6.1 Using the RCU

Pointing to the reflective screen or IR sensors

Switch on the RCU and point the front of the RCU to the reflective screen surface or point directly to one of the projector IR sensors. Make sure you are within the effective operating distance (30 m, 100 ft in a straight line). The RCU will not function properly if strong light strikes the IR sensor window or if there are obstacles between the RCU and the IR receiver.

The RCU can also hard-wired been used. See chapter “Using the XLR connector of the RCU”.

Using the RCU in combination with a 3D emitter

When using a 3D emitter that radiates IR beams (e.g. the optional 3D emitter that Barco provides), the IR beams of the 3D emitter may interfere with the IR communication between projector and the RCU.

If such interference occurs, connect the RCU to the projector using the remote cable with XLR connector. It is also be advised to turn the IR receivers of the projector off to avoid the 3D emitter interference. The IR receivers can be turned off in the GUI: System Settings > Communication > IR Control.
