/ terminals
The / terminals of the 
projector conform with RS- 232C so that the projector can be connected to and controlled from a computer .
A combined screen with a balanced contrast can be displayed by linking multiple projectors using the  terminal and the  terminal, and 
sharing the brightness level of the video signal input to each projector when structuring a multi-display screen by 
combining the projected images from multiple projectors. It is also possible to synchronize the shutter operation of 
the specified projector to other projectors.
For the connection method of the projectors when using the contrast synchronization function or the shutter 
synchronization function, refer to “Connecting example when using the contrast synchronization function/shutter 
synchronization function” ( x
  page   54).

Attention
 fIf a command is sent after the light source starts lighting, there may be a delay in response or the command may not be executed.  T ry 
sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.
 f When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the response from the projector before 
sending the next command. When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter , a colon (:) is not necessary

.
Note
 fIf a command cannot be executed, the “ER401” response is sent from the projector to the computer . fIf an invalid parameter is sent, the “ER402” response is sent from the projector to the computer . fID transmission in RS

- 232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 64, as well as 0A to 0Z groups.
 fIf a command is sent with an ID designated, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases. gIt matches the projector ID gID is designated as 

ALL and [RESPONSE(ID ALL)] is set to [ON]
 gID is designated as GROUP

 and [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] is set to [ON]
 fSTX and ETX are character codes. STX shown in hexadecimal is 02, and ETX shown in hexadecimal is 03.
When multiple projectors are controlled
When multiple projectors are all controlled
When controlling multiple projectors together using RS - 232C, perform the following settings.
1)
 
Set a different ID for each projector
 .
2)
 
Set [RESPONSE(ID 
 ALL)] to [ON] in only one projector.
3)
 
Set [RESPONSE(ID 
 ALL)] to [OFF] for all other projectors set in Step 2).
When multiple projectors are all controlled by group unit
When controlling multiple projectors by group unit using RS
- 232C, perform the following settings.
1)
 
Set a different ID for each projector
 .
2)
 
Set [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] to [ON] in only one projector
 .
3)
 
Set [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] to [OFF] for all other projectors set in Step\
 2).
Note
 f Response is not made correctly if [RESPONSE(ID  ALL)] is set to [ON] in two or more projectors. fWhen setting multiple groups, set [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] to [ON] in only one projector in each group.
Response is not made correctly if [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] is set to [ON] in two or more projectors of the same group.
 fWhen using the contrast synchronization function and the shutter synchronization function, control by RS

- 232C is not possible since multiple 
projectors are daisy chain connected in a loop.
