F80, F90, HDX 4K, UDX, ...
• The RC5 protocol have to be use all other Barco projectors: HDX W, HDF W, HDQ 2K, ...

Remark with RC5 protocol
Not all buttons of the Pulse RCU are one-to-one compatible with the legacy Barco RCU. Button pairs
SHUTTER open/close and POWER on/off emit the same code (per pair) when in RC5 mode, because the
legacy RCU
’ s only had 1 button for Shutter and 1 button for Standby.
