Controlling the Monitor with a PC

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the same as in the “Basic operation” section.

<ID numbers>

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 27). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (using the remote control) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.

[Example]

ID number: 1

ID number: 2

ID number: 3

ID number: 4

PC

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20”.

When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID numbers.

ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be connected as shown below.

[Example]

ID number: 3

ID number: 2

ID number: 4

ID number: 1
