4.6 Projector Address
4.6.1 Controlling the projector
Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.
Common address
Default address. Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common
address.
Why a projector address ?
As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or
computer. There for each projector has its own address.
Set up an individual Projector Address.
The set up of a projector address can be done via the software. See ’Change projector address’ in chapter ’Service mode’.
Projector controlling.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Service mode.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now:
• RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.
• computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 0 and 255.
A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address (’0’ or ’1’) regardless of what address is set in
the projector itself.
The RCU is default programmed with address 0 or 1, ’common address’. With that ’common address’ pro-
grammed into the RCU, every projector, without exception will listen to the commands given by this RCU. If
it is necessary to control a specific projector, than enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that
address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.
Common Address
Every projector has a common address ’0’ or ’1’. The choice between ’0’ and ’1’ can be selected in the Service mode.
