Before the VideoReQuest will send feedback data, you must send a command to the
VideoReQuest that initializes communication. See
Initializing the Connection
on Page 6 for
more information.
All feedback is formatted in the same manner as commands sent
TO
the VideoReQuest. In
general, the format is as follows:
HEADER DATA

In this case, the
Subtype
determines what data you are receiving (i.e. Movie Title, Genre,
etc) and the
Data
portion contains the actual data (i.e. the actual Movie Title, the actual
Genre name, etc). The length of the Data portion is determined by the 2 byte
Data Size
in
the Header.
For help understanding what each
Subtype
is, see
Appendix A
.
