Horopter settings L = 10 R = 11 4 DISPARTY OFF = 10 ON = 11 The values set in the CONTROL are applied. 1 HOROPTER CHECK 2. CONTROL data value OFF = 10 Values for disparity simulation is specified as -50 to +50, ON = 01 and each value is one byte of data.
First data byte: 1 Numerical value data This is not the data to increase or decrease the current setting value. Enter the adjustment value. Bias data consist of 11-bit. MSB is a Mark data and is represented as a complement of 2. The setting values are in the range between –1024 and 1023.
USER CONFIG 5 = 011 The byte order is the same as that specified in “2. CONTROL data value” of “Control Data (23H)” on page 7. User Memory Data (43H) 8th data byte: Specifies the ASPECT in one data byte. The memory data 01 to 20 are stored in the NVM of the Specifies for each input signal.
21st data byte: Specifies the color temp in one data If the value other than the above values is specified, a byte. NAK is issued. The values are specified as follows: 24th data byte: Specifies the I/P Mode in one data byte. The byte order is the same as that specified in “I/P Mode (27H)”...
data and is represented as a complement of 2. The White Balance Sense (61H) setting values are in the range between –100 and +100. The values are specified as follows: This command is used to obtain the values for USER of the white balance data stored in the NVM of the monitor.
G gain Status Remote (6EH) B gain This command is used to obtain the current remote R bias control status for the monitor. G bias The monitor will reply with the Status Remote Reply B bias (7EH). 3D Offset Reply (73H) Status Reply (70H) This command is used to send the 3D offset data to the remote controller.
6th data byte: Sends the BRIGHTNESS data in one 23rd data byte: Sends the Computer Detect and Preset data byte. data in one data byte. The byte order is the same as that specified in “2. The byte order is the same as that of the 22nd data byte CONTROL data value”...
ACK Reply (04H) The monitor sends this command when all the commands were correctly received and executed. NAK Reply (05H) The monitor sends this command when an error has occurred after reception of the command. The [0x05] command data is specified as the first data byte of the command block.
Ethernet Connections When you connect the unit to the network that uses the Ethernet, use the straight cable. When using a hub for network connection, use a hub with automatic cable type Overview (straight or cross) detection feature (AUTO MDIX). The unit can control the monitor using the commands Network ports used by the monitor (the FTP described in this manual via the network (Ethernet).
Definition of the SDAP protocol Communication Category Description Protocol Protocol name SDAP (Simple Display Advertisement Protocol) You can control the monitor using the Simple Display Transport type Control Protocol (SDCP) and the Simple Display Port number 53862 Advertisement Protocol (SDAP), which define the Broadcast interval Monitor: 15 seconds packet conventions and communication procedures for Controller: 30 seconds...
SDAP packet version 4 includes all of the fields Category: Indicates the category number of the display comprising version 3, which is used for the SONY SRX device. For a monitor, it is fixed to 0Bh. For a monitor projector, plus Group ID and Unit ID.
Format ID settings for various connection modes Version 3 includes all of the fields comprising version 2, which is used for SONY SRX projector, plus Group ID Mode Group ID Unit ID and Unit ID, with the Data length field changed to two Peer to Peer bytes.
