advance Power Management (APM) during an Export. 
APM power pulling causes loss of data.  
EXPORT 
 
1. Make sure the Windows TERMINAL program is configured for SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL 
(XON/XOFF). A corrupt Export file will result if SW flow control is not used. 
2. Choose the directory and filename for saving the Export Data. The Windows TERMINAL: 
Transfers: Receive Text File... dialog box will default to the c:\windows directory and no file.   
Create a directory (like \TEMP) (or have an existing one in mind) before starting the export 
process.

   Glossary Of Terms 
Amorphous Without definite form; not crystallized. 
Arc Lamp The xenon arc lamp in the Model 200 projector. It 
operates at high temperatures (160° to 200°) and 
produces dangerously intensive light with 
hazardous levels of ultraviolet and infrared 
radiation. 
Aspect Ratio The ratio of the picture width to picture height. 
The standard U.S. television aspect ratio is four 
units wide to three units high (4:3). High Definition 
Television (HDTV) is 16:9. 
Bandwidth The transmission or reception capacity of a 
computer or communications channel measured 
in bits per second in digital and in Hertz in 
communications. Bandwidth is the difference 
between the lowest and highest frequencies 
transmitted or received. Wider bandwidth 
provides more information or picture detail 
capability. 
Chrominance Abbreviated as C.  Color information signal or 
signals. 
Cold Mirror Mirror that absorbs infrared light so that its 
reflection contains only cold light that does not 
transmit appreciable heat.  As a result of this 
absorption of infrared heat radiation, cold 
mirrors get quite hot. 
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) The vacuum tube used as a display screen in 
video terminals or television sets.  Commonly 
called the picture tube. 
Dichroic Mirrors The white light of the xenon arc lamp is separated 
into red, green and blue by means of dichroic 
mirrors which reflect only one color and pass all 
others. 
Field One half of a complete video frame. Odd lines in 
one field and even lines in another make up one 
frame.  
Frame One complete TV picture or screen of 
information. It is composed of two fields and has

Hue Also referred to as tint.  A specific color such a 
blue, pink or aqua.  Hue or tint control on a 
display device adjusts red/green balance. 
Ignitor Provides a momentary high voltage to excite the 
gases in the Xenon Arc Lamp to ignite. 
Image Light Amplifier  A device that uses low-intensity images to phase 
ILA® modulate a high-intensity light through a liquid  
 crystal layer. It is a key component in 
 producing very bright, high resolution images 
 from Hughes-JVC large-screen projectors. 
Image Mirror Directs the blue and red images toward the 
 Combining Prism. 
Interlacing The technique that refreshes a display screen by 
alternately displaying all the odd lines (field one) 
and then all the even lines (field two) of one 
frame. 
I/R Windows The Series 200 Projector has two I/R windows, 
one in front, one in back.  These windows receive 
projector control signals from the I/R remotes. 
Lamphouse Dock The housing that contains the Ignitor, the Laser 
Power Supply, and the Arc Lamp assembly. 
Laser Power Supply Provides boost voltage through a spark gap to the 
Ignitor.

Luminance Abbreviated as Y.  The portion of the signal that 
contains the black and white information, which 
affects brightness. 
Noise An undesirable electrical interference of a signal.  
Overscanning Displaying less than the complete area of an 
image to a viewer (i.e., scanning beyond the 
visible area).  All TV sets are overscanned at 
least slightly, so that viewers do not see blanking. 
Raster The area illuminated by the scan lines on a CRT. 
Resolution The degree of sharpness of a displayed or printed 
character or image;  the amount of detail in a 
picture.  On a display screen, resolution is 
expressed as the number of horizontal dots 
(columns) by the number of vertical lines (rows).  
For example, a 680 x 400 resolution means 680 
dots across each of 400 lines. 
Retrace The blanked-out line traced by the scanning 
beam of a picture tube as it travels from the end 
of any horizontal line to the beginning of either 
the next horizontal line or field.  The beam is 
turned off during retrace. 
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) Refers to the method of recording and generating 
colors in a video system.  On a television or color 
monitor, colors are displayed as varying 
intensities of red, green and blue dots.  When 
red, green and blue are all turned on high, white 
is produced.  When all dots are turned off, the 
base color of the screen appears. 
Rollbar Assembly Assembly where the front and rear cover are 
hinged to. Used to hold covers in place. 
S-VHS A high band video recording process for VHS that 
increases picture quality and resolution capability. 
S-VHS tape machines use a special output 
terminal which allows separate output of 
luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) picture 
information to monitors equipped with S-Video 
inputs. 
S-Video A video signal that has the luminance (Y) 
information separated from chrominance (C) 
information.
