5.7 Setup of Linked projectors in a Multichannel system
What can be done ?
The user interface of the projector allows to link up to 50 (slave) projectors to a single Master projector. The linking itself is done
through an Ethernet connection (see
Communications ). The ’software’ linking itself is done in the Linked projectors menu of the
Installation menu.
A single dialog box allows to declare (in the Master projector ! ) the 10 slave projectors by their IP address or host name and to set
the following parameters to be controlled by the Master i.e. it allows to add the projector to the different control loops by a simple
check :
• CLO: adding the projector to this control loop will allow the brightness (light output) of the projector to be controlled by the master
• Dynacolor : adding the projector to this control loop will allow the displayed primary and secondary colors of the projector to be
controlled by the Master
This information has to be declared in the Master projector since this projector must know all the projectors it has to talk to.
The linked projector menu in the Slave projectors will remain greyed out.
