Summary
ASCII serial command protocol for controlling Christie projectors over RS-232 and Ethernet. Covers image, geometry, lamp, input routing, configuration, lens, and service commands using a 3-letter code (+ optional 4-letter subcode) framed in parentheses.
Transport
protocols:
- serial
serial:
baud_rate: 115200
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: none
auth:
type: none # inferred: no login procedure for normal commands in source (service-mode login via UID is for service functions only)
Traits
- powerable # inferred from PWR power on/off command examples
- routable # inferred from SIN input/source change command examples
- queryable # inferred from SST?, LIF+LP1H?, PIF+MDLN? query examples
- levelable # inferred from BRT/CON/CLR/TNT level-setting command examples

Variables
# UNRESOLVED: command-line protocol is parameterised via inline argument values rather than discrete variables
Events
# UNRESOLVED: source does not describe unsolicited notifications distinct from query replies
Macros
# UNRESOLVED: source does not define multi-step macro sequences
Safety
confirmation_required_for:
- factory_defaults # requires literal "111" to prevent accidental use
interlocks:
- standby_mode_1w # in 1W standby mode, system cannot power on via UART/WEB/USB (only keypad)
- service_mode # many service commands (factory defaults, color wheel index, projector info) only work in service mode
<!-- UNRESOLVED: source mentions default PIN "12345" for projector; no other safety interlocks stated -->
Notes
Message framing: every message begins with "(" and ends with ")". A space between code and parameter is optional. Optional "#" prefix requests full acknowledgement echo. Modifiers "n" and "p" step through enum values without specifying an absolute value.
Network commands (NET+) configure the Ethernet port; the same ASCII serial commands can be sent over RS-232 or over the ETHERNET port.
Source document is titled "E Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information". User-stated device name is "Christie UHD Series"; applicability to UHD Series is not confirmed in this source.
Test patterns 6-11 (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cyan) require service-mode login. Grid and Color Bars test patterns take up to 18 seconds to switch away from.

Known Gaps
- NET+GATE
- NET+RSET
- "source document references \"E Series\"; compatibility with UHD Series not confirmed in this document."
- "device name in input is \"Christie UHD Series\" but source doc is titled \"E Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information\". Spec generated from protocol commands present in source; UHD-Series-specific applicability not stated."
- "command-line protocol is parameterised via inline argument values rather than discrete variables"
- "source does not describe unsolicited notifications distinct from query replies"
- "source does not define multi-step macro sequences"
- "source mentions default PIN \"12345\" for projector; no other safety interlocks stated"
- "TCP/IP port number for Ethernet control not stated in source (source describes RS-232 only with explicit parameters; Ethernet mentioned as transport but no port given)."
