Summary
Sharp/NEC display controllable via RS-232C serial (D-SUB 9P PC CONTROL port) and wired/wireless LAN. This spec is derived from the vendor "Projector Control Command Reference Manual" (BDT140013 Rev 7.1), which documents a binary hex-framed command set covering power, input switching, mute, lens control, picture/volume adjust, and a broad set of status/information queries. Commands use a fixed frame: header byte, command bytes, optional data, and a checksum byte (low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes).
Transport
protocols:
- serial
- tcp
serial:
baud_rate: 9600 # source lists 115200/38400/19200/9600/4800 bps as selectable; 9600 shown as common default but not mandated
data_bits: 8
parity: none
stop_bits: 1
flow_control: none # source states full duplex; RTS/CTS pins wired per pin table but no hardware flow-control mode documented
addressing:
port: 7142
auth:
type: none # inferred: no auth procedure in source
Traits
# - powerable (POWER ON / POWER OFF commands present)
# - queryable (many status/information request commands present)
# - levelable (PICTURE ADJUST, VOLUME ADJUST, LAMP/LIGHT ADJUST present)
# - routable (INPUT SW CHANGE present)
traits:
- powerable
- queryable
- levelable
- routable
Actions
# All hex payloads copied verbatim from source. Framing: optional header/ID/LEN
# bytes per command; <ID1> <ID2> are runtime parameters (control ID + model code);
# <CKS> is a checksum computed as the low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding
# bytes. Parameterized commands show the variable DATA byte(s).

Notes
- Command framing: requests/commands begin with a header byte (00h–03h for requests, mirrored with high bit set e.g. 20h–23h for successful replies, A0h–A3h for error replies), followed by command bytes, optional
<ID1> <ID2>(control ID + model code), a LEN byte, data bytes, and a<CKS>checksum. Checksum = low-order 8 bits of the sum of all preceding bytes. - ID1 is the projector's configured "control ID"; ID2 is model-specific.
- Serial cable must be a cross cable wired to the PC CONTROL D-SUB 9P port per the source pin table (pins 2/3 RxD/TxD crossed, 5 GND, 7/8 RTS/CTS crossed).
- LAN: wired RJ-45 (10/100 auto) or supported wireless LAN unit; commands sent over TCP port 7142.
- Lamp usage / filter usage times update at one-minute intervals though reported in one-second units.
- 078-3 returns signal list number as (practical value − 1); add 1 to recover the practical number.
Spec done. 55 commands, all hex verbatim. Serial 8N1 + TCP 7142 both documented in source → both emitted. Appendix enum tables referenced but absent from refined source → marked UNRESOLVED.

## Known Gaps
```yaml
- "source document is a generic projector command reference (BDT140013 Rev 7.1) and does not state model-specific command support for P243W Bk Sv; per-command applicability must be verified against the device. The \"Supplementary Information by Command\" appendix referenced throughout is not present in the refined source."
- "source documents no unsolicited notifications; all responses are"
- "source documents no multi-step macro sequences."
- "source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures,"
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "\"Supplementary Information by Command\" appendix (input terminal values, aspect values, eco-mode values, base model types, sub-input values) is referenced throughout but not present in the refined source — those enum tables could not be populated."
- "model-specific command support for P243W Bk Sv not stated; source is a generic projector command reference (BDT140013 Rev 7.1)."
- "ID2 model code value for P243W Bk Sv not stated in source."
- "default/selected baud rate for this model not stated; only the selectable set is listed."
