Panasonic PT DS DW DZ xK2 Control Spec

Summary

Panasonic professional projector series supporting RS-232 serial control. Protocol uses STX/ETX-wrapped ASCII commands with 4-byte projector ID addressing, 3-byte command mnemonics, and optional subcommand blocks. No authentication required. Command timeout guidance: 10s minimum, 60s warm-up delay before first command post lamp-start.

Notes

Command timing: Wait ≥60s after lamp starts illuminating before sending first command. Wait ≥0.5s between consecutive commands (after receiving response). Timeout ≥10s for any single command.

ID broadcast: Commands targeted at ALL/Group IDs return response only when projector ID matches or when RESPONSE(ID GROUP) is enabled in RS232C settings.

Error handling: REMOTE2 mode gives priority to REMOTE2 input; commands differing from REMOTE2 setup return ER401. Some geometry commands return ER401 on non-DZ870 models. Sub-memory operations use (mm-nn) notation.
