RS232 projector control
The Mirror Head control unit offers the possibility to send some basic remote control commands to the projector using the RS232 interface.
1.
Make sure the projector is turned on and accepts RS232 commands corresponding to the RS232 compatibility list in the appendix.
2.
The commands are sent to the projector whenever a specific DMX value is sent on the specific DMX channel – see DMX fixture chart.
NOTE: It is maybe necessary to insert a
DMX / XLR termination plug (with 120
Ohm) in the last unit in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX
data link – please ask your DMX operator.
NOTE: If you change the IP address of the
unit you have to replug the CAT cable in
order to avoid ARP / IP caching of some
intermediate switching equipment
