OPERATION
General Notes about Programmable Events
1)All events are ignored if Programmable Events is set to Off in the
Preferences menu ( UTIL 5 ).
2)The projector must be turned on for programmable events to take place.
3)Be careful not to schedule two events so close to each other such that the second event is scheduled to begin before the first event is complete; other- wise the second event may be ignored. For example, do not schedule an event to take place one minute after a full ACON
4)If the projector is not at operation level when an event is scheduled to begin, that event will be ignored unless operation level is returned within the minute that that event is to take place.
5)An error or “invalid” message is temporarily displayed at the bottom of the feature box when an entry is invalid or does not make sense.
6)“Error” in an Enabled field indicates an invalid entry for that event.
7)Events scheduled at the same time are performed in the order listed in the Programmable Events feature box. Events never occur simultaneously.
About Channel Up/Down Events ...
Channel Up/Down events are handled differently than other events. A Channel Up or Channel Down event is continuously repeated at the time interval set by the Interval field. The process begins at the start time set by the Start field. This feature is provided for applications such as surveillance or status display systems where multiple sources are sharing one projection dis- play. For example, a bus terminal may use this feature to display a number of different bus schedules, each displayed for ten seconds at a time.
To use this feature, a number of video sources must be fed to the projector or a connected switcher. Each source is assigned to a channel in the Channel List. The U/D status of each of these channels must be enabled in the list – see the Channel List entry in this section for details. Within the Programmable Events feature box, the event type is set to Channel Up or Channel Down. The interval and start time is entered and the event is enabled by setting a check mark in the Enabled field. When the event is enabled and the start time is reached, the projector begins cycling through the enabled channels in the Channel List. Each
Note: If during Channel Up/Down cycling you press a key to make an adjust- ment or change a projector setting, the channel cycling process pauses until you return to operation level. If you manually select a different channel, channel cycling will resume from that channel.
