NrNameDescription
112V DC12 V DC output, maximum 1A available when projector is not in standby.
2TRIGGER

Two 3.5 mm mini jack connectors (OUT1 & OUT2) for controlling peripherals like motorized screens, curtains etc. Give 12V DC, 0.5A (6W) output when projector is switched on.

Note: If the TRIGGER outputs are loaded too heavy, there is a risk that the projector will go in reset mode, and restart. This causes no damage to the projector, but is an undesirable response. This will also happen if the startup current for the external equipment is too high, even though the nominal power consumption is less than 0,5A

3WIRED REMOTEConnect the RCU via a 3.5 mm mini jack with the wired remote input to control the projector without interference.
4LAN Standard RJ45 connector for external projector control over IP and Art-Net.
5USB

2 x USB 2.0 type A. These USB ports will simplify the service procedures for firmware updates or for downloading the log files without a network connection.

If the only file on the USB device is the firmware file (a “*.fw” file), the projector will automatically start one of the following processes:

  • cornet<version nr>.fw: The projector will upgrade or downgrade, depending on the version number.
  • LogExtractor.fw: The log files will be downloaded.

Note: Make sure that any used USB-stick is FAT32 compatible and contains no other files or folders.

6HDMI™Standard HDMI 2.1 input port for source connection to the projector.
7DPStandard DisplayPort™ (1.4), for source connection to the projector.
8SYNC I/OBNC sync port in/out for projector control. This is mainly used in multiple projector installations with requirement of synchronization between the units.
9Status LEDsProjector status LEDs (see chapter “Projector status”).
10IRInfra Red receiver.
Note: The USB ports can also be used to insert the Pulse Wi-Fi module (USB-dongle). However, wireless connectivity, such as Wi-Fi, is not be supported in certain countries due to local regulatory restrictions. Contact your Barco representative for more information.
LED behavior
Note: Non-conformity issues can be caused by older or low quality cables unable to handle the requested resolution, or connected signal converters manipulating the signal out of the supported video standards.
