C	SCP Comm port — The SCP 104 replicates the MLC’s front
	panel controls. You can connect up to two Extron SCP 104

control pads to this port to allow remote control of the MLC 104 controller.

SCPs can be daisy chained. Extron recommends the Comm-Link (CTL and CTLP) cable for these connections.

B	Display RS-232 /IR port — This port is configurable for
	bidirectional RS-232 or infrared signal output control.

From this port, commands sent from a driver or user-defined command strings (entered via the Global Configurator) can be sent to the display device.

For bidirectional RS-232 communication, the transmit, ground, and receive pins must be wired at both the controller and the projector connectors, as shown on the following page.
