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 specifications 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 specific 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 configure 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.
Simplified 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 specific 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 Simplified Command. Value is assigned for executing function. For example, if you want to change the picture mode, the appropriate value assigned for the desired picture mode should be chosen.
