Barco Installation Configuration and Connections
Installation of System 8/10 Plus and Barco LCD with 5-Wire Input
____________ Important note: If S-Video sources are used, five wires must be run to the
projector’s 5-Wire input.
Note: All sources are routed through the RGBHV port of the switcher, and
the switcher is configured in Cable Saver mode. There is no need to run
separate S-Video or Composite video cables to Barco projectors with a 5-
Wire input module. See manual for further information on Cable Saver
modeoperation.
Step 1: Verify switcher configuration switches are set as shown on the
following pages.
Step 2: Verify that the 5-Wire card is in location 2 of the projector (see
diagram)
Step 3: Connect input sources to switcher as shown on the following
pages. Verify that the input configuration switches are set to
match the input type.
Step 4: Connect RGBHV output of the switcher to the 5-Wire input as
shown on the following pages.
Step 5: Connect CC cable and Comm adapter as shown.
Step 6: Power on the projector.
Step 7: Go into the Adjust menu of the projector.
Step 8: Select INSTALLATION from the Adjustment Mode menu.
Step 9: Select 800 PERIPHERAL.
Step 10: Press Enter to toggle out of Standard into 5-wire. 5-wire
configuration requires SW15 DIP switch 8 to be in the up position.
Step 11: Infrared (RC5 or PPM) determines RS1 rotary position. If infrared
is set to RC5, configure RS1 to RC5 setting. If infrared is set to
PPM, configure RS1 to PPM setting.
____________ Important note: The switcher’s RS1 setting must match the projector’s infrared
setting (RC5 or PPM).
Step 12: Exit out of all menus.
Step 13: Switch to each switcher channel with an active input source.
Step 14: For each source input, enter the FILE SERVICE menu and go to
LOAD to configure the projector memory for the source input.

4. Connectthe CommAdapter’s 9-pinmale connector to the9-pin female “Comm
Port” connector on the rear panel of the projector.
5. ConnecttheCC-50'(or CC-100') cablefromthe9-pin male connectoroftheComm
Adapterto the 15-pinHD “Projector Control” port located on the rear panel of the
System 8/10 PLUS. (If you wish to make your own communications cable, see
page3-2.)
______ Secure the screws on all D connectors.
6. Connect the BNC cables from the System 8/10 PLUS outputs to the Barco LCD
projectorinputsaccordingtotheapplicationrequirements.
7. Apply Main Power to the System 8/10 PLUS by connecting the power cord. The
Main Power LED should light. Apply power to the projector.
8. ReturnSystem8/10PLUS and projector tonormaloperation.
