Summary
Sharp/NEC NC2402ML projector control spec covering the binary protocol documented in the Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1). The device is controllable via an RS-232C serial port (PC CONTROL, D-SUB 9P) and over a wired/wireless LAN using TCP port 7142. Commands are framed hex bytes with a trailing additive checksum (low-order byte).
Transport
protocols:
- serial
- tcp
serial:
baud_rate: [115200, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800] # source lists all as supported
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: none # source states Full duplex; RTS/CTS pins present on D-SUB 9P but no flow-control setting stated
addressing:
port: 7142
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred: POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present
- queryable # inferred: many *REQUEST commands return state
- levelable # inferred: PICTURE/VOLUME/LAMP adjust + gain parameter requests
Actions
# Frame legend (from source §2.1): each command is a hex byte stream with
# <ID1>=control ID, <ID2>=model code, <CKS>=additive checksum (low-order byte
# of the sum of all preceding bytes). Fixed command payloads reproduced verbatim.
# Parameterized commands show the variable DATA bytes as placeholders.

Events
# Source documents no unsolicited notifications - device only replies to commands.
# UNRESOLVED: no event/notification mechanism documented.
Macros
# Source documents no multi-step command sequences.
# UNRESOLVED: no macros documented in source.
Safety
confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures,
# or power-on sequencing requirements beyond the note that POWER ON / POWER OFF
# block other commands during execution. Error-status bit 03 (interlock switch
# open) and cover-status (078-6) are reported but no interlock sequence is
# prescribed in the source excerpt.
Notes
- Checksum (CKS): additive — sum all preceding bytes, take low-order 8 bits. Example from source:
20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h → CKS=03h. - Power-on/off blocking: while POWER ON is executing, or POWER OFF is executing (incl. cooling), no other command is accepted.
- Picture/Sound/Onscreen mute auto-reset: input-terminal switch, video-signal switch (and volume adjust for sound mute) cancel the respective mute.
- Lens drive: after sending continuous-drive bytes (7Fh plus / 81h minus), a
00h(Stop) must be sent to halt. While the lens is driven, re-issuing the same command continues motion without stopping. - Lamp/usage-time granularity: usage seconds are stored in 1-second units but refreshed at 1-minute intervals.
- Two-lamp models: DATA01=01h (Lamp 2) is only valid on two-lamp projectors.
- Key code list (050 REMOTE KEY CODE):
Key DATA01 DATA02 Name 2 02h 00h POWER ON 3 03h 00h POWER OFF 5 05h 00h AUTO 6 06h 00h MENU 7 07h 00h UP 8 08h 00h DOWN 9 09h 00h RIGHT 10 0Ah 00h LEFT 11 0Bh 00h ENTER 12 0Ch 00h EXIT 13 0Dh 00h HELP 15 0Fh 00h MAGNIFY UP 16 10h 00h MAGNIFY DOWN 19 13h 00h MUTE 41 29h 00h PICTURE 75 4Bh 00h COMPUTER1 76 4Ch 00h COMPUTER2 79 4Fh 00h VIDEO1 81 51h 00h S-VIDEO1 132 84h 00h VOLUME UP 133 85h 00h VOLUME DOWN 138 8Ah 00h FREEZE 163 A3h 00h ASPECT 215 D7h 00h SOURCE 238 EEh 00h LAMP MODE/ECO - Error code list (ERR1/ERR2): see source §2.4; combinations span unrecognized command (00h/00h), unsupported (00h/01h), invalid value (01h/00h), invalid input terminal (01h/01h), power-off rejection (02h/0Dh), no authority (02h/0Fh), etc.
