Author Topic: Barco Communicator Lite Marcial Feliciano Ramos Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Puerto Rico Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-09-2013 11:01 AM                     How I manage to use the Communicator Lite? I read the pdf about it from My Barco but I cant connect to the projector. I need to install some on the projector? I follow the instructions and the "home page" for the CL doesn't appear the only thing I get is a page with the Barco Logo and the logs for the projector. Thanks for any info you guys can bring me.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

You need "DC Communicator" to talk with DCinema projectors.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-10-2013 09:02 AM                     There's reference to the "lite" version in the 10Sx documentation - but like Steve says, you won't get much use from it with any other Barco D-cinema projector. You want "Communicator PC" (currently v4.6.7) to talk to any S1 or B/C S2 projector.  |  IP: Logged Marcial Feliciano Ramos Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Puerto Rico Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-10-2013 11:47 AM                     Thanks for the info. I already have the Communicator I was reading about this and never saw on the pdf that doesnt apply to D-Cinema. I was hoping we can use tablets to connect directly to the projector to check and diagnose while we arrived to the theater.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-10-2013 02:07 PM                     Dave, to be extra fussy 4.6.7 is the post production version. Normal version is 4.6.6!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-11-2013 06:22 AM                     My mistake... Communicator Lite is nothing more than a Web application running on the projector itself. Note, all Barco projectors have a web application but it would appear that the DP2K-10S is the first that actually also has basic functions of Communicator on it too. All you need is a web browser running on your tablet/phone...etc and point it to the IP of the projector and then go through the normal login procedures.  |  IP: Logged Marcial Feliciano Ramos Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Puerto Rico Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-11-2013 09:04 PM                     Exactly, but is already working for example 15c and 20c. Or right now only on the 10x? I tried on a 20c and nothing happens only the page that I described above.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The 10S is the first to have controls via the web page.  |  IP: Logged
