If you need control a projector with the visualiser, please use the projector RS232 cable (6-pin to

9-pin) to make the connection between the projector and the visualiser. Some projector models may require a converter cable in addition to this standard RS232 cable to connect to the projector control port, for the pin locations and shape of some projectors’ control port connector may be different from the connector of a standard RS232 cable. After the visualiser is connected to the projector, you can control projector’s power on, standby and input selection with the visualiser.

(For projectors other than Hitachi, the Code Writing program that comes with the visualiser is required for this function.)

3. After completion of the connection, turn on the visualiser, click [start] ->

[All Programs] -> Visualiser -> and the following dialog box appears as below:

When the indicator of “Current RS-232 Connection Status” is green, that means the connection between the visualiser and the computer’s RS232 connector is good. If the indicator is red, please check if the RS232 cable is connected correctly. When all the cables are connected correctly, please click “Projector” to select your projector model under the drop-down list, then click “Send”. If you cannot find your particular projector model in the “Projector”, please do the following:

When the indicator of “Current RS-232 Connection Status” is green, that means the connection between the visualiser and the computer’s RS232 connector is good. If the indicator is red, please check if the RS232 cable is connected correctly. When all the cables are connected correctly, please click “Projector” to select your projector model under the drop-down list, then click “Send”. If you cannot find your particular projector model in the “Projector”, please do the following:

1 Select “Baud rate” and “parity” and input the projector control code. (The baud rate, parity and control code is supplied by projector’s manufacturer, please refer to the projector’ manual)

The input format of projector’s control code is as follows:

If the data is in the numerical value format, please input data directly, block them off with comma, do not distinguish lowercase and uppercase.

For example: the “POWER ON” code in Hitachi projector manual is :

BE EF 03 06 00 BA D2 01 00 00 60 01 00

In the POWER ON box, Input : be, ef, 03, 06, 00, ba, d2, 01, 00, 00,

60, 01, 00. Then use the same input rule to input other code.

b. If the data is in the character string format, input ‘character string’.

For example: the “POWER ON” code in the SHARP C40/50 projector manual is :

P O W E - - - 1

(“-“ is space is enter.)

In the POWER ON box, input ’POWR 1’, 0d, 0a

(Remarks: There are 3 spaces after POWER, 0d, 0a is enter.)

Input other codes in the same way.

4. If the data is in the numerical value and character format, then synthesize the above-mentioned formats.

3. Once done, click “Add” to add your projector model, then Click “Send”. Afterward, click “Ok”. Now, you can use the visualiser to control your projector.

5. Connect the visualiser’s projector control port to the RS232 port with a RS232 cable. Please disconnect the computer from the RS232 port first. Then use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector.

The visualiser provides a 6-pin to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this cable does not match to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional

RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 control port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data); the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin and

GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown as follows:

Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin

Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin

Visualiser’s GND pin------------Projector’s GND pin

SET UP GUIDE

6. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector, please use Code-Writing software’s projector control code testing function to check if the control code is correct.

Click “Projector” button, the following dialog box appears as below:

Connect the visualiser to a computer with a RS232 cable (Please disconnect the projector from the RS232 port first) and select the Baud Rate and Parity based on the projector’s

Baud Rate, then click the “TEST” button to pop up the Projector Code Test dialog box, input the Baud Rate and Parity based on the projector’s Baud rate, then click “Open”.

Click the projector control buttons on the visualiser’s operating panel to check if the control code that the program received is the same as the sending code. If the receiving code is same to the sending code, the input codes are correct. If the visualiser cannot control the projector, please do the following.

1. Check to see if the source control codes of projector are correct.

2. Check to make sure the connection between the visualiser and the projector is correct.

FOLDING THE UNIT

1. Fold the right arm light down first onto the base, then the left arm down. Rotate the camera head clockwise until the camera head is parallel to the camera stand.

2. Carefully fold the camera stand down to the front panel.

Cautions:
