Page Inst_7Rev A April 2012
Notes
Always allow the lamp to cool for
5 minutes before:
- disconnecting the power
- moving the projector
Ensure that there is at least
70cm (28in) of space between
the ventilation outlets and any
wall, and 50cm (20in) on all other
sides.
If ceiling mounting, ensure there
is 30cm (12in) of space between
the projector and ceiling.
Backup safety chains or wires
should always be used with
ceiling mount installations.
Do not stack the projectors.
Do not tilt the projector more
than ±12° in either direction, in
desktop or ceiling mode, when in
use, as this may cause serious
lamp failure, damage the lamp
module and cause extra cost on
replacement.

Digital Projection E-Vision 8000 series CONTROL CONNECTIONS Connection Guide
Page Conn_3Rev A April 2012
Control Connections
LAN
• All of the projector’s features can be controlled via a LAN connection, using the control
strings described in the Remote Communications Guide..
• The LAN IP Address of the projector can be set by using the LAN IP Conguration
Utility. To see what the Address is set to, you can view the current Network settings in
the CONTROL Menu.
For more information about these settings, see the Operating Guide.
RS232
• The RS232 port can be used to download rmware updates, issued from time to time by
Digital Projection.
• All of the projector’s features can be controlled via a serial connection, using the control
strings described in the Remote Communications Guide.
Wired Remote Control
• If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the projector due to excessive
distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external
IR repeater to the Remote control input, and position its IR sensor within range of the
operator.
Note that plugging in the remote control cable will disable the infra-red.
Screen Trigger
• The Trigger output can be connected to an electrically operated screen, automatically
deploying the screen when the projector is switched on, or activating curtains when the
aspect ratio is changed.
Notes

SMPTE 292 / HD-SDI signals are very high speed digital signals which require better quality
coaxial cable than conventional analogue video. The data rate is 1.5 Gigabits per second.
In choosing cable length and connectors for any installation the frequency response loss
in decibels should be proportional to √f, from 1MHz, to 1.5GHz. The following or similar
