11. Multichannel installations
11.2 Synchronization concept for the F50
General
The F50 is equipped with bidirectional sync inputs. The projector has a total of three such connectors, 2 BNC and one DIN. All three
connectors have the same synchronization functions. The DIN connector can also supply +5V to some c onnected equipment, such
as glass sync emitters.
The synchronization menu, Main menu — Installation — Synchronization, is divided in two parts: the top part is us ed for 2D setups
and the bottom part is for 3D setup. For complex systems it is poss ible to have completely different setups for 2D and 3D.
In many instances it is necessary to s end a signal to m ore than one projector. To achieve this, the signal is sent to one projector in
the lineup and this projector then em its the same signal on another sync connector to the next projector and so on. For example,
to send what comes in on SYN C1 out on SYNC2, set SYNC1 to input and then set SYNC2 to SYNC1. This means
that whatever
comes in on SYNC1 is retransmitted to SYNC2.
For example, to u se SYN C 1 for 2D source synchronization, you set the 2D source sy nchronization menu to SYNC 1. This has
precedence, so the connector will now be configured a s an input an d the s ignal here is now used for 2D source synchronization.
Further down the menu is the option to defi ne what signal is sent out on the individual s ync connectors, as long as they are not used
for source or display synchronization.
Where the signals are used for source o r display syn chronization, they w ill automatically be config ured as
input and it will not be possible to select any type of output signal for this connector.
Troubleshooting multichannel sy nchronization issues can be done using the Status menu. See section "Troubleshoot sour ce sync
issues", page 102 for more information.
