The ‘dvp’ Header, followed by a comma (no
space), is used to delimit the Header from the
Command. The following is an example, using
Windows HyperTerminal, for Power On using a
standard Modem Cable:
»
dvp,on [Enter]
([Enter] denotes a carriage return – pressing
the Enter key on the keyboard)
•
The DVP1080MF goes through a 10 second
initializing process when the ON command
is sent. Do not send any commands for 10
seconds after sending the ON command.
You may also issue simultaneous commands
by adding a comma to delimit each Function
Command prior to issuing the Carriage Return
Command.

dvp,x,a2,srn4[Enter]
(Control Syntax = Header, YCrCb
(Component Input), Anamorphic, Scan Rate
1280x720[carriage return])
Personal Computer
(PC Control) Use the
standard Windows HyperTerminal program
to control the DVP-1080. You can use an
equivalent program on a Macintosh computer.
If an RS232 port is unavailable, many types
of USB/Serial converters will work. Select the
options listed below and utilize a standard
9-pin Modem Cable (not a null-modem
cable). Once connection has been established,
type
dvp,help
and then press
[Enter]
. The
OPERATION COMMANDS available will then
be echoed back to your personal computer.

RS232 CONNECTIONS
RS232 OPTION CONNECTOR
The RS232 Option connector (10 in the diagram
on page 8) is used in the latest firmware revi-
sions as a serial OUTPUT to control some display
functions. At present this control is limited to
handling power on/off and 50/60Hz switching
on Meridian Faroudja 1080p projectors. When
the DVP1080MF is powered up, it will command
the projector to switch on; and when powered
down, it will also power-down the projector.
Similarly, the DVP1080MF will switch the pro-
jector to 50/60 Hz operation depending on the
active input source. Contact Meridian Technical
Support for details on implementing this func-
tion, as additional features may become available
in due course.
