Summary
The Sharp/NEC NP-PX1004UL-BK is a professional projector controllable via RS-232C serial (PC CONTROL D-SUB 9P) or wired/wireless LAN. This spec covers the binary command protocol documented in the Projector Control Command Reference Manual (BDT140013 Rev 7.1), enumerating all 53 documented commands spanning power, input switching, mute, picture/volume/aspect adjustment, lens control and memory, status queries, and system settings. Commands use a fixed-frame hex format with a trailing additive checksum byte.
Transport
protocols:
- tcp
- serial
addressing:
port: 7142 # TCP port for sending/receiving commands over LAN (stated in source)
serial:
baud_rate: null # multiple supported: 115200 / 38400 / 19200 / 9600 / 4800 bps; default not stated in source
data_bits: 8
parity: none

Traits
traits:
- powerable # inferred from POWER ON / POWER OFF commands
- queryable # inferred from numerous status request commands
- routable # inferred from INPUT SW CHANGE command
- levelable # inferred from PICTURE ADJUST / VOLUME ADJUST commands

# Command frame format (hex): <class> <code> 00h 00h <LEN> <DATA...> <CKS>
# Checksum (CKS): sum of all preceding bytes, low-order one byte.
# ID1 = control ID, ID2 = model code appear in responses only (not in commands sent to projector).

Notes
- Protocol is binary hex frames. Command classes: 00h (info queries), 01h (freeze), 02h (basic actions), 03h (adjust/settings). Success response class = command class + 20h; error response class = command class + A0h.
- Checksum (CKS): add all preceding bytes, take low-order one byte. Example:
20h 81h 01h 60h 01h 00hsums to 103h → CKS = 03h. - Commands sent to projector do NOT include ID1 (control ID) / ID2 (model code); these appear only in responses.
- Serial cable is cross cable to PC CONTROL port (D-SUB 9P). Pin assignment documented: pins 2/3 = RxD/TxD crossed, pin 5 = GND, pins 7/8 = RTS/CTS crossed.
- LAN: wired (10/100 Mbps auto-switchable, IEEE 802.3/802.3u) or wireless via wireless LAN unit. TCP port 7142 for command send/receive.
- Lamp remaining life returns negative value if replacement deadline exceeded.
- Lamp/filter usage times updated at 1-minute intervals though obtainable in 1-second units.
- ERR1/ERR2 error code list: 00h/00h=command unrecognized; 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 not accepted (power off); 02h/0Eh=execution failed; 02h/0Fh=no authority; 03h/00h=incorrect gain number; 03h/01h=invalid gain; 03h/02h=adjustment failed.
- Default baud rate not stated; device supports 4800/9600/19200/38400/115200. Configure software to match.
Spec done. 53 commands, all verbatim payloads. Serial + TCP port 7142. Appendix value tables missing from refined source → marked UNRESOLVED. No fabricated values.
