Summary
Sharp/NEC NP MC372X projector control spec covering RS-232C serial and wired/wireless LAN (TCP) control per the Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1). Commands use a binary hex frame with a leading byte, command bytes, parameters, and a trailing checksum byte (low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes). Covers power, input switching, mute, lens/shutter, picture/volume/aspect adjustment, lamp/filter/info queries, lens memory, eco mode, PIP/PbP, edge blending, and audio select.
Transport
protocols:
- serial
- tcp
# Connector: PC CONTROL port D-SUB 9P (cross cable). LAN: RJ-45 (wired) / wireless LAN unit.
serial:
baud_rate: null # UNRESOLVED: source lists selectable rates 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps; default not stated
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: null # UNRESOLVED: not stated in source (RTS/CTS pins present on connector but flow_control setting unspecified)
communication_mode: full_duplex
addressing:
port: 7142 # TCP port for command send/receive over LAN
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred: POWER ON (015) / POWER OFF (016) commands present
- queryable # inferred: many status/information request commands present
- levelable # inferred: volume, brightness, contrast, color, hue, sharpness, lamp adjust present
- routable # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE (018) input terminal switching present
Actions
# Frame format: <lead> <cmd> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>
# CKS = low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes (computed).
# ID1 = projector control ID; ID2 = model code. Both vary per device.
# Response lead bytes: 2xh = success (2-digit cmd echo), Axh = error with ERR1/ERR2.
#
# Hex values shown verbatim from source; parameters in <DATA??> placeholders.

Events
# UNRESOLVED: source documents no unsolicited notifications. All responses are command-acknowledgement frames (success 2xh / error Axh).
Macros
# UNRESOLVED: source documents no multi-step command sequences.
Safety
confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# Notes from source (informational, not safety interlock procedures):
# - POWER ON (015): no other command accepted during power-on sequence.
# - POWER OFF (016): no other command accepted during power-off incl. cooling time.
# - Lens drive (053): continuous drive via 7Fh/81h must be stopped by sending 00h.
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures, or
# power-on sequencing requirements. Cover/interlock-switch status is queryable (009, 078-6)
# but no safety procedure is documented.
Notes
- Frame structure:
<lead> <cmd> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>. Lead byte encodes direction (0xh/1xh/2xh/3xh = command variants; 2xh = success response; Axh = error response). ID1 = projector control ID; ID2 = model code (device-specific). - Checksum (CKS): low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes. Source example:
20h+81h+01h+60h+01h+00h = 103h→ CKS =03h. - Responses: success returns
2xhframe (no data part if command doesn't request data, with data if it does); failure returnsAxhframe with ERR1/ERR2. - Error codes (ERR1/ERR2):
00h/00h=unrecognized command,00h/01h=not supported by model,01h/00h=invalid value,01h/01h=invalid input terminal,01h/02h=invalid language,02h/00h=memory allocation error,02h/02h=memory in use,02h/03h=value cannot be set,02h/04h=forced onscreen mute on,02h/06h=viewer error,02h/07h=no signal,02h/08h=test pattern/filter displayed,02h/09h=no PC card inserted,02h/0Ah=memory operation error,02h/0Ch=entry list displayed,02h/0Dh=command rejected (power off),02h/0Eh=execution failed,02h/0Fh=no authority,03h/00h=incorrect gain number,03h/01h=invalid gain,03h/02h=adjustment failed. - Signal list number: returned value is practical number minus 1; add 1 to get the practical number.
- Usage time granularity: lamp/filter usage time available in 1-second units but updated at 1-minute intervals.
- Lamp 2:
01h(Lamp 2) in 037-4 DATA01 effective only on two-lamp models.
