APPENDIX 1 RS 232 Control By far, the most accurate way to control or integrate the DTV-943 into a home theater system is by RS 232 control. In this section, you will find hardware configuration and how to format the control data, command strings and examples. Hardware Configuration RS232 Connector 9PIN D-SUB PC-AT TYPE. Projector has female type. To establish communications with the projector, the following conditions must be made: NOTE: All wires are straight through.
Sending a RECORD (single instruction) A RECORD consists of 9 bytes of information in the following order: STX, OFFS, ADR, CMD, DAT1, DAT2, DAT3, DAT4, CHKS Where: STX - 02H Make projector(s) listen for its (their) unique address. OFFS - (1-255) Offset you choose so that none of the data or CMDs - 02H (STX). Normally set the offset to 0. ADRe - (1-255) Number corresponding to projector ’s unique address (see dip switch setting). If you are unsure of your projector’s address, set this to 0.
Example string to send to the projector with address 3 to turn it on/off In decimal values * Decimal Value in ( ).

EYE-QTM Autoconvergence OVERVIEW The EYE-QTM auto-convergence system allows for faster and more accurate convergence when used by the installer upon initial installation. The EYE-Q TM system also allows the end-user to perform occasional convergence touch ups without having to learn the complex convergence procedure using the TOUCH-UP option in the EYE-QTM menu. By doing so, the end-user can be assured that the image quality is always at its best.
Easy-to-use, high precision automatic convergence system. Various options on the menu offer you the solution for your own individual needs: Align: convergence starts for the current image situation Align from mid-position: convergence starts from mid-position. Touch-up: convergence starts when the source switches or after a user-defined time: alignment of static convergence is almost invisible for the audience.
ON - SCREEN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ACCESS TO EYE-QTM ON-SCREEN MENUS After the EYE-Q TM unit has been correctly installed in the projector, press the button on the RCU (Remote Control Unit) or the local keypad of the projector to enter the ‘Adjustment mode’ (please refer to the projector Owner’s Manual). The EYE-QTM path will be displayed in the menu: Highlight EYE-Q TM by pushing the control disc (on RCU). or keys of the Press the button to enter the EYE-Q TM menu.
EYE-QTM SETUP The EYE-Q TM SETUP procedure needs to be done only once after projector is correctly installed or whenever the projector is reinstalled in another position. To enter the EYE-Q TM SETUP menu: Highlight EYE-QTM by pushing the trol disc. or keys of the con- Press the button to set the correct projector configuration. Setting the Configuration When using a rear screen projector, this option must be set to rear.
FOCUSING THE CAMERA LENS The lens of the camera must be focused properly on the projection screen. Follow the steps described below: In the EYE-QTM SETUP menu, highlight FOCUS THE LENS by pushing the up or down keys of the control disc. Press the button to start up the process. A pattern of horizontal alternating green/black bars will be projected onto the screen, together with a textbox.
CENTERING THE CAMERA The camera must be centered in middle of the projection screen. Follow the steps described below: Highlight CENTER CAMERA by pushing the up or down keys of the control disc. Press the button to start up the process. Note: It is critical that the green raster of the presently selected source is centered on the CRT faceplate. Otherwise, the camera will not be centered properly.
CENTERING THE CAMERAVERTICALLY One horizontally centered green bar will be projected onto the screen, together with a text box. Inside the box, the text of “CAMERA ALIGNMENT VERTICAL” indicates the item subject to adjustment and a symmetrical bar scale (from -50 to +50) under the text. If the indicated value below the bar scale is not equal to zero (i.e. the black highlight is not in the middle of the bar scale), the camera is not centered vertically.
TOUCH-UP ON TIMER This option allows the static convergence to be carried out automatically after a user-defined time, which can be programmed in hours and/or minutes.
LEARNING A REFERENCE Adjust one Reference Source with perfect geometry. This source can have either horizontal or vertical frequency. Remember that other sources will have the same geometry as this Reference Source. This means that if a source has 4:3 aspect ratio, all sources will be adjusted with a 4:3 aspect ratio and the same horizontal and vertical amplitudes. Follow the steps below to select: Enter in the Adjustment Mode and select EYE-QTM by pushing up or down keys of the control disc.
TOUCH UPAND AUTOCONVERGENCE ADJUSTING SCREEN SIZE In case the projection screen is not greater than the desired size or the screen has a frame around it (i.e.
TOUCH-UP When TOUCH-UP is selected, only the static convergence of the currently selected source will be carried out automatically. Follow the steps below to select: Highlight TOUCH-UPby pushing up or down keys of the control disc; Press the button to start up the static convergence. If the process is successfully completed, the projector will return to image display of the current source.
ON ALL SOURCES The “On all sources” functions as the “On current source.” It includes also three options: Touch-up Align Align from mid-position The difference is that the convergences will be carried out on all sources of the projector, i.e. all available memory banks of the projector. The total number of sources is displayed between the brackets.
ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION ON ALL SOURCES When ALIGN FROM MIDPOSITION is selected, the automatic convergence on all sources will be carried out automatically, but starting from the midposition settings. By projecting alternately red and blue lines, 25 convergence areas are aligned to the green pattern. The process will repeat for as many times as the total number of the sources until all sources are perfectly aligned.
NO PATTERN ERROR After starting up the automatic convergence, the projector will start to calculate and locate 5 horizontal and 5 vertical lines which are used to divide the screen into 25 areas. If the projector does not succeed in finding the pattern, it will try two time. If the two attempts fail, the projector will quit the process and display the Error menu. The AUTOCONVERGENCE selection will be followed by the error window displaying the following possibilities.
EYE-QTM DIAGNOSTICS This option allows a check-up of the EYE-QTM NOTE: Most errors that occur during the LEARN REFERENCE procedure or the beginning of the AUTOCONVERGENCE procedure are caused by one of the following: Lens cap not removed Lens focus not performed properly Camera focus not performed properly Ambient light is too high Reference not learned properly If all else fails, run the diagnostics.
In case of failures, the error message will shown: FAILED... Error 11; or FAILED... Error 12; or FAILED... Error 13; or FAILED... Error 14; or FAILED... Error 15.
