Use one hand toa hold base of the visualiser, use cable the other to carefully lift The visualiser provides 6-pinthe to 9-pin RS232 cable. If this doeshand not match up the camera stand of the unit. to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 control port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data); the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin and GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown as follows: 5 6 Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin 4 3 Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin 21 Visualiser’s GND pin------------Projector’s GND pin 5. If you can not use buttons on the operation panel to control the projector, please use Code-Writing software’s projector control code testing function to check Open code the arm lights and rotate the camera head until they are in proper positions. if the 2. control is correct.

Output of the S-Video signal from the visualiser to the projector is already done in the step 2, where the RGB cable comes out from the visualiser and goes to the projector. After the connections as steps 2, 3, 4 are made, input signals from the computer, visualiser CCD and S-Video are going to the RGB1 input on the projector and will be displayed on the projector screen as RGB1.

If this cable does not match Thethe visualiser 6-pin to your projector’s RS232 port, an additional RS232 cable is needed. This additional RS232 cable can be made based on the pin location of the projector’s RS232 control port. The pin locations of the visualiser are: the pin 1 is RXD (Received Data); the pin 5 is TXD (Transmitted Data); the pin 4 is GND (Ground). Other pins are not defined. The pin location information of the projector is provided by the projector’s manufacturer. The projector’s RS232 control port normally has RXD pin, TXD pin and GND pin, the name may be different. The parallelism of each data pin is shown as follows: 5 6 Visualiser’s RXD pin------------Projector’s TXD pin 4 3 Visualiser’s TXD pin------------Projector’s RXD pin 21 Visualiser’s GND pin------------Projector’s GND pin For example: the “POWER ON” code in Hitachi projector manual is : 5.
