Summary
NEC projector control protocol using binary commands over RS-232C serial and TCP/IP (wired LAN). Supports power on/off, input switching, picture/sound/onscreen mute, volume and picture adjustment, lens control and memory, shutter, freeze, eco mode, edge blending, PIP, and extensive status querying. Commands use a binary frame format with checksum validation.

Events
# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited event/notification protocol described in source
# The protocol appears to be strictly request-response
Macros
# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step sequences explicitly described in source
Safety
confirmation_required_for:
- power_off # cooling period follows; no commands accepted during cooling
interlocks:
- description: No commands accepted during power-on or power-off (including cooling) sequence
- description: Interlock switch open status reported in error status DATA09 bit 1
# UNRESOLVED: full safety interlock procedures not documented in source
Notes
- Command protocol is binary with hex byte frames. Each command includes a checksum byte calculated as the low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes.
- Response format uses a leading byte with bit 7 set (Axh) for error responses and (2xh/2xh) for success. Commands starting with 02h get 22h response prefix; 03h get 23h; 00h get 20h.
- Power on/off commands block all other commands during the transition period (including cooling after power-off).
- Error responses include ERR1/ERR2 byte pairs with specific error codes (see section 2.4 of source).
- Mute states (picture, sound, onscreen) are automatically cancelled by input switch or video signal change. Sound mute is also cancelled by volume adjustment.
- Lamp usage time and filter usage time are returned in seconds but updated at one-minute intervals.
- Serial baud rate supports 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 bps. Default is not stated.
- Some input terminal and eco mode hex values vary by model (see Appendix tables).
- Standby mode requirements for receiving power-on commands vary by model and connection type (serial vs LAN).
- The
compatible_with.modelsfield uses "NEC Display" as a generic placeholder; this command reference covers multiple NEC projector models (the source document references model-specific variations throughout).
