Sharp/NEC Me431 Mpi4E Control Spec

Summary

Sharp/NEC projector control spec covering the Me431 Mpi4E model. Supports RS-232C serial and TCP/IP (wired/wireless LAN) control using a binary hex command protocol with checksums. Covers power, input switching, picture/volume adjustment, lens control, lens memory, mute, freeze, shutter, eco mode, edge blending, PiP/PbP, and numerous status/information query commands.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp

Traits

traits:
  - powerable    # inferred from POWER ON/OFF commands (015/016)
  - queryable    # inferred from numerous REQUEST commands
  - routable     # inferred from INPUT SW CHANGE command (018)
  - levelable    # inferred from VOLUME ADJUST / PICTURE ADJUST commands (030-1/030-2)

Events

# No unsolicited notifications documented in source. All responses are command-driven.
# UNRESOLVED: no event/notification mechanism described in source.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step command sequences described in source.

interlocks:
  - command: power_on
    note: "While power-on is in progress, no other command can be accepted."

# UNRESOLVED: no additional safety warnings or interlock procedures stated beyond power-on/off command lockout.

Notes

• Manual reference: BDT140013 Revision 7.1.
• Binary protocol: all commands are hex byte sequences. Checksum (CKS) = low-order 8 bits of sum of all preceding bytes. Commands do not include ID1/ID2 (control ID / model code); responses include them.
• Response format: success responses use headers 20h/21h/22h/23h; error responses use A0h/A1h/A2h/A3h with ERR1/ERR2 fields.
• Serial connection uses a cross cable to the PC CONTROL port (D-SUB 9P). Pin assignment: 2=RxD, 3=TxD, 5=GND, 7=RTS, 8=CTS.
• LAN connection supports wired (10/100 Mbps, RJ-45) and wireless (via optional wireless LAN unit). TCP port 7142 for command send/receive over both.
• Usage time information (lamp, filter) is obtainable in one-second units but updated at one-minute intervals.
• LENS CONTROL: after sending 7Fh (plus continuous) or 81h (minus continuous), send 00h to stop. While lens is being driven, the same command can re-issue without a stop.
• Several value tables (input terminal, aspect, eco mode, base model type, sub input) are referenced as appendix "Supplementary Information by Command" which is not included in this source document.
