About this chapter
It is extremely important to make backups of your projector da ta after each setting change.
This ch apter describes how to use Barco’s Projector Suppo rt software tool to make a backup of the key data of a projector and how
to restore this backup.
A full backup holds the full set of data which is available on the PM P of the projector:
• panel settings
• projector settings
• standard/customer files
• serial number
•history
• runtimes
• option key
•etc.
Recovery of the serial number an d the r untimes is possible, on condition that the processor of the target PMP does not contain this
information yet (i.e. it m ust be a new PMP).
In a (local) network where multiple PMP boards are present, only replace one PMP at a time to prevent restoring
a backup to a w ron g PMP.
CAUTION: A backup file includes alignment data that is related to the original projector only: uploading these
files to a nother projector may result in bad image quality!
CAUTION: Pressing <Clear s ettings> in the Tools se ction deletes al
l data from the P MP, even default settings
and factory data!
