Functionality
1
Diagnostic LEDs
The front plate of the Cinem a Controller contains 4 diagnostic LE Ds to display the status o
f the power supply:
• +VTEC supply (not used on DP2K-S series projector).
• +24V supply.
• +12V supply.
• general power supply (ERROR).
2
USBINport
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a US B port, type “B” connector to connect upstream devices (E .g. PC). This USB
port is u sed to communicate w ith the projector via RS23 2 commands (Virtual comport).
3
USB O UT port
The Cinema Controller is equipped with a USB port, type “A” connector which can be used to p ower handheld devices within
USB spec (MAX 500m A/5V]. No other functionality supported (Future expansion).
4
3D INTERFACE
3D interface port can be used to connect ex ternal 3D devices to the projector. All signals necessary for 3D projection
can be p rovided via this c onnector.
5
GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO)
This 37 pin connector can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other devices. These input/output pins can be
programmed by m acros cr eated with the C om munica tor software. See user ’s guide of the C om mun icator, section Mac ro
editor, for more information about this functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs accept 24 volt maxim um. If the
factory predefined macro to wake up the projector is assigned to one of the free G P I input pins the projector can be
awakened via GPIO.
6
Wide Area Network (WAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN: 10/100/1000 bas e-T). Us e this Ethernet port (reference 6 image 7-8) to connect the network
which contains the DHCP s erver.
Once connected to the WAN, users can ac cess the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company
network using the Co mm unicator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or
the user can insert the correct IP-address to access the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all
the projector settings. Remote diagnostics, c ontrol and mo nitoring of the projector can then become a d aily and very simple
operation. T he network connectivity allows detection of potential errors and consequently improves service time.
7
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T)
Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 ba se-T) with built-in Ethernet switch (port I and po rt II). Use for projector control and
automation. E.g. Touch Panel, content server, ... (not for con tent streaming!)
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors w hen they are on an Ethernet network, an Ethernet sw itch is built in. the
incoming network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way a ’star’ network
interconnection can be avoided. The switch used is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet switch. This assures no
influence on the network s peed.
The connectors us ed for these Ethernet po rts
are of the type RJ45, which is compatible with standard RJ45 cable connector.
Straight (most common) as well as cross linked network cables ca n be use d. The 2 ports are functionally identical. Both
ports a re connected via the projector switch (Auto sensing enabled).
