Sony KDS8005 Series Control Spec

Summary

Sony professional display controlled over TCP/IP via Simple IP Control protocol on port 20060. Fixed 24-byte ASCII command format with four-character command codes (FourCC). Supports power, volume, mute, input, picture mute, IR remote passthrough, scene settings, and network interface queries. EU models have RED-DA compliant variants with different command availability.

Notes

Command format: 24-byte fixed-size ASCII. Header: *S (0x2A 0x53). Footer: 0x0A (LF). Message types: C=Control, E=Enquiry, A=Answer, N=Notify. Commands use FourCC ASCII identifiers (bytes 3-6). Parameters in bytes 7-22. Success response: all zeros. Error response: all F. NotFound response: all N (for setInput/getInput only). Network connect via netcat [IP] 20060. Monitor requires: Enable Remote Device Control + Enable Simple IP Control in settings.

Command timing: not specified in source. IR codes cover full remote control including number pad, color buttons, media controls, HDMI source selection.

EU RED-DA compliance: getBroadcastAddress (BADR) and getMacAddress (MADR) marked with * in source — available commands vary by specification. Reference: https://pro-bravia.sony.net/setup/device-settings/red-da/
