Command packets consist of "Header" and
"Payload".The Packet Header is consistent for all
packets.The Packet Payload type and content
varies based on the type of packet sent.The
entire packet size is variable, being the sum of
the fixed-size Packet Header and variable-sized
Packet Payload.

Packet Header Format
Introduction
All Packets use the same Packet Header format
illustrated in Table 5.
Tabl e 5
The Packet Header size is fixed at seven bytes
(Intel byte ordering is used).The following code
fragments are taken from these source files
The Packet Header definition is shown below:
typedef struct
{
BYTE ePacketType;//type of the
payload
WORD nPacketSize;//size of the
payload
WORD nCRCPacket;//CRC for the
entire packet
} PACKET_HEADER;
Magic Number
The Magic Number is a fixed value that is used
to insure packet alignment if there are partial
packets received or bytes lost.
The Magic Number is a WORD in length (2
bytes).The Magic Number value is 0xEFBE.
Because Intel byte ordering is used, the ls-byte
of the word is sent first (byte0 = 0xBE), then the
ms-byte (byte1 = 0xEF).

Packe t Type
The Packet Type (ePacketType) is a BYTE in length
number that defines the type of data in the packet.
The following entries are valid packet typess:
Packet Type Name Packet Type NumberDescription
pt_INVALID0Invalid Packet Type
RESERVED1RESERVED
pt_EVENT2Host can send any event defined in
pt_OPERATION3Host can send any operation defined in
Table 6: Packet Types
Packet Payload Size
The Packet Payload Size (nPacketSize) is a BYTE
that defines the size of the Payload portion of
the packet. If the packet contains only header
information, this is zero.Therefore, the total byte
count of any packet = nPacketSize plus 7 (since
the Packet Header is seven bytes long).
Packet Checksum (CRC)
Each packet is CRC’ed using the tables later in
this document.This number is the CRC value for
the complete packet including the Packet Header
and Packet Payload.The CRC is calculated with
the nCRCPacket value initialized to zero.

1.1.3. Packet Payload Definition
Event Packet Type
The Event packet is used by the host system to
send virtual events (such as Zoom, Source, Auto
Adjust, etc.) to the target system. Packet payload
size is 6 bytes.
ByteField NameField ValueDescription
0-1Virtual EventVirtual Event ID as defined through Configurator
2-5ParameterParameter that can be associated with the event.
Table 7: Event Packet Type Format
The source code definition of the Message
packet data structure is:
typedef struct
{
WORD eEvent;
DWORD dwParam;
} EVENT_MESSAGE;
This lets you send any event defined in
Configurator to the system including all remote,
IR, or special events.

Operation Packet Type
The Operation packet is used by the host system
to execute operations (such as Brightness,
Contrast, Image Position, etc) in the target system.
The Operation packet payload size is 25 bytes.
5OPERATION_EXECUTE
1-2OperationOperation ID as defined in Configurator
3-4Is AvailOperation is available
5-8Operation TargetUsed for Operation with Targets.
9-12Operation ValueValue of the Set on a set or the Value of the
13-16Operation Value The Minimum Value of the set
of minimumfor operation command.
17-20Operation Value The Maximum Value of the set
of maximumfor operation command.
21-24Operation Value The Increment Value of the set
of Incrementfor operation command.
These Targets are defined in configurator.
For instance, op_BRIGHTNESS has a
Target of either MAIN or PIP window.
Get on a Return.
Table 8: Operation Packet Payload Format
The source code definition of the Operation
packet data structure is:
typedef struct
{
eOPERATION_TYPE eOpType;
WORD eOperation;
WORD bisAvail;
DWORD dwTarget;
DWORD dwValue;
DWORD lmMin;
DWORD lmMax;
DWORD lmInc;
} OPERATION_MESSAGE;
This lets the user directly perform logical
operations such as "Set Contrast = 80".

1.3. Serial Communication Cable and
Parameters
For external serial communication from a
computer to Philips plasma, Philips recommends
manfactures use RS-232 communations over a
straight through serial cable a 9 pin female D-sub9
connector.
The standard D-sub9 connector on the computer
is a male connector, and Philips Plasma, too.The
wiring between the computer and Philips plasma is
a straight through cable.A 9 pin female to 9 pin
female stright through cable is a very standard
part and readily available in many lengths.
