INSTALLATION & SETUP

Many communications with the projector are initiated on the TPC mounted at the rear

of the projector. Depending on the installation, you may also need certain other serial

and/or Ethernet links to the projector, such as from a server or PC functioning as a

controller, or from an existing on-site network including other related equipment.

These system connections are typically done at time of installation, but are fully

accessible and can be changed at any time. In rare cases, serial and/or Ethernet links

are needed only during installation, and are disconnected afterwards.

Connect your devices to the Communications and Source Connection Panel at the

rear of the projection head.

Figure 2.28. Communication Links with Projector

TPC: Connect the TPC cable to the 6-pin XLR connector. This connector then routes

to an internal 5-port Ethernet hub connected to the projector’s main processing

electronics.

PC/LAPTOP, SERVER OR NETWORK: To communicate with the CP2000 from a

computer, server or an existing network, connect the equipment to

ETHERNET A or

ETHERNET B. Both ports route to the 5-port Ethernet hub connected to the projector’s

main processing electronics. If Ethernet is not available at your site, connect a

standard serial cable to the

RS232 port instead—note this communication link is

acceptable for using a PC/laptop to run Christie’s DCP Librarian

or to download

new software, but is too slow for server communications and does not support ASCII

messaging to the TPC (which requires Ethernet).
