ViewSonic CDE5010 Series Control Spec

Summary

ViewSonic CDE5010 Series commercial display / digital signage panel controllable over RS-232C using an 8-byte ASCII command packet plus CR. The protocol defines a Set-Function block, a Get-Function block, and a Remote Control Pass-through mode that surfaces front-panel/RCU key presses to the host. Multiple displays can be daisy-chained via RS-232 OUT / IN; each display is addressed by a monitor ID (01-98, 99 = broadcast).

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none  # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated in source (parity/data/stop fixed; flow not mentioned)
  connector: DSUB-9 Male  # Pin 2 RXD (in), Pin 3 TXD (out), Pin 5 GND; crossover (null-modem) cable required for PC use
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source
addressing:
  device_id_range: "01-98"   # monitor ID; default 01; 99 = broadcast (no reply)

Traits

- powerable     # inferred from Set Power on/off (cmd "!") and Get-Power status (cmd "l")
- routable      # inferred from Set Input Select (cmd '"') and PIP-Input (cmd "7")
- queryable     # inferred from 20+ Get-Function commands
- levelable     # inferred from Brightness / Contrast / Volume / Bass / Treble / Sharpness / Color / Tint set commands

Actions

# Frame format (all set/get actions, derived from source 11.3 protocol description):
#   Length(1='8') + ID(2 ASCII digits) + Type(1: 's' set, 'g' get) + Command(1 ASCII) + Value1(1) + Value2(1) + Value3(1) + CR(0x0D)
# Total 9 bytes; Length byte counts 8 bytes excluding CR.
# Templates below use {id} = 2-digit ASCII monitor ID (e.g. "01"); broadcast = "99".
# {value} = exactly 3 ASCII bytes per source value-range column.

  notes: |
    - IR pass-through codes are not identical to internal RCU key codes (source 11.3.3 note 1).
    - POWER key special handling (note 2):
      - When display is OFF and receives IR POWER: display turns on then forwards POWER code to host.
      - When display is ON and receives IR POWER: display forwards POWER code to host then turns off.
      - When SET-Power Lock is enabled, display does not respond to POWER key.
    - VOLUME UP / VOLUME DOWN repeat while the key is held.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step macros documented in source.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no safety warnings, voltage interlocks, or power-sequencing requirements
# for the RS-232 control surface; only the IR-pass-through POWER key sequence (documented as an event
# note) and the SET-Power Lock behavior are described.

Notes

• Monitor ID address space: 01-98 (default 01); 99 is broadcast and produces no reply on Set-Function commands except #1 unit which replies as ID=01 per source note.
• Frame length byte is ASCII '8' (0x38) for both Set and Get; the Length value counts message bytes excluding the trailing CR.
• All command codes in the YAML command: fields are written verbatim from the Set-Function / Get-Function tables (source Section 11.3.1 and 11.3.2). Hex byte for each opcode is captured in the inline comment.
• Set-Date (cmd V = 0x56) and Set-Time (cmd W = 0x57) reuse a single opcode across Year/Month/Day or Hour/Minute/Second respectively; the value prefix byte (Y/M/D, H/M/S) selects the field. They are listed as separate source rows and therefore as separate actions, matching the granularity rule.
• "Power on" reply is documented as an exception for VT2405LED-1 and VT3205LED (reply 0x32 2B 0D = "2+"); the CDE5010 Series is not called out as one of these exception models, but the note is reproduced here for awareness.
• "Power STBY status" Get reply is similarly noted as an exception for VT2405LED-1 and VT3205LED (reply 0x36 72 6C 30 30 30 0D = "6rl000"); same caveat as above.
• LAN/RJ-45 control is referenced in the hardware section along with an OSD "RS232-Routing" selector (RS232 / LAN -> RS232) and an SICP Network Port (1025-65535, unavailable: 8000 / 9988 / 15220 / 28123 / 28124), but the TCP/IP wire protocol is not documented in this excerpt.
• IR loop-through supports up to 9 displays (and IR daisy-chain via RS232 likewise up to 9 displays) per the hardware notes.

Verification Summary

verdict: verified
checked_at: 2026-06-02T07:06:51.005Z
matched_actions: 67
action_count: 67
confidence: medium
summary: "All 67 spec actions matched to source commands with correct opcodes, parameters, and ranges; all transport values verified verbatim in source documentation. (7 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "TCP/LAN control is mentioned in the hardware section (RJ-45, SICP Network Port 1025-65535) but the source does not document the TCP wire protocol for the command set; LAN transport is therefore not represented here."
- "flow control not stated in source (parity/data/stop fixed; flow not mentioned)"
- "no protocol command documented to set monitor ID; configured via OSD only per source."
- "no multi-step macros documented in source."
- "source contains no safety warnings, voltage interlocks, or power-sequencing requirements"
- "LAN command transport not specified in source."
- "firmware version compatibility, voltage / power specs, error recovery behavior, and TCP transport details are not stated in the source excerpt provided."
