When working with multiple projectors, you may want to use the RS-232 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.
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:
Press 0HQX
and select the Preferences icon. In the Preferences menu, scroll down
to "Projector#" and enter a three-digit number (000 to 999) to identify the current
projector. Press
(QWHU to accept the entry and return to the main menu.
Repeat for each projector, using a unique three-digit number for each. Once
every projector has its own number, you can begin to control the network.
If you are using an IR remote, press
to display an editable window. Enter
the three-digit number you have assigned to the projector you wish to control.
All keypad commands will then affect this projector exclusively until you press
again and enter a different number, or
until you switch to broadcast mode (below).
If you are using a wired remote keypad
(optional) in a network of projectors, make sure that the projector to which the
keypad is connected has its “Broadcast Keys” option checked. Press
to
bring up the editable box. Enter the three-digit number assigned to the projector
you want to control — keypad commands will now affect only the desired
projector until you press
again and enter a different number, or until you
switch to broadcast mode (below).
NOTES: 1) If you are using a computer or controller to issue commands, use the
correct RS-232 software command to gain control of a single projector.
On the IR remote or wired keypad, press
to display the projector box. Press
)XQF without entering a number — the keypad commands will now affect all
projectors.
Make certain that only one projector has its "Broadcast Keys" option selected
(checked) — the remaining projectors should have the option unchecked and
their keypads disabled (do this in Preferences menu). The "Broadcast Keys"
projector will then relay keypad commands to the others. If using a wired
remote, make sure to select the “Broadcast Keys” option for the projector to
which the wired remote is connected.
NOTE: 1) If you are using a computer or controller to issue commands, use the
correct RS-232 software command to broadcast.
