System Setup
Software Installation.
If you wish to control the projector via system Host, please install the PCC Setup Program.
Minimum system requirements:
Intel Pentium 200Mhz or up.
Windows 2000/ XP.
128M Memory.
30Mb Hard Disk.
Attention: PCC software is compatible with WIN2000/XP. The program may not function properly under
other software platforms.
Installation procedure:
Be sure to turn off the power supply to all equipment as well as the computer.
Please connect the random communication/ programming cable to the RS232 port of the
computer and the Host.
Turn on the power supply to the host and the computer.
Insert the CD-ROM into the computers CD-drive and follow the instructions.
Running the setup program.
Run the setup wizard program.
The computer will start searching for the Presenter Control Compact and the window shown in Figure 5
will appear.
Fig. 5
If the computer fails to find the Presenter Control Compact, the window shown in Figure 6 will appear.
Fig. 6

9
If the connection is set up properly, the setup program will start the main interface (Figure 7).
Fig. 7
First check if your projector is listed in the Existing projector list, if so please select the desired projector
and click the icon “programming”. Now the setup program will transmit the right RS232 code to the Host.
If your projector is not in the list, you have to program the control protocol yourself, using the projectors
information. PCC will support Projectors which are controlled by either serial port or remote control.
Please refer to your projectors operating manual or consult your dealer for the right control code.

10
Serial port Control
If your projector is controlled by a serial port, please select “the Serial Port” button. Next you have to
define Baudrate, Data Bit, Verification Mode, Power-on command, Power-down command, Projection
VGA command, Projection Video Command etc.
First select “USER-DEFINED PROJECTOR”. Now the window shown in Figure 8 on the next page will appear.
Fig. 8
Click “serial Port Control” after confirmation. Now the communication parameters will be identified in
advance.
Baudrate
Data number of bits: 7 bits or 8 bits.
Stop Bit: 1 bit.
Verification Mode: none, even, odd, space, mark.
Please look up the projectors parameters carefully in the projectors manual. If you’re not sure contact
your dealer.

11
Requirements for the RS232 code.
Use hexadecimal digits only. Please transform other codes to the Hexadecimal format.
The symbol “\” is necessary for separating the Hex-digits.
Special characters have to be transferred into Hexadecimal digits also. Use a ascII table (also see
appendix 3) for special characters. E.g. Blank-space is “20”, the line feed character is “0A” and
enter character is “0D”.
Example 1
Communication agreement
Baudrate : 9600bps
Databit : 8
Verification Mode: None
Stopbit : 1
Now the following parameters should be entered in window as shown in Figure 9.

Example 2
Power-on command of the projector is POWR___1 (Enter)
(_ signifies space)Then in the command field should contain: \50\4f\57\52\20\20\20\31\0d
(upper/lower case is insensitive).
Infrared remote control
If it is impossible to obtain the Control Code of a projector, but the projector can be controlled by
infrared Control, please select the “Infrared Remote Control” button. See Figure 10.
Fig. 10
Please make an “Infrared Learn Cable” (see Appendix 1 page 18) and connect the wire as shown in
Figure 11 on the next page.

13
Fig. 11
The system shall pickup the infrared code of the projector via infrared receiving window on the control
panel of the host. The computer shall process the infrared code and send out the infrared signal to the
infrared receiving window of the projector through infrared wire. You can observe the action of the
projector to verify the correctness of the infrared code.
Please note following :
The infrared wire should be well constructed. Please be sure that pin 2/3/5 on the serial port on
the PC are connected with pin 2/3/5 of the RS232 port of the host according the Figure in
appendix 1.
The infrared diode should be connected to pins 9/5 and correspond with Anode (+) and
Cathode (-) respectively.
Please place the Infrared LED before the Infrared receiving window of the projector accurately.
Attention
Please confirm that the power supply of the projector is kept on during the infrared study.
Before executing a certain function, please confirm that the projector is ready to receive infrared signals.
After confirmation of the correct connection, turn on the computer and run the setup program to reach
the screen shown in Figure 10. Aim the remote control of the projector at the receiving window (3-6 cm
distance) of the host’s control panel. Press the corresponding button (for the infrared function to study),
The setup program will start a window for the button you pressed. See Figure 12.
Fig.12

14
Fig. 13
After successful sampling of the infrared code, a pop up window shall appear and ask you to confirm. If
the infrared cable is properly connected please check the projectors action. If ok, then confirm. If not ok,
press “No” and start all over again.
Possible causes for problems during infrared learning mode:
Check the connections of the learning cable.
Check if the if the infrared LED is correctly placed before the infrared receiving window of the
projector.
Incorrect sampling of infrared code and the projector’s action does not correspond with the
command.
Please let the host learn each function in sequence until full success.

15
Saving the setup.
Please save the data for future maintenance or transform the data to those Hosts which have parallel
configuration. See Figure 14.
Fig.14
Sending the program to the Host.
Connect the programming cable, check if connected properly and click the “programming” button.
Now the data will be send to the host. The transmission speed shall be shown in the transmission process.
When programming is completed successfully, the PCC will restart automatically. A pop-up window as
shown in Figure 15 will appear. Confirm and the setup program will be closed.
Fig. 15

16
Maintenance
The Showtec Scanmaster 3 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in
liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Troubleshooting
The indication lamp on the control panel is not illuminated.
Possible causes:
1. No proper connection between the power adapter and the PCC.
2. No proper power supply from the power adapter.
The projector is uncontrollable.
Possible causes:
1. The control code of the projector is not right. (please restart the setup program).
2. The communication cable is not connected to the projector appropriately. (Please check if the
pins of the communication cable are soldered correctly and according the diagram in
appendix 1).
Interference on projection screen.
Possible causes:
The power supplies for the projector and other equipment don’t share common ground.
