I've got an Extron System 8+ that I'd like to use with a Barco 808s. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for making a cable from the Barco switcher port to the Extron projector control port?

the manual, found at http://www.extron.com/download/files/userman/System-8-10-plus_ManualF.pdf outlines cabling and switch settings for the barco

The cable is no problem. The trouble is I don't have Extron's "communication adapter" for a Barco. That's what I need a diagram for.

the comm adaptor is not a cable, it's a device. here is one on ebay.

No offense, but that adapter goes for almost 3 times what I paid for the switcher. If I can at least get a pinout for the 808 switcher port, I can probably figure out the rest.

no offense taken - it's not my auction, i'm just telling you how things hook up. if you wait, i'm sure that another comm adapter will come along on ebay, i see them every so often.
