Kodak 5020, 9020 Simultaneous Projection, With the Kodak Ektapro Twin Socket Adapter accessory

Simultaneous Projection

1.With the KODAK EKTAPRO Twin Socket Adapter (accessory)

You can connect two projectors in parallel using the Twin Socket Adapter and an EKTAPRO Twin Socket Connecting ca- ble (accessory). The adapter is inserted into the remote control socket (25). The cable connects the Twin Socket Adapter with the remote control socket of the sec- ond projector (see illustration).

You control the projectors with the cable remote control as shown in the drawing. The connection of the IR receiver is also possible. However, this can only be con- nected to the receiver with the 8 m exten- sion cable (accessory).

If you have another Twin Socket Adapter you can connect up to three projectors in series. (You can connect up to five projec- tors but electrical interference can affect the synchronisation.)

2.Using the KODAK EKTAPRO IR Re- mote Systems

Several EKTAPRO Projectors can be op- erated simultaneously when each projector is equipped with an EKTAPRO IR Receiver

(available as accessory, see page 35).

3.With the EKTAPRO Dissolve Cable (accessory)intheMASTER/SLAVEcom- bination (EKTAPRO7020and9020)

Press <970> and <*> on your IR remote control and both projectors are in parallel- mode. You can find further information on the MASTER/SLAVE combination in the separate manual.

Notes:

This mode should only be used for slide change purposes! The focus operation will occur on all projectors in parallel!

Ensure that all receivers and the transmitter are set to the same channel!

EKTAPRO 4020/5020/ 7020/9020 Projector: Dissolve and multi- projection mode

Your EKTAPRO Slide Projector is fully equipped for dissolve and multi-vision op- eration. The following options are availa- ble for controlling the projector:

a)You use the dissolve which is a built-in feature of models 7020 and 9020 and can do a 2 projector dissolve in the easiest and fastest way possible. The second projector canbeanEKTAPRO4010,4020,5000,5020, 7000, 7010, 7020 , 9000, 9010 or 9020. You can find further information in the separate manual.

b)Connect one of the many dissolve units on the market to your EKTAPRO projec- tors. You will need to choose between systems which are fully installed in the AV slot (EKTAPRO 7020 and 9020) and ones which are connected to the P-bus interfac- es.

c)You can also connect dissolve units whicharedesignedfortheKODAK CAR- OUSEL S-AV or EKTAGRAPHIC projec- tors (see "compatibility", p. 30).

d)You can also connect the projectors directly to a computer. See next section for further information.

EKTAPRO 4020/5020/ 7020/9020 Projector: Operation with Personal Computer

Your EKTAPRO Projector can be connect- ed directly to any PC with a standard inter- face RS232 via the P-Bus-in (21) (9-pin sub D socket). For connection use a simple monitorcable(1:1,shielded)!

With the help of the communications lan- guage P-COM Protocol, commands are given directly to the projector’s micro-proc- essor and information from the projector is received. Commands are transferred in bi- nary code.

Slide shows can, for the first time, be com- pletely controlled from a computer with P- COM Protocol.

Sixteenprojectors(EKTAPRO7020or9020), in all, can be controlled independently. In this instance all projectors will be addressed by setting the address switch (23). Only the first projector is connected to the PC; the other projectors are daisy-chained. Anoth- er RS232 interface must be attached to the PC if further projectors are required.

Note:

There is already professional software on the market for controlling the projectors. You can obtain the addresses from your local Kodak dealer. Some Kodak addresses can be found on the back of these operating instructions.

Users who are familiar with computer programming can request a brochure from Kodak (P-COM Protocol) in English on the binary coding of the various commands and the correspond- ing computer configuration.
