I have a Barco 808 that I've been using for a couple years. Right after I bought the projector I picked up a used rcvds 800 switcher thinking that I might need more input options in the future. I hate to say it, but I never actually tried the unit out till tonight, and needless to say I ran into some trouble.
The power switch was sticky, but I managed to get the unit on. However, all I see in the display is a "-" There are several boards installed in the unit--2 s/composite boards and at least 3 RGB boards. None of the lights are lit on these boards. I have a cable connected from my computer into the 1st RGB board and a 5 wire RGB cable from the output to the projector. Do I need to connect something else to make it work? How do I select the proper input? None of the buttons on the front seem to do anything. If I push the standby button nothing happens. Is the unit defective?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! (I'm trying to hook both a computer and a separate video processor to the switcher and I just received all the cables I need to make it happen and nothing!)
Thanks,
Brian
