DU9900Z-BK Remote Communication Projector

Product Information

The DU9900Z DLP Projector Remote Communication Manual provides information on how to control the projector using RS-232 serial commands. The manual lists the available menu options, which are INPUT, PICTURE, ALIGNMENT, CONTROL, and SERVICE. It also provides communication parameters that need to be set up before using the serial control command. The manual includes a list of operation commands that can be used to query current setups, set up brightness, input signal source, and reset projection lens.

Product Usage Instructions

Connect the RS-232 cable to the projector’s RS-232 port.
Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the computer.
Open a Windows client terminal software, such as Hyper Terminal.
Set up the communication parameters for the terminal software as follows:
- Bit per Second: 9600 bps
- Data Bit: 8-bit
- Parity: None
- Stop Bit: 1
- Flow Control: None
- Port: 7000
Use the serial control command to input commands for projector control or retrieve its operational data through the terminal software with ASCII characters.
Prefix an operation command by typing “op” followed by control commands and settings separated by a space blank [SP]. End each command with a carriage return pair CR and ASCII hex 0D.
To query current setups, use the question mark “?” symbol.
To set up brightness, use the “op bright = [value]” command.
To set up input signal source, use the “op input.sel = [value]” command. Replace [value] with the appropriate input source number. For example, “op input.sel = 0” sets the input signal source to HDMI.
To reset projection lens to center position, use the “lens.center” command.
Make sure to receive the return message of the last command before sending out the next one when sending multiple commands.

The Serial Interface RS-232 Command

This projector supports to control by RS-232 command, there exist two types of RS-232 serial commands:

Operation command: Available menu options are INPUT, PICTURE, ALIGNMENT, CONTROL and SERVICE.
Simulated IR remote controller commands: Controls projector via RS-232 command, the commands simulate IR remote controller and its control keys.

Communication parameter

You can use the serial control command to input commands for projector control or retrieve its operational data through Windows client terminal software, e.g. Hyper Terminal, with ASCII characters. You need to set up the following communication parameters in advance:

Item	Parameter:
Bit per Second	9600 bps
Data Bit	8-bit
Parity	None
Stop Bit	1
Flow Control	None
Port	7000

Note

The terminal software does not return every command input character
The transmission performance varies with the length of RS-232 cable

Operation commands

Operation command syntax

An operation command is prefixed by character “op”, followed by control commands and settings separated by space blank [SP], and ended by carriage return pair “CR” and “ASCII hex 0D”.Syntax of serial control commands:

op[SP] [SP][CR]

op: A constant indicating this is an operation command.
[SP]: Indicate one blank space.
[CR]: Indicate the command ending carriage return pair “CR” and “ASCII hex 0D”.
Setting value: Settings of operation command

Types of setup strings

Query current setup Setup Increase setup order of adjustment items Decrease setup order of adjustment items Execute operation command

Examples:

Control items
Query current brightness
Set up brightness
Set up input signal source to
HDMI
Reset projection lens to
center position

Description

Question mark “?” indicates querying current setup Syntax: Symbol “=” suffixed with setup values Some settings are changed in steps. Symbol “+” indicates changing one step up Some settings are changed in steps. Symbol “-” indicates changing one step down Certain operation commands execute after input without further setting or regulators.

Note: When sending the multiple commands, make sure the return message of the last command is received before sending out the next one.

This control command simulates the IR remote controller and its control keys. It shares the same syntax of operation command. It begins with characters “ky”, followed by control commands and settings separated by space blank [SP], and ended by carriage return pair “CR” and “ASCII hex 0D”.Control command syntax:
ky[SP][CR]

Examples:

Power On: ky power.on [CR]
Power Off: ky power.off [CR]

Control the Projector Through a Network

This machine supports the following methods in remotely controlling the projector through a network:

Control projector through web browser.
Control projector with RS-232 control or simulated IR commands via TCP/IP communication protocol.

Cable connection

You may connect the projector to a PC or to an external integrated video and control signal transmission box through LAN for remote control.

Connect the projector to a PC
See figure below for connecting the projector to a PC in RJ-45 cable for control. For connection through LAN, connect the hub through to the projector’s HDBaseT/LAN port.

Connect with an external integrated video and control signal transmission box
You may connect the projector to an external integrated video and control signal transmission box with RJ-45 cable for concurrent video and networking control signal transmission. Please connect the PC to the transmission box with one RJ-45 cable or RS-232 cable, then connect the transmission box to the HDBaseT/LAN terminal of the projector by one RJ-45 cable, please refer to below illustration.

Set up the projector for networking

Before performing projector control by network, please configurate the network setting and make sure Standby Power is set to On.

DU9900Z-BK Remote Communication Projector 3

Network Mode: Switch network mode for projector control or service, the default setting is Projector Control.
Projector Control: Switch Network Mode for projector control.
Service: Switch Network Mode for service, the network configuration is changed to default setting for service.
Note: this option is for firmware update in service only.

Standby Power: Select the standby power consumption option

On: This is highest standby power consumption option for enabling projector control via RS-232 and LAN. Please select this option if you would like to control the projector via Ethernet.
Off: the standby power consumption is kept under 0.5W, RS-232 and network control are turned off

Caution:
Network and RS-232 control are disabled if Standby Power is set to off for reducing the standby power consumption (less 0.5W). Please make sure Standby Power is set to On before controlling the projector via RS-232 or LAN.

DHCP: Enable or disable the DHCP service. When DHCP is set to ON, the DHCP server of the domain will assign an IP address to the projector. The IP address will appear in the IP address window and you don’t need to set the IP address. Otherwise, the domain does not or cannot assign any IP address, and 0. 0. 0. 0 is shown on the IP address window.
IP Address: Set DHCP “OFF” and specify an IP address manually. Use the ◄► button to select the number in the address to change. Use the ▲▼ button to increase or decrease the number in the IP address.
Subnet Mask: Set the sub mask. The input method is the same as the setting for IP address.
Gateway: Set the gateway. The input method is the same as the setting for IP address.
DNS: Set the DNS. The input method is the same as the setting for IP address.
MAC Address: Show projector’s MAC Address.

Caution: Search DHCP or IP address, it will take the projector several seconds to apply network configuration.
