Control command function
You can control external devices (for example, turning ON/OFF projectors) using RS-232C, LAN, or CEC. You
can register up to 32 commands in the MSD. Associate registered commands with one of 98 operating
conditions (for example, switching control command execution keys, COMMANDs A to I, and switching
video/audio). When execution conditions are met, the associated commands are performed according to the
set execution order. The loop back function allows you to control the commands of MSD itself.

[Fig. 7.33] Associating control commands
In order to control peripheral devices via RS-232C, set
7.10.2 RS-232C operation mode [FUNCTION]
” to
“TRANSMITTER”. For HDBaseT output connector (OUT1B to OUT4B), the mode is fixed at
“TRANSMITTER”; no menu is displayed.
In order to control peripheral devices via LAN, set
7.11.4 LAN operation mode [FUNCTION]
” to
“TRANSMITTER”. For HDBaseT output connector (OUT1B to OUT4B), you do not need to change the mode
since it is fixed at
“TRANSMITTER”.
When a control command is executed, the user setting for the text of “MEMO” is displayed (Example 1), and if
the reply command is received, the “MEMO” text registered for the reply command is also displayed (Example
2) for one second (when the control command that is used for checking the reply command is executed).
