RS232/RS422 input
The communication interface of the XDL series projector supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication on
two different types of input connectors, a Sub-D connector and an USB connector acting as RS input when
connected to an USB input of a PC.
You can use the RS232/RS422 input to connect a local PC to your XDL series projector. By this way you can
configure and control your projector from your local PC.
Advantages of using RS232/RS422 serial communication:
• easy adjustment of the projector via PC (or MAC).
• allow storage of multiple projector configurations and set ups.
• wide range of control possibilities.
• address range from 0 to 255.
• sending data to the projector (update).
• copying data from the projector (backup).
