VI. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. ON/OFF switching

The RCVDS05 is switched ON and OFF using the power (mains) switch ON/OFF on
the front of the RCVDS05.

pressed : ON
not pressed : OFF

B. "BEEP" indication

Each time a button on the front panel is pushed , a single "beep" sound will be
generated by the RCVDS05. This single "beep" sound indicates a correct action.

A double "beep" sound indicates an incorrect command, e.g. selecting a source
without an installed input module for this source number or pushing on a not used key.

The "beep" sound can be toggled "off" and "on" by
pushing simultaneously the "+" and "-" prefading
buttons. The "beep" indication ON/OFF is memo­rized by the RCVDS05. Each time the RCVDS05
is switched on, it loads the latest saved "beep"
indication.

C. Numbering of the sources.

The RGB analog, RGB Tri-level sync analog and the Component Video inputs occupy
one source number. The Video/S-Video input module occupies 2 source numbers,
one for the S-Video source and one for the Video source as both sources are
simultaneously available.

C.1. One RCVDS05.

The RCVDS05 counts its own inputs (free and occupied slots) starting with slot 1 (left
most slot when viewing the backside).
Each empty slot before the last occupied slot will be counted by the RCVDS05 as one
source number.

Some examples will explain the above :
Example one : RCVDS05 equipped with 5 input modules :

slot 1 : RGB analog input module
slot 2 : Video/S-video input module
slot 3 : RGB analog input module
slot 4 : Video/S-Video input module

C.2. Multiple RCVDS05's.

The source number counting starts with slot 1 of the first RCVDS05. It counts all
source input slots of the first RCVDS until it finds the expansion module. The counting
will be continued with slot 1 of the next RCVDS05.

Note : the expansion module must always be located after the occupied input slots.
Never insert an expansion module between two inputs, otherwise an error will be
displayed (see chapter "Error codes").

If there are free slots between the last occupied slot and the expansion module, these
slots will be taken into account to calculate the source numbers.

Proceed as follow :

- Select a source.

- Adjust the audio pre-fading with the "+" and "-" pre-fading button. The adjusted level

During an adjustment, the RCVDS05 will display a number between 1 and 10 followed
by a point.

E. Operating the RCVDS05 with the central computer.

The RCVDS05 can be controlled by a central computer when using :
* the Projector Control Software. With the simulated RCU on the computer display,

image settings and source selections are possible.
or

* a custom written program. Therefore, the communication protocol is given.

E.1. Communication protocol.

As already explained each RCVDS05 should have an unique address. The commu­nication-settings are defined as fommows: -Baudrate 9600

- no parity

- 1 stopbit

- 8 Databits
When transmitting data from the computer to the RCVDS05, the transmission is
started using the STX byte(02H). After the STX byte, an address byte is transmitted
by the computer. All RCVDS's and Projectors compare this address byte with their
own address. The one which recognises its address will interpret the following bytes
and execute the commands requested by the computer.

If 02H (STX) appears in the data bytes following STX, the RCVDS05 or Projector
which did not recognise their address will be confused. They might interpret the
following bytes in a wrong way, reacting unpredictably.
To avoid this, a protocol is used which avoids the appearance of 02H (STX) in the
data bytes.

The protocol introduces an offset byte in the transferred bytes OFFS.
ADRo, DAT1o...DATno are bytes which are "encoded" in a way that none of them is
equal to 02. Their relation with the original bytes is :

ADRo = ADR + OFFS
DATio = DATi + OFFS

STX start byte
ADR addresss byte
CMD command
DAT1 Data byte 1
DAT2 Data byte 2
DAT3 Data byte 3
DAT4 Data byte 4
CHKS Check sum

R5975765 RCVDS05 020997

59

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Where the CHKS is : (ADDR + CMD + DAT1 + DAT2 + DAT3 + DAT4)MOD256.
Only the least significant byte (MOD256) of the sum (ADDR + CMD + DAT1 + DAT2

+ DAT3 + DAT4) is used for the checksum.
Because the number of bytes used in a transmission is always smaller than 254, we

are sure that we will always find a byte OFFS so that all the encoded bytes and OFFS
are different from 02.

IMPORTANT : If only 1 RCVDS or projector is connected to the PC, than always
OFFS = 0 may be used, which makes it easier to send the command

A possible solution to find OFFS and checksum :{}
#define STX '\x02'
unsigned char find_offacs (unsigned char *pstart_loc)

{ /* find offset and check sum */

/* pstart_loc : pointer to record to be scanned */

int count;
int check[256]; /* check[i] == TRUE means code 'i' occurs in record */
unsigned checksum;

checksum = 0; /* initialize checksum */
for (count = 0; count <=255; count++) /* init code checking array * /

check[count] = FALSE
for (count = 0; count <6; count ++) /* scan codes in record */
{ check[pstart_loc[count]] = TRUE /* mark in checking array */

checksum += pstart_loc[count]; } /* build checksum value * /
checksum %= 256; /* keep least significant byte */
check[checksum] = TRUE /* mark in checking array */
for (count = 1; check[count] == TRUE; count++);

/* search checkin array : */
/* skip value 0 and continue as long as code 'count' is marked TRUE */
pstart_loc[6] = (byte) checksum; /* store checksum in record */
return ((unsigned char) (STX-count)); /* offset=STX-not_occuring_code */
}

CMD is the command given to the RCVDS05 with address ADR. DAT1-4 can contain
additional information, however, this information is not always used.

Format sent from PC to RCVDS

STX OFFS ADRo CMDo DAT1o DAT2o DAT3o DAT4o CHKSo

Because only the signals RxD and TxD are used for the communication, there is no
way to detect if there is a RCVDS05 or projector listening and if it receives the data

R5975765 RCVDS05 020997

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For communication from RCVDS05 to computer, there is no acknowledgement
available. However there is only communication in this direction after a request is sent
from the computer to the RCVDS05. It is important that when the computer asks the
RCVDS05 for information that it is able to immediately receive the data from the
RCVDS05.

The RCVDS05 returns an ACK byte if it has received the data correctly or a NAK byte
if the received data is not correct. If no RCVDS05 is responding, then no byte is
returned.

Computer to RCVDS05 :

RCVDS05 to computer :

How the RCVDS05 answers

When the computer communicates with the RCVDS05, it is possible that the
computer requests for data from the RCVDS05.

Example :
computer to RCVDS :

STX OFFS ADRo CMDo DAT1o DAT2o DAT3o DAT4o CHKSo
The RCVDS answers ACK
ADR CMD DAT1b DAT2b DAT3b DAT4b CHKSb
With : ADR = ADRo - OFFS

CMD = CMDo - OFFS
CHKSb = (ADR + CMD + DAT1b + DAT2b + DAT3b + DAT4b)MOD256

The RCVDS05 will always return its own address and the received command to the
computer. The computer checks these bytes as an extra control.
No offset is used in the RCVDS-answer.

E.2. The Command Codes.

"Category I" commands

These commands are keyboard or RCU commands.
bytes DAT1, DAT2, DAT3, DAT4 don't care.

The RCVDS answers only ACK or NAK

Record (9
bytes)

correctly. Therefore, the communication works with an ackowledge protocol using
the standard ASCII bytes ACK and NAK (06H and 15H). This protocol is only active
for communication from computer to RCVDS05.

This action is exactly the same as pressing key 5 on the RCU or the frontpanel of the
RCVDS05.

Another example : how to switch the RCVDS to source 12.
Example : RCVDS-address = 03
To switch the RCVDS05 to soruce 12, we have to send key 1 and then within 2
seconds key 2. This is exactly the same as pressing on key 1 and then key 2 on le
local keyboard or remote control.

send key 1 :

02 00 03 11H 0 0 0 0 14H

offset 0 is permitted

RCVDS answers 06 (ACK)

send key 2 :

02 00 03 12H 0 0 0 0 15H

RCVDS answers 06 (ACK)

If we should use 10H for the offset, then we should have for sending key 1 :

Example : 3 RCVDS05's linked and connected to one display, no decoder installed.
The mode switches are set in the RS232 mode.
The output module of the first RCVDS05 has to be programmed when a Video or S­Video source is selected and no decoder is installed in the selected RCVDS. If a
decoder is installed in the selected RCVDS, the output module of the first RCVDS has
not to be programmed.
If a component video or RGB analog source is selected, these signals are available
on the output module of the first RCVDS05 on the R, G, B BNC's.

Actions to be taken by the computer :

- select the expansion module in the first RCVDS and in the second RCVDS (with the
cat. I commands).

- select an input module in e.g. the third RCVDS05 (also cat. I commands).

- Read with the command Read_Source (4AH) the source type in the 3th RCVDS.
The returned bytes DAT1 and DAT3 give information about the source type and the
decoder availability.
If a Video or S-Video source is detected, the output module of the first RCVDS05 has
to be programmed for Video or S-Video.
With the information from READ_SOUCE, the output module of the first RCVDS05
can be programmed with the CONTROL RCVDS function (62H) as described above.

VII. ERROR CODES

During operation, the RCVDS05 can display several error codes on its seven
segment display.

The F error codes ask for an intervention by the operator himself.
The E error codes ask for a service intervention by your dealer. Call your BARCO

dealer for technical assistance.

Error F1 : expansion module is not in correct slot.
Power down the RCVDS05 and remove the expan­sion module. Re-insert the expansion module in the
last free slot of the RCVDS05 so that all input mod­ules are located to the left of the expansion module.

Error E1 : I²C error, call for technical assistance.

Error E2 : I²C error, PCF8574 fails on communication
module, call for technical assistance.

Error E3 : I²C error, Controller eeprom (24C16), call for

OPTIONAL DECODER

Order number : 98 28030
A decoder can be installed for Video, S-Video or Component Video decoding. All

signals are converted into RGB. The decoder must always be installed in the master
RCVDS05. So, in a multiple RCVDS05 installation, only one decoder has to be
installed.

Attention : When multiple RCVDS05's are used in the RS232 mode, every RCVDS
where decoder operations have to be done, must be equipped with such a decoder.

S-Video, Composite Video and Component Video with separate sync are converted
into

RGBS

analog.

Component video, with sync on Y is converted into

RGsB

.

Example : Two RCVDS05's linked in BARCO mode. Video source connected to the
second RCVDS05.
The video signals will be transported from the second RCVDS05 to the first
RCVDS05.
The first RCVDS05 will decode and convert the Video signals into RGBS. These
RGBS signals will be available on the output module of the first RCVDS05.

A. RCVDS05 with decoder, connected to a projector.

If the projector software is adapted to receive converted signals from a RCVDS05, the
decoder inside the RCVDS05 will always be used even when the projector itself is
equipped with a decoder.

B. RCVDS05 with decoder, used as stand alone switcher.

The decoder settings will be 'memorized' per input source in the master RCVDS05.
During an adjustment, the RCVDS05 will display a number between 0 and 99 for
saturation and hue (tint) and -3, 0, 3 or 6 for sharpness.
