Functionality
1
Diagnostic LEDs
The front plate of the Cinema Controller contains 4 diagnostic LEDs to display the status of the power supply (reference
6
image 7-8):
• +VTEC supply (not used on DP2K-S series projector).
• +24V supply.
• +12V supply.
• general power supply (ERROR).
2
USB IN port
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “B” connector, (reference 5 image 7-8) to connect upstream devices
(E.g. PC). This USB port is used to communicate with the projector via RS232 commands (Virtual comport). The USB
IN port remains operational in Sleep mode.
3
USB OUT port
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “A” connector, (reference 4 image 7-8) which can be used to power
handheld devices within USB spec (MAX 500mA/5V]. No other functionality supported (Future expansion). The USB
OUT port remains operational in Sleep mode.
4
3D INTERFACE
3D interface port (reference 3 image 7-8). Can be used to connect external 3D devices to the projector. All signals necessary
for 3D projection can be provided via this connector. The 3D interface port is disabled if the projector is in Sleep mode.
5
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)
This 37 pin connector (reference 2 image 7-8) can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other devices. These
input/output pins can be programmed by macros created with the Communicator software. See user’s guide of the
Communicator, section Macro editor, for more information about this functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs
accept 24 volt maximum. The GPIO remains operational when the projector is in Sleep mode. So, if the factory prede
fi ned
macro to wake up the projector is assigned to one of the free GPI input pins the projector can be awakened via GPIO.
Enter or leave Sleep mode can also be done with GPIO via two prede fi ned Macros (not editable).

Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T)
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T) with built-in Ethernet switch. Use for projector control and automation
(not for content streaming).
The DP2K-S series projector can be connected to a LAN (local area network) using one of the Ethernet ports (reference 1
image 7-8). Once connected to the LAN, users can access the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their
company network using the Communicator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP
server or the user can insert the correct IP-address to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and
manipulate all the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and
very simple operation. The network connectivity allows detection of potential errors and consequently improves service time.
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when they are on an Ethernet network, an Ethernet switch is built in. the
incoming network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way a ’star’ network
interconnection can be avoided. The switch used is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet switch. This assures no
in
fl uence on the network speed. Furthermore, this Ethernet switch remains operational when the projector is in Sleep mode.
