GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT/OUTPUT (GPIO) port

This 37 pin connector (reference

6

Image 7-9) can be used to send or receive trigger signals from other

devices. These input/output pins can be programmed by macros created with the Communicator
software. See user's guide of the Communicator, section Macro editor, for more information about this
functionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs accept 24 volt maximum. The GPIO remains
operational when the projector is in Standby mode. So, if the factory predefined macro to wake up the
projector is assigned to one of the free GPI input pins the projector can be awakened via GPIO.
Enter or leave Standby mode can also be done with GPIO via two predefined Macros (not editable).

For future use.

RS232

An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the
characteristics of the communication path between two devices using either D-SUB 9 pins or D-
SUB 25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does
not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of
conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies
component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C,
which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24
standard. Logical '0' is > + 3V, Logical '1' is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the transition
zone.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface is a display interface developed in response to the proliferation of digital flat
panel displays. The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital
Display Work Group). This connection standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins
that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog
video. This standard uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signal) from Silicon Image and
DDC (Display Data Channel) from VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association). DVI can be
single or dual link.
