Whitespace: TAB, SPACE, CR

Whitespace characters are TAB (0x09), Space (0x20) and Carriage Return (0x0D).

Whitespace may occur anywhere between two tags, except at the start of a line and inside simple elements

Whitespace is ignored.

Line length: maximum 38 characters

The line length may not exceed 38 characters. (Not including the terminating LF.)

Timeout: 750 ms

Timeout for DCP messages is 750 milliseconds.

DCP messages containing errors are not regarded as completed until the timeout period has elapsed.

Therefore, it is recommended to wait for this time between DCP messages to allow the parser to handle possible errors.

Correct messages are processed immediately upon completion.

Unknown elements

Unknown tags in a DCP message are ignored for the sake of upwards compatibility of the protocol.

Messages containing unknown elements must still be syntactically correct.

Unknown tags may not be nested deeper than 5 levels.

Empty elements

An empty element is an opening tag immediately followed by a closing tag.

((tag)) may be abbreviated as ((tag))
