Remotely Control ScanDo HD
ScanDo HD comes equipped with a RS-232 and an standard Ethernet port.
It is suggested that you review the ScanDo HD User’s Manual prior to
controlling the ScanDo HD from a remote location.
ScanDo HD ships from the factory with no presets stored.
Therefore, it is necessary for the user to store any presets they may desire
for this feature to be active.
You may store and recall presets via the RS-232 port or via the intuitive GUI.
For RS-232 instructions, please see page 8 of this manual.
For ethernet/GUI instructions, please see page 10 of this manual.
The Preset function stores the current settings based on the current output
format timing and DVI input resolution.
ScanDo HD stores the following information in its Preset memory:
• The Zoom ( H & V size ) of the image
• The Pan ( H & V position ) of the image
• All Processing Control Settings ( Brightness, Sharpness, etc. )
• The Anti-Flicker Setting
Note: A preset may not be recalled if the output format and/or the input
resolution differs from the output format and/or input resolution saved
with the preset.

The following communication parameters should be observed when connecting
to the ScanDo HD via the RS-232 port.
• 19200 Baud
• 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
• generic TTY
• no flow control
The following command formats should be observed when controlling the
ScanDo HD via the RS-232 port.
• Commands are NOT case sensitive.
• Illegal commands or commands with illegal parameters have no effect.
• The unit will return an error message.
• A carriage return is a carriage return only and does not include a line feed.

indicates a preset is stored.
The bits are mapped to the
presets as follows:
bit 0 = Preset 1

2 A command that is issued with a parameter that exceeds the limits of the move range will cause the image to move to its limit.
3 An “E4” error message received after sending this command means that the output format is currently being set from the ScanDo HD
front panel and the command will not be processed.
4. An “E4” error message received after sending this command indicates that the preset being recalled is empty.
An “E7” error message received after sending this command indicates a memory failure.
An “E9” error message received after sending this command indicates a video processor resource limit.
5. An “E9” error message received after sending this command indicates a video processor resource limit.
6. This command is only applicable to Standard Definition output formats and will return an “E4” error message if executed while
the unit is configured to output a High Definition signal.
7. An “E7” error message received after sending this command indicates a memory failure. The preset was not completely erased.
8. When the input display is frozen, most of ScanDo HDs functions are prohibited. The image freeze is meant to be used when switching
from one input resolution to another or when switching between an analog input and a digital input. The unit will block the video
processor from changing any parameters that will affect the output video.
