ArtNet INTERFACE SETTINGS: Refer to Section 3.6 – Adjusting System Parameters

and Advanced Control, System Configuration – Communication for additional

information about ArtNet settings.

By default, communications originating from one type of serial controller—RS232 vs.

RS422 vs. Ethernet—stay on the corresponding network path. A “Separate” setting

indicates this separation for “Network Routing” in the Communications menu. If you

are using an RS422 controller, for example, it will communicate only with the

projector to which it is connected unless you change this setting to either “RS232 and

RS422 Joined” or “All Joined”.

To relay all messages to all ports—RS232, RS422, and Ethernet—set the “Network

Routing” option in the Communications menu for each projector to “All Joined”. This

configuration is useful if you are using a non-RS232 controller with the RS232 linking

available between these projectors. For example, you may want to use both an RS422-

compatible controller and an Ethernet-connected PC for working with a network of

projectors linked via their RS232 in/out ports.

Figure 2.15. Joining All Networks

To isolate just RS422 communications, select “RS232 and Ethernet Joined”. In Figure

2.15, only projector #3 will respond to the RS422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet

communications, select “RS232 and RS422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond

via Ethernet.

The GPIO connector on the input panel can be used to provide a method of interfacing

a wide range of external I/O devices to the projector.

Refer to Appendix C: System Integration for complete details on pin configuration

and how to program the various pins on the connector.
