Sunbritetv SB Series Control Spec

Summary

This draft transcribes the manufacturer’s one-page RS-232 control table, revision 10/07/2016. It documents 50 request rows at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. Each listed request consists of ESC (0x1B) followed by the table’s command byte. The firmware query contains conflicting ASCII and HEX entries.

The catalog family targets SB-3220HD and SB-4610 HD. The source gives model-class response templates B3220AHD-X.XX and B4610AHD-X.XX, but no explicit applicability or firmware-version list. Applicability to the catalog family is inferred from this same-class legacy SunBrite source and must be confirmed for the actual display; this is not a manufacturer-wide compatibility claim. The family identifier is retained; its IR suffix does not establish an IR protocol. No IP control is documented by this source.

command_encoding: Two byte values per HEX row; see firmware_version_query ambiguity.

notes: The table gives command bytes but does not state whether any extra framing/terminator is required. Do not infer no authentication, no flow control, response timing, pacing, retries or error behavior from silence.

  execution_response_note: The executed-response column says main board followed by version; this is explanatory wording, not an additional literal reply.
  command_status: UNRESOLVED
  notes: "Source contradiction: ASCII column says [ESC]? (bytes 1B 3F), while HEX column says 1B 2E (ESC followed by dot). command reproduces the HEX column only, without claiming it resolves the contradiction. Confirm the correct firmware-query byte before use; 1B 3F is also the Model Class ID query."

Notes

Source: https://www.sunbritetv.com/content/RS232-control-codes.pdf (manufacturer download, 1 page, Rev. 10/07/2016). The command_hex and source_ascii fields reproduce the two source columns. Numeric command arrays are raw byte values, not printable decimal text.

received_responses reproduces the Command Received Response column; executed_response reproduces a distinct Command Executed Response when documented. The compatibility response field repeats that execution reply. The literal na in the execution column does not mean that the separate receipt acknowledgement is absent. No acknowledgement ordering, timing, unsolicited notification or error frame is specified. Numeric/menu commands do have their bracketed receipt acknowledgements.

Firmware query: ASCII [ESC]? conflicts with HEX 1B 2E; the draft exposes both without fixing the manufacturer table. Left Arrow transmits 1B 3E ([ESC]>) and acknowledges [<]; Right Arrow transmits 1B 3C ([ESC]<) and acknowledges [>]. Those unusual source values are not exchanged. Input 7/VGA uses K and Input 8/HDMI1 uses J; the source explicitly attributes that ordering to legacy compatibility. Mute is labelled Mute in the source; toggle semantics are not assumed.

The response template XXXXX-X.XX describes main-board/firmware information. It is not a fixed returned string or a supported firmware range. Connector pinout and a model-specific compatibility list are absent. No hardware test was performed. Solis and Veranda 4 are not covered by this legacy protocol draft.

summary: "Independent full one-page primary review:50 request rows, every HEX/ASCII and receipt/execution column match;49 prior IDs retained. Generic legacy same-class model applicability is explicitly caveated; firmware-query contradiction, arrow acknowledgements,NA input and unspecified framing remain unresolved rather than invented."
