1. Overview  
1-1. Introduction  
The projector is remotely controllable over RS-232C. 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.  
Although most of commands are available for both RS-232C.

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

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.

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.

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 recep-  
tion 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 CON-  
TROLLER 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.  
n
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 re-  
ceived first 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 undefined 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 specified 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.  
n
This is the case, unless the communications are interfered anyway.
