    Figure 2.11 Connecting RS-422 
    eTheRneT CoMMUnICaTIons
    To  add  the  projector  to  an  existing  Ethernet  network  with  other  equipment  such  as  controllers 
    and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your Ethernet controller (or 
    hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector.
    Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0.0 
    will  automatically  enable  the  DHCP  function  (if  available  on  the  network)  to  assign  a  new  IP 
    address  that is valid  and  unique for that network.  Or, if there is no DHCP function  available  on 
    the	network	 (or	if	a	 specific	 static	IP	address	 for	the	 projector	 is	preferred	 or	required),	 you	can	
    set the address in the Ethernet Settings menu or via an ASCII serial command.
    Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it will respond 
    to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP address, consult the 
    Information or Communications  menus.
    Refer to  Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector connected via 
    Ethernet.

    ConneCTIng Rs-422
    If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device with RS-422 
    capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the computer and the RS-422 
    port  on  the  projector  (see  Figure  2.11).  RS-422  is  better  suited  for  serial  communication  over 
    long distances then is RS-232 communication. 
     Use  the  Rs-422  port  only  if  your  device  had  Rs-422  capability  –  always  consult  the 
    literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Connecting to the Rs-422 
    port with incompatible equipment could damage your projector.

    seTTIng  The  PRojeCToR’s  IP aDDRess:   Upon  connection  to  most  Ethernet  networks, 
    each  projector’s  factory  default  IP  address  of  0.0.0.0  triggers  the  network’s  DHCP  (Dynamic 
    Host	 Configuration	 Protocol)	server	function	 to	automatically	 assign	an	IP	address	 that	is	valid	
    and unique for use on that network. Depending on the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address 
    usually  remains  stable  for  a  single  session,  but  may  change  with  subsequent  power-ups  and 
    logins. On some networks, the address will remain stable from session to session. In all cases, 
    the  projector’s  IP  address  and  port  appear  in  the  Information  menu  as  well  as  the Ethernet 
    Settings submenu. See Figure 2.12.
    Figure 2.12. Setting the Projector's IP Address
    Note that if a projector’s IP address is anything  other than 0.0.0.0  (shown as 000.000.000.000 in 
    the  Ethernet Settings menu) upon connection to an Ethernet network, or if DHCP is not available 
    on the network, the automatic DHCP server function for supplying a valid and unique IP address 
    to	 the	 projector	 is	disabled.	 Instead,	a	specific	 and	static	 IP	address	 must	be	defined	 in	projector	
    memory—enter the new address in the  Ethernet Settings submenu, or send to the projector via 
    a  serial  command. The  IP  address  will  be  in  effect  until  it  is  changed  again,  or  until  the  DHCP 
    checkbox is re-enabled for use with a DHCP server on the network.
    Section	2	►	Installation	and	Setup
    ChangIng The PoRT#:	 On	some	 Ethernet	 networks,	 firewall	restrictions	 may	require	 that	the	
    port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new port number 
    in  the  Ethernet  Settings  menu  or  include  the  new  port#  in  an  XIP  serial  command  sent  to  the 
    projector. It is highly recommended not to use a port# below 1000, as these ports are typically 
    reserved for and used by common IP applications. 
    sUbneT  MasK  anD  DefaUlT ga TeW aY:  The  Subnet  Mask  and  Default  Gateway  are 
    automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, it must be assigned 
    before  the  subnet  mask.  The  Default  Gateway  is  an  optional  router  device  used  to  send  and 
    receive data outside the subnet.
    By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller — RS232 vs. RS422 vs. 
    Ethernet — stay on the corresponding network path. A “Separate” setting indicates this separation 
    for  “Network  Routing”  in  the  Communications  menu.  If  you  are  using  an  RS422  controller,  for 
    example, it will communicate only with the projector to which it is connected unless you change 
    this setting to either “RS232 and RS422 Joined” or “All Joined”\
    .

    The GPIO connector on the input panel can be used to provide a method of interfacing a wide 
    range of external I/O devices to the projector. 
    Refer to Appendix D: System Integration for complete details on pin configuration and how to 
    program the various pins on the connector.
      The  north  american  rated  power  cord  is  provided  with  each  projector.  ensure  that 
    you are using a power cord, socket and power plug that meets the appropriate local 
    rating standards.
    Plug  the  power  cord  to  the AC  receptacle  located  at  the  back  of  the  projector,  below  the  input 
    panel, and the three-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet. Ensure the socket outlet is installed 
    near the equipment and is easily accessible. The input voltage to the projector must be capable 
    of 100 – 240 VAC in 500W and 1000W models and 200-240VAC in 1200W models.  (See also 
    Section 6 – Specifications  for complete details on all power requirements.)
    Use  the  approved  North  American-rated  power  cord  supplied  with  the  projector.  If  you  are 
    connecting to an area outside of North America ensure an appropriately power cord rated for the 
    region of use is used. 
    always power down the projector before unplugging the  aC power cord. Wait 5-10 minutes 
    for	 the	 main	 exhaust	 fan	to	turn	 off	and	 for	the	 lamp	 to	cool	 sufficiently	 before	unplugging	 the	
    projector. 
     W aRnIng 
    Do not attempt operation if the  aC supply and cord are not 
    within the specified voltage and power range.
    Wait for the cooling fans to turn off before unplugging the projector.

    This  section  explains  how  to  effectively  operate  the  projector  once  it  has  been  installed.  It  is 
    recommended  that  you  read  this  section  and  familiarize  yourself  with  the  components  and  the 
    available	menu	options	before	you	begin	using	your	projector	for	the	first	time.
    The built-in keypad is located at the back of the projector, beside the input panel. Use it similarly 
    to the IR remote to control the projector. A status LED display is also included on this keypad for 
    monitoring projector status.
    The AC  receptacle  is  located  at  the  back  of  the  projector  just  below  the  input  panel.  Use  this 
    outlet  to  plug  in  an  appropriately  rated  power  cord.  Refer  to  Section  6  — Specifications  for 
    details.
    Located on the underside, and on top with the (i) models, of the projector are four fully adjustable 
    feet. Raise or lower these feet when positioning the projector to ensure it is level on all sides so 
    the displayed image will appear rectangular without any keystone. 
    Refer  to  Section  2  -  Projector  Position  and  Mounting  (
    Adjusting  projector  height)  for 
    instructions on how to adjust the projector’s feet. 
    The  projector  is  built  with  a  motorized  lens  mount  that  allows  for  easy  lens  control  and 
    adjustment. This includes such functions as adjusting vertical and horizontal offsets, zoom and 
    focus.	 The	lens	 mount	 can	be	fitted	 with	any	one	 of	the	 available 	optional	 lenses	–	see	 Section 
    6  —  Specifications.
    zooM  anD  foCUs
    •   —  There  are  two  internal  lens  motors  that  allow  for  quick  motorized 
    adjustment	 of	zoom	 and	focus.	 Adjust	 zoom	to	fit	the	 displayed 	image	 on	the	 screen	 and	
    adjust focus to improve the clarity of the image.
    lens  offseT
    •   —  Vertical and horizontal offset is performed on the lens mount through the 
    use of DC motors.
     shUTTeR
    •   —  Standard  on  all  models  the  shutter  allows  you  to  turn  the  screen  absolutely 
    black  when  in  the  “on”  state.  Press  the  ‘mute’  button  for  1-2  seconds  on  the  remote  to 
    operate the shutter.
    IRIs
    •   —  Enables adjustment of light output and contrast ratio.
    noTe:  Use the lens cap when transporting the projector to avoid scratching and damaging the 
    lens, which could affect your displayed image.

    to  InPUT 3, and S-Video to  InPUT 4. Any of the available optional modules can be installed in 
    InPUT 5 and/or InPUT 6.
    There is no status display on the input panel. The only status display is part of the built-in keypad 
    located at the rear of the projector.

    oved.
    The two IR sensors located on the projector receive transmissions from the IR remote from up 
    to  100  feet  away.  It  is  important  to  keep  the  transmission  path  to  these  sensors  unobstructed 
    for uninterrupted communications with the projector. The Front IR sensor is located next to the 
    projector’s  nameplate  and  the  rear  IR  sensor  is  located  at  the  back  of  the  projector  just  above 
    the status LED display.
    The  lamp  door  is  located  at  the  back  of  the  projector,  which  provides  easy  access  to  the  lamp 
    module for replacement. See  Section 4 for lamp replacement procedures.

     laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. Do not look directly into the beam of the remote.
    The projector can be controlled using one of the following keypads: Built-in Keypad 
    •  located at the back of the projector
    Remote Keypad
    •   for tethered or tether-less control up to 100 feet away (includes cable for 
    use as a wired remote)
    While each of the keypads provides complete control of the projector, they differ slightly in their 
    arrangement of keys and in what functions can be accessed directly with a key press rather than 
    requiring	 use	of	the	 menu	 system.	 You	may	 find	one	 keypad	 more	convenient	 than	another	 for	
    your	specific	installation	and	application.	
    noTe:  The  remote  keypad  has  a  single  IR  protocol  and  can  be  converted  to  a  wired  remote 
    by  connecting  the  cable  provided  with  the  projector  to  the  3.5mm  mini-stereo  jack  labeled  as 
    ReMoTe on the input panel.
    To control the projector when signals from a remote keypad cannot reach the projector, use the 
    projector’s  built-in  keypad  (Figure  3.1).  The  nearby  LED  display  provides  feedback  indicating 
    current  status  and  activities  of  the  projector,  (see  Table  3.1).  Because  the  built-in  keypad  has 
    fewer keys than the remote keypad, certain projector functions are accessible only through the 
    menu system rather than via a direct key.
    noTe: The built-in keypad cannot be disabled.
    Refer to the key descriptions provided for the IR remote – see Figure\
     3.2.
    The IR remote keypad controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a battery-
    powered  infrared  (IR)  transmitter.  Use  the  IR  remote  keypad  the  same  way  you  would  use  a 
    remote keypad supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key presses, direct the keypad either 
    toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of the two IR sensors on the 
    projector will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal pr\
    ocessing.

    Section	3	►	Operation
    You  can  convert  the  IR  remote  into  a  wired  remote  keypad  using  the  cable  provided  with  the 
    projector.  Connect  one  end  into  the  remote  and  the  other  to  the  mini  stereo  connector  on  the 
    input panel labeled as ReMoTe. The wired remote is recommended when:
    The built-in keypad is inaccessible
    •	
    The lighting conditions are unsuitable for proper IR transmission
    •	
    noTe: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser key ( 
      ) to work. 
    Keep in mind the following guidelines: Press	keys	one-at-a-time;	there	are	no	simultaneous	key	combinations	required.
    •	
    Note that the three keys — Power
    •	
     
    , Shutter Shutter and OSD OSD are “press-and-hold” 
    keys that do not function with a typical quick press-and-release key pre\
    ss (see Figure 3.2).
    Hold  arrow  keys  down  for  continuous  adjustment/movement  in  one  direction.  In  serial 
    •	
    networks,	 pause	briefly	 between	 adjustments	 to	ensure	 that	other	 devices	 can	“keep	 up”	
    with the commands.
    If you press a key while the projector is still responding to the previous action, such as during 
    •	
    power-up, the second key press may not take effect.
    Specific	keypad	commands	are	explained	below:
    PoWeR on/off
    Press  and hold  
     for two seconds or press twice quickly to toggle the projector (on) or (off) 
    with a single keystroke. Or press and release 
     followed immediately by   (on) or
             
    (off) to guarantee the correct toggle (useful if you are unsure of the pr\
    esent state). 
    noTes: 1) After powering down, the lamp cooling fan remains on for approximately five minutes 
    to cool the lamp.  2) It is a good idea to avoid turning a projector back on until it has been off for 
    a few minutes. Hot re-strikes of the lamp may reduce lamp life.

    Press Contrast to change the amount of white in your images. Use   keys until you reach 
    the  desired  level  of  contrast  —  for  best  results,  start  low  and  increase  so  that  whites  remain 
    bright  but  are  not  distorted  or  tinted  and  that  light  areas  do  not  become  white  (i.e.,  “crushed”). 
    Conversely, low contrast causes dim images. See  3.5, Adjusting the Image (Picture Adjustments 
    subsection).

    Press 
    Bright  to increase or decrease the amount of black in the image. Use 
      keys until 
    you  reach  the  desired  level  of  contrast—for  best  results,  start  high  and  decrease  so  that  dark 
    areas  do  not  become  black  (i.e.,  “crushed”).  Conversely, overly  high  brightness  changes  black 
    to dark gray, causing washed-out images. See  3.5, Adjusting the Image (Picture Adjustments 
    subsection).
    gaMMa
    “Gamma”  determines  how  gray  shades  are  displayed  between  minimum  input  (black)  and 
    maximum input (white) for a given amount of signal. The proper setting helps maintain optimized 
    blacks  and  whites  while  ensuring  a  smooth  transition  for  the  “in-between”  values  utilized  in 
    grays. Unlike brightness and contrast controls, the overall tone of an image can be lightened or 
    darkened without changing the two extremes and your images will be more vibrant yet with good 
    detail in dark areas when using the Gamma control.
    The	 normal	 gamma	 setting	of	2.2	 is	correct	 for	most	 video	 and	2.6	for	film.	 If	excess	 ambient	 light	
    washes	 out	the	image	 and	it	becomes	 difficult	or	impossible	 to	see	 details	 in	dark	 areas,	 lower
