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.

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.
