INPUT 1 consists of 5 BNCs (connectors) for linking to a variety of sources. The
typical connection would be to an RGB source such as a PC, Mac, DEC, Sun, SGI
and others. The Cine-IPM 2K supports multiple sync types with RGB signals: sync-
on-green, composite sync, and separate H & V syncs.
NOTE: Depending on your source, you may need a custom adapter cable with BNC
connectors at the projector end and a different type of connector at the other (such as
a 15-pin "D" connector for some computer sources). Contact your dealer for details.
Connect the SYNC BNC input(s). Then connect the red, green and blue source outputs
to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE BNCs on the INPUT 1 panel. If the source uses sync-
on-green, only the red, green, and blue connections are required. If the source
provides a composite sync output, connect it to the SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP. If
the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect horizontal
sync to the SYNC input labeled HOR/COMP and connect vertical sync to SYNC input
labeled VERT. See Figure 2.8.
Figure 2.8. Connecting an RGB source
NOTES: 1) If for some reason the projector fails to recognize a signal as an RGB
signal, specify this Color Space option within the Image Settings menu. See 3.5,
Adjusting the Image. 2) To connect YPbPr signals–such as from DVDs or analog HDTV
sources–to INPUT 1, use the red, green and blue BNCs as described in YPbPr Signals
(below). 3) This input does not route to the decoder and cannot be used for Composite
Video or S-Video.
Connect a YPbPr signal (component video) to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 as shown in Figure
2.9.
NOTES: 1) If, for some reason, the projector fails to recognize a YPbPr signal,
specify this Color Space option within the Image Settings menu. See 3.5, Adjusting
the Image. 2) Do not connect digital component signals (known as YCbCr) to INPUT
1or INPUT 2. Use the appropriate optional digital interface installed in INPUT 5 or 6
only. 3) With v1.1 software, digitally encrypted source material (HDCP) cannot be
processed and will be displayed as a blank screen.

All input signals processed by the Cine-IPM 2K are routed to the identical DVI
outputs located on the rear panel of the unit. Connect DVI-1 to the DVI-1 connector on
the CP2000 (cable provided). If desired, connect an additional display device such as
a digital monitor using DVI-2. Shown are 4 typical applications for the Cine-IPM 2K:
• 8-bit mode for one CP2000 (Figure 2.12A)
• 8-bit mode for CP2000 and a digital monitor (Figure 2.12B)
• 8-bit mode for two CP2000s (Figure 2.12C)
• 8-bit or 10-bit mode for one CP2000 (Figure 2.12D)
Figure 2.12. Connecting for 8-bit vs. 10-bit Use
If desired, such as when you have digital progressive source data, you can output it in
10-bit format for a single CP2000 connected to the Cine-IPM 2K. This is shown in
Figure 2.12D above. Because Cine-IPM 2K’s 10-bit output is divided between the
two DVI ports, with DVI-1 handling the most-significant 8 bits and DVI-2 handling the
remaining least-significant 2 bits, 10-bit mode requires both outputs connected to the
corresponding CP2000 DVI ports.
Selecting 8-bit or 10-bit Mode
With the Figure 2.12D configuration, you can use either 8-bit or 10-bit Cine-IPM 2K
mode for all sources. Make sure to set this mode (a.k.a. “Data Format”) in 2 places:

As an alternative to keypad and/or TPC control, you may wish to communicate with
the Cine-IPM 2K using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and
receives feedback via serial links (2 types), Ethernet or GPIO communications. All
types of communication methods are described below.
If desired, connect a wired (tethered) version of the Cine-
IPM 2K remote keypad to the 3.5mm phono jack on the
front panel. Note that response to a wired keypad must also
be enabled in the Communications menu—see 2.7,
Converting the Keypad for more information.
If you have connected the rear RS232 “B” port of the Cine-
IPM 2K to the RS232 “B” port in the CP2000, you can use
the Touch Panel Controller for selecting sources connected
to the Cine-IPM 2K. Refer back to Figure 2.6. The RS232
connection also enables Cine-IPM 2K status updates at the
TPC.
NOTE: The TPC can select a specific Cine-IPM 2K source
(#1-6) only if the CP2000 is connected via DVI-1. If
connected via DVI-2, the TPC can select this port (called
DVI-B), but you must use the Cine-IPM 2K keypad to select
the source (#1-6).
The rear Ethernet port on the Cine-IPM 2K is an alternative
route planned for TPC communications, but is currently
non-functional.
RS232 Serial Communications
From most computers, connect a standard RS232 serial communication cable
between the computer and the Cine-IPM 2K serial port labeled RS232 IN. Then set the
Cine-IPM 2K baud rate to match that of your computer.
Changing the baud rate is done in the Cine-IPM 2K’s Communications submenu. See
3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls.

Some computers can provide RS422 serial communications (often through a plug-in
adapter or external converter) rather than the more common RS232 standard. RS422
communication has differential “transmits-and-receives” and is generally better

suited for long distances than is RS232 communication. Note that RS422 is not
compatible with RS232—connecting a RS232-compatible PC to RS422 can damage
the equipment at either end. Consult the documentation provided with your PC if you
are unsure.
The 9-pin RS422 connector is located on the front input panel of the Cine-IPM 2K.
When using this port, make sure to set the baud rate to match that of your RS422
controlling device.

CAUTION
Do not use an RS422 port unless you are using
equipment with RS422 capability. The voltage levels of
this signal can damage incompatible equipment.
Ethernet Communications
To add the Cine-IPM 2K to an Ethernet network with other equipment such as
controllers and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your
Ethernet controller (or hub) and the Ethernet port on the Cine-IPM 2K front panel.
NOTES: 1) Ethernet crossover cable required if connecting directly to a PC only. 2)
Downloading new software to the projector via Ethernet is not supported.

Figure 2.17. Connecting Ethernet
By default upon connection to an Ethernet network, a valid IP address for the Cine-
IPM 2K will be automatically assigned by a DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server
present on your network, or if you want to use a specific static IP address for the
Cine-IPM 2K, you can set this address in the Ethernet Settings menu or via an ASCII
serial command.
Regardless of how it is assigned, once a Cine-IPM 2K has a valid and unique address
it will respond immediately to commands sent to this address. To determine the Cine-
IPM 2K’s current IP address, consult the Status or Communications menus.
Refer to 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls for further
information about setting up and using a Cine-IPM 2K connected via Ethernet.
The GPIO Port
The General Purpose In-Out (GPIO) port enables integration of the Cine-IPM 2K
within an established control system so that other devices connected via GPIO can
operate in tandem with Cine-IPM 2K, or vice versa. ASCII commands sent via
standard serial ports can be stored in Cine-IPM 2K memory, where they can then
trigger a sequence of events in response to incoming or outgoing signals at the GPIO
port, depending on your programming of the GPIO pins. For example, you can
automatically dim the room lighting when the Cine-IPM 2K is turned on, or
automatically turn the unit off when the lights are raised.

At many CP2000 sites, users may prefer to select their non-cinema Cine-IPM 2K
sources with a simple button on the TPC Main menu. These buttons provide a
reliable and quick way to switch to a specific Cine-IPM 2K source, but they must
first be configured and defined by an installer, administrator, or advanced user having
access rights to the TPC Custom menu. See below.
NOTES: 1) This procedure assumes familiarity with the TPC. For complete
information, see the CP2000 User’s Manual provided with the projector. 2) The
RS232 “B” link is required for source selection at the TPC. 3) Currently the TPC
can be configured for switching sources only, not channels.
1. Make sure your CP2000 and Cine-IPM 2K are properly connected via both DVI
and RS232 “B”. Otherwise the two devices cannot communicate with each other.
2. Connect the desired
source(s) to the front of the
Cine-IPM 2K.
3. In the Cine-IPM 2K menus,
set the desired output
resolution and output (8-bit
vs. 10-bit; a.k.a. “Data
Format”). Remember that
10-bit output requires both
DVI connections. See right.
4. With the projector and
Cine-IPM 2K both powered up normally, go to the Custom menu of the TPC and
set the following options (see Figure 2.20):
•Define INPUT: Set whether your Cine-IPM 2K data link is via DVI-1 (called
“DVI-A” at the TPC) or DVI-2 (called “DVI-B” at the TPC), or whether the
incoming data is shared in a DVI-TWIN (10-bit) configuration utilizing both
DVI routes. With any of these three TPC input options, you must still use
the remote keypad to select the desired Cine-IPM 2K input (#1-6).
Alternatively, if you have multiple sources connected to the Cine-IPM 2K
for outputting on the 8-bit DVI-1 link, you may prefer to define a specific
