DPI M-Vision Cine LED  Projector drivers for OS 2.0

Driver Features:

• Feedback to C4 System
• Ability to log and view temperatures
• Ability to define email notification on lamp hours exceeded
• Full feedback of picture formats, frequencies
• Logs maximum temperatures into the C4 project

Driver documentation:   

Installation:

1. Drop in the driver
2. Connect in "Connections" the inputs for picture.
3. Connect to RS port/ or fill in the IP address in the network connections
4. Choose in the driver's properties which connection you will use for communication by selecting "Network" or "RS" in "Communication mode"
5. Insert the license key and activate the driver
6. Make sure the driver prints out "Driver running" in Properties

Notes: 

• This driver works eighter with RS232 connections directly from any C4 controller or via a transparent LAN to RS converter like the NPort 5110 from Moxa (which were used for development).

• During the cooling phase after switch off, the driver does not queue the commands. If a ON command is received a restart process will be initialized which will stop receiving a OFF command.

Properties:

• Driver info section: The driver will display informations about the actual status, as well some environnement variables
• Licensing section: Without key the driver will work for 10 minutes The "Activation status" should display the expiry date of the license

• Communication mode: Selects the drivers control connection to the projector

• On to input delay (s): Control 4 sends per default the input change immediately after the ON command. While starting the projector may not accept any commands, this options give the possiblitty to delay the input command according to the set value (seconds)

• Lamp warning treshold (h): During operation the lamp hours will be checked and display'd in the Properties. By setting this threshold the driver will set the Variable Lamp_hours_reached" to "true" if the lamp hours are more than the entered value. Otherwise the Variable will be set each time to "false"

• All Variables can be accessed via "Programming" in Composer     

Programming Variables:

• Lamp_hours: Returns (number) the actual lamp hours
• Error_codes: Returns (string) error codes sent by the projector
• Lamp_hours_reached: (string) "true" if the lamp hours are more than the "Lamp warning treshold (h)" set in Properties. Default = "false"
• Aspect_ratio: (string) Only available if projector has sent feedback (no fake feedback). Possible values: "16:9", "4:3","4:3 Narrow", "Theaterscope", "Native".
• Calibration_preset: (string) Represents the calibration preset, possible values: "Preset A", "Preset B", "Preset C", "Preset D", "Default".
• H_refresh_rate: (string) Example: 67.385 KHZ
• V_refresh_rate: (string) Example: 60 HZ
• Pixel_clock: (string) Example: 148.2 MHZ
• Signal: (string) Example: 1080p/60Hz
• Inlet_Temperature: (number) Actual temperature from the air inlet
• Red_DMD_or_LED_temp: (number) Actual temperature from red LED driver
• Green_DMD_or_LED_temp: (number) Actual temperature from green LED driver
• Blue_DMD_or_LED_temp: (number) Actual temperature from blue LED driver
• Power_Supply_heat_sink_temp: (number) Actual temperature from power supply 

Programming "Device Specific Commands"

• Set_calibration_preset: Set the projector to the chosen preset
• Set_aspect_ratio: Adjust the aspect ratio from the picture       

Send a email when lamp hours are exceeded: (only if 4sight is active)

1. Setup a email in "Agents", text and maybe some variables from the projector
2. Set a conditional "When the rooms turns off" and insert the conditional "If Room › Projector › Lamp_hours_reached EQUAL TO true" and insert the  action to send your pre set email.
