LCD Projection Control Software for
Windows
The LCD Projection Control Software is a highly integrated
application that allows you to effectively manage and control your
BARCO Retro Projectors via your PC. It includes a robust feature
set that allows for direct control of all of the projector's functions
via an RS232 serial cable. It allows for the simultaneous control
of groups of projectors. The software is invaluable during staging
events because it allows the control of menu functions directly
without displaying menus that can be disruptive during your
presentation. Thus allowing you to fine tune the projected image
during a show as the video signal changes. It also provides
valuable assistance in the setup of the projector with its handy
Lens Calculator feature.
The software offers the following features:
Direct access control
Direct access control allows you to control a group of projectors
or a single projector in an easy way. In direct access, all changes
produce an immediate result. This means that you can control
the displayed image (e.g. brightness, contrast, ...) as if you are
using the local keypad or the remote control. In direct access you
can also control all other projector parameters such as geometry,
audio, and format.
On-line file control
A BARCO projector stores display settings for every type of input
(PAL, NTSC, VGA, SVGA, ...) in a projector file. The projectors -
Source Number 90 - 99
These source numbers do not correspond to physical inputs. They
can only be used when the projector is equipped with a RCVDS 05 or
VS05. An additional adjustment file can be created for these source
numbers. This file can contain different settings. The relationship
between sources 0 - 9 and 90 - 99 is shown in the diagram below.
Follow the steps below to create a second file for sources 0 to 9 :
1. Select the source between 0 and 9.
2. Select the corresponding source number between 90 and 99 with
the digit keys on the RCU.
3. Enter the adjustment mode and load a corresponding file. Edit this
file if necessary.
4. Save the file and exit the adjustment mode.

The Software allows you to edit, rename, copy and delete
projector files in an easy and user-friendly manner.
Off-line file control
Off-line control allows you to perform actions on files that are
stored on your PC.
These files can have different origins: they could have been
retrieved from a connected projector, or you could have created
them with the Software.
The LCD Projector Control Software allows you to manage (copy,
rename and delete), edit or create, and translate projector files
that are stored on your PC. You can also compare two projector
files or list the contents of a projector file.
Database
The LCD Projector Control Software requires that you first open
or create a database before you can use the control features.
The Software works with a database that contains information
about the following:
- Communication settings.
- Projectors in the database (group).
- Contents of the projector files.
You can create different databases with different groups of the
same projectors.
LCD Projector Control Software Package
