1. Overview

1-1. Introduction

The projector is remotely controllable over RS-232C as well as Ethernet. It is useful for setting up the projector away from the operator. This protocol manual describes the speciﬁ cations such as packet format and procedures for controlling the projector. In the following sections below, the term “CONTROLLER” is used as a device which controls the projector. CONTROLLER can be a PC or other speciﬁ c device that is able to handle RS-232C or Ethernet. Although most of commands are available for both RS-232C and Ethernet, some commands are dedicated to Ethernet.

* Ethernet is a registered trademark of Xerox Corporation.

1-2. Glossary of Terms

Table 1-1 Glossary of Terms

Terms Abbreviated Description

CONTROLLER _ Command initiator such as PCs. PROJECTOR _ Front projector.

SDAP Simple Display Advertisement Protocol Protocol name for advertising the projector status over

Ethernet.

SDCP Simple Display Control Protocol Protocol name for controlling projector over Ethernet. PJLink _ Protocol name for controlling projector over Ethernet.

DDDP Dynamic Device Discovery Protocol AMX Device Discovery is the protocol name by AMX

to enable to conﬁ gure the AMX control system and other intended devices.

1-3. Protocol Stack Structure

The protocol stack structure diagram is shown below. Though the stack is drawn for RS-232C and Ethernet separately, the following portions are common.

Table 1-2 Common Portions in Protocol Stack

Layer Name Description

Sub Command Value is assigned for projector’s functions. Refer to the section 2-1 for detail description.

Simpliﬁ ed Command Packet format for sending/receiving “Sub Command”. Refer to the section 3-6-1 for detail

description.

Because of traditional portions for Ethernet general layer, “TCP/IP”, “UDP/IP”, “HTTP” and “SNMP” are out of scope in this document. SDCP speciﬁ c command is described in the section 4-3-2. SDAP and SDCP (PJ Talk) are SONY original protocol stack, which are described in the sections 4-3-1 and 4-3-4 respectively.

2. Common Commands

2-1. Sub Commands

Sub Command is the value which is used by Simpliﬁ ed Command. Value is assigned for executing func- tion. For example, if you want to change the picture mode, the appropriate value assigned for the desired picture mode should be chosen.

2-1-1. ITEM List

Item lists are described below. Tables are shown per function category.

3. RS-232C

3-1. Connection

Communication is enabled by the use of a D-Sub 9 Pin cross (reverse) cable. The pin assignment of D-Sub 9 Pin and D-Sub 25 Pin is as follows.

D-Sub 9 Pin D-Sub 25 Pin Name

Shell = FG 1 FG Grounding for safety protection or cable shield

3 2 TxD Transmission data

2 3 RxD Reception data

7 4 RTS Transmission request

8 5 CTS Transmission permission

6 6 DSR Data set ready

5 7 SG GND for signal

1 8 DCD Data channel signal carrier detection

4 20 DTR Data terminal ready

9 22 RI Calling display (Presence/absence of calling signal)

Pin numbers indicated as D-Sub 25 Pin are not used. Assured cable length: 15 m (However, assurance may not be applicable for some cables.)

The software for controlling the projector from a PC is intended for performing transmission and reception for only the TxD and RxD lines. Therefore the handshake normally performed by RS-232C is not necessary.

3-3. Communication Procedure

3-3-1. Outline of Communication

All communication between CONTROLLER (PC, etc.) and DEVICE (PROJECTOR) is performed by the command block format. Communication is started by the issue of a command at CONTROLLER and ended when the return data is sent to CONTROLLER after DEVICE receives the command. CONTROLLER is prohibited from sending several commands at one time. This means that after CONTROLLER sends one command, it cannot send other commands until DEVICE returns the return data. DEVICE sends the return data after processing the command. The time from when CONTROLLER sends the command until the return data is returned differs according to the contents of the command.

When Sircs Direct Command is sent, return data may not be returned in some cases.

3-4. Communication Rules

. When sending a command from CONTROLLER, the return data from PROJECTOR should be received

ﬁ rst before sending the next command. Even if the next command is sent before receiving the return data, since PROJECTOR will not be able to receive that command, it does not return a response to CONTROLLER. Consequently, no error code is also sent.

For detail of the waiting times for PROJECTOR to return the return data after CONTROLLER sends

the command, refer to the section 3-5.

. When a communication error occurs, PROJECTOR ignores the data received until now, and set into the

reception standby state.

. For undeﬁ ned commands or commends determined as invalid by PROJECTOR, PROJECTOR will

send the “NAK” return data to CONTROLLER .

. Take note that when data is written when the input signal of PROJECTOR is unstable, that data (value)

will not be incorporated.

. When INDEX speciﬁ ed SIRCS direct command is transmitted, leave an interval of 45 msec until the

next transmission. (Do not return the return data (ACK, NAK) when the SIRCS direct command is received.)

3-5. Approximate Return Waiting Times

The await-return time is approx. 30 to 2700 msec.

This is the case, unless the communications are interfered anyway.

4-2. Communication Procedure

Communication sequence is shown below. SDCP commands must be issued by CONTROLLER and PROJECTOR responses to it. On the other hand, SDAP commands are sent by PROJECTOR and have no response from CONTROLLER.

CONTROLLER PROJECTOR

SDCP SET/GET Request

The command is executed if it’s valid. Then, the receive command is sent to the CONTROLLER.

Response

(OK/NG)

SDAP Broadcast

Fig. 4-1 Command Sequence

It is prohibited that CONTROLLER send another command before receiving the response to the previous command. Since PROJECTOR executes the command before sending the return data, CONTROLLER must wait a while before receiving the response. The waiting time depends on not only the commands but also network trafﬁ c.

The random number converts a four-byte

integer into a character string. When authentication is successful : Waits for a command. When authentication failed : Returns “PJLINK ERRA”.

When starting connection with authentication setting disabled : Returns “PJLINK 0”, and then waits for

a command.
