Connect visualizer’s PROJECTOR port to the RGB IN port of the projector port with the RGB cable provided together the visualizer. If you need control a projector with the visualizer, please use the projector RS232 cable (6-pin to 9-pin) to make the connection between the projector and the visualizer. Some projector models may require a converter cable in addition to this standard RS232 cable to connect to the projector control port, for the pin locations and shape of some projectors’ control port connector may be different from the connector of a standard RS232 cable. After the visualizer is connected to the projector, you can control projector’s power on, standby and input selection with the visualizer. (For projectors other than Hitachi, the Code Writing program that comes with the visualizer is required for this function.)

CONTROLLING PROJECTOR BY VISUALIZER

The code writing software is used to inputting projector’s control code, then can control various projector with the visualizer.
1. Connect the visualizer to the projector with the RGB、VIDEO、S-VIDEO cables.
2. Connect the RS232 cable to the computer’s connector. The visualizer’s RS232 port is located on its right side.
3. After completion of the connection, turn on the visualizerclick [start] ->
[All Programs] -> Visualizer -> dialog box appears as below:
and the following
19
Page 20
When the indicator of “Current RS-232 Connection Status” is green, that means the connection between the visualizer and the computer’s RS232 connector is good. If the indicator is red, please check if the RS232 cable is connected correctly. When all the cables are connected correctly, please click “Projector” to select your projector model under the drop-down list, then click “Send”. If you can not find your particular projector model in the “Projector”, please do the following:
1)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)
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 :
20
Page 21
BE EF 03 06 00 BA D2 01 00 00 60 01 00
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 :
P O W E - - - 1
“-“ is space is enter.
In the POWER ON box, input ’POWR 1’, 0d, 0a (Remarks: There are 3 spaces after POWER, 0d, 0a is enter.) Input other codes in the same way. c. If the data is in the numerical value and character format, then synthesize the above-mentioned formats.
3)Once done, click “Add” to add your projector model, then Click “Send”. Afterward, click “Ok”. Now, you can use the visualizer to control your projector.
4. Connect the visualizer’s projector control port to the RS232 port with a RS232 cable(Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first). Then use buttons on the 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

5. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector, please use Code-Writing software’s projector control code testing function to check if the control code is correct. Click “Projector” button, the following dialog box appears as below:
Connect the visualizer to a computer with a RS232 cable (Please disconnect the projector from the RS232 port first) and select the Baud Rate and Parity based on the projector’s Baud Rate, then click the “TEST” button to pop up the Projector Code Test dialog box, input the Baud Rate and Parity based on the projector’s Baud rate, then click “Open”.
Click the projector control buttons on the visualizer’s operating panel to check if the control code that the program received is the same as the sending code. If the receiving code is same to the sending code, the input codes are correct. If the visualizer can not control the projector, please do the following.
22
Page 23
1. Check to see if the source control codes of projector are correct.
2. Check to make sure the connection between the visualizer and the projector is correct.

FOLDING THE UNIT

1. Fold the right arm light down first onto the base, then the left arm down. Rotate the camera head clockwise until the camera head is parallel to the
camera stand.
2. Carefully Fold the camera stand down to the front panel.
