Using Multiple

Section 3: Operation

 

3.7

Using Multiple

 

There are two methods of communicating with multiple projectors, using the IR

 

keypad or RS-232 serial communication. These methods are not interchangeable.

 

 

Projectors

 

 

 

 

It is recommended that you choose the method which will best suit your

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

installation and setup your network for this type of communication.

 

 

 

 

For details on how to operate the projector using RS-232 commands, go to

 

 

 

 

www.christiedigital.com and download the latest RS-232 communications

 

 

 

 

document for RPMX/CX50/CX60 and CX67 products.

Assigning a Projector ID

' Make sure you have assigned a unique projector ID number for each projector

Number

 

 

 

 

 

present – this number is required in order to get the exclusive attention of an

 

 

 

 

individual projector with the IR keypad or by RS-232 serial communication. To

 

 

 

 

assign a projector number:

 

 

 

1.

Press Menu to see the Main menu.

 

 

 

2.

Highlight and select Communications. The Communications menu appears.

 

 

 

3.

Scroll down to Projector ID. The two-digit number is the ID currently

 

 

 

 

 

assigned to the projector. To assign a new number, press Enter to see two

 

 

 

 

 

dashed lines, “- -” and enter the new two-digit ID number using the numeric

 

 

 

 

 

keys on the keypad.

 

 

 

4.

Press Enter to accept the entry and/or Exit to exit the menu or cancel. See

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 3.25, earlier in this section.

 

 

 

5.

Press Status to verify that the ID number for the projector was changed.

 

 

 

 

 

Continue this for each projector in your network.

Broadcasting to All

 

Projectors (with keypad)

' When you want to communicate to all projectors in a network, press Projector and

 

ensure the option All Projectors is set to YES for each projector. (Press Enter to

 

toggle the setting, if required.) Exit the menu and verify that all projectors will

 

respond to a command by pressing a key, such as Menu on the keypad.

Controlling One Projector

' You can switch between communicating with all projectors and one specific

(with keypad)

 

projector by pressing Projector and toggling the option All Projectors from YES to

 

NO. With All Projectors set to NO, the Projector ID option is selectable. The

 

number here identifies the projector that is currently listening to IR keypad

 

commands. All keypad commands you enter will then affect this projector

 

exclusively until you enter another ID number or switch back to broadcasting to

 

all projectors. If you want to specify another projector, highlight Projector ID

 

and press the Enter key until a double dashed line appears “--”. Using the

 

numerical keys on the keypad enter the 2-digit ID number of the projector you

 

want to communicate with. Press Enter to save the new ID number before exiting.

 

NOTE: All projectors will respond to the Projector key even when All Projectors is

 

set to NO. The number under Projector ID is not necessarily the ID of that

 

projector but that of the last projector you had exclusive communication with.

 

Press Status to see the ID number assigned to a projector.
