A uniquely powerful and easy to use configuration tool for the Barco cinema projector. This touch panel
provides all the necessary tools and only those tool necessary for the connected projector to setup and
control this projector. A comprehensive array of easy to access menu pages provide the projectors digital
input, output and screen display via a combination of simple buttons and displays.

Quick and Easy configuration


Clearly indicated tab pages allow the control of Projector connection, configuration, test, color calibration
and configuration with an existing automation system. All actions can be activated by touching the drawn
control on the touch panel.
Depending on the user level, functions are enabled or disabled on that touch panel. The enabled functions
are only accessible via a password entry and that prevents misalignment once everything is correctly
aligned.

2.4.1 About Server control


Introduction
With server control, one can remotely take control of a server by using VNC. Version 3.3 of the VNC
protocol is used.
Once a connection is made, the Configuration and Control pane shows the current active screen of this
server in a maximized server control area of 640 x 480 pixels..
The operator has now the possibility to control the server via the touch panel. All functions available on
the server can be activated via the touch panel.

VNC
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical (GUI) desktop sharing system which uses
the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer. It transmits
the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen
updates back in the other direction, over a network.

About the connection


When during a session a connection was made with a server, this connection is broken when switching
to another item in the menu. But, the software will remember that there was a connection and will auto-
matically reconnect when returning to the Server tab.

2.4.2 Connection properties


About the properties
The server properties must be set each time a connection must be established with a different server. The
last used server properties are stored for reuse during a next connection.

2.4.2.1 Start up the properties window


How to start up
1. While in Control, tip on Server.
If there was no previous connection, the Server overview window is displayed, continue with step 2.

Host name

Image 2-21
Server properties

When a DNS server is available, enter the host name of the server.
When no DNS server is available, enter the IP address of the server. That address contains 4 octets with
a maximum value of 255 and separated by a dot (.)..

When the VNC server software is installed with its default settings, then the host name
is enough to make a connection.

Display or port
Using Display
• If connecting to a Windows or Mac server, the display number must be 0 (zero)
• If connecting to a Linux or Unix server, the number of the display must be specified.
Using Port :
• By default, the VNC client connects to a VNC server on TCP/IP port 5900. If another port must be
used, enable the Use as port and enter the port number.

Password
If the VNC server is installed with a password, enter this word next to Password. An asterisk is printed for
each entered character.
When the check box next to Show Password is checked, all characters are displayed as typed.

Note :
Settings for :
• Doremi server
- use as port
- port number 5900
- default password : adminvnc
• GDC server
- use as Display
- Display number = 0

Enter the scale value which must be used at the client side.

Color pallet
When 8-bit session is checked, only 8 bit color are transferred from the server to the client and the server
display is shown as an 8 bit color display at the client side. This will reduce the necessary bandwidth for
the communication.
When not checked, full colors are used to reproduce the server display at the client side.

Scaling
The server display will be displayed on the touch panel in a window of 540 x 400 pixels.
The client has the possibility to scale the server display so that it is shown as a full display or as a display
with scroll bars.

Overview

R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010 27


2. Controls

Different encoding methods (compression methods) can be used to transfer data between the server and
the client.
When Auto is checked, the software checks the bandwidth of the connections and selects the best en-
coding method for that moment.
The Copy rectangle encoding can be used when the client already has the same pixel data elsewhere
in its framebuffer. The server simply sends an X,Y coordinate giving the position from which the client
can copy the rectangle of pixel data. This means that operations such as dragging or scrolling a window,
which involve substantial changes to the screen, may only require a few bytes. Not all servers support
copy rectangle encoding.

3.4.2 Input settings

DVI-EDID
Digital Visual Interface – Extended Display Identification Data
DVI sources that are reported to the projector via the VESA E-EDID standard. These will be
autodetected and displayed at the source format size, using standard processing.

292–DUAL
Input A and input B are combined to 1 input. From a complete signal, part is send to input A
and the other part to input B to reach bigger way through.

4:2:2
A commonly used term for a component digital video format. A ratio of sampling frequencies
used to digitize the luminance and color difference components (Y, R-Y, B-Y) of a video signal.
It is generally used as shorthand for ITU-R 601. The term 4:2:2 describes that for every four
samples of Y, there are two samples each of R-Y and B-Y, giving more chrominance bandwidth
in relation to luminance compared to 4:1:1 sampling.

4:4:4
Similar to 4:2:2, except that for every four luminance samples, the color channels are also
sampled four times.

3.7.2.1 About 3D projection


Summary
Typical scenario for 3D projection:
The left eye image data comes in over a HDSDI 24 p signal on port A on the projector.
The right eye image data comes in over a HDSDI 24p signal on port B of the projector.
On the interface board both signals are combined to a 48 Hz signal. Left and right frames are combined.
The signals are further up scaled to 96 Hz at the level of the Modular Formatter and DMD
The 48 Hz signals can be outputted to an external polarizer system, or active polarity glasses. They can

3.7.2.3 Frame rate multiplication


Introduction
The system provides the capability to do frame rate multiplication based on an N/M system.

66 R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010


3. Configuration

For this system, M and N are defined as follows:


• M is defined as the number of input frames of data (defined by input vertical sync) that are required to
constitute a full frame of image data. This parameter is used to determine the “base” or “full” image
frame rate for the input data, in the form: Base rate (Hz) = Input frame rate (Hz) / M.
• N is defined as the number of frames of data to be displayed during a base rate time. This parameter
is used to determine the output vertical rate, in the form: Output rate (Hz) = Base rate (Hz) * N
The following are a few examples:
Example 1:

• Full frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 1


• One frame of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 1
E.g. 24 Hz input, 24 Hz output (Normal projector use)
Example 2:

• ½ frame of picture data input each vsync, therefore M = 2


• frames of picture data output each base rate, therefore N = 4
E.g. LR data input at 48Hz, LRLR output at 96Hz (LRLR 3D)
4:2 is generally used for 3D.

Frame rate Setup


Tip on the combo box next to Multiplication and select the desired multiplication.
1:1 is normal projector use.
4:2 is generally used for 3D
others are used for experimental purposes.

3.7.2.4 3D Test pattern


What can be done?
With the 3D test pattern, it is possible to test the complete setup in combination with an external polarizer
system, or active polarity glasses. The output frequency of the test pattern can be entered so that the
simulation of the input signal is completely.

Entering the output frequency


1. Tip in the input field next to Activate. (image 3-38)
2. Enter the new frequency with the keyboard.
Or,
tip on the up down control of the spin box until the desired frequency is reached.

Image 3-38

R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010 67


3. Configuration

How to check the complete setup


1. Tip on Activate to run the test pattern.
A 3D test pattern generated on the interface board will be displayed.
Alternating, the left and the right pattern will be displayed.
For the best test pattern and to display the pattern for the left or the right eye:
- set the frequency on 48 Hz
- set frame rate multiplication on 4:2
- set 3D control, 3D L/R Input Reference on White Line Code True or Blue Line Code True.
- set 3D L/R Display Reference on Use GPI 2(polarity = true)
- set 3D Dark Time Adjustment, 3D L/R Output Reference Delay and 3D L/R Output Reference Polarity
as needed.
Either the left or the right eye pattern will be displayed.
When e.g. the left pattern (indicated with L) is displayed, only the left eye may see this image. When it
is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.
2. Change the 3D setting L/R Display Reference to Use GPI 2(polarity = inverted).
When the left patterns was displayed, now the right pattern will be displayed. Only the right eye may
see this pattern. When it is not so, the setup is wrong and should be corrected.

reference.
Use <White Line Code / Blue Line Code> (polarity Use “White Line Code / Blue Line Code”
= inverted) embedded in data stream as 3D L/R input
reference.
Use line interleave where first line = left, second
line = right

About <White Line Code> or <Blue Line Code>


The White/Blue Line Code is an embedded methodology for specifying whether a specific frame of input
data has left or right eye data.

• The bottom pixel-row of the left-eye subfield should be pure white (blue) for the left-most 25% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.
• The bottom pixel-row of the right-eye subfield should be pure white(blue) for the left most 75% of the
pixel-row, and pure black for the remainder of the row.

A B
Image 3-40
White (Blue) line code
A Green field with white L and last lines 25 % white, 75 % black
B Magenta field with last lines 75 % white, 25% black

The system will only sample the blue channel, allowing the external user to use either White or Blue Line
Code. The system will blank out the encoded line so that it is not displayed.
This mechanism is only relevant when using a single stream input. The input reference is encoded in the
content. (Information is on R, G and B channels).
This information can also be on blue channel only (Blue line bottom) Blue Line Code.

3. Configuration

About Line interleave

Image 3-41
Line interleave
(1) Odd lines
(2) Even lines

The system alternates the lines between the left and the right eye. It starts with the first line containing
the left eye information and the second line containing the right eye information. It continues in that way
until a full frame is produced.

Input frame dominance


Only relevant for dual stream input.
The frames are arriving at the same time, but they will be inserted sequentially.
Insert order selection:
• Left (L1, R1, L2, R2 ...)
• Right (R1, L1, R2, L2 ...)

L/R Input Reference GPI


Only relevant if L/R Input Reference is set to Use GPI 2. Polarity can be true or inverted.

L/R Display Reference


The optional 3D L/R Display Reference signal is used to specify which frame of eye data is to be displayed
during a specific display frame. This signal is referenced to the display frame rate which is specified by the
Frame Rate Multiplication command. The system will sample this reference in the middle of each display
frame, inverting the sample for use during the following display frame.

Dark Time Adjustment


Between switching the frames the image needs to be black the same time the external devices need to
switch (external devices can be 3D Glasses, or polarizing filter).
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. This software command is used to adjust the projector dark time to meet the requirements
of whatever switching mechanism is being used.
3D dark time adjustment will be disabled (set to 0) whenever 3D is disabled. With 3D enabled and 3D
dark time adjustment disabled, the projector will be set to its default dark time of approximately 388 µs.
There is no dark time when 3D is disabled.
The system will have a minimum and maximum dark time that can be achieved. If the specified value is
smaller than the system can provide, the dark time will be set to the systems minimum value, which will
be reported as the actual dark time value. If the specified value is larger than the system can provide, the
dark time will be set to the systems maximum value, which will be reported as the actual dark time value.
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and

whether left or right eye data is being displayed, as well as the start of dark time. This signal is the 3D L/R
Output Reference.

Between switching the frames the image needs to be black.
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. This software command is used to adjust the projector dark time to meet the requirements

There is no dark time when 3D is disabled.
The system will have a minimum and maximum dark time that can be achieved. If the specified value is
smaller than the system can provide, the dark time will be set to the systems minimum value, which will
be reported as the actual dark time value. If the specified value is larger than the system can provide, the
dark time will be set to the systems maximum value, which will be reported as the actual dark time value.
For 3D applications, systems typically need a period of time where the image projected on the screen is
black. This black or “dark time” is used to switch the mechanism that controls what a viewers left eye and
right eye sees. For most 3D applications, the system will provide an output reference signal that indicates
whether left or right eye data is being displayed, as well as the start of dark time. This signal is the 3D L/R
Output Reference.

Output Reference delay


The output reference delay shifts the output reference signal. That results in the best 3D viewing with the
least possible crosstalk between eyes.

If you require corrective lenses to see a cinema screen clearly, be sure you have them
available.

To adjust the reference delay, handle as follow:


1. Start the synchronization delay test clip on the server.
2. Put on the glasses and view the screen, covering or closing first one eye and then the other. Do not
adjust the reference delay value with both eyes open.

3. Start e.g. with the left eye, adjust the delay until the white stripes disappear in the black column.
Continue with the right eye and adjust the delay again.

The following process happens :


Image information together with audio data enters the server. Next to it, separate subtitle files in multiple
languages are stored on the same server as well as metadata files.
The operator of the Cinema theatre selects the film and the additional subtitling on the server.
The image data will be sent over the SMPTE292 line to the projector. When the subtitling mechanism is
activated inside the projector, this projector will process subtitle data and timings which are sent over a
Ethernet network to the projector. The projector will render the subtitling in overlay to the image.

4.4.4.4 Time to live (TTL)


Why used
The TTL (Time to live) is a countdown time-out used to prevent subtitles from being left on the screen
through loss of communication.
The server or touch panel will continuously ask for the subtitle status. As long as the ’time to live’ counter
has not been expired and the subtitle status command is executed, this TTL value will be reset to its
original value set in the TTL interface.
If the TTL value reaches ’0’, the system will disable the subtitle function and the subtitling will be removed
from the screen.

How to set up
1. Tip into the TTL input field and select the current value. Change that value by entering the new value
with the digit keys on the keyboard (the value must be in seconds)
Or,

4.4.5 Metadata Control

Metadata
Generally referred to as "data about data" or "data describing other data". More specifically,
information that is considered ancillary to or otherwise directly complementary to the essence.
Any information that a content provider considers useful or of value when associated with the
essence being provided.

Overview

• Steps to be taken for metadata control
• Access to the metadata control
• Metadata file
• Time to live (TTL)
• Metadata Control activation

4.4.5.1 Introduction
Overview
In case of a digital Cinema projector, Metadata contains all the data the projector needs, to be able to
display a certain content as it should be. Typically the Metadata is the data that we find in PCF files.
Metadata mode means that the server has control over the projector’s active PCF Data. Accessing the
Active PCF data of a projector in Metadata mode from the touch panel will fail. Metadata Control needs
to be disabled first.

Content of the metadata info


Metadata Control from a server:
• Provides projector setup instructions without operator action
• Contains instructions provided by content creator (PostProduction)
• Information sent from server to projector at start of the movie
• Setup parameters include:
- Target color space (7-point) (TCGD)
- Color space conversion parameters (CSC)
- Gamma (LUT-DG)
- Incoming image size (SOURCE)
- Projector Lookup tables (LUT-AL, LUT-CLUT)

4.4.5.2 Steps to be taken for metadata control


Overview
1. With Metadata enable not checked, fill out first the metadata server address together with the metadata
file.
2. Set up the “time to live”.
3. Activate the metadata

4.4.5.5 Time to live (TTL)


Why used
The TTL (Time to live) is a countdown time-out used to prevent the use of metadata information through
loss of communication.
The server or touch panel will continuously ask for the metadata status. As long as the ’time to live’ counter
has not been expired and the metadata status command is executed, this TTL value will be reset to its
original value set in the TTL interface.
If the TTL value reaches ’0’, the system will enable the metadata function.

How to set up
1. Tip into the TTL input field and select the current value. Change that value by entering the new value
with the digit keys on the keyboard (the value must be in seconds)
Or,
click on the up down of the spin box next to the TTL input field to change the value to the desired one.

Overview

• Assign an Ethernet address via DHCP
• Manually assign an Ethernet address

5.1.1 Ethernet Connections

IP
Internet Protocol. The network layer of TCP/IP. Required for communication with the internet.

Overview
In the user interface two IP addresses can be changed:
• Cinema IP address – TI IP Address: this IP address is used as the primary access point. This is the IP
address used by servers. The servers need to connect to the TI interface board to send over Metadata
and Subtitle data.
• Projector IP address – Barco IP Address: This IP address is used to update the Barco controller DIM
PC. It will also be used for third parties that would like to integrate the projector into a custom system.
E.g. Post houses that want to control a projector through a Creston Controller.
When the projector is set up in a network configuration, those 2 different Ethernet address should be
applied to the projector.
Both Ethernet interfaces, from TI boards and from the Barco controller, are internally connected to a built-in
Ethernet Hub. Both Ethernet ports on the connection panel are also connected to that built-in Ethernet
hub. This hub detects automatically if a straight or crossover cable is used and adjusts this internally. Both
straight and crossed cable can be used.

After changing any Ethernet configuration setting, it is NECESSARY to reset/restart the


projector’s electronics

R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010 115


5. Installation

Subnet mask
A number that is used to identify a subnetwork so that IP addresses can be shared on a local
area network.

Default Gateway
A router that serves as an entry point into and exit point out of a network. For example, a
local network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect it to a wide area network (WAN) or to the
Internet.

DNS server
Computers, Projectors, Touch panels connected to a network are referenced by their IP ad-
dress. The only problem is that remembering IP addresses is not easy. If you need to use
hundreds of addresses then it will become impossible to remember them. This is why domain
names are created. Internet names (domain and host names) are just aliases to these IP ad-
dresses. When you use an Internet address it is automatically translated to an IP address. In
fact a program or device that translates those Internet names to IP addresses is called a DNS
Server.

Host name
This is the name that will be returned, along with the IP address in response to the UDP broad-
cast query for projectors/touch panels.

DHCP
Dynamic host configuration protocol. DHCP is a communications protocol that lets network
administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organi-
zation’s network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet
needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets up its computer users with a connection
to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine. Without DHCP, the IP ad-
dress must be entered manually at each computer and, if computers move to another location
in another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network ad-
ministrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends
a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

UDP
User Datagram Protocol

What should be set up for each Ethernet address


2 ways can be used to assign addresses:

116 R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010


5. Installation

• use the DHCP setting so that a automatic address will be assigned.


• Assign manually an IP address, Subnet-mask, default gateway and DNS server address.
- Set the IP-Address field to the desired value. This must NOT be 0.0.0.0 for static IP-Address as-
signment. The IP address identifies a projector’s location on the network in the same way a street
address identifies a house on a city block. Just as a street address must identify a unique residence,
an IP address must be globally unique and have a uniform format.
- Set the Subnet-Mask as appropriate for the local subnet.
- Set the Default-Gateway to the IP-Address of the local router (MUST be on the local subnet!) on
the same network as this projector that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local
network. This must not be 0.0.0.0. If there is no router on the projector’s local subnet then just set
this field to any IP-Address on the subnet.
- Set the DNS server address to the IP address if the DNS server obtained from your network ad-
ministrator or Internet Service Provider. That address can be any address. The DNS Server might
be used in future releases to support the projector subtitling mechanism.

5.1.2 Get overview current Ethernet addresses


How to get an overview
1. First tip Installation and then Communication.

5.3 Lamp alignment


5.3.1 About lamp alignment
Overview
Due to ageing of the lamp, the light output will be reduced if no corrective actions are taken. To bring
the light output again on its normal level, lamp alignment should be performed on a regular time. Also
when the lamp is replaced physically the alignment procedure has to be done. Normal Z-axis alignment is
enough to bring the light output again on its normal level. But sometimes, alignment of the other axes are
also necessary to reach the maximum light output. Depending on the used lamp house, these alignments
can be done manually on the lamp house itself or motorized by tipping on the motor keys in the lamp
alignment menu.

5.3.2 Lamp light output history


Visual presentation
The current measured value is indicated on top of the window together with the minimum and maximum
values.

What can be done ?
The light output of the lamp can be adjusted manually using the motor functions on the lamp house or
by turning manually on the adjustment knobs on the lamp house. In both cases a preview is given in the
Lamp light output history.
Z-axis alignment is the fast alignment to improve the light output. While the X and Y axis alignment is fine
alignment to further improve the light output.

How to align
1. For the Z-axis alignment, tip on left or right arrow keys below Z alignment. (image 5-11)
Tip first in one direction and look to the preview to see if there is an improvement. If there is an improve-
ment, continue in the same direction. If not, tip in the other direction until the maximum light output is
obtained.
2. For a fine adjustment, adjust the X and Y axis. Tip on the corresponding buttons.
Adjust the X-axis (left - right keys) and the Y-axis (up down keys) for maximum current light output (Foot-
lambert Measured). Carefully adjust for maximum light output. Once over the maximum, tip slightly in
opposite direction to reach the maximum light output again.
Do this for each direction and minimum repeat this adjustment cycle twice.

5.5 Lamp recovery


About lamp recovery
When there was an external power failure and the power is coming up again, the projector lamp starts up
again in the same state as before the power failure.
The projector software has to know if the projector must remember its recovery settings.

About the use of an UPS system


When the projector is connected to an UPS system the electronics remains powered during an external
power failure. The lamp power supply is down and the lamp is out. When the external power is coming
up again, the lamp power supply starts again and the lamp starts in the same state as before the power
failure.
This UPS system reduces the restart of the complete system significantly.

How to setup
1. While in Installation, tip Lamp and then tip Lamp recovery button (1). (image 5-15)
The Lamp recovery window opens (2).
2. To activate the lamp recovery mode, tip the check box next to Lamp recover mode.

5.6 Linked lamp output


5.6.1 About linked lamp output
Goal
When 2 projectors are projecting on the same screen, e.g. for projecting 3D images, then it necessary
that both projectors are using the same light output, otherwise a difference in brightness will be visible
between both images.
To obtain this goal, one projector will be set as master and this master will manipulate the target CLO
value of the slave so that the lamp output will be aligned between both projectors. When the lamp output
of the master changes, then the lamp output of the slave will follow.

5.7 Color calibration


Overview
• Introduction to Color Calibration
• Color Correction Process
• Color Measuring
• Verifying the colors after correction

5.7.1 Introduction to Color Calibration


Overview
The color coordinates for the projected primary colors must be measured on the screen. The values can
be different than those originally inside the projector due to reflection on the screen or due to the influence
of the glass between the projection booth and the theatre and even the projected colors are different from
setup to setup.

R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010 135


5. Installation

These measured color coordinates are references for the projector and will be entered so that the projector
knows how its colors are projected on the screen.
This reference measuring, together with the delivered gamut file of the film will introduce a color correction
so that the film will be projected with the correct color settings.

5.7.2 Color Correction Process


Step to be taken
1. Measuring of the color gamut of the projector.
2. Select a target color gamut file or upload a target color gamut file.
3. Verify the colors on screen after correction (optional step).

While executing step 2, the previous color corrections on the projector will be removed.
3D tables are bypassed.

When standard processing is selected the cinema color correction is not valid. The
active TCGD data is not taken into account.

5.7.3 Color Measuring

CAUTION: Set anamorphic lens factor to 1.0 before starting the color measuring.

How to measure
1. Tip on Measure Native Colors (1). (image 5-17)
The Color Gamut Measurement window is displayed showing the current color values (2).
2. Select a color by tipping on the color name (3). (image 5-18)
A loading color test pattern message will be displayed. After a while, the selected color will be projected
without any color correction on the screen.
The selected input fields of that specific color becomes white (4).
3. Measure the color coordinates for that specific color.
4. Enter the measured coordinates in the white input fields. Enter just the digits of the decimal value.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other colors and for white by starting at step 2.
6. Do you want to use the color calibration values in a macro file?
If yes, press Save to file (5). (image 5-19)
Tip: This is handy when using the same projector for normal cinema projection and for 3D cinema
projection. The color calibration can then be done via a macro file but first, both color calibration
files must be saved.
The Save measured colors to file window opens (6).
If no, continue with step 8.
7. Enter a name in the Filename input field (7) and press Save (8).
The color values will be stored for later use.

5.7.4 Verifying the colors after correction

CAUTION: Set anamorphic factor to 1.0 before verifying the colors after correction.

Overview
The color coordinates of the projected image after correction can be verified by measuring the coordinates
on the screen again. The measured values should be the values as indicated on the interface.

This part of the color correction procedure is optional.

How to verify
1. Tip on Verify Corrected Colors (1). (image 5-20)
The verify colors window opens (2).
2. Select a color button.
A loading message will be displayed.
The selected color is displayed on the screen with color correction.
3. Measure the coordinates with a colorimeter on the screen and check with the values below the color
button.
4. Repeat this procedure for other colors, starting by step 2.

5.9.3.1 Introduction
Overview
The touch panel makes use of an internal “disk chip”. This chip contains a file system that can handled
in a similar way as a file system on PC. That allows the touch panel to make use of files and directory
structures similar to those found on a PC.
The state of the projector stored in something called ACTIVE. ACTIVE can be compared with a file.
Changes made to the projector are immediately reflected in ACTIVE. So ACTIVE always represents the
current state of the system. When powering up the latest state will be restored.
Within the interface it is possible to manage the internal file system and the ACTIVE configuration.

ACTIVE
Stores the current state of the projector.

About synchronization
Macro files are stored on the controller. Some cinema servers are able to interface directly with this con-
troller, others not. Those which are not able to interface with the controller, can still interface only with the
cinema front end. Therefore, virtual macros are created on the cinema front end which call on their turn
the real macros. That process is call macro synchronization.

How to synchronize
1. While the File manager window is open, tip on Sync (1). (image 5-42)
A synchronization message is displayed.
2. Tip Synchronize now (2).
A synchronization warning is displayed. When continuing, all existing virtual macros on the DLP cinema
front end will be deleted and a new copy will be created as they exist on the controller.

Overview
• Introduction
• Start up the cloning
• Create a Basic clone file
• Create an individual preset clone
• Create a clone for a typical file type

5.9.4.1 Introduction
Overview
Users with multiple installations want to setup these installation in the same way. The same macros linked
with the same buttons, etc. Therefore it is handy to setup one system and then to make a copy of the
created macro files with all its links. This is called cloning.
Also, before changing the Input and Communication interface, make a clone of the specific settings so
that these settings can be restored in a new unit.
A clone file can be restored on identical projectors.
Different options are available to create a clone file:

R59770488 COMMUNICATOR TOUCH PANEL 04/05/2010 163


5. Installation

• Basic cloning with a preset clone mode: all presets (macros) that are linked to a button and the files
the presets are pointing to, including the position on the touch panel and local keypad are zipped in
the clone file. Setup specific files are normally not included in the zip file.
• Advanced cloning, individual preset clone: only one specific preset (macro) and the files the preset is
pointing to is included in the zip file.
• Advanced cloning, specific file type: clones all files of a specific file type. E.g. clone of all PCF files).
• Advanced cloning, individual files: clones specific files of different types you want to clone.

5.9.4.2 Start up the cloning

6.3.2 About custom settings


Overview
It is possible to define what each type of user can do with the touch panel application. A difference can
be set for users and service technicians.
The setup is done in an user management xml file which can be edited externally and then uploaded via
Load custom settings.
Each item can have a Read attribute or a ReadWrite attribute or both. This attribute can be 50, 100 or
150. The attribute value defines what is accessible for certain user profile.

50 default user access level


100 theatre technician access level
150 service technician access level

When an attribute is set to 50, then the default user, theatre technician and service technician have access.
When set to 150, only the service technician has access. So, the higher the value, the less people with
access rights.
The default access file is given below.
This file can be used as starting point to create your own file. Copy and paste the file below in an XML
editor or notepad and edit the file. Only the lines which are different to the current setting should be
included in the file. When finished, save the file on a USB stick or upload it on the touch panel so that it
can be loaded as new settings.

Default user access file


This file contains all available items which are possible on the touch panel. This file is not multilingual.

6.4.7 Touch panel calibration


About the calibration
Normally the touch panel is factory calibrated and can immediately be used. But due to some circum-
stances it can be necessary to re-calibrate the touch panel. This is the case when you tip on the touch
panel and the cursor is on another place with a wrong setting selected as result.
When the calibration procedure is started, the software will indicate five crosses one after each other (in
the four corners and one in the middle). The operator has to tip on the middle of the cross before the
next cross is displayed. This procedure will learn the touch panel its reference coordinates so that it will
function perfectly with the cinema application.

How to calibrate
1. While in the Touch panel menu, tip on Display.
2. Go to Advanced and tip Calibrate now (1). (image 6-28)
A Recalibration message opens to ask if you really want to re-calibrate the touch panel (2).
3. Tip Yes to continue (3).
A second message indicates that the calibration will start after a time-out of 10 seconds (4).
Click OK (5) or wait until the end of time-out period. A white screen is displayed with the first cross in
the upper left corner (6).
4. Tip in the middle of the cross.
The next cross is displayed, tip also in the middle of the cross and continue until all five crosses are
displayed.
At the end, the normal application screen will be displayed again.

pletely out of calibration and the buttons cannot be reached again.
