LDV Control Commands
Introduction
The Mantis may be controlled serially via the Laserdisc emulation
control set described in this section. This interface sends
commands to the Mantis dictating video playback, player settings
or to report back system information.
❏
Commands received and recognized by the Mantis return a
R
(
ACK
)
❏
Commands not recognized report back to the controller as
an error
The following sections describe setting up communication and
programming the show controller.
COM Port Settings
Any serial device can control the Mantis: manufacturers of these
controllers include Crestron, AMX, Triad, Alcorn McBride and
Sky Skan. This list of controllers is not all inclusive nor is it an
endorsement of any one device.
Configure the controller communication port, COM port, to
properly communicate data with the Mantis. These commands
include either upper and/or lower case ASCII characters. Other
ASCII arguments such as
<CR>
(carriage return) are also used.
Visual Circuit VCC control commands are proprietary and are
not designed to be mixed with LDV control commands.
Combining the two could cause inconsistent results and is not
recommended.
