8.5.Connecting the DR1
All the functions available via the display menu are also available via the
DR1
(cod.
9703
).
The
DR1
duplicates the display of the projector and eliminates the need for climbing up truss structures to gain direct physical access to
the projector to alter such parameters as
DMX
address, reading outputs such as lamp life, setting master/slave configurations as well as
all other functions available via the digital display unit on the projector.
The
DR1
is a remote device designed for technical users who need to perform tasks on the projectors whilst they may be located in inac-
cessible positions. It acts as a remote control.
In order to utilise the
DR1
remote device, you must first activate the identifying number of the projector
ID
, which must be unique in
the particular DMX universe in which it is currently installed.
The method for setting an identification number
ID
is shown below.
For further information, consult the
DR1
instruction manual.
8.6. Use of RJ45 connector
On panel of
iSpot S
base you find a RJ45 connector , as shown in oicture, that can be used
either for display supply and for software upgrade function.
It’s possible to supply the display through an external battery, and access to menu functions,
without connectinf the unit to the mains.
RJ45 connector can also be used for the connection of
DR1+
, the remote control that allows to
supply the display, to upgrade the software and to access to all the functions that are usually
selectable from the
DR1
.
For more information pls. Read the manual of the different devices.
