0 = Minimum logging of activities. Logging system errors, warnings and events (i.e. power on/off, lamp on/off,
user login/logout).
1 = Standard logging. Most activities logged - errors, warnings, events, and other info.
2 = Maximum logging. All activities are logged.
SUBCODE
DESCRIPTION OF USE
Select data logging level.
EXAMPLES:
(DLG1) set current logging level to 1.
(DLG?) get current logging level. Response is (DLG!001).
(DMX) DMX/ARTNET
CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator
DESCRIPTION
The DMX control sets options for the DMX interface. It allows a user to select whether they want to receive data
from both the DMX input card (inserted into the card cage in one of the input slots), or via ArtNet, an Ethernet
based DMX protocol which monitors UDP port 6454.
The Input termination (2 Watt, 120 Ohm) is required on the last DMXC card in a loop through configuration. (i.e.
only on the last projector). Termination may be either hardware (by plugging in a termination dongle, etc) or may
be switched in by software, but should not be both.
Note that hardware termination is recommended, because software termination is only in place when the projector
has AC applied. If there are cases where the network is required to be terminated without AC applied to the last
projector, then a hardware terminator should be used
32 of 90J Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information020-100796-01 Rev. 1 (10-2011) (DMX) DMX/Artnetcon’t SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Selects the source of the DMX/ArtNet input: 0 = DMX Input Card and ArtNet - Monitors for data on both the DMX input card (if plugged in) and ArtNet. If the DMX card is actively receiving data, ArtNet will be ignored. 1 = DMX Input Card Only - Only monitors the DMX card for input 2 = ArtNet Only - Only monitors ArtNet for input 3 = Disabled - Both interfaces are disabled CHAN Sets the base channel for the DMX device. Generally used if there are multiple projectors on a single subnet/universe i.e. the first pro- jector would use base channel 0. If using the basic personality (20 channels), the 2nd projector should use base channel 21. The DMX specification allows for overlap, but this is likely undesir- able. Note: The Base channel setting must allow enough space for the channels required by the selected personality.i.e. If the Basic Personality is selected, the Base Channel may be in the range 1- 492. If the Advanced Personality is selected, the Base Channel may be in the range 1-448 PERS Sets the DMX personality. A personality represents a set of chan- nels the application will monitor for changes. Values: Show (0) - A minimal personality composed of controls most likely to be used while a show is running Setup (1) - Contains all of the show controls plus additional con- trols used for setting up a show ZAP (2) - Special personality which uses locks for critical func- tions (cannot be used with an all-slider type board. TERM Switches termination resistance in/out of the circuit. If software termination is to be used on the DMX input card, this control should be enabled. If this control is not enabled, a physical termi- nator should be used. It may be necessary to clear this setting upon card removal. By default SW termination is disabled. UNVS This control specifies which universe the projector belongs to, so it can filter out all other data packets. The Universe applies to ArtNet only, and does not apply to the DMXC input card. SUBN This control sets the subnet for this projector. This is not to be con- fused with a subnet mask. A subnet identifies a set of universes. The subnet and universe in combination uniquely identify the channels a projector is listening on. The Subnet applies to ArtNet only, and does not apply to the DMXC input card. FLTR If you have a noisy Analog to Digital converter in your DMX/Art- Net device (output oscillates between two values), this filter can be used to eliminate the input noise at the cost of fine control resolu- tion in some controls. By default this filter is set to 0 (Off). It is not recommended to use this feature unless you are experiencing prob- lems with your DMX input.
J Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information33 of 90020-100796-01 Rev. 1 (10-2011) (DMX) DMX/ArtNet con’t EXAMPLES: (DMX1) Ignore ArtNet traffic, use only the DMX interface (DMX+CHAN 50) set the base channel to 50 (i.e. listen to data starting at channel 50) (DRK) 3D DARK INTERVAL CONTROL GROUP: Input SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Controls the time between frames when no image is being projected to the screen. Used for 3D applications to determine the time that the shutter mechanism has to open or close between fields. Keep at default value of zero for all other applications. Increasing this control will reduce the peak brightness of the image. Refer to User Man- ual for details on how to adjust. SUBCODE MAIN DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the 3D Dark Interval for the main image. INxy Set the 3D Dark Interval for slot x, input y. EXAMPLES: (DRK 0) - Set 3D dark interval to 0 on main video (DRK+MAIN 500) - Set 3D dark interval to 5.00 milliseconds on main (DRK+IN12 300) - Set 3D dark interval to 3.00 milliseconds on slot 1 input 2 (DRK?) - Returns the 3D dark interval value on main video (DRK+IN12?) - Returns the 3D dark interval on slot 1 input 2 (DTL) DETAIL CONTROL GROUP: Input SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION This control adjusts the sharpness of the image. The sharpness detail enhancement applied is based on adaptive horizontal, vertical and diagonal large edge and small edge enhancement processes. Setting detail above the halfway-point can introduce noise in the image; lower settings can improve a noisy sig- nal. This command does not take effect unless the minimum change required in the (DTT) control is reached. SUBCODE INxy DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the detail for slot x, input y. MAIN Set the detail for main video. PIIP or SECD Set the detail for PIP or Secondary video. EXAMPLE: (DTL 50) - Set the detail to mid point for main video.
34 of 90J Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information020-100796-01 Rev. 1 (10-2011) (DTO) DETAIL OVERSHOOT CONTROL GROUP: Input SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Detail overshoot / undershoot control is provided to minimize ringing on the enhanced edges detail and texture effects. SUBCODE INxy DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the detail overshoot for slot x, input y. MAIN Set the detail overshoot for main video. PIIP or SECD Set the detail overshoot for PIP or Secondary video. EXAMPLE: (DTO 50) - Set the detail overshoot to mid point for main video. (DTT) DETAIL THRESHOLD CONTROL GROUP: Input SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Detail threshold selects a filter sensitivity to noise. A higher value may improve noisy sources especially for higher settings of detail. This control sets the minimum change required before the detail (DTL) function is activated. This allows images to be sharpened without increasing the background noise. SUBCODE INxy DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the detail threshold for slot x, input y. MAIN Set the detail threshold for main video. PIIP or SECD Set the detail threshold for PIP or Secondary video. EXAMPLE: (DTT 50) - Set the detail threshold to mid point for main video. (EBB) BLACKLEVEL BLENDING CONTROL GROUP: Config SUBCLASS: Preference ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION The Black Level Blending control allows for Black Level Blending. Black Level Blending is the process of mod- ifying the pixels in the bright overlapping areas that result from the overlapping of two or more images. Correct adjustment eliminates uneven black levels by matching up black area hues with a target area hue (the intersection of the center lines), and adjusting the overlaps (edges) surrounding the target area. Use the black test pattern to perform this function. SUBCODE SLCT DESCRIPTION OF USE Enables or disables black level blending mode, or choose a saved twist black level blending preset. CNTV Changes edge blending black level in the center zone. TOPV Changes edge blending black level in the top zone. LFTV Changes edge blending black level in the left zone.

BTMW Changes edge blending width of the bottom edge. BTMM Changes edge blending curve midpoint of the bottom edge. BTMS Changes edge blending curve slope at the midpoint on the bottom edge. STDC Enable the advanced curve settings. OVLP Enables or Disables edge blending overlap control. This more will make the active portion of the Blend zone very obvious and is intended to make setup easier. RSTA Reset all edge blending parameters to default values. RSTC Reset all ‘advanced’ edge blending parameters to efault values. DTHF When this control is enabled, the Eye-Motion Filter will be applied to the entire screen, rather than applying just to the edge blending regions. FILT Adjust to reduce saccadic eye-motion artifacts, sometimes notice- able in edge blending regions. Too much filtering may result in loss of detail. For best results, adjust this setting while positioned at the nominal screen-viewing distance. EXAMPLES: (EBL+LFTW100) -Set edge blending left width. (EBL+LFTW?) - Get edge blending left width. (EBL+SLCT1) - Use standard edge blending mode. (EBL+OVLP1) - Enables edge blending overlap mode. (EBL+RSTA) - (EBL+RSTC) - (EME) ERROR MESSAGE ENABLE CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Down ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION This control enables the displaying of error messages, and determines to which interface the messages are sent. Error messages can be turned off or can be displayed on the screen, sent out the serial port, or both. This setting does not affect messages for invalid user entries, for which error messages are always displayed. Valid values are: 0 = Off 1 = Screen 2 = Serial ports 3 = All SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Select interfaces to receive error messages.

(EME 1) Direct error messages to the screen. (ESC) EDIT SECONDARY CHANNEL SETTING CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION In Interleaved 3D mode, this control allows the user the option to independently control primary and secondary channel settings, or to use the same setting for both links. By default, this control is unchecked, meaning any set- tings applied to the primary input will also be applied to the secondary input. In this case, the secondary channel settings cannot be set directly by the user. When checked, the secondary channel settings become editable. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Set primary/secondary channel independence for Interleaved 3D mode. EXAMPLE: (ESC 1) Enable editing of secondary channel/input settings. (FAD) FADE TIME CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Down ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Controls the amount of time it takes to fade between images on a source switch. It also fades in the PIP and OSD if possible. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Time in hundredths of a second to allow the fade. Range 0 - 150 where 150 = 1.5 seconds, 1 = 10ms, 0 = off. EXAMPLE: (FAD 100) - Fade for 1 second. (FAS) FAN ASSIST SWITCH CONTROL GROUP: Saved SUBCLASS: Power Down ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Enables or disables the ability for all fans to operate at maximum speed during a thermal over-temp condition. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Enable or disable maximum fan operation. EXAMPLES: (FAS 1) - Turn on fan assist. (FAS 0) - Turn off fan assist.
38 of 90J Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information020-100796-01 Rev. 1 (10-2011) (FCS) FOCUS LENS POSITION ADJUSTMENT CONTROL GROUP: Configuration SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Move the focus motor to a specified position. The default data range is -1200 to 1200. The range may change after running the Lens Calibration function, which determines the full range allowed by the hardware. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Adjust the lens focus offset to a specific position. EXAMPLE: (FCS 500) - Move lens focus to position 500. (FIL) FILTER CONTROL GROUP: Input SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Apply an internal Low Pass Filter to the current input signal, before the A/D conversion in analog cards. This removes high frequency noise from input signals. HDTV is typically used for 720p and 1080i video sources. The high bandwidth filter should be used for 1080p or higher frequency sources. Valid values are: 0 = Off 1 = HDTV-High Bandwidth 2 = HDTV 3 = EDTV 4 = SDTV SUBCODE INxy DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the filter for slot x, input y. MAINSet the filter for main video. PIIP or SECD Set the filter for PIP or Secondary video. EXAMPLES: (FIL 2) - Set the filter for main video to HDTV. (FIL+MAIN 2) - Set the filter for main video to HDTV. (FIL+IN32 2) - Set the filter for slot 3 input 2 to HDTV. (FLE) FRAME LOCK ENABLE CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION This control enables or disables Frame Lock, which controls how the projector controls the output frame timing based on the input signal. When set to Frame Lock, output image frames are locked to the input if possible. When locked, the output is always locked to the primary input, never the PIP image. Free Run sets the output to close to 60Hz for all sources. This control must be set to locked if a 3D-Stereo signal is used. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Enables or Disables frame lock.

40 of 90J Series Serial Commands Technical Reference Information020-100796-01 Rev. 1 (10-2011) (FRD) FRAME DELAY CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Delays the output signal timing relative to the input signal timing by a fraction of a frame, and up to several frames. The minimum latency can vary based on the amount of scaling applied to the image. When using key- stone or warping, an additional latency is required, depending on the amount of warp. The control is only avail- able when the input signal is frame locked. In free run mode, or in cases where the signal cannot be frame locked, the minimum latency defined by the scaling and keystoned/warp is applied to the signal. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the amount of delay. EXAMPLE: (FRD 1500) - Delay 1.5 frames. (FRF) FREE RUN FREQUENCY CONTROL GROUP: Preference SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION This controls sets the output video vertical frequency. SUBCODE DESCRIPTION OF USE Set the output vertical frequency, used when running in ‘Free Run” mode. See (FLE) Frame Lock Enable. EXAMPLES: (FRF 5000) - Set free run frequency to 50 Hz. (FRF ?) - Get free run frequency. (FRZ) FREEZE IMAGE CONTROL GROUP: Unsaved SUBCLASS: Power Up ACCESS LEVEL: Operator DESCRIPTION Freeze the display image. This allows a detailed examination of a single frame of an otherwise moving image. Switching channels/inputs automatically switches the projector to unfrozen. SUBCODE MAIN DESCRIPTION OF USE Freeze or un-freeze the main image (1=freeze, 0=unfreeze). PIIP or SECD Freeze or un-freeze the PIP or Secondary image (1=freeze, 0=unfreeze). EXAMPLE: (FRZ+MAIN 1) - Freeze the main image.
