Notes
- Binary protocol: every frame =
<lead> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>. CKS = low byte of sum of all preceding bytes. ID1 = control ID (device-set), ID2 = model code (device-set). Implementer must read ID1/ID2 from device or set control ID via projector menu. - Response lead byte: 2Xh prefix on success (X mirrors command group), AXh prefix on failure with ERR1/ERR2.
- Many commands reference "Appendix — Supplementary Information by Command" for full value enumerations (input terminal codes, aspect values, eco mode values, base model types, sub-input values, selection signal types). That appendix is NOT in this source extract — those enum tables are UNRESOLVED.
- Baud rate is selectable across 5 values (115200/38400/19200/9600/4800); one must be configured on the projector. Default not stated.
- POWER ON and POWER OFF block all other commands during their execution window (incl. cooling).
- Lamp/filter usage time updates at 1-minute intervals even though stored in 1-second units.
Spec generated. 51 actions enumerated (every command row from section 3.1–3.53). Binary payloads copied verbatim, params templated where source uses `{DATA??}`. Appendix enum tables flagged UNRESOLVED — referenced but not in this extract.

- "full response payload schemas for each query not individually broken out - see source section 3 for per-command response tables."
- "no standalone variable list in source; settable state lives inside"
- "no event/notification mechanism described in source."
- "not applicable per source."
- "no safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on sequencing"
- "Appendix 'Supplementary Information by Command' not in source — input terminal / aspect / eco mode / base model / sub-input / signal-type enum tables missing."
- "ID1 (control ID) and ID2 (model code) default values not stated in source — must be discovered per-device."
- "firmware version compatibility range not stated."
- "wireless LAN unit model support not specified (refers to external operation manual)."
- "default baud rate not stated (only the selectable list)."
