Sunbritetv SB-V Series Control Spec

Summary

Control spec for SunBriteTV SB-V (Veranda 2) outdoor TVs covering the manufacturer-published RS-232 command set. The product page mentions IP control over Ethernet, but the only first-party protocol document available is the RS-232 control codes table (no separate IP command list published for this generation).

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: source describes only discrete action opcodes, no continuous settable parameters

interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on sequencing requirements

Notes

• All commands prefixed with ESC (0x1B). Per source, commands do NOT require Carriage Return or Line Feed.
• Com spec: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
• Source document title is "RS 232 Control codes SunbriteTV" (Rev. 10/07/2016). Origin: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/734396/Sunbritetv-3220hd.html (Appendix B style table, applied across SB-V series chassis).
• Operator's manual for SB-V-43/55/65/75-4KHDR exists at Google Drive ID 1kXj3SCfQNm5uZ4312XGMpXyZve7kczNT (54 pages) but does not enumerate the IP control command set.
• Veranda 3 (SB-V3) IP control exists on TCP port 60028 with CR-terminated ASCII commands, but SunBriteTV explicitly states those commands are NOT compatible with SB-V — do not apply here.
• Source product page lists "ETHERNET (RJ 45 for IP Control)" as a control input, but the command set for IP control of SB-V is not published in the first-party manual reviewed.

Known Gaps

- "dedicated IP/TCP command list for SB-V series not published. Veranda 3 (SB-V3) sibling has port 60028 CR-terminated ASCII commands but is explicitly NOT compatible with SB-V."
- "source describes only discrete action opcodes, no continuous settable parameters"
- "source does not document unsolicited notifications"
- "source does not document multi-step sequences"
- "source contains no safety warnings, interlock procedures, or power-on sequencing requirements"
- "dedicated IP/TCP command catalogue for SB-V series not found in source."
