4. Getting started
4.5.3.1 Address setting
Projector address
Address installed in the projector to be individually controlled.
Common address
Default address. Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common
address.
Why a projector address ?
As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or
computer. Therefor each projector has its own address.
Set up an individual Projector Address.
The set up of a projector address can be done via the software. .
Projector controlling.
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which can be set in the Installation menu.
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled by :
• RCU for addresses between 0 and 9.
• computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for addresses between 1 and 255.
A projector will respond to a RCU set to the common address ’0’ regardless of what address is set in the projector itself (common
address of projector should also be “0” ).
The RCU is default programmed with address 0 , ’common address’.
If it is necessary to control a specific projector, then enter the projector address into the RCU (only when that
address is between 0 and 9). The projector with the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.
Some projectors may operatre in domestic environments where other equipments may listen to the common
address “0” , therefore the common address can also be set to “1”.
4.5.3.2 Displaying and Programming addresses into the RCU
Displaying the Projector Address on the Screen.
1. Press the Address key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil.
The projector’s address will be displayed in a ’Text box’
To continue using the RCU with that specific address, it is necessary to enter the same address with the
digit buttons (address between 0 and 9) within 5 seconds after pushing the address key. For example : if the
Address key displays projector address 003, then press "3" digit button on the RCU to set the RCU’s address
to match the projector’s address. Do not press 0–0–3 . This will address the remote control to ’0’ and control
all projectors in the room. If the address is not entered within 5 seconds, the RCU returns to its default address
(zero address) and controls the all projectors in the room.
Address 0 (or 1) should always allow communication with the projector since it is a common address.
4.5.4 Controlling the projector
Input Selection
Key in the corresponding slot number with the digit keys on the RCU. The selected source will be displayed.
Picture Controls
When an image control is pressed, a text box with a bar scale, icon and function name of the control, e.g. ’brightness...’ appears
on the screen (only if
Textbox in the Installation menu is ON). The length of the bar scale and the value of the numeric indication
