ILDA Test Pattern
ILDA DB-25 Operation
For ILDA operation you must have a Pangolin LD2000 card or another ILDA standard laser show control
system. The connection from the PC to the Laser projector is made with a DB-25 cable. When connecting
for the first time make sure that the cable is “straight through” so that pin 1 connects to pin 1 and pin 25
connects to pin 25 and so on.
1.
Connect the PC to the projector with the DB-25 cable.
2.
Start your laser show software. Project a test pattern and adjust the scanning parameters
appropriately.
3.
Please note that if you are scanning full-size at 30K the image may become distorted as the ILDA test
pattern will only project correctly full size at 18K without distortion.
4.
The color balance controls on the back of the unit are intended only for DMX/USB/Sound active modes
of operation. When using ILDA signal the color balance feature has no effect. Make any desired color
adjustments through your laser show software. I.E. For Pangolin users you will need to adjust color
response through the “Palettes” feature.
5.
If your projector is equipped with CTI 6210 scanners, you will get the most accurate imagery using 18k
scan speed.
DMX Control
Control features
Your projector’s DMX feature is capable of being controlled from a DMX-512 controller.
The projector utilizes the effects on your SmartMedia Card. To learn more about CypherLiteUSB, please
refer to the CypherLiteUSB Manual on the Software Disc.
Connecting your projector to a DMX-512 Controller DMX-512 uses a three-pin cable similar to XLR or
Microphone leads. We recommend that you use DMX designated cables only as the use of XLR or
Microphone leads can affect the operation of your projector.
1)
Determine the length required to run between the projector and the controller.
2)
Using DMX Cable, connect the male end to the controller and the female to the projector.
3)
Address your projector accordingly so that it corresponds with projector’s profile address on your
controller.
4)
Apply power to both the controller and projector. You are now able to control the projector via
your controller.
