Sharp/NEC NP ME361W RS-232 / IP control commands

Summary

Sharp/NEC NP ME361W projector control spec. Supports RS-232C serial and TCP/IP LAN control. Binary command protocol with hex-byte frames, checksum (low-order byte of sum of preceding bytes). 53 distinct commands covering power, input switching, mutes, picture/volume/aspect/lamp adjust, lens control and memory, status queries, eco mode, edge blending, PIP/PbP, audio select.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: source documents parameter-setting sub-commands (picture adjust,
# volume adjust, aspect, eco mode, lens position) but exposes them as discrete
# actions rather than named settable variables. No separate variable namespace
# is described. Populate as actions instead.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source describes only request/response model. No unsolicited
# notification / push event documented.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no multi-step command sequences.

interlocks:
  - "POWER ON (015): no other command accepted while power is turning on."
  - "POWER OFF (016): no other command accepted during power-off including cooling time."

Notes

Checksum (CKS): low-order one byte of sum of all preceding bytes. Worked example in source §2.2.
Command/response frame format (hex): 20h 88h <ID1> <ID2> 0Ch <DATA01> - <DATA12> <CKS>. ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code (varies by model).
Error responses use prefix A0h/A1h/A2h/A3h carrying <ERR1> <ERR2> <CKS>. ERR1/ERR2 code table in source §2.4 (00h/00h=unrecognized, 02h/0Dh=power off reject, 02h/0Fh=no authority, etc.).
Usage-time queries (lamp, filter) update at one-minute intervals despite one-second resolution.
Source refers to an Appendix "Supplementary Information by Command" for several value maps (input terminal, aspect, eco mode, sub input, base model type). Appendix not present in refined source → those params marked UNRESOLVED.


Spec done. 53 actions, all hex payloads verbatim. Multiple appendix-deferred value maps marked UNRESOLVED.

Notes

Checksum (CKS): low-order one byte of sum of all preceding bytes. Worked example in source §2.2.

Command/response frame format (hex): 20h 88h <ID1> <ID2> 0Ch <DATA01> - <DATA12> <CKS>. ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code (varies by model).

Error responses use prefix A0h/A1h/A2h/A3h carrying <ERR1> <ERR2> <CKS>. ERR1/ERR2 code table in source §2.4 (00h/00h=unrecognized, 02h/0Dh=power off reject, 02h/0Fh=no authority, etc.).

Usage-time queries (lamp, filter) update at one-minute intervals despite one-second resolution.

Source refers to an Appendix "Supplementary Information by Command" for several value maps (input terminal, aspect, eco mode, sub input, base model type). Appendix not present in refined source → those params marked UNRESOLVED.

Spec done. 53 actions, all hex payloads verbatim. Multiple appendix-deferred value maps marked UNRESOLVED. ## Provenance ```yaml source_domains: - sharpdisplays.eu source_urls: - https://www.sharpdisplays.eu/p/download/cp/Products/Projectors/Shared/CommandLists/NEC-ExternalControlManual-english.pdf retrieved_at: 2026-06-16T14:57:41.603Z last_checked_at: 2026-06-18T08:38:32.837Z ``` ## Verification Summary ```yaml verdict: verified checked_at: 2026-06-18T08:38:32.837Z matched_actions: 53 action_count: 53 confidence: medium summary: "All 53 spec actions matched verbatim against source command reference; transport parameters verified; complete bidirectional coverage.
