Chowmain Software has released the Optoma universal projector driver for RTI which allows for full control over most available Optoma projectors from the high-end laser down to the entry level DLPs.

The driver supports control over IP or RS-232 and is fully tagged and ready for quick programming in Integration Designer Apex.

In addition to comprehensive control, the driver provides feedback for current input and power state, lamp hours and system messages. Depending on the model, you will have access to advanced features like HDR modes, 3D control, Audio control, setting triggers, even sending messages to the screen.

Combine lens memory functionality with Kaleidescape or other similar media players with aspect ratio feedback to automate the perfect 2.35 home theatre experience so that RTI automates the projector lens shifting to match the aspect ratio of your Kaleidescape system automatically.

Chowmain worked in conjunction with Amber Technology and Connected Media Australia on the project, testing the driver on their entry, mid and high-end Optoma projectors.
