The Prometheus can be c onnected to a LAN (local area network) using one of the E thernet ports (1). O nce connected to the LAN,
users can acc ess the projector from any location, inside or ou tside ( if allowed) their company network using the Comm unicator
software. T his software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or the user can insert the correct IP-address
to acces s the projector. Once accessed, it is possible to check and manipulate all the projector settings. Re mote diagnostics, control
and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity allows detection of
potential errors and consequently improve service time.
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when the
y are on an Ethernet network, a n Ethernet switch is built in. the incom ing
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 speed.
RS232 IN
This female DB-9 connector allows you to use a standard serial cable up to 10 me ter to connect the touch panel interface with the
projector. No te that the RS 232 protocol is used on this connection.
RS232
An Electronic Industries Association
(EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the com mu-
nication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-SUB 25 pins connec tors. This standard is used for
relatively short-range communications and do es no t specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a se rial control s tandard
with a s et number of cond uctors, dat
a rate, word length and type of connector t o be use d. The standard specifies com -
ponent connection standards with regard to c omputer interface. It is also called RS-232 -C, w h ich is the third version
of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < -
3V. The range between -3V and +3V
is the transition zone.
GENERAL PURPOSE IN/OUT
This 37 pin connector c an be used
to send or receive trigger signals from other devices. T hese input/output pins can be programm ed
by macros c reated on the C om municator touch panel. See user’s guide of the Touc h panel, section M acro editor, for more informa-
tion about this functionality. Note that the General P urpose Inputs accept 24 volt maximum.
3D INTERFACE
Optional port.
Can be used to connect e xternal 3D de vices to the pr ojector. All signals necessary for 3D projection can be provided via this con-
nector.
