NOTES: See Appendix F, Optional Input Modules for a brief description of each interface.

As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO communications to the projector, all described below.

Remote Keypads '

Serial Port Connections '

As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote keypad towards the display screen or the projector’s IR sensors. Alternatively, connect a wired (tethered) v ersion of the rem ote to the mini stereo connector labeled

REMOTE on the projector’s input panel. Note that

response to a wired keypad must also be enabled in the Communications menu—see

3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for more information.

There are two types of serial ports available on the projector: RS232 and RS422. You can connect a device with a serial interface, such as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial communication commands.

Connecting RS-232

The two 9-pin DIN connectors labeled RS232 IN and RS232 OUT on the input panel are dedicated to serial communication. Using the appropriate serial communication cables (see Appendix C) connect the controlling source, such as a personal computer to the RS232 IN connector. Then set the baud rate to match that of the computer. Refer to Section 3 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.5. Connecting RS232

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. 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 has RS-422 capability – always consult the literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Connecting to the RS422 port with incompatible equipment could damage your projector.

Connect a RS422

device only.

Figure 2.6. Connecting RS422

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.

RPMSP & CSP70-D100U User’s Manual 2-5

Section 2: Installation and Setup

CONNECTING TO A PC: If you are connecting the Ethernet port directly to a PC (rather

than a network or hub), make sure to use a crossover Ethernet cable. Keep in mind that an Ethernet link cannot be used for downloading a software upgrade to the projector—use RS232.

Figure 2.7.

Connecting Multiple

Projectors

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 Status or Communications menus.

Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector connected via Ethernet.

RS-232 NETWORK: If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with serial

communication, connect the controlling source to the RS232 IN connector of the first projector in the network. Then take another serial communication cable and connect one end to the RS232 OUT connector and the other end to the RS232 IN connector of the next projector. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network. The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS232 IN connector. See Figure 2.8.

2-6 RPMSP & CSP70-D100U User’s Manual

Section 2: Installation and Setup

Figure 2.8. RS232 Network

MIXED NETWORK: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an

RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller.

NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS232 and RS422 Joined”. See Section 3 for details.

Then chain the projectors together by connecting an (already connected to the computer/controller through the

RS232 port of the first projec tor

RS422 port) to an RS232

port on the next projector in the chain. Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused

RS232 port. See Figure 2.9.

Figure 2.9. Mixed Network

Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the particular controlling device before connecting as a network—refer to the documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the proper baud rate. See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls if you need help changing the projector baud rate. In addition, set the Network Routing to “RS232 and RS422 Joined” if you want to reach all projectors.

NOTES: 1) To avoid damage, connect only properly wired serial communication cables. See Appendix C for details. 2) It is recommended that each RS232 communication cable be no more than 25 feet in length. Use high quality cables.

RPMSP & CSP70-D100U User’s Manual 2-7

Section 2: Installation and Setup

ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP: To add one or more projectors to an Ethernet network,

use standard CAT5 cable to connect each projector’s Ethernet port to a hub belonging to the network. A controller or PC must also be connected to the hub. See Figure 2.10.

Figure 2.10. Typical Ethernet Network

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 Status menu as well as the Ethernet Settings submenu. See Figure 2.11

Figure 2.11. 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 E the rnet Setti ngs 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.

NOTES: Only the port and IP address of the projector can be changed. The subnet mask is fixed (255.255.255.0).

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.

2-8 RPMSP & CSP70-D100U User’s Manual

arating Networks '

Section 2: Installation and Setup

By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS232 vs. RS422 vs. Ethernet—stay on the corresponding network path. This separation is indicated by a “Separate” setting 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”.

Communicating to '

ll Ports

To relay all messages to all ports—RS232, RS422, and Ethernet—set the “Network Routing” option in the Communications menu for each projector to “All Joined”. This configuration is useful if you are using a non-RS232 controller with the RS232 linking available between these projectors. For example, you may want to use both an RS422compatible controller and an Ethernet-connected PC for working with a network of projectors linked via their RS232 in/out ports (Figure 2.11).

Figure 2.12. Joining All Networks

To isolate just RS422 communications, select “RS232 and Ethernet Joined”. In Figure

2.12, only projector #3 will respond to the RS422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet communications, select “RS232 and RS422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond via Ethernet.

General Purpose Input Output

2.3 System Integration -

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.

Section 2: Installation and Setup

2.4 Power Connection

Plug the line cord to the AC receptacle located in the bottom left corner of the Dual Lamp Module (DLM), and the 3-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet. The input voltage to the projector must be capable of 100 - 240 VAC. (See also Section 6 – Specifications for complete details on all power requirements.)

Use the approved North American-rated line cord supplied with the projector. If you are connecting to an area outside of North America make sure you are using an appropriately rated line cord.

Always power down the projector before unplugging the AC line cord. Wait

approximatley10 minutes for the lamps to cool sufficiently before unplugging the projector.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are

not within the specified voltage and power range.

Section 3

Operation

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.

3.1 About the Projector

Refer also to the Installation Guide setup information.

The projector’s modular architecture is best suited for control room and mission critical environments where ease of servicing is a must and down time must be kept to a minimum. A brief description of each module has been provided in this section. Knowing your projector will help you in times where troubleshooting is necessary.

Figure 3.1. Identifying Projector Components

Projection Head Module (PHM)

The PHM module is the centermost module of the projector. It contains the projection lens (0.7:1 or 1.16:1), IR sensor, color wheel, DMD and other optical components. It also provides the electrical interfaces required to drive these components.

provided with your projector for installation and

The PHM is connected to the adjacent DLM module. As an assembly, the two modules are mounted to the 6-axis adjustment mechanism. With a quick changeover in mounting brackets the PHM can be removed, rotated 90°, and re-mounted for rear screen projection applications where a first surface optical mirror is used.

Dual Lamp Module (DLM)

The DLM connects to the adjacent PHM module by a specially designed coupling that allows rotation of the PHM module only This module houses the two 100W UHP lamps, two lamp drivers, a 390V high voltage power supply (HVPS) and cooling fans.

RPMSP & CSP70 User’s Manual 3-1

Section 3: Operation

The DLM is designed to remain in a horizontal position and does not get

rotated 90° like the PHM when the configuration of the projector is changed.

AC RECEPTACLE - Connect the appropriately rated line cord supplied with the

projector to the AC receptacle on the DLM. Before unplugging a projector, allow the cooling fans to turn off.

LAMPS - Two, 100W UHP lamps are housed in this module and are

accessible by opening the lamp doors located at the top. Before replacing a lamp, read the procedure and safety and warning guidelines provided in Section 5.

Electronics Module (EM)

The EM module contains the main electronics and input connectors of the projector. It is vertically mounted to the tray using a separate mounting bracket. Also located on this module are two, 7-segment windows. The projector’s status and any 2-digit error code will be displayed in this window. In addition to the numeric readout, there are two decimal points in the display: the right decimal point flashes when the projector receives a command, and the left point flashes when the projector sends a command.

6-Axis Adjuster

The projector provides the ability of modifying the geometry of a displayed image using the uniquely designed 6-Axis adjustment mechanism. This mechanism is shipped from the factory in a nominal position and can be adjusted using a 3/16” ball driver. All adjustments made to the adjuster can be “locked” into place by tightening the lock screws and setscrews. Instructions and tools required to adjust the 6-axis can be found in the User’s Kit.

3.2 Using the Remote Keypad

Keypad Commands '

IR Remote '

Laser radiation is emitted from the laser diode in the remote. Do not look

directly into the beam of the remote.

The projector is controlled via an IR remote keypad. The keypad accesses various menus in which settings can be changed and saved into memory (called channels). There are 50 channels in which you can store customized settings for various sources.

The IR remote keypad provided in the User’s Kit provides the user with wireless control of the projector of up to 100 feet away. The most effective method of operating the projector is by facing and pointing the keypad directly at the screen. There is only one IR sensor that picks up the transmissions of the keypad and it is located just below the lens. It is important to keep the transmission path clear because any obstruction will limit if not prohibit transmission of commands.

NOTE: This keypad has a single IR protocol and can be converted to a wired remote by connecting the cable provided with the projector to the mini stereo connector labeled as

REMOTE on the input panel.

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 of the projector.

3-2 RPMSP & CSP70-D100U User’s Manual

Section 3: Operation

The IR sensor on the projector will detect the signals and relay the commands for internal processing. See Figure 3. 2.

Wired Remote '

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 lighting conditions are unsuitab le for prop er IR transmission

• you want to use a separate keypad for each projector in a group

NOTE: Leave the batteries in the wired remote for the laser key ( ) to work.

The proper setting helps maintain optimized blacks and whites while ensuring a smooth transition for the “inbetween” values utilized in colors and grays. Thus, unlike brightness and contrast settings 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.

The normal gamma setting of 2.5 is correct for most signals and conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will improve contrast ratio while maintaining good details for blacks.

Numerical Values '

3.4 Using Inputs and Channels

Do I Select an Input ' Or a Channel?

Enter numbers directly from the keypad in order to specify numbers representing projectors, channels (source setups), or slots. As each digit is entered, it is displayed and the cursor moves on. Note that channel numbers are defined with 2 digits—for example, if you enter only a single digit (such as “7”) for a channel number, the channel will automatically be defined as “07”. Enter “07” to utilize this channel.

NOTES: 1) Once you enter the first digit, this digit replaces all old digits. 2) If you press any non-numbered key, the number entered up to that point is accepted and

Exi t

updated as the new value. 3) Press

to cancel editing of numerical values.

NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for a full explanation of how to connect sources to the projector.

The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 50 different channels (source setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory feature allows you to define and conveniently use a wide variety of customized setups rather than having to repeatedly re-configure the projector for different presentations. Depending on what you have defined, each physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several different channels associated with it.

INPUT – An input is a source physically connected at the projector.

Input 4

, or

Input 5

describes the source signal according to which input slot it is connected.

Input 1, Input 2

Input 3

SWITCH TO AN INPUT IN EITHER ONE OF TWO WAYS – Pressing the appropriate direct

key —

Input 1, Input 2

Input 3, Input 4

, or

Input 5

— is a quick and seamless way to display from one of the five inputs connected to the projector. Or, if the “Numbers Select Main Image” option found in the PIP menu is enabled, press

numbers 1-5 on the keypad

With either method, the image will be displayed according to the following:

If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did not define a channel by adjusting anything), the projector will recognize the new input signal based on its frequencies and polarities, and will automatically display an image according to default settings for such a signal. In general, the default fills the screen as fully as possible. This and other default image settings depend on the incoming source.

If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter such as contrast, V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory (see below).

If more than one channel exists for the input, the im ag e will be displ ay ed according to the setup parameters for the first channel with matching characteristics.

If PIP is enabled, an input key changes the PIP (secondary) image only. To switch the main input, use the keypad number keys with “Numbers Select Main Image” activated.

NOTES: 1) For more information on Numbers to Select Main Image, see 3.7, Working with PIP or Seamless Switching.

Section 3: Operation

CHANNEL - A channel is a collection of measurements, locations and settings that

tailor the display of a signal to your specific needs. Since source types and applications can vary greatly, you will likely want to adjust and define a wide variety of parameters, such as brightness, contrast, size, etc., in order to customize and optimize the display from or for a particular source. For example, the display settings you choose for a VCR source may be very different from those you choose for a high resolution computer source, or one signal may simply vary from another signal used previously through the same input location. Once you have adjusted a display parameter, such as pixel tracking or contrast, all current settings are collectively stored in the projector’s memory as a unique 2-digit channel, such as

You can have

numerous distinct channels available for the same input, any of which can be selected by using the

key on the keypad followed by the 2-digit channel number.

. This is typically called

the channel list.

NOTE: The

Chan nel

or not, depending on what you have defined for “Display Channel List” (see Menu Preferences later in this section).

In order to access channels by using keypad, you must first create the channels. See below.

Creating a New ' Channel – AUTOMATIC –

To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to projector memory so that the projector will respond properly to an input signal from that source in the future. A new channel can be created automatically, as described here, or it can be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary (see Copying or Deleting Channels later in this section).

When you select a direct input ( existing channels are searched for matching input and signal parameters. If no match to the incoming input signal is found, a new channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of signal. The channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 1-50.

NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed, and will not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If two channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.
