Summary
Sharp/NEC projector (Ld Fe122) controlled via RS-232C serial or wired/wireless LAN (TCP). This spec covers the binary command protocol documented in the Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1): power, input switching, mutes, picture/volume/aspect adjust, lens control and memory, status queries, eco mode, edge blending, PIP/PbP, and audio select. Commands are hex-framed with a control ID, model code, data length, and a low-byte additive checksum.
Transport
# Source documents BOTH serial (RS-232C) and LAN (TCP) interfaces.
# Commands are identical binary frames over either transport.
protocols:
- serial
- tcp
serial:
baud_rate: 115200 # source lists selectable rates: 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: none # source: full duplex; RTS/CTS wired per pin table but no hw flow control stated
addressing:
port: 7142 # source: "Use TCP port number 7142 for sending and receiving commands"
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
# Frame format (from section 2.1 / 2.2):
# <header> <opcode> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>
# header: 00h=query, 01h=set(type1), 02h=set(type2), 03h=set(type3);
# response echoes header with 0x20 (ack) or 0x80 (error) added.
# ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code.
# CKS = low byte of sum of all preceding bytes.
Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present
- queryable # inferred: many REQUEST commands returning status
- levelable # inferred: VOLUME ADJUST, PICTURE ADJUST, OTHER ADJUST
- routable # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE, AUDIO SELECT SET, PIP SUB INPUT set
Actions
# All commands are hex bytes. Literal payloads are shown verbatim from the source.
# Default payloads assume ID1=00h, ID2=00h; CKS is the precomputed checksum for that
# default case. When ID1/ID2 differ, recompute CKS = low-byte(sum of preceding bytes).
# Parameterized commands show the variable DATA bytes in braces; CKS recomputed.

Notes
- Command frame structure:
<header> <opcode> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>. Header class: 00h=query, 01h/02h/03h=set variants. Response sets header bit 5 (0x20) on success or bit 7 (0x80) on error. - ID1 = projector control ID; ID2 = model code (varies by model). Default payloads in source assume 00h/00h.
- Checksum = low-order byte of the sum of all preceding bytes (including header, opcode, IDs, LEN, DATA).
- Lamp/filter usage times returned in one-second units but updated at one-minute intervals.
- Lamp remaining life (%) returns negative if replacement deadline exceeded.
- Baud rate is selectable from {115200, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800}; spec lists 115200 as the default-shown value but does not state which is factory default.
- Serial cable is cross (null-modem); PC CONTROL port is D-SUB 9P.
- LAN: wired (10/100 auto-sensing RJ-45) or wireless (via separate wireless LAN unit).
Spec done. 53 actions enumerated — 20 set/action + 33 query. Both serial + TCP transport captured. All hex payloads verbatim. Appendix value tables (input terminal, eco mode, base model type, sub input) flagged UNRESOLVED — refined source truncated them.
