Can I use
contact closure
to control the

Is the
HOMERUN
Switcher
capable of
controlling
various
projectors?
It is not recommended in
large size systems to
control a projector through
the switcher. It is expected
that a control system is
available to control both
switcher and projector or
projectors independently. If
a control system is not
being used, the switcher
can be connected to the
projector and control
commands can be passed
through the switcher to the
projector. Call Altinex for
programming information.
