Barco Long Throw Zoom High Resolution En44 Control Spec

Summary

Barco Pulse-family projector controlled via a JSON-RPC 2.0 API ("Pulse API") over TCP/IP (port 9090) or RS-232 serial, with additional HTTP file endpoints under /api for uploading/downloading warp grids, blend masks, and black-level masks. Covers power, source selection, illumination (laser power, CLO), picture settings, warp/blend/black-level file workflows, optics, DMX, environment monitoring, and firmware methods.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
  - serial
  - http
addressing:
  port: 9090
  base_url: "http://{projector-host}/api"  # pattern from source; example given was http://192.168.1.100/api/...
serial:
  baud_rate: 19200
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
auth:
  # Source: authentication optional; only needed for access above normal end-user level.

- powerable
# inferred from property.get / list methods returning state
- queryable
# inferred from input source selection commands present in source
- routable
# inferred from brightness / laser power / picture setting controls present in source

Actions

# kind: action
- id: power_on
  label: Power On Projector
  kind: action
  command: '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "system.poweron"}'

  notes: Best practice: verify system.state is standby or ready before issuing.

- id: power_off
  label: Power Off Projector
  kind: action
  command: '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "system.poweroff"}'
  params: []
  notes: Best practice: verify system.state is on before issuing.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures.
# Operational best practices (not safety interlocks) from source: verify state standby/ready before power on, verify on before power off.

Notes

• JSON-RPC 2.0 over TCP (port 9090) or RS-232 serial (19200 8N1, no flow control); same command set on all connection types.
• Serial cable: 9-pin female to host, 9-pin male to projector; pin 2-2, 3-3, 5-5.
• All parameters passed by name; order does not matter.
• Wait for property.set confirmation before setting same property again — flooding the server reduces performance.
• Methods may omit params; extra params are ignored. Methods like system.poweron return result null (not an error).
• Power on/off are no-ops if projector already in target state or transitioning.
• Subscriptions notify only on change; use property.get for current value.
• API is dynamic: parts depend on peripherals (e.g. motorized zoom lens) and modes (DMX basic = 2 channels; extended exposes more). Introspect to discover exact per-unit API.
• File endpoints also support download via browser/curl (curl -O -J ...); some endpoints require specifying the file name in the URL.
• Warp file format identical to MCM500/400.
• Blend/black-level masks: PNG (up to 16 bit), JPEG, TIFF; grayscale only — color images accepted but only blue channel used. Mask size must match layer resolution: WUXGA 1920x1200, WQXGA 1280x800, 4K 1280x800, 4K Cinemascope 1280x540.
• ECO mode wake: Wake-on-LAN (MAC address), remote/keypad power button, or serial :POWR1\r.

Verification Summary

verdict: verified
checked_at: 2026-08-19T08:55:57.648Z
matched_actions: 50
action_count: 50
confidence: medium
summary: "All 50 spec actions map to wire-level commands documented in the source (27 JSON-RPC methods + 3 HTTP file endpoints + serial wake command); transport params verbatim. (7 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "source is the generic Pulse API command catalog; model-specific command availability varies (lens-dependent, DMX mode-dependent) — introspect at runtime."
- "actual pass code value not stated in source (example \"code\": 98765 is illustrative only)"
- "source does not document its parameters."
- "source contains no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures."
- "authentication pass code value/format not stated (example 98765 illustrative only)."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "HTTP port for file endpoints not explicitly stated in source (example URLs use default http port 80)."
