Introduction
The projector can be controlled by using an external control system or a PC via a LAN or RS232 serial interface, using a terminal-emulation
program, such as HyperTerminal.
Operation commands
Operation commands simulate menu operations and determine the settings of the projector, and use the following format:
• All commands consist of ASCII text strings starting with the letters ‘op’, and ending with an ASCII Carriage Return character:
op <operation> <command> [CR]
• The <command> string can take one of the following formats:
<command> Description
Set = <value> Makes the setting take that value.
Get ? Asks what the current value is.
The value is returned as an ASCII text string.
Increment + Adds 1 to the current value.
Decrement – Subtracts 1 from the current value.
Execute (none) Performs an action.
Examples
op input.sel = 1 [CR] sets the input signal to DVI
op input.sel ? [CR] asks what is the input signal
op brightness + [CR] increments the brightness setting
op contrast – [CR] decrements the contrast setting
op auto.img [CR] commands the projector to attempt to re-synchronise to the current input source
Key commands
Key commands duplicate remote control key presses and use the following format:
ky <operation>[CR]
Examples
ky testpattern[CR] brings up the list of available test patterns (identical to pressing the TEST PATTERN key on the remote)
ky input[CR] brings up the list of available input sources (identical to pressing the INPUT key on the remote)
ky power.off[CR] switches the projector off (identical to pressing the POWER OFF key on the remote)
Notes
Details of how to connect to the
projector, using the serial control
or LAN inputs, can be found in the
Connections Guide.
Spaces in the commands are
necessary.
e.g op input.sel = 1
NOT opinput.sel=1
The TCP Port number is 7000.
The Serial Port settings are:
● Baud rate - 115,200 bps
● Data length - 8 bits
● Stop bits - one
● Parity - none
● Flow control - none
