Projector replacement

 

What is the easiest/quickiest way to replace a different brand projector?? Do I have to find the driver and then recompile?? What if I don't have a driver for it?
Many thanks in advance.

What is the easiest/quickiest way to replace a different brand projector?

Depends, how are you controlling it? If it¡¯s CEC(unlikely) do the inputs line up? Serial, very unlikely the API will be the same, baud could be wrong, etc. Crestron Connected, probably the best of the options of just replacing and setting the IPID.

Do I have to find the driver and then recompile??

Most likely, but depends on how its being controlled.

What if I don't have a driver for it?
You make one.

Thanks, Caleb.
Can you point me to information on making my own driver?? Like what format does it expect?? And how to make it into a driver?
Yes, control was via serial from the DM-RMC-Scaler-C.? It's an old system with old program, so I was hoping that I don't have to find the driver and recompile.
Thank you again!
 

Pj link is the easiest way works across brands?
 

Most projectors will have some sort of integration documentation. It will be IR, Serial or IP control, i haven't come acorss many projectors i couldn't interface with. What brand of projector is it?
 

What control system are you using? Was it programmed in AVF, Simpl or #?
 

Simpl
 

Do you have the code? What projector are you going to?
 

Yes, I have the code, and the projector will be a Panasonic? PT-FRZ50U replacing the Christie DHD555-DS.

If you only need Power On, Power Off and a couple of source switches, I would probably just use an SIO.
Power On = PON\n
Power Off = POF\n
COMPUTER1 = IIS:RG1\n
COMPUTER2 = IIS:RG2\n
VIDEO = IIS:VID\n
HDMI1 = IIS:HD1\n
HDMI2 = IIS:HD2\n
DIGITAL LINK = IIS:DL1\n
 

Eric,
Thanks for the info, how to implement SIO in the program?

Thanks,
Katherina
 

I think the problem here is they are not a dealer and/or dont have the necessary software or the knowledge to do this. Really should be instead looking for someone qualified to make the change.??
