17SERIAL Terminals ConnectionThe SERIAL terminal is used when this Display is controlled bya computer.Display No.1[RS-232C]NOTES:• Use the RS-232C cross cable to connect the computer tothis Display.• The computer shown is for example purposes only.• Additional equipment and cables shown are not suppliedwith this set.Signal names for SERIAL IN terminal:6 7 8 91 3 4 52Pin No. Signal Name1 DCD2 RXD3 TXD4 DTR5 GND6 DSR7 RTS8 CTS9 RIThese signal names are those of computer specifications.The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interfacespecification, so that this Display can be controlled by acomputer which is connected to this terminal.The computer will require software which allows the sendingand receiving of control data which satisfies the conditionsgiven below. Use a computer application such as programminglanguage software. Refer to the documentation for the computerapplication for details.Communication parameters:Signal level RS-232C compliantSynchronization method AsynchronousBaud rate 9600 bpsParity NoneCharacter length 8 bitsStop bit 1 bitFlow control -Basic format for control data:The transmission of control data from the computer starts with Header byte, followed by the command, the parameters, andlastly byte of checksum in that order. If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.Header MonitorID Category Code0 Code1 Length Control Data[0] Data[1] ~ Data[N] Checksum0xA6 0~26 0x00 0x00 0x00 N+3 0x01 Command Parameter The total from Header to Data[N] calculated by XORNOTES:• Multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to wait for the response for the first command to come from this unit beforesending the next command.• If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this unit will send an “ERROR” command back to the computer.Command:Command Parameter Control Details0x19 None Get Power State0x18 0x01 POWER OFF0x18 0x02 POWER ON0x45 None Get Volume0x44 0~100 Set Volume0xAC 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Change source to VIDEO0xAC 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Change source to DVD/HD0xAC 0x09, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00 Change source to DVI0xAC 0x09, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Change source to HDMI0xAC 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Change source to PC0x3B None Get picture format0x3A 0x00 Change picture format to Normal0x3A 0x01 Change picture format to Custom0x3A 0x02 Change picture format to Real0x3A 0x03 Change picture format to Full
