Sharp LCC7500 Series Control Spec

Summary

External-control specification for the Sharp LCC7500 Series LCD monitor. Covers two transports: RS-232C (9-pin D-Sub, 9600 baud, 8N1) and LAN (TCP port 7142). The protocol is a framed ASCII packet (Header | Message | Check Code | Delimiter) with two command families — VCP (get/set parameter, OP-code-page + OP-code) and CTL (system/utilities like power, save, MAC, model, serial, IR-passthrough).

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp
addressing:
  port: 7142
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none

  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

- powerable       # inferred: CTL-C203-D6 power on/off commands documented
- queryable       # inferred: get-parameter (VCP-*-??) commands documented across OSD table
- routable        # inferred: VCP-00-60 input select covers VGA/HDMI/AV/Tuner/MP
- levelable       # inferred: VCP-00-10 backlight, VCP-00-12 contrast, VCP-00-93 balance range controls documented

Actions

# Frame structure assumed in every command below:
#   01h 30h ID  TYPE LEN[2] 02h DATA 03h BCC 0Dh
#   TYPE = 'A'(41h) command | 'C'(43h) get-parameter | 'E'(45h) set-parameter
#   BCC = XOR of bytes D1..D16 (Header+Message inclusive of STX and ETX)
#   ID = 1..100 -> 'A'..(see §4.1.1 Monitor/Group ID table), or '*'(2Ah) for all
#
# The following actions enumerate each command/opcode pair found in the source,
# per §6 example, §7 CTL commands, and §8 VCP table.

Variables

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source describes NULL message semantics (timeout, busy, BCC error) but
# does not define a separate unsolicited-event channel. NULL is a reply, not a push.

Macros

Notes

• Frame anatomy (each request/reply): 01h 30h DestId Src 30h 30h MsgLen [STX Msg ETX] BCC 0Dh. Source-of-controller side sets Src=0 (30h). Replies swap the two IDs.
• ID encoding: Monitor IDs 1..100 map to ASCII chars per §4.1.1 table (e.g. ID 1 -> 'A'=41h). Group IDs A..J map to '1'..':'. Use * (2Ah) as broadcast.
• BCC = XOR of bytes from D1 through the last byte before BCC (the inclusive range that spans Reserved, Dest, Src, Type, Len, STX, payload, ETX). See §4.3.1 worked example resulting in 77h for the Set Backlight=80 packet.
• Inter-command spacing: ≥ 600 ms on both RS-232C and LAN.
• LAN idle disconnect: monitor drops the TCP socket after 15 minutes of no traffic; controller must reconnect.
• Default LAN addressing: DHCP-on; static requires the monitor's Network Settings menu. Port 7142 is fixed.
• IR-passthrough codes for CTL-C210 (D05~06=D07~08, low byte): 1D=PICTURE, 29=ASPECT, 43=SOUND, 08..12,0C..10,44=0..9/DASH, 19=INFO, 20=MENU, 1F=EXIT, 15/14/21/22/23=UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/OK, 17/16=VOL+/-, 33/32=CH+/-, 1B=MUTE, 27=FREEZE, 2C=CC, 1A=MTS. High byte D05~06=00.
• VCP/CTL coverage rule: the §8 OSD↔command map lists several commands marked N/A for this model (Schedule, Sleep Timer, Network settings, USB media, Signal Info, 120Hz/500Hz/1.5kHz/5kHz/10kHz EQ, Visually Impaired, TTS, Parental Controls, RRT5, Digital CC style options, HPD Delay). Those are intentionally not enumerated above.
• Power-mode reply notes: code 0002h is "Stand-by (power save)" — distinct from IR power off (0004h). Sending 0002h or 0003h via C203-D6 is documented as "Do not set".

Verification Summary

verdict: verified
checked_at: 2026-09-19T22:17:50.511Z
matched_actions: 88
action_count: 88
confidence: medium
summary: "All 88 spec actions trace to VCP/CTL commands documented in source §5.5, §7, and §8 OSD table; transport values match §3 verbatim. (5 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "chapter 8 OSD↔command map references features (e.g. schedules, network settings, signal info) marked N/A — those commands are not documented in this source and are intentionally omitted."
- "source documents settable VCP parameters as Actions above; no separate"
- "source describes NULL message semantics (timeout, busy, BCC error) but"
- "source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlocks, or hazardous-"
- "VCP set-parameter frames use ASCII-hex encoding throughout (4 hex chars per 16-bit value, 2 hex chars per byte). Commands that source-spec markers leave as straight numeric ranges (e.g. VCP-02-50 H.Resolution 0000h..FFFFh) were emitted as hex-string params; downstream code must split into 4 ASCII bytes."
