020-100164-01 Rev. 1 (01/08)

FOR GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS:

A serial link of RS232 or RS422 enables ASCII

communication with the

Cine-IPM 2K

so that it can be controlled remotely from a

PC or other controller. From a PC, connect a standard 9-wire RS232 serial cable to
the

RS232 IN

port located on the

Cine-IPM 2K

front panel. Or, for long-distance

(>100 ft.) links with an RS422-compatible PC or controller, connect RS422 cable to
the

RS422

port.

FOR SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS:

Download new software to the

Cine-IPM 2K

via

either serial link.

NOTE:

Using an Ethernet link for downloading new software to the projector is not

supported.
