Summary

Control protocol spec derived from "Projector Control Command Reference Manual" (BDT140013 Rev 7.1). Binary frame protocol over RS-232C and TCP/IP (port 7142). Covers power, input switch, mute, lens, lamp/filter info, eco mode, edge blending, PIP/PBP, and status queries.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no unsolicited notification events. All responses are command-reply only.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no multi-step command sequences.

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - power_off  # 016 POWER OFF: cooling time locks out other commands
  - shutter_close  # 051 SHUTTER CLOSE: blocks projection
  - lens_memory_reset  # 053-3/053-4 RESET operation
interlocks:
  - power_on_lockout: "015 POWER ON: no other command accepted during power-on sequence."
  - power_off_lockout: "016 POWER OFF: no other command accepted during power-off incl. cooling time."
  - cover_status: "078-6 cover closed status may block optical output."
# UNRESOLVED: source mentions safety-relevant bits (interlock switch open in 009 DATA09 Bit1, foreign matter sensor, fan/temperature errors) but no explicit power-on sequencing procedure or voltage/current specs.

Notes

  • Frame format: 20h/21h/22h/23h/02h/03h/01h/00h/A0h..A3h <HEADER> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>. First byte distinguishes direction (02h/03h = command from PC; 22h/23h = success response; A2h/A3h = error response).
  • Checksum (CKS): sum of all preceding bytes, take low-order 8 bits. Example from source: 20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h → 03h.
  • ID1 = control ID set on projector. ID2 = model code (model-specific value not in source).
  • ERR1/ERR2 error code combinations documented in section 2.4 (e.g. 00h/00h = unrecognized command, 02h/0Dh = power off, 02h/0Fh = no authority).
  • Lamp usage time returned in seconds, updated at 1-minute intervals.
  • Recommended TCP port: 7142 (source explicitly states for both send/receive).
  • Serial baud is selectable from {4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200}; default rate not stated in source.
  • Wired/wireless LAN support referenced; wireless LAN unit manual out of scope.

matched_actions: 53
action_count: 53
confidence: medium
summary: "All 53 spec actions matched verbatim in source; transport parameters (port 7142, baud rates, data/parity/stop bits) all verified. (16 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "Device name in input header (\"EA271F BK SV\" — a monitor) does not match source document (\"Projector Control Command Reference Manual\", a projector). Confirm whether source artifact applies to this entity. Model-specific opcodes (ID2/model code) not stated in source. Appendix referenced for several enum values (input terminal, base model type, eco mode, sub input) not present in refined source."
- "flow control not stated; pinout exposes RTS/CTS"
- "default baud rate not stated; source only enumerates valid rates. Model code (ID2) value required to address this projector not specified in source."
- "full input terminal value list not in refined source (Appendix referenced)"
- "aspect value list in Appendix (not in refined source)"
- "eco mode value list in Appendix (not in refined source)"
- "sub input setting value list in Appendix (not in refined source)"
- "input terminal value list in Appendix (not in refined source)"
- "source documents no unsolicited notification events. All responses are command-reply only."
- "source documents no multi-step command sequences."
- "source mentions safety-relevant bits (interlock switch open in 009 DATA09 Bit1, foreign matter sensor, fan/temperature errors) but no explicit power-on sequencing procedure or voltage/current specs."
- "Device name mismatch — input header identifies a monitor (EA271F BK SV) while source artifact is a Projector Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1). Confirm artifact-to-entity mapping before ingest."
- "model code (ID2) value not specified in source."
- "input terminal value list (018, 319-10), eco mode value list (097-8/098-8), base model type list (305-1, 078-1), and sub input value list (097-198/098-198) all reference an Appendix not present in refined source."
- "default baud rate not stated; flow_control not stated."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
