GENERAL NOTES
==================
If controlling the projector over IP you will need to turn on a setting called Communication On. You can find this in the projector menu under ECO/Standby Mode.
If you are unable to use or see the SDDP information being sent from the projector you might want to check if it is turned on. You can find this in the menu of the projector under NETWORK/ADVANCED SETTINGS. If you reset the network settings this might be disabled.
Start up Source:
You will want to disable the Start Up Source Search in projectors menu. Go to Extended, Operation, Start up Source Search and turn if off.
CONTROL METHOD
============
This driver supports Network and Serial control. When more than one control binding is made
the driver will automatically select the active control binding in this priority order:
-Network
-Serial
FOR SERIAL/RS-232 CONTROL:
9600 baud / 8 data bits / 1 stop bits / no parity / no flow control
Use a null modem cable to connect to your controller.
DRIVER PROPERTIES
===========================
TIMER DELAY PROPERTY SETTINGS
For Network and Serial Control, the driver waits to receive acknowledgement from the device for the previous command before issuing subsequent commands. So in these cases the command timer, "Command Delay Milliseconds", value is the time elapsed before the current command is popped from the command queue and the next command in the queue, if any, will be sent.
Power On Delay Seconds:
Used to establish the amount of time that will elapse during the power-on sequence before the driver continues to issue commands.
Power Off and Query Delay Seconds:
Projectors have multiple power states like warm up and cool down. This timer is used to query the power status after the projector has booted up and cooled down.
When using the Network Control Method, the "Polling Interval Seconds" value determines how often the driver will send a keep-alive query to the receiver. This query is useful in testing and maintaining a network connection.
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
The projector sends an error command when a non-valid command is sent to it. For example, the projectors that support volume control, if you are at the top of the volume scale and send a volume up the projector will send back a generic error code. Another example is aspect modes, if the aspect you requested is not valid due to your input signal the projector will send back a generic error. You can see this in the LUA output window of the driver.
PROGRAMMING
===========
The projector driver has two variables that you can program off of; Projector_Operating_Status and Lamp_Hours
Variable: Projector_Operating_Status
There are 4 states to this variable
ON
OFF
WARMUP
COOLDOWN
ABNORMALITY_STANDBY
To access this variable go to programming and expand the device variables for the projector. Select the Projector_Operating_Status in the device events window (left). Do the same on the device action (right). In the Device Actions go to the conditionals of the Projector_Operating_Status variable. This is where you can type in the status of the variable. Example, you might want to trigger an email when the projector goes into its EMERGENCY state. Your script might say:
When the variable (Room Name) ->Projector_Operating_Status changes
If (Room Name) ->Projector->Projector_Operating_Status EQUALTO EMERGENCY
Email Notification to 'dealer@bestdealer.com' with subject as : EMERGENCY
Variable: Lamp_Hours
The purpose for this variable is to request the lamp hours and be able to link that in programming. You could setup a monthly scheduled event that checked if the Lamp_Hours variable is greater than 2500 hours and then email you that value. This will allow you to order a new bulb for the projector before it fails.
Change Log:
Version 2: Changed Lamp_Hours Variable from a STRING to a NUMBER
