3.141 system statusssT  sYsTeM sTaTUs 
Use	 SST	to	 find	 out	a	variety	 of	information	 about	the	current	 state	of	the	 projector.	 The	single	
broad-ranging  request  (ssT?)  for all  information  triggers  the  return  of  a  series  of  replies  as  if 
multiple requests had been sent. In each of these status replies, P1 explains the general content 
or  topic  in  the  reply,  and  P2  the  individual  details.  To  obtain  status  regarding  one  topic  only, 
specify  the  desired  P1  parameter  corresponding  to  that  topic  in  your  request—for  example, 
the  request  (ssT?0)	will	trigger	 general	 projector	 information	 only.	For	a	specific	 single-status	
inquiry, include both P1 and P2 in the request—for example,  (ssT?4 2) asks whether the lamp 
door is open or closed. Thus you can use the SST request command in 3 ways: 
  1)  (ssT?)	returns	all	results	along	with	descriptive	text/data.	 The	specifics			
	 	 within	each	of	the	five	status	groups	will	vary	from	model	to	model	and	be		
    affected by options installed, software versions and other factors, thus a\
  
    general SST inquiry is a good way to establish exactly what status reports  
    are available for your projector. 
  2)  (ssT? x)  where X = which Status Group 0-4 (P1). This request obtains all  
    results belonging to this status group. 
  3)  (ssT? x Y) where X = which Status Group 0-4  (P1), and Y= which Detail   
    0-varies (P2). This request obtains 
for all projectors listed on page 3: 
  P1 = Status Group 
    0 = General Projector Model Information – model, serial#, resolution,\
 factory  
          settings, etc.  
    1 = System Status – power on/off, lamp, hours of use, shutter, OSD, etc. 
    2 = Signal Information – source frequency, channel#, switching, etc. 
    3 = Operation Status – errors, temperatures, and interlocks 
    4 = Versions – h/w versions, s/w versions, h/w serial numbers, optional    
          modules

Use TBL to blank (turn to black) the top of the image. Range depends on the s\
ource. 
TMD  TIMe & Da Te 
TMD sets the time & date in the projector’s Real Time Clock. 
  P1 = Year (####, such as 2005) 
  P2 = Month (1= Jan., 2 = Feb., etc.) 
  P3 = Date (1-31) 
  P4 = Hour (0-23, 24-hr. clock) 
  P5 = Minute (0-59) P6 = Second (0-59) 
 
  examples:
  (TMD!2004/08/13 14:21:00) = August 13, 2004 at 2:21 pm 
  (TMD!2005/02/03 08:12:00) = February 3, 2005 at 8:12 am 
TnT  TInT 
TNT sets the tint for video images. The TNT value represents a percentage, e.g. 1000=100.0 % 
or 0505=50.5%. 
UsR  UseR Message 
Use  USR  to  load  a  user  message  for  display  in  the  Status  menu.  Use  the  form  (USR) 
following the structure outlined in the following table to set the desir\
ed text to be displayed. 
Parameter name Description
P1 Text The text may contain the following special characters (all characters 
0-255 that are not in this list may be included in the text directly): \

\ = backslash 
\” = quote 
\(  = left bracket 
\)  = right bracket 
\b = 0x01 control code (beginning of message) 
\e = 0x0E control code (end of message) 
\s = 0x13 control code (Xoff) 
\g = 0x11 control code (Xon) 
\c = 0x1B control code (ESC) 
The last entries in the table are control codes that will not appear in \
a 
status page message -- they are listed here for completeness because 
the same text format is used to save and restore source data as well 
as to download code.

When  a  request  is  made  to  retrieve  the  user  message  that  has  already  been  set,  the  returned 
value is displayed in the same format as setting the text. 
 examples:
  (usr“hello world”)      - basic user message. 
  (usr“hello world
line two”)   - message with new line in the middle.
  (usr“Contact \“freddy\” for help”)  - message with embedded quote. 
  See 2.1, Basic Message Structure for text parameters. 
Vbl   VIDeo blaCK leVel 
Use VBL to set black levels to 0 IRE (0) or 1 (7.5 IRE) for video signals. Most NTSC standards 
include a 7.5IRE “Setup” to the video black level. By adjusting this setting the projector can be 
optimized  for  incoming  data  with  or  without  this  “Setup”.  If  it  is  set  wrong  the  image  will  have 
elevated blacks or crushed blacks. 
VRT  VeRTICal PosITIon 
Use VRT to adjust the vertical position of the image. 
VsT  VeRTICal sTReTCh 
Use VST to electronically stretch the image vertically (200-4000) without affecting the horizontal 
size. 1000 is the neutral position (no stretching). 
Wfh  WaRP  PRefIlTeR h 
Use	WFH	to	set	or	request	the	warp	horizontal	pre-filter.	Requires	Wolf	WARP 	module.	
WfV  WaRP  PRefIlTeR V 
Use	WFV	to	set	or	request	the	warp	vertical	pre-filter.	Requires	Wolf	WARP 	module.	
WKC  2D KeYsT one CoRneRs 
noTe: Requires Wolf WARP module. 
Use	 WKC	 to	set	 or	request	 the	x/y	coordinates	 for	the	 four	 corners	 defining	 “2D	keystone”,	 i.e.	
a 4-sided image shape. 
  P1 = index of the position to set or request 
  P2 = value to set if it is a set command 
The valid indices are as follows, each with a range that depends on the resolution of the projector 
you are working with: 
  1 = Top Left Corner – Horizontal Position (x) 
  2 = Top Left Corner – Vertical Position (y) 
  3 = Top Right Corner – Horizontal Position (x) 
  4 = Top Right Corner – Vertical Position (y)
  5 = Bottom Left Corner – Horizontal Position (x) 
  6 = Bottom Left Corner – Vertical Position (y) 
  7 = Bottom Right Corner – Horizontal Position (x) 
  8 = Bottom Right Corner – Vertical Position (y)

							B-46
Any	coordinate	 value	that	is	½	 that	 of	the	 native	 resolution	 of	the	 projector	 defines	a	“normal”	
location (i.e., no warping). For example, in a projector with 1400 x 1050 resolution, any “x” value 
of	 700	 is	normal.	 A	value	 over	700	moves	 a	corner	 to	the	 right;	 a	value	 below	 700	moves	 a	corner	
to  the  left. A  value  of  0  moves  a  corner  as  far  from  center  as  possible  (which  may  be  off  the 
screen). You can move a point towards center by a distance that is ¼ of the full resolution—for 
example, you can move the top left point to the right by a maximum distance of 350 pixels, which 
is ¼ of the total 1400 pixels available. 
WPl   WaRP  laTenCY  
Use WPL to set or request the warp latency. Requires Wolf WARP module. 
WPs  WaRP  seleCT 
Use  WPS  to  select  which  warp  map  to  use,  or  to  disable  warping.  Requires  Wolf  WARP 
module. 
  0 = Disable 
  1 = 2D Keystone
	 2-4	=	User-defined	maps	
Wsh  WaRP  shaRPness 
Set or request the warp sharpness. 
zoM  zooM  
The  ZOM  adjusts  lens  zoom  (image  size)  on  projectors  having  a  motorized  lens  mount,  and 
requires keypad emulation. 
  examples:
  (ZOM K3)   Zoom in for a smaller image 
  (ZOM K2)   Zoom out for a larger image 
  (ZOM K0)   Stop zoom adjustment (if not issued, lens movement will continue  
      until it reaches the end stop).
To “nudge” the zoom in a minimum amount, script in a delay between (ZOM K3) and (ZOM K0). 
Depending	on	your	application,	a	delay	of	at	least	20-30	milliseconds	may	be	sufficient.

CalCUlaTIng ThRoW DIsT anCe
It is important throw distance be precisely calculated for your installation using the appropriate 
formula from the chart below. To calculate throw distance you must know the screen size and the 
lens type installed in the projector. In general, the larger you want the image to be the greater the 
distance you must allow between the lens and the screen.
noTes:  1) Throw  distance  is  measured  from  the  screen  to  the  front  of  the  projector’s  front 
feet  (on  Integrated  (i)  units)  or  internal  light  engine  face  (on  Full  Dress  (FD)  units).  2) This 
measurement is not necessarily parallel to the floor as the projector and screen may be inclined. 
3) Due to lens manufacturing, throw distance calculations have a tolerance \
of ± 5%.
Throw Distance Calculation  for DCx-i
  Throw Distance measured from screen to front of Projector
  1.45 - 1.8 HD Min. 1.45 x screen width + 1.79 
  1.86 - 2.58 HD Min. 1.86 x screen width – 3.95 
  2.65 - 4.0 HD Min. 2.65 x screen width +11.33 
  4.5 - 6.7 HD Min. 4.5 x screen width + 10.664 
  Divide max throw by 1.33 for VariScope min throw for 1.78 to 2.35 screen
Throw Distance Calculation  for DCx-fD
 Throw Distance measured from screen to front of Projector
  1.45 - 1.8 HD Min. 1.45 x screen width + 12.04 
  1.86 - 2.58 Min. 1.86 x screen width +6.3 
  2.65 - 4.0 HD Min. 2.65 x screen width +21.58 
  4.5 - 6.7 HD Min. 4.5 x screen width + 20.9 
  Divide max throw by 1.33 for VariScope min throw for 1.78 to 2.35 screen
Throw Distance Calculation  for DCx-i and DCx-fD Variscope 2.35
 Throw Distance measured from screen to front VariScope housing
  1.45 - 1.8 HD Min. 1.45 x screen width + 12.04 
  1.86 - 2.58 HD Min. 1.86 x screen width +6.3 
  2.65 - 4.0 HD Min. 2.65 x screen width +21.58 
  4.5 - 6.7 HD Min. 4.5 x screen width + 20.9 
  Divide maximum throw by 1.12 for VariScope minimum throw for 1.78 to 2.35 or larger

The  GPIO  (General  Purpose  Input  Output)  connector  located  on  the  input  panel  provides  a 
flexible	method	 of	interfacing	 a	wide	 range	 of	external	 I/O	devices	 to	the	 projector.	 There	are	
seven	 GIO	pins	 available	 on	the	 nine-pin	 D-Sub	GPIO	connector,	 which	are	configurable	 via	
RS232 commands. The other two pins are reserved for ground and power – see table below for 
pin	identification.

ConfIgURIng The gPIo 
	 The	 GPIO	connector	 can	be	configured	 to	automate	 any	number	 of	events	 using	the	serial	
command	 code	GIO.	Each	 pin	is	defined	 as	either	 an	input	 or	output	 depending	 on	the	
desired	 outcome.	 In	general,	 configure	 the	pin	as	an	 input	 if	you	 want	 the	projector	 to	
respond  to  something  the  external  device  does  and  as  an  output  if  you  want  the  external 
device	 to	respond	 to	an	 action	 taken	by	the	 projector.	 For	example,	 configure	 the	pin	as	an	
output  if  you  want  the  lighting  in  a  room  to  automatically  dim  when  the  projector  is  turned 
on.
  By using the GIO command, you can also set the state of each pin as high or low. By default, 
the state of each pin is high. The voltage applied to pins in the high state is + 3.3V.
  example  1.  Turn  room  lighting  on  when  the  projector  is  turned  off.  (Assumes  a  control/
automation unit is configured to turn the lights on when pin 2 of its input goes high.)
 
  (GIO C2 O)         Set pin #2 configuration to output 
  (GIO 2 H)        Set pin #2 to high (state)

  (GIO? C2)        Request configuration for pin #2
  (GIO! C2 O)        Reply with pin #2 configuration as output
  (GIO? 2)        Request the state of pin #2
  (GIO! H)        Reply with pin #2 state as highThe  serial  cable  required  for  connecting 
the  external  device  to  the  projector’s  GPIO 
connector, whether it’s a standard serial cable 
or  a  custom  one,  must  be  compatible  with  the 
external device.
