Loading Projector Drivers

A sub-folder under the System 5 folder is used to store the user’s library of projector drivers.

To view which commands are in a particular driver, without loading it, launch the System 5 control software in Emulation Mode (instead of selecting a Comm port). You

will be asked to select from a list of drivers. Double-click the Drivers folder to open it and select a projector. Each driver (.5cr) loads the IR commands for that projector into the System 5 memory. During normal operation, certain System 5 functions will send out associated IR signals to the projector.

Figure 4-8. Example of the Drivers Folder containing Projector drivers, with IR codes.

Another example for using this folder would be to load the driver for a different projector. This could be the user’s own driver library. Downloading from Extron’s web library is explained on page 4-4.
