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 THE VISUALIZER FROM THE COMPUTER
You can control the visualizer from a computer connected with a RS232
connector.
A. Connect the computer and the visualizer with the RS232 cable.
B. Double click X:\ 232 Control\Control Panel (you can open this file from
the CD and double click it, or copy this file to any directory on your
computer’s hard drive and double click to launch it).
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 visualizer,click [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 00BA 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.
