Connecting to an HDBaseT Transmitter

To send an HDMI or RS-232C signal over a long distance, you can connect the projector to an optional HDBaseT transmitter using a 100Base-TX network cable. This is useful when you want to send a signal to or control the projector from a remote location, such as in a hall or event site, since you can use a network cable up to 328 feet (100 m) in length. To ensure proper data transmission, use a Category 5e STP cable or better.
1. Turn off the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: Make sure the projector and HDBaseT transmitter are turned off when connecting or disconnecting a network cable between the two devices.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the HDBaseT port on the transmitter.
3. Connect the other end to the projector's HDBaseT port.
Note: See the documentation that came with the HDBaseT transmitter for instructions on connecting it to your video device or computer.
39
Page 40
4. Turn on the projector and HDBaseT transmitter.
Note: To enable communication from the Ethernet and serial ports on the transmitter, select On as the Control Communications setting in the projector's Extended menu. Turning on this setting disables the
projector's LAN and RS-232C ports. If you connected an Extron XTP transmitter or switcher to the projector's HDBaseT port, select On as the Extron XTP setting in the projector's Extended menu.

Connecting to an External Computer Monitor

If you connected a computer to the projector's Computer port, you can also connect an external monitor to the projector. This lets you see your presentation on the external monitor even when the projected image is not visible.
To output images to an external VGA monitor, set the Monitor Out Port setting to Monitor Out in the projector's Extended menu.
If you want to output images to an external monitor when the projector is turned off, you need to select
Always On as the A/V Output setting in the projector's Extended menu.
Note: Monitors that use a refresh rate less than 60 Hz may not be able to display images correctly.
1. Make sure your computer is connected to the projector's Computer1 port. If there are two computer
ports, make sure you use the Computer1 port.
2. Connect the external monitor's cable to your projector's Monitor Out port.

Secure HTTP

You can use the HTTPS protocol to increase security between the projector and a web browser communicating with it. To do this, you create a server certificate, install it on the projector, and turn on the Secure HTTP setting in the projector menus to verify the reliability of the web browser.
Even if you do not install a server certificate, the projector automatically creates a self-signed certificate and allows communication. However, because the self-signed certificate cannot verify reliability from a web browser, you see a warning about the server's reliability when you access the projector from a web browser. This warning does not prevent communication.
