System Integration - GPIO Connector
The GPIO connector on the input panel interface, provides a method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O
devices. Refer to “Appendix: GPIO”, page 96 Connector for complete details on pin configuration and how to
program the GPIO.
GPIO: General Purpose Input and Output connector.
Connecting Multiple Projectors
RS-232 NETWORK: To connect multiple projectors in a network with serial communication:
1) Connect the controlling source to the RS-232 IN connector of the first projector in the network.
2) Using another serial communication cable, connect one end to the RS-232 OUT connector and the other end
to the RS-232 IN connector of the next projector.
3) Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the network. NOTE: The last projector in the network
will only have a connection to the RS-232 IN connector.
•Mixed Network
To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an RS-422 interface:
•1. Set them all to the same baud rate as your RS-422 controller. NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS-
422 and RS-232 in the Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS-232 and RS-422
Joined”, see Section 4 Web User Interface.
•2. Chain the projectors together by connecting an RS-232 OUT (Null Cable) of the first projector (already
connected to the computer/controller through the RS-422 port straight through to an RS-232 IN on the next
projector in the chains). Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in
