Connecting to the projector Ethernet port
Communicate with the projector through the Ethernet port.
1. Change the IP address of your computer to place your computer on the same subnet as the
projector.
Make sure the projector IP address is not the same as your computer IP address.
The default IP address of the projector from the factory is 192.168.206.110 with a subnet of
255.255.255.0.
2. Connect to the projector from your computer.
You can make the connection through an Ethernet cable or a wireless router.
3. On the TCP software, use port 5000.
Typically use software such as Net-Terminal, Kore Librarian, or PuTTY to connect to the
projector.
4. Start sending serial commands.
You may need to issue the UID command to give you the permission level required to run the
commands you want to send.
Correct command formatting
Add a space between the function code and the number when entering commands.
For example, (PWR1) can be entered as (PWR 1).
Understanding the message format
Commands sent to and from CineLife+ are formatted as simple text messages consisting of a three
letter function code, an optional four letter subcode, and optional data.
Source Format Function Example
From controller (Code Data) SET (set the gamma file of the active
channel to index 1 from a previous
listing)
(GAM 1)
(Code+Subcode
Data)
SET (set the gamma file for the
specified channel to the specified file)
(GAM+CHAN "Media Block
Flat" "Gamma 2.4")
(Code ?) REQUEST (what is current power
state?)
(PWR?) or (PWR ?)
(Code+Subcode ?) REQUEST (what is the current time?) (TMD+TIME?)
From projector (Code Data) REPLY (active gamma file) (GAM! "Gamma 2.6")
(Code+Subcode
Data)
REPLY (current time is 12:18:49) (TMD+TIME! "12:18:49")
Generally, Set and Reply messages have the same data in the same format, and Requests do not
contain any data.

If printed, please recycle this document after use.

The smallest step size for any parameter is always 1. For some controls, the value displayed on the
screen is a percentage, while the actual hardware has a range of 0 to 255. In such cases, the value
used for the serial communication is 0 to 255, not the percentage value seen on the screen. For
example, 0 equates to 0%, 128 equates to 50.2%, 255 equates to 100%.
Available message types
Message type Description
Set A command to set a projector parameter at a specific level, such as changing the
brightness.
Request A request for information, such as what is the current brightness setting.
Reply Returns the data in response to a request or as confirmation of a command.
Basic message structure
Understand the component fields that comprise a standard ASCII message.
Components Description
Start and end of message Every message begins with the left parenthesis character and ends with the right
parenthesis character.
If the start character is received before an end character of the previous message,
the partial (previous) message is discarded.
Prefix characters (optional) To acknowledge that CineLife+ has responded, and/or maximize message integrity,
insert one or two special characters before the three-character function code:
• $ (Simple Acknowledgment)—Causes a dollar sign ($) character to be sent from
CineLife+ when it has finished processing the message.
• # (Full Acknowledgment)—Causes an echo of the message as a reply to be sent
from CineLife+ when it has finished processing the message.
• & (Checksum)—Allows a checksum to be put as the last parameter in the
message for verification at CineLife+.
Function code The CineLife+ function you want to work with is represented by a three-character
ASCII code (A-Z, upper or lower case). This function code appears immediately after
the leading parenthesis that starts the message. In messages sent to CineLife+ that
do not have a subcode, a space between the function code and the first parameter
(or special character) is optional.
+Subcode The CineLife+ function you want to work with may have one or more subcodes that
allow you to select a specific source, image, channel or subfunction.
The subcode is represented by a four-character ASCII code (A-Z, upper or lower
case, and 0-9). This subcode appears immediately after the function code, with a
plus sign (+) character to separate the function code and subcode. If no subcode
exists, the plus sign (+) is also omitted. In messages sent to CineLife+ that have a
subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character)
is optional.
Request/reply symbols If the controller is requesting information from CineLife+, a question mark (?)
appears directly after the function code. If CineLife+ is replying, an exclamation

Components Description
mark (!) appears directly after the function code. For set messages to CineLife+,
neither of these characters appear—data directly follows the function code and
subcode.
A request for information is represented by a question mark (?) that appears directly
after the function code. A reply is represented by an exclamation mark (!) that
appears directly after the function code or subcode, if one is provided. The first
parameter located after the exclamation mark (!) reply character cannot have a
space, for example (PWR!000).
Data The value for a given CineLife+ state, such as on or off, appears in ASCII-decimal
format directly after the request/reply symbol. You can add an optional space after
the symbol—such as before the data—in a set message, but data in replies follow the
exclamation mark (!) symbol without a space. Other details to remember about
data:
• All values returned by CineLife+ (reply messages) have a fixed length,
regardless of the actual value. For a specific parameter, the length is always the
same (for example, contrast is always returned as three characters, CineLife+
number is always returned as five characters). The minimum parameter size is
three characters. Values less than the predefined size are padded with leading
zeros as needed. Parameters which have negative signs are zero padded after
the negative sign, and have one less digit to make space for the sign.
• Data in set messages to CineLife+ do not require padding with zeros.
• Within each message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one
space character.
• Text parameters such as channel names are enclosed in double quotes following
the data, as in Name.
Text parameters Most data is simply a numerical value; however, some messages also require text.
For example, the time command requires time to be provided in text enclosed in
double quotation mark, as in "19:45:23". Use all characters as required except for
special characters—these require a two-character combination.
Special characters for text
To use special characters in the API commands, you must use a two-character combination.
Special character Two-character
combination
Description
” \” Double quotation mark
\ \\ Backslash
( \( Left parenthesis
) \) Right parenthesis
Line break \n New line—If the text can be displayed on more than one line,
this sets the line break.
Send arbitrary code \h## Sends one arbitrary code defined by the two hexadecimal
digits ##.

Confirming command execution
If you want confirmation from the projector (or group of projectors) that a set message has been
processed, request an acknowledgment by inserting a dollar sign ($) after the start code left
parenthesis.
When the projector executes the command action (for example, as source switch), the projector
returns a dollar sign ($). This quickly confirms success with set messages and is particularly useful
with long-distance communication links or situations where the projectors or images are not visible
from the controller.
Set the active ILS file and return an acknowledgment example:
($ILF "ILS Flat")
$
Acknowledgments can also be a type of flow control.
Requesting an acknowledgment serves no purpose when included in a request message as the
acknowledgment is redundant to the reply from the projector
. However, if requested, the dollar sign ($)
acknowledgment from the projector follows the reply.
Example:
($CHA?)
(CHA! "Media Block Flat")
$
Error messages
If a command cannot be performed, a descriptive error identifying the problem appears.
For example, the following message indicates a syntax error:
(65535 00000 ERR00005 "TMD+TIME: Too Few Parameters")
