• Restoring a set of key data
About this chapter
It is extremely important to make backups of your projector data after each setting change.
This chapter describes how to use Barco’s Projector Support software tool to make a backup of the key data of a projector and how
to restore this backup.
A full backup holds the full set of data which is available on the PMP of the projector:
• panel settings
• projector settings
• standard/customer files
• serial number
• history
• runtimes
• option key
• etc.
Recovery of the serial number and the runtimes is possible, on condition that the processor of the target PMP does not contain this
information yet (i.e. it must be a new PMP).
In a (local) network where multiple PMP boards are present, only replace one PMP at a time to prevent restoring
a backup to a wrong PMP.
C AUTION : A backup file includes alignment data that is related to the original projector only: uploading these
files to another projector may result in bad image quality!
C AUTION : Pressing in the Tools section deletes all data from the PMP, even default settings
and factory data!
