Summary
Canon LCD projector supporting RS-232 and wired LAN control. RS-232 protocol uses ASCII header 'V' + command code + optional data + CR terminator. LAN control supports TCP (Telnet on port 23) and is compatible with Crestron, AMX Device Discovery, and PJLink Class 1. Projector supports power on/off, input selection, image adjustment, and comprehensive image geometry controls.

Notes
Command structure: VXX[Command][Data]<CR> where XX=00-98 is projector ID, 99 broadcasts to all projectors. Set commands use suffix n for parameter value. Minimum inter-command delay: 1ms for RS-232 direct, 200ms for Telnet.
RS232 by Telnet limitations: max 50 bytes network payload, max 26 bytes per RS-232 command, min 200ms between commands.
Crestron/IP settings: IP ID 3, Port 5. PJLink Class 1 (v1.00) supported.
Standby modes: Full (both network + RS-232), RS-232 only (network disabled), Network only (RS-232 disabled). No password required for RS-232 control.
