Summary
Sharp/NEC P721Q W is a projector controllable over RS-232C serial (PC CONTROL port, D-SUB 9P) and wired/wireless LAN. The protocol is binary, framed with 20h/02h/01h/03h-prefixed messages carrying a model code (ID2), variable-length data, and a trailing low-byte checksum. This spec covers 53 distinct commands: power, input switching, mutes, picture/volume/aspect/lamp adjust, lens shift/zoom/focus/memory, shutter, freeze, eco mode, edge blending, PiP/PbP, and a broad set of status/information queries. TCP port 7142 is used for LAN control.

- routable # inferred: INPUT SW CHANGE command
Actions
# Frame convention (per source §2.1):
# Command: <MsgType> <CMD> <00h> <00h> <LEN> [data...] <CKS>
# Ack (success): <MsgType+20h> <CMD> <ID1> <ID2> <LEN> [data...] <CKS>
# Ack (error): <MsgType+0A0h?> <CMD> <ID1> <ID2> 02h <ERR1> <ERR2> <CKS>
# Checksum: low byte of the sum of all preceding bytes (including the leading type byte).
# ID1 = control ID set on projector; ID2 = model code (varies by model).

Safety
confirmation_required_for:
- power_off # source: "While this command is turning off the power (including the cooling time), no other command can be accepted." Cooling lockout is safety-relevant.
- power_on # source: "While this command is turning on the power, no other command can be accepted."
interlocks:
- "Power on/off commands block all other commands for the duration of the transition (incl. cooling time)."
- "Error bitfield (009) reports interlock switch open (DATA09 Bit1) and cover errors (DATA01 Bit0, DATA03 Bit5) that may block operation."
- "02h 0Fh 'There is no authority necessary for the operation' error code implies an authority model whose procedure is not documented in source."
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit power-on sequencing procedure, voltage/current specs, or formal interlock procedure text beyond the command-blocking notes above.
Notes
- Frame layout (§2.1): all commands/responses are hexadecimal byte sequences. A typical command is
<MsgType> <CMD> 00h 00h <LEN> [data...] <CKS>. A typical success acknowledgement reuses the command byte with<MsgType+20h>and includes<ID1> <ID2>(control ID + model code) after the command byte. Error responses use aAxhprefix and a 2-byte body<ERR1> <ERR2>. - Checksum (§2.2): sum of all preceding bytes, take low-order 8 bits. Worked example:
20h 81h 01h 60h 01h 00h <CKS>→ sum = 103h → CKS = 03h. - ID1 (Control ID) is whatever the projector's "control ID" is set to. ID2 (Model code) is model-specific and not stated in this source for the P721Q W — UNRESOLVED.
- Baud rate has five supported values (115200/38400/19200/9600/4800); the source does not state which is the factory default. 9600 is used as a placeholder above; verify against the device.
- Wireless LAN control is mentioned but specifics are deferred to the wireless LAN unit's own manual — UNRESOLVED.
- External Appendix referenced repeatedly ("Supplementary Information by Command") is not present in this refined source. It contains the canonical byte values for: input terminals, aspect, eco mode, base model types, and PiP/PbP sub-inputs. Treat all such enum lists above as UNRESOLVED until the Appendix is sourced.
- Two-lamp models only: 037-4 LAMP INFORMATION REQUEST 3 with DATA01=01h (Lamp 2) is effective only on two-lamp projector models.

Input terminal byte values, aspect values, eco mode values, base model type values, and sub-input values are referenced to an external \"Appendix / Supplementary Information by Command\" not present in this source."
- "full value set referenced to external Appendix, not in source"

- "value list in external Appendix 'Supplementary Information by Command'"
- "sub-input values in external Appendix"

- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "ID2 model code for the P721Q W not stated; must be read from device."
- "external \"Supplementary Information by Command\" Appendix not in source — input terminal / aspect / eco mode / base model / sub-input enum values missing."
- "053 LENS CONTROL target codes other than 06h (Periphery Focus) not enumerated in this source."
- "factory-default baud rate not stated; five values are supported."
