JVC D-ILA Projector Remote Control Guide

Command Format

The RS-232C commands are bidirectional and consist of a variable number of hexadecimal numbers. All of the commands sent to the projector shown in this guide are either 7 bytes or 10 bytes long. The Acknowledgement Response Return Codes returned from the projector can be between 6 and 14 bytes long. The basic format of the commands is as follows:

Section

Size

Comments

Header

1 byte

Can be one of four possible values – see below

Unit ID

2 bytes

Fixed – always 89 01

Command

2 bytes

See below

Data

Variable

Length varies depending on command – see below

End

1 byte.

Fixed – always 0A

Taking each of these sections in turn:

Header

The header can be one of 4 possible values. These are:

21 – Operating Command (from PC/controller to projector)

3F – Acknowledgement Response return Code Request (from PC/controller to projector)

06 – Acknowledgement Response Return Code – Basic (from projector to PC/controller)

40 – Acknowledgement Response Return Code – Detailed (from projector to PC/controller)

Unit ID

This is fixed at 89 01 for all models.

Command

This is the command sent to/from the projector and varies depending on the command. As an example, the Power Command is 50 57. The other commands can be worked out from the tables on pages 3-9.

Data

This is the value to apply to the command. Using the Power example above, the data value for Off is 30 and the data value for On is 31.

End

This signifies the end of the command and is fixed at 0A for all models.

Putting all this together, a typical command (Power On) to the projector would therefore be:

Error Handling

The projector will ignore any commands that it cannot recognise, e.g. Unit ID does not match, parity error, invalid command, etc. It will also ignore any inappropriate commands, e.g. Power On when in cooling mode.

The projector will discard any commands received if there is a break of 50ms or longer in the incoming data.

If consecutive commands are used, it is assumed that any external controller will not transmit a command until it has received an appropriate Acknowledgement Response Return Code to confirm that the projector is ready to accept the next command (see page 11 for details).
