Control Features
HDMI-TPS-RX110AY has several control functions. This chapter is about to present the possibilities through
two simple layout examples.
System Control via Local Ethernet (Example)
Thefollowingwaysareavailablefordevicecontrol:
▪
The
System controller
can communicate with the
Receiver
via the TPS line of the
Transmitter
with using
LW2/LW3protocolcommands.
▪
The
System controller
can communicate directly with the
Projector
viatheirIP:portaddress.
▪
The
Receiver
cansendacommands(e.g.asanactionbytheEventManager)totheIP:portaddressofthe

Serial Interface
Technical Background
Serial data communication can be established via the local RS-232 port (Phoenix connector) or via the TPS
lines.TheRS-232ports–whichareconnectedtotheCPU–canbeconfiguredseparately(e.g.iftheBaud
rates are different, the CPU does the conversion automatically between the ports). The RS-232 port can be
switched to
Pass-through mode
,
Control mode
, or
Command Injection mode
;seethefigurebelow.
ATTENTION!
Onlyonemodecanbeusedatthesametime:Controlmode,orPass-throughmode,or
Command Injection mode. If you choose one of them, TPS serial link and local RS-232 port will operate
in the same mode.
Pass-through Mode
Block diagram of the serial interface in pass-through mode
In pass-through mode, the given device forwards the data that is coming from one of its ports to another
same type of port. The command is not processed by the CPU. Incoming serial data is forwarded from TPS
input port to local RS-232 port and vica versa inside the receiver.
Control Mode
Block diagram of the serial interface in control mode
The incoming data from the given port is processed and interpreted by the CPU. The mode allows to control
thereceiverdirectly.LW2orLW3protocolcommandsareaccepted–dependingonthecurrentportsetting.
