4. Connecting cables

To superimpose two images onto one screen, the same image must be input to the Main and Sub projectors. There are various methods to input the image to the projectors. This chapter describes the ways of connecting the cables. Read this chapter to find a method that meets your needs.

NOTE • If Simple Stack without an RS-232C connection is used, the Main and Sub projectors described below do not exist. Main in this chapter is read as one projector and Sub as the other projector.

For details on the specifications of the input ports, refer to Connecting with your devices (Operating Guide Setting up) and Connection to the ports. (Operating Guide - Technical)

4.1 Connecting an RS-232C cable

If you are using Intellectual Stack, connect an RS-232C cross cable between the CONTROL ports on the Main and Sub projectors. (8) This connection is not required if you are using Simple Stack.

NOTE • If the RS-232C cable connecting the two projectors operating in Intellectual Stack is disconnected, the projectors will exit from Intellectual Stack and start to operate individually. Intellectual Stack will not restart even if the cable is reconnected. Follow the procedures below to restart Intellectual Stack.

(1)Do not operate the projectors for more than 10 seconds after disconnecting the cable to allow the projectors to recognize the disconnection of the cable.

(2)Turn off both projectors and allow them to cool sufficiently.

(3)Reconnect the two projectors with the RS-232C cable and turn them on again. Intellectual Stack will restart.
