Power requirements
The DVD-D9 range are powered
from the serial port RTS line of the
connected DVD player. The maxi-
mum current draw is 6mA.
Switch Inputs
The DVD-D9 switch interface con-
sists of a series of nine double ter-
minal blocks to which any Normally
Open (NO) momentary switch can
be connected.
Contacts may be wired up to 100
metres away from the DVD-D9
without degrading the performance
of the device.
DVD-D9 interface
The DVD-D9 interface connection
is a standard DB9 male as specified
within the V300 player specifica-
tion.
Serial communication protocol is
9600 Baud, 1 Start bit, 8 Data bits, 1
Stop bits, No parity for all control
commands. All I/O is RS232 and
TTL compatible.
DVD control protocol
The DVD-D9 communicates with
the player using the player control
protocol . This protocol takes the
form of ASCII command strings of
format:
[PC,RC,44]\r
\r – Carriage return
These strings allow the PlayC (Play
Chapter), PlayT (Play Title/Track)
or RC (Remote control) commands
to be issued to the player in response
to an external button on the DVD-
D9 being pressed.
See button function tables at the end
of the document.
