4. Getting Started Common address Default address. Projector will always execute the command coming from a RCU programmed with that common address. Why a projector address ? As more than one projector can be installed in a room, the separate projector should be separately addressable with an RCU or computer. There for each projector has its own address. Set up an individual Projector Address. The set up of a projector address can be done via the software.
