2.9.4 Connect RS-422
To control the projector with a computer or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 
serial communication cable between the controlling device and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is 
better suited than RS-232, for serial communication over distances greater than 50 feet.
Use the RS-422 port only if your device has RS-422 capability. Always consult
the literature...

Section 2: Installation and Setup
For example, you may want to use both an RS-422 compatible controller and an Ethernet connected PC for 
working with a network of projectors linked via their RS-232 IN/OUT ports.
To isolate just RS-422 communications, select RS-232 and Ethernet Joined. Only projector 1 will respond to 
the RS-422 controller.

2.9.10Configuring 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...

2.11 Connect Sources
Sources are connected to the input panel located at the back of the projector. The Input Panel allows one image 
processor board and up to 4 input cards to be inserted. The input cards are hot swappable, meaning they may be 
plugged in and out while the projector is active. The image processor should only be replaced when the 
projector is off or when it is in standby mode.
There are 6 option...

2.11.3Analog BNC Input Card
This card accepts several types of sync modes. In 5-wire sync mode all 5 BNC connectors are used. If H and V 
connectors are swapped, this card will still operate normally. An analog graphic source such as a VGA from a 
PC can be connected. The card can operate in 4-wire sync mode, which accommodates 4-wire RGBC sources. 
The composite sync cable can be connected to either the H/C BNC or...

2.11.6Video Decoder Input Card
This card accepts and decodes standard definition (SD) video. This includes CVBS (composite video), S-
Video, and component sources. This card supports as many as 6 video signals, four of them on BNC 
connectors and two on 4-pin mini-DIN connectors. Each mini-DIN connector accepts 1 S-Video signal. The 
first BNC accepts composite video (only), while the remaining three BNC’s can be...

Wiring Requirements
A distribution box or digital signal switcher may be used to feed the same video signal to all the units of the 
tiling array. 
FIGURE 2-7 USE OF DISTRIBUTION BOX
Christie loop-through may be used to set up a tiling array (see Figure 2-7 to Figure 2-12). The system allows 
wiring (providing the HDCP requirement is met) when HDCP is used by the source. The cascade...
