Planar EPX Series Control Spec

Summary

Planar EPX Series large-format displays controlled via RS-232 serial binary protocol. Supports power control, input switching (VGA, DP, HDMI, OPS), display adjustment (brightness, contrast, color, gamma), multi-source PIP, audio, OSD, RTC scheduling, EDID management, and network configuration.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
serial:
  baud_rate: 19200  # default; also supports 115200, 38400, 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: null  # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated in source
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Binary Frame Format

Read:    STX(0x07) IDT 0x01 CMD[3]        ETX(0x08)  — 7 bytes
Write:   STX(0x07) IDT 0x02 CMD[3] VAL    ETX(0x08)  — 8 bytes
Return:  STX(0x07) IDT 0x00 CMD[3] REPLY  ETX(0x08)  — 8 bytes

• STX = 0x07, ETX = 0x08
• IDT = don't-care (1 byte)
• Type: 0x01 = read, 0x02 = write, 0x00 = return from monitor
• CMD = 3-byte ASCII mnemonic (see command tables)
• VAL/REPLY = 1-byte value

Traits

traits:
  - powerable    # inferred: POW on/off commands
  - queryable    # inferred: read-type commands return current values
  - routable     # inferred: MIN input source selection, PIP source routing
  - levelable    # inferred: VOL, BRI, CON, SHA, HUE, SAT continuous ranges

# UNRESOLVED: no additional variables beyond those enumerated in Actions

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document unsolicited notifications from the display

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document multi-step macro sequences

Notes

• Binary protocol: STX(0x07) + IDT(1 byte, don't-care) + Type(0x01 read / 0x02 write) + CMD(3 ASCII bytes) + [Value(1 byte)] + ETX(0x08).
• Read commands are 7 bytes (no value byte). Write commands are 8 bytes.
• Monitor always returns response after receiving valid command (Type=0x00).
• Default baud rate 19200; configurable via BRA command to 115200/38400/9600.
• Commands marked ▲ work in power-saving/off mode when "Power Saving Config" = "Wake on All".
• GMT (Gamut) command only valid for EP6524K & EP6524K-T models.
• MAC address queried one byte at a time via MAC command with byte index 0-5.
• Bass/Treble/Balance ranges 0-12 map to -6 to +6.
• LDS (reset) takes ~15 seconds to complete.
