If you can not find your particular projector model in the "Projector", please do the
following:
Select "Baud rate" and "parity" and input the projector control code. (The baud rate,
parity and control code is supplied by projector's manufacturer, please refer to the
projector manual).
①
② The input format of projector's control code is as follows:
a.If the data is in the numerical value format, please input data directly, block them off
with comma, do not distinguish lowercase and uppercase.
For example: the "POWER ON" code in Hitachi projector manual is :
In the POWRE ON box, Input:be,ef,03,06,00,ba,d2,01,00,00,60,01,00. Then use the
same input rule to input other code.
b.If the data is in the character string format, input 'character string'.
For example: the "POWER ON" code in the SHARP C40/50 projector manual is:
BE·EF·03·06·00 BA·02 01·00 00·60 01·00
P O W E - - - 1

operation panel to control the projector.
The Visualizer provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not match to
your projector's RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional RS232
cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector's RS232 control port. The
pin locations of the Visualizer are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data); the pin 5 is TXD
(Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not defined. The pin location
information of the projector is provided by the projector's manufacturer. The projector's
RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin and GND pin, the name may be
different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown as follows:
Visualizer's RXD pin------------Projector's TXD pin
Visualizer's TXD pin------------Projector's RXD pin
Visualizer's GND pin------------Projector's GND pin
