Connecting Multiple Projectors
RS-232 NETWORK: To connect multiple projectors in a network with serial communication:
1) Connect the controlling source to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network.
2) Using another serial communication cable, connect one end to the RS-232 OUT connector and the other end
to the RS-232 IN connector of the next projector.
3) Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network. NOTE: The last projector in the network
will only have a connection to the RS-232 IN connector.
• Mixed Network
To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an RS-422 interface:
• 1. Set them all to the same baud rate as your RS-422 controller. NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS-
422 and RS-232 in the Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS-232 and RS-422
Joined”, see Section 4 Web User Interface.
• 2. Chain the projectors together by connecting an RS-232 OUT (Null Cable) of the first projector (already
connected to the computer/controller through the RS-422 port straight thru to an RS-232 IN on the next
projector in the chains). Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in
the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused port RS-232 OUT, see Figure 2-22 Mixed Network.
Mixed Network
Communication parameters, such as baud rate, must be set to match the particular controlling device, before
connecting as a network—refer to the documentation that came with your controlling device to determine the proper
baud rate. See Section 3 Operation for help changing the projector baud rate. To communicate to all projectors, set
the Network Routing to “RS-232 and RS-422 Joined”.
NOTES:
1) Connect only properly wired serial communication cables.
2) Each RS-232 communication cable should be no more than 50 feet in length. Use high quality cables.
• Ethernet Network Setup
To add one or more projectors to an Ethernet network, use standard CAT5 cable to connect each projector’s
Ethernet port to a hub belonging to the network. A controller or PC must also be connected to the hub, see figure
