Notes

Commands are case-insensitive ASCII strings terminated by carriage return.
Multiple commands can be combined on one line separated by commas (up to 255 chars).
Valid command returns acknowledgement "+ >"; invalid command returns "- >".
Image adjustment commands (BRIGHTNESS, COLOR, CONTRAST, etc.) are not available on HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 inputs.
Image preset commands (CUSTOM1, CUSTOM2, DAY, NIGHT) are not available on HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 inputs.
Input position commands (IHEIGHT, IHPOS, IVPOS, IWIDTH, OVERSCAN) are not available on HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 inputs.
Output shift commands (OHEIGHT, OHPOS, OVPOS, OWIDTH) are not available on HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 inputs.
VIRTUAL235 available only on VX-2000d/CineWide and only on analog inputs.
