Advantages of using RS232 serial communication:
• easy adjustment of the projector via PC (or MAC).
• wide range of control possibilities.
• sending data to the projector (update).
• copying data from the projector (backup).
RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the
characteristics of the communication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-
SUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does
not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of
conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies
component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C,
which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24
standard. Logical '0' is > + 3V, Logical '1' is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition
zone.
7.5 Integrated Cinema Processor (ICP)
In case the projector is equipped with a Barco ICMP(-X) no ICP board is inserted. All ICP
functionality is integrated in the Barco ICMP(-X).
