Using an appropriate RS232 interface (see D—28, Cables & Connections) the
projector can be used in conjunction with a third party switching device. Currently
‘Extron System 8’ and ‘Extron System 10’ are compatible with the projector.
The projector and external switching device communicate at RS232 levels using the
following protocols:-
Data Rate:
9,600 baud
Data bits:
8
Stop bits:
1
Parity:
None
Handshake:
None
At present, an external switcher will allow you to control the lamp power, picture
mute and channel change functions. Messages transferred to and from the projector
are made up as a series of ASCII coded hexadecimal characters formed into
message packets using the structure below:-
Header Data Length Data Checksum
Header
Represents data type according to the table below.
Data Length
Will indicate the amount of variable length data to follow, in
bytes, not including the checksum.
Data
Variable length string of characters.
Checksum
A checksum of XX will indicate that the checksum should be
ignored and the message treated as correctly received.
