7.1 Power modes

Overview

The projector has 4 different power modes:

ModeDescription
ECO STANDBYLight source is switched off and projector electronics are powered down.
STANDBYLight source is switched off and Control & Communication module is active.
READYProjector is booted up and the light source is switched off.
ONProjector is booted up and the light source is on.
Note: Energy consumption is significantly lowers in ECO STANDBY mode: only <0.5W if network is not plugged in and 2W with network.
Note: In ECO STANDBY mode, remote power up (Wake-on-LAN) and local power up (button) are supported.
Note: Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

The link speed of the projector network interface in ECO mode is reduced to 10Mbit/s. This is standard practice in the industry to not waste power. Hence, the network connected with the projector must support such a low link speed to enable the remote wake up of the projector. This implies that all peripherals (switchers, routers...) in the network path must support WOL and configured correctly to support WOL.

Note: Wake on DMX activity

When the projector is in STANDBY mode, DMX commands using DMX over XLR are not processed. This means that is not possible to wake up the projector using specific “power on” DMX commands. For projectors where this is an issue, the XLR menu now has the command “Wake on DMX activity. When enabled, the projector will wake up if it detects any activity on the DMX input.

When using DMX over Ethernet (using ArtNet), DMX commands are processed, even when the projector is in STANDBY mode.
