Summary
Sharp/NEC P555 projector control spec. Binary command protocol over RS-232C serial and TCP/IP (wired/wireless LAN). Hex byte commands with checksum (low byte of sum of preceding bytes). Source: BDT140013 Revision 7.1 command reference manual.

Notes
Binary protocol. Frame format: 20h 88h <ID1> <ID2> 0Ch <DATA01>-<DATA12> <CKS>. Checksum = low-order byte of sum of all preceding bytes.
Error response format (failed execution): A{x}h {cmd} <ID1> <ID2> 02h <ERR1> <ERR2> <CKS>. ERR1/ERR2 combinations defined in source error code list (00h-03h range).
Common parameters:
- ID1: control ID set on projector
- ID2: model code (varies by model)
- CKS: checksum
- LEN: data length following LEN
ID1/ID2/CKS placeholders <ID1> <ID2> <CKS> filled at runtime; not literal payload bytes. Response codes: 2{x}h prefix = success response, A{x}h prefix = error response.
Lamp usage/filter info updated at 1-minute intervals despite second-precision. Lamp remaining life negative if deadline exceeded. Filter returns -1 if no time defined.
Wireless LAN connection requires separate wireless LAN unit (model-dependent).
Spec done. 50+ actions enumerated — all source command rows covered. External Appendix values marked UNRESOLVED (not in refined source).
