timer will reset to “0”. Lamp Mode and Lamp Limit remain as they were for the
previous lamp, and can be changed at any time.
NOTE: Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will
help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours
logged on the lamp will be accurate.
IMPORTANT
Always DO record the serial number of a NEW lamp.
This read-only menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional
components currently in use on the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of
hardware (left side) and software (right side) installed, the number of lamp hours
logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your
projector model name and serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the
current channel, switcher, slot and frequencies.
Use ON , OFF , or

(SAMPLE)
When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 or RS-422
serial ports to chain the projectors together in a network that you control from either a
keypad or a computer/controller (see 2.9, Serial Port Connections). Or you may prefer
that each projector stands alone, in which case you will probably use a single IR
remote keypad. In either case, you can switch back and forth between broadcasting to
all projectors or controlling each projector individually.
Advanced controls for critical color and light output settings can optimize the
appearance of a multiple-screen environment
Make sure you have assigned a unique projector number to each projector present —
this number will be required in order get the exclusive attention of an individual
projector. To assign a projector number:
