0 Preface  
Thank you for purchasing a DVDO iScan VPxx Series video processor. We believe  
the iScan will become a favorite device in your multimedia presentation system due to  
picture quality, ease of use, and the level of control the iScan gives you or your customer  
over the processed signal. This document is intended to cover the supplemental control  
functionality that is available for the iScan VP20, VP30, VP50, and VP50PRO  
.
0.1 Information Warranty Statement  
The information presented within this guide is known to be accurate at the time of  
publication. However, we at Anchor Bay continually strive to improve our products by  
offering new functionality and features which may in some cases require modification of  
or addition to the information contained within this document. As always, one should  
periodically check our website (www.anchorbaytech.com) for updates to our software  
and the support documentation. Anchor Bay (Anchor Bay Technologies, Inc.) or its  
subsidiaries, agents, and/or investors may not be held liable for technical inaccuracies or  
omissions that affect an installed system or device. Responsibility for correct operation  
of the iScan product within the installed system lies with the installing or integration  
party (i.e. a Home Theater Installer or the end-user or “customer”).  
The iScan VPxx video processors are capable of outputting more types of video  
signals than many display devices can support. Typically, the menu based user controls  
have some safety features that prevent most users from executing a command or function  
that would result in a loss of picture or damage to the display device (typically CRTs fall  
into this category), or may overwrite settings without any prompt. Direct access to the  
control system via discrete commands may circumvent these safeties in some cases.  
Careful planning should be used when configuring the iScan within the system to ensure  
that it behaves within the design constraints of the installed system and the capabilities of  
the installed support hardware. If you have just read this and don’t understand what it  
means – PLEASE contact an authorized DVDO product installer for consultation and  
installation help. Not getting a picture from the iScan does not necessarily indicate a  
failure of the iScan device – the display device may not support the selected output  
format, or there may be some other circumstance which would need to be investigated  
and remedied to resume viewing operation of the presentation system.  
If you are having trouble with this document, or the operation of the iScan VPxx  
device, please first refer to the User’s Manual included with your device. If you are still  
not able to resolve your issue, please call our Technical Support Hotline 9AM-5PM  
Pacific Time, at (U.S. Domestic) 1-866-423-3836 extension 333 or (International) 1-  
(408)-395-4455 extension 333. Alternatively you may contact our support group at  
[email protected].

0.2 Document Scope and Limitations  
This document will cover the necessary information required to construct and  
transmit a serial (RS-232) or Infrared (IR) control signal to a DVDO iScan VPxx model  
video processor. These two basic mediums of control, are intended to convey the  
intentions of the user or automation system into the processes that operate the iScan.  
This document will cover the naming conventions, syntax, electrical specifications, and  
some troubleshooting that may be required for implementation in an installed system.  
This document will NOT cover specific automation systems such as Crestron, AMX,  
Control4, Vantage, Elan, Universal Remote, RTI, Xantec, Niles, Russound, etc., or any  
programming within these systems. Correct selection of the automation system is the  
responsibility of the installer, and we do not offer troubleshooting for these systems  
beyond verification of the correct function of our iScan unit, and protocol confirmation.  
This means, if a device is able to communicate with an iScan using another software  
platform (i.e. our firmware update procedure), the unit is deemed to be working correctly  
and the problem exists beginning at the wiring and proceeding into the code within the  
automation platform. In this case, contacting the manufacturer of the automation system  
is required.  
Anchor Bay recommends contacting the automation system manufacturer before  
conducting the installation to see if they have a driver or control module pre-built for our  
products. If not, asking them to start work on one will help you (as an installer or end-  
user) by having their Engineers develop a driver or module that is guaranteed to work  
with their hardware (the more requests they get, the higher a priority it will be for them).  
If they do not have a complete library, they may have many of our control codes already  
in their database. Having this information on-hand will greatly ease the installation of  
our products. If they have any questions, please refer them to our support line, we will be  
glad to work with them.  
0.3 Document Conventions

0.3.2 Product Introduction  
This section is a brief introduction with pictures of each of the models of the iScan  
VPxx series – it is only intended as a brief “spotters guide” to iScan units. Please refer to  
your product’s user’s manual or our website for more in-depth product information at  
www.anchorbaytech.com/products/systems (replacement user’s manuals may be obtained  
in PDF form at the same website by clicking on the “support” tab and selecting  
“documentation”).  
If you are trying to send a command to the iScan and it won’t accept it – make sure  
you possess the model you think you have by using this spotter’s guide, and then double-  
check in the command table in the following chapters, that the command is in fact  
supported for the model you are attempting to use.  
0.3.3 VP20 (MM604)  
iScan VP20 Front  
iScan VP20 Back  
This model is based on our iScan VP30 product, but has one less HDMI input and no  
analog RGBHV input or analog video out (RGBHV or Component). This device is  
commonly found in entry-level systems where input count is not as critical as getting the  
best possible processing with legacy source devices. This device may be further enabled  
with our ABT102 Deinterlacing add-on card for even better processing of interlaced SD  
content.

0.3.4 VP30 (MM603)  
iScan VP30 Front  
iScan VP30 Back  
This model is our high-end entry-level product with the full four HDMI complement,  
the RGBHV/Component 3 input and Analog video output – with available options like an  
SD-SDI input and the ABT102 Deinterlacing add-on card for exceptional reproduction of  
interlaced SD content.  
The VP30 also features more in-depth user controls and greater input flexibility,  
allowing it to be an excellent addition to a high-end home theater system, corporate  
media presentation system, or digital signage applications.  
0.3.5 VP50 (MM605)  
iScan VP50 Front  
iScan VP50 Back  
The iScan VP50, like the VP30, includes a wide selection of inputs and user controls,  
while further adding our Anchor Bay VRS processing for HD content (1080i  
Deinterlacing) and added Gamma adjustment controls.

0.3.6 VP50PRO (MM606)  
iScan VP50PRO Front  
iScan VP50PRO Back  
The iScan VP50PRO is the first Video Processor to achieve the THX certification for  
Video Processors, setting the benchmark for video processing. This device is also the  
first HDMI 1.3 compatible video processor with the same outstanding Anchor Bay VRS  
HD and SD content processing algorithms of the preceding models, while adding even  
further configuration and calibration controls for ISF calibration and the new HD-SDI  
inputs (2x) and 12-volt triggers (2x) for driving external devices like anamorphic lenses  
and screen masking. This makes the iScan VP50PRO the ultimate in configurable and  
controllable high-end video processing – all of which can be harnessed through the same  
automation protocol we have had in the previous models. This makes it easy for systems  
integrators to upgrade from one iScan VPxx model to the newest to keep their customer’s  
systems at the cutting edge.

0.4 How does automation work?  
The iScan line of DVDO brand video processors are designed to enable control and  
flexibility over various input and output signal configurations – as well as our proprietary  
algorithms to improve several aspects of video quality and enable new capabilities that  
legacy devices by themselves are not able to achieve. This product has many features  
(covered in the User’s Manual) which are intended to make day-to-day use of our video  
processing product easier in systems from “simple” up to “complex and fully integrated”  
home-theaters, or “corporate/industrial” applications. It is up to the user or system’s  
integrator to “turn on” or otherwise set up the unit (and select appropriate auxiliary  
hardware) to enable this functionality within a given media presentation system. With  
the exception of some automatic functions which are user selectable (at the time of this  
writing: Input Selections, Deinterlacing Modes, and Output Profiles), the unit must be  
prompted by user action to do a specific function or provide a given signal path.  
This user function can be initiated by an external device, like a Home Automation  
controller, Control Sequencer, or Learning/Macro-Infrared-Remote-Control. These  
execute the “user action” as part of a predefined “routine” or “script”. Home Automation  
controllers, sequencers, or macro-remotes can control many devices at once, making a  
task like switching from one source device to another on three pieces of equipment occur  
with one user input action (this also reduces the amount of remote controls a given  
system has on a table). The iScan can accept either RS-232 based serial automation  
commands, or infrared remote control commands to enable very precise and “intelligent”  
control of the unit’s behavior.  
0.4.1 Interface Compatibility  
Our devices have been designed to work with industry standardized control systems  
based on either “EIA232”-“RS-232C” asynchronous bidirectional serial character data  
transfers, or NEC or ABT-proprietary based Infra-Red (IR) one-way serial character data  
transfers operating at a 38.38kHz carrier frequency. The control sets for both methods  
are based on the same command IDs and control values for the sake of simplicity and  
ease of overall protocol mastery.  
0.4.2 How is data encoded in digital form?  
Digital electronics are very good with math and numbers – but they do not know how  
to “think” or talk in human-readable sentences. Because of this, programmers have  
created a “look-up-table” of standard characters which humans understand, and  
numerical equivalents for those characters which the device understands. There are  
several different ways to place characters in a table, and many different geographic  
locations which have special characters that need to be encoded. For the sake of  
standardization and compatibility, we have selected the UTF-8 standard which is  
backwards compatible with the ASCII standard of encoding characters to a numeric table  
(ASCII only uses 8-bit values between 0 and 127 - the specifics of these two standards  
are not covered, as numerous references for these are available at public libraries or the  
internet).

0.4.3 What is Binary?  
The digital world is all ones and zeros. By placing ones and zeros in a standardized  
pattern we can encode data that can be exchanged between multiple devices. The lowest  
level of encoding data is “binary notation”. In this notation, a “bit” represents the “true”  
or “false” presence of the numeric value at that bit location. Therefore, if the bit  
representing a “4” was “true”, one would add the “4” to the total of the “byte” (the total  
size of the number). For our systems and the character-set we are using, we have an “8-  
bit” byte (meaning there are 8 value “places” representing numbers that are added to each  
other to generate the final number which the “byte” represents).  
There are two ways to notate and send binary data – LSB and MSB. These stand for  
“Least Significant Bit” and “Most Significant Bit” respectively, and these labels refer to  
which bit in a given byte is sent first (basically this means that data can be notated left to-  
right or right-to-left – and the data can be sent with the largest value first, or the smallest  
value first). In this document, we will use the standard of notating MSB 8-bit bytes for  
sentence (string) construction (largest-to-smallest, left-to-right), and LSB for the  
communication scheme (RS-232/IR standards).  
As an example, the decimal (“0-9”, “10-19”, etc.) notation number of “65” is:  
Bit 7  
Bit 6  
Bit 5  
Value = 32  
0
Bit 4  
Bit 3  
Bit 2  
Bit 1  
Bit 0  
Value = 128 Value = 64  
Value = 16 Value = 8 Value = 4 Value = 2 Value = 1  
0
1
0
0
0
0
1
If you add: 64 + 1, you get “65”. This is the basis for all future dialog within this guide.  
0.4.4 What is HEX?  
So you’re probably saying “It’s going to take me forever to figure out how to send  
Binary data from a PC to an iScan,” or “Boy, do I have to learn binary notation to use the  
iScan Automation Protocol?” Well the short answer is “no”, you will want this basic  
ground-work to understand that electronic devices communicate this way – but there is a  
short-hand for Binary which you will need to learn. It reduces the characters you have to  
type by ¼ (thus you would type only two characters instead of eight to represent an “8-bit  
byte”). This is the HEX Notation. HEX is a different “base” number set – where  
“binary” has two possibilities for each character (0 and 1), the very familiar “Decimal”  
has ten possibilities (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), and “Hexadecimal” (or “HEX” for short)  
has 16 possibilities (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A(10), B(11), C(12), D(13), E(14), F(15)).  
This “shorthand” was selected since decimal doesn’t easily calculate into binary (where  
each additional bit is a multiplier of two of the previous bit). With HEX, each character  
represents a “nybble” of a byte (or four bits). Each “byte” is split into two “nybbles” (a  
high nybble and a low nybble), so that a byte can be conveyed using the same MSB  
notation with fewer characters to mean the same thing, in a terminal application which  
accepts HEX.

As an example, using “65” again – the HEX equivalent is “41h”. So what’s the “h” at  
the end? There are two commonly accepted ways to identify HEX notation in a sentence  
(or “string”). One is with the use of a “0x00” notation, where the two last zeros represent  
the two HEX characters, or with “00h” showing that this is a two nybble-byte in HEX  
notation. This can get confusing the more you learn – so take a moment to highlight this  
section or put a Post-It flag on this page for future reference.  
0.4.5 What is ASCII?  
Okay, we started this digital primer with the idea that we wanted to send our data  
from one place to another in a way that the machines could understand. But now what  
happens if we (humans) want to read it? Well back to the ASCII Look-Up-Table concept  
that we brushed on at the beginning. If you remember, we replaced a human-readable  
character with a number so that the machine can understand it. We use the reverse of that  
table replacement to “extract” the data that was transferred from one device to another.  
Recall that binary, decimal, and HEX - all represent different ways to write numbers.  
ASCII characters represent the Human-readable equivalent of that given number. For  
example, again using decimal number “65” (binary number: “00100001”, HEX number  
“0x41” or “41h”) – the ASCII table equivalent is a capital “A”. All four of these  
numbers mean exactly the same thing to a machine using an ASCII table – capital “A”.  
A simple ASCII to HEX conversion table is provided at the end of this document in  
Appendix A.

0.5 A brief dialog about remote controlling a VPxx  
series video processor  
Please be honest with yourself and ensure that you have understood the previous  
sections. If you’re not confident about how binary = HEX = decimal and relates to  
ASCII, then you may want to check out the internet for more information on digital  
information technology – or contact our Technical Support Hotline at (U.S. Domestic) 1-  
866-423-3836 extension 333, or (International) 1-408-395-4455 extension 333.  
Alternatively you may contact our support by email group at [email protected].  
• The first thing this writer suggests when learning the following automation protocol –  
is to realize that this is a machine talking to another machine – not a human talking to  
another human. The automation protocol is written for maximum efficiency, clarity,  
and robustness of communication between two machines - all while allowing for  
future expansion without requiring us to re-write the protocol every time new  
features/products come out (thus commands that work in the new version of software  
should work in just about every other previous version/product – which has the exact  
same functional control).  
• The second thing this writer suggests is learning and understanding the HEX notation  
– and how to convert decimal numbers and basic ASCII characters (0-9 and A-Z  
capitals) into HEX notation. The serial interface works in bytes, and understands  
numbers – so the closer you can get to understanding this type of communication –  
the easier this will be for you.

0.6 A dialog about input video memories  
Due to the number of inputs and different types of input formats and ever further  
numerous types of source devices, we at Anchor Bay added input memories, which allow  
the user/system-integrator to configure very specific “effects” for a specific input format  
on a specific input connection. This means that a single input can have many different  
settings within the same control – just based on the input format that it is receiving.  
As an example, at the time of this writing, for HDMI on the VP50PRO we support:  
VGA  
720p-50Hz  
SVGA  
720p-60Hz  
XGA  
1080i-50Hz  
SXGA  
1080i-60Hz  
576i-50Hz  
576p-50Hz  
480i-60Hz  
480p-60Hz  
1080p-23.98/24Hz  
1080p-25Hz  
1080p-50Hz  
1080p-59.97/60Hz  
Each format has its own memory, with individual picture controls, aspect ratios and  
zooms/pans, processing modes, etc. This can easily make the job of setting up an iScan  
very involved, as we offer an incredible amount of control over just about every aspect of  
the processed signal. We have put in functions to our automation protocol which allow  
an automation controller full access to these parameters – so care must be taken to avoid  
errors.  
Keep in mind that not all inputs support all input types – for example, Composite and  
S-Video inputs are limited to 480i-60Hz or 576i-50Hz based on the source and the region  
the iScan is used in.

1 RS-232 Control  
1.1 The RS-232 Physical Connection  
RS-232 connections come in several styles which are accepted in the consumer  
electronics industry. The most common is the 9-pin D-Subminiature connector found on  
the back of most computers, and is the one that we use on the iScan VPxx products.  
The female serial port, found on the back panel of an iScan VPxx video processor.  
In this interface, there are a few different signals which must be supported. These are  
(all pin numbers are for the iScan):  
RX – Data Receive (pin 3)  
TX – Data Transmit (pin 2)  
RTS – Request To Send (pin 8)  
CTS – Clear To Send (pin 7)  
GND – Signal Ground (pin 5)  
We do not use the “DSR – Data Set Ready”, “DTR – Data Terminal Ready”, “CD -  
Carrier Detect” or “RI – Ring Indicator” pins for the iScan VPxx series.  
These signals are associated with specific pin numbers based on what type of device  
the serial port is attached to. There are two types of serial device Data-Terminal-  
Equipment (DTE) and Data-Communications-Equipment (DCE). A DTE is your  
computer or an automation system – basically a controlling device. A DCE is a modem,  
or in this case the iScan. Some manufacturers chose to wire their RS-232 port as a DTE,  
but we have elected to wire our unit as a DCE. This determines a critical difference in  
the serial cable wiring to get the unit to communicate with the automation controller or  
PC. If your automation controller is based on a PC, the serial port is likely to be wired as  
a DTE port (please check with your automation controller vendor for clarification). This  
allows the use of a very common straight-through “extension” cable to be used to  
complete the communication connection (like the type which is shipped with the iScan  
unit).  
When a dissimilar port type is used in a serial connection (for example DTE-to-DCE  
or vise versa), a straight-through cable is usually all that is needed. However, when  
similar port types are used, a cross-over cable is required (for example DCE-to-DCE or  
DTE-to DTE). Please double check the type of connection that you are using before  
connecting the cable.

1.1.1 The Anchor Bay RS-232 Protocol  
In this portion of the document, we will discus the three types of control  
communications that occur between the iScan and the controlling device.  
1.1.2 A Dialog on Checksums  
Checksums are a way for a receiving device to double check the communication that  
occurred between the transmitting device and the receiver. In most systems, Checksums  
are not needed – however some installations absolutely require them (for example:  
industrial control or corporate teleconference systems). If you don’t already know what a  
checksum is - you probably will not need it for your application. The system will work  
fine in 99.999% of systems without the use of checksums. If you need to use a checksum  
due to customer/job requirements, the calculation and checking calculations are provided  
in the following sections.  
1.2 Control Commands  
The “Control Command” is probably why you are reading this document right now.  
This is a sequence of data which tells the iScan to do something. Until the controller or  
PC sends an instruction to do something, the iScan will happily do its primary job –  
processing video.  
This writer believes that the easiest way to understand what is occurring is to think of a  
“serial command” as a public address announcement you might hear in an airport:  
“May I have your attention please, John Doe, please pickup the white courtesy phone  
and press 0. Thank you.”  
Essentially the same thing is done with an automation control sentence (or string):  
“Attention this is a command which is this long and the command controls this  
function >>pause<< this is the value I want to set >>pause<< [checksum – optional]  
I’m done talking”  
Hopefully this looks easy. However please remember, electronics don’t speak in  
fancy human readable sentences, they speak in numbers. This is where human-readable  
ASCII character look-up-tables and HEX notation come into play, and a lot of confusion  
can too. Now in the ASCII table there are some basic “characters” which represent some  
of the bold words above:  
“Attention” = Start Text or STX in ASCII  
>>pause<< = Null or NUL in ASCII  
“I’m Done Talking” = End Text or ETX in ASCII  
Every ASCII character is a single “byte” (one 8-bit number each) which has been  
specified to mean what is shown above. Now remember that the ASCII table is meant to  
convert numbers to human readable characters and vise versa.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Also, each of the above “characters” has a related HEX notation number to go with it:  
“Attention” = Start Text or STX = 0x02 in HEX notation  
>>pause<< = Null or NUL = 0x00 in HEX notation  
“I’m Done Talking” = End Text or ETX = 0x03 in HEX notation  
It is up to the individual programmer to determine which method is easiest to  
understand – but if you haven’t chosen your programming style yet, this writer  
recommends sticking with HEX notation. One thing that should be avoided at all costs is  
mixing HEX notation with ASCII characters – as you may see in the next set of  
examples, mixing numbers and ASCII will get you very confused very fast (You’re not a  
computer, so you can’t be expected to keep track of it all). This document will be written  
from here to the end slanted to illustrate HEX notation, as it demands the use of “bytes”  
and is easiest for new-comers to get used to recognizing characters which need to be  
converted from human readable text characters to machine readable numbers.  
Let’s take another look at that sentence:  
“Attention this is a command which is this long and the command controls this  
function >>pause<< this is the value I want to set >>pause<< [checksum – optional]  
I’m done talking”  
Now let’s replace the words we know with the HEX notation equivalents:  
“0x02 this is a command which is this long and the command controls this  
function 0x00 this is the value I want to set 0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03”  
We at Anchor Bay have specified the byte value for the “is a command” text’s  
replacement as a portion of our protocol specification. We have defined a command as  
two ASCII characters of “3” and “0”. In HEX notation this comes out to two bytes: 0x33  
and 0x30 (these must be in this order!). Note that the “is a command” is represented by  
these two bytes (each 8-bits, or two nybbles).  
Let’s look at the sentence again, replacing what we know:  
“0x02 0x33 0x30 which is this long and the command controls this function  
0x00 this is the value I want to set 0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03”  
This gives us enough to have a “wrapper” for all RS-232 control commands:  
0x02 0x33 0x30 [length byte 1] [length byte 2] [Command ID byte 1] [Command ID  
byte 2] 0x00 [Value x-Bytes] 0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03

Before we start listing Command ID bytes, lets look at the “this long” portion of our  
sentence. For this, count the two command ID bytes (count the bytes, don’t add the  
values!), add the count of the two NUL bytes (again, don’t add the values), add the count  
of the value bytes (this really should sink in now - don’t add the values themselves). This  
equals the “byte-count” for the command sentence (string) – we are always counting  
bytes. Below is an example of the bytes we want to count:  
Byte 1  
Byte 2  
Byte 3  
NUL  
Byte 4  
Value Byte n  
Byte 5  
NUL  
Command ID 1 Command ID 2  
HELPER-RULE: There will always be two command ID bytes and two  
NUL bytes – and there should always be at least one value byte for a  
command. This means that you should never have a byte count below “5”  
for a command. You must also always use two bytes to convey the byte-  
count value; so an example would be “05” or 0x30 0x35.  
For now let’s look at the most simple control of the iScan product – turning its power  
“on”. The Command ID for the power control (“controls this function”) is “A” and “1”  
– hey, if you were reading this from the beginning you’ll recognize capital “A” as HEX  
0x41. The people who wrote the ASCII Look-Up-Tables were nice enough to realize that  
humans would occasionally use the table – so they lined up decimal numbers to the 0x30  
HEX range (i.e. 0=0x30, 1=0x31, 2=0x32, etc.). This means that the “1” we need is  
0x31.  
So the command ID bytes for the power control are (in HEX) 0x41 0x31.  
Let’s look at the sentence again, replacing what we know now:  
“0x02 0x33 0x30 which is this long 0x41 0x31 0x00 this is the value I want to set  
0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03”  
Now let’s look at the value we want to set this to – in the table in Section 3 you will  
see the commands and the values that are possible. Looking up Power, we see that the  
values for OFF and ON are “0” and “1” respectively. We already know how to convert  
the “1” to HEX notation and since we do want to turn the unit “on”, this is the value  
we’re going to use. “The value” = 0x31.  
Let’s look at the sentence again, replacing what we know:  
“0x02 0x33 0x30 which is this long 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x31 0x00 [checksum –  
optional] 0x03”  
If you’ve read this far and understand what’s happening - Great! Now the only things  
we are missing are the Checksum and the length-count bytes. Since the checksum must  
be the last thing we calculate, we’ll do the length first: Two bytes for command ID + one  
byte for NUL + one byte for value + one byte for NUL = 5 bytes or “05”. Converting the  
count to HEX notation we get 0x30 and 0x35.

Let’s look at the sentence again, replacing what we know now:  
“0x02 0x33 0x30 0x30 0x35 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x31 0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03”  
If you recall, unless your application calls for it specifically – YOU DO NOT NEED  
A CHECKSUM!!! If your application doesn’t need it, you are done with the sentence  
construction (just remove the optional placeholder for the “checksum - optional”):  
Let’s look at the sentence again, with out the optional checksum placeholder:  
“0x02 0x33 0x30 0x30 0x35 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x31 0x00 0x03”  
Now there is one more detail which you will need to figure out about your automation  
system: “How or does it accept HEX notation?” Some systems are smart enough to  
recognize the “0x” as a prefix for a HEX notation number. Others are not. This writer is  
aware of an example application called “RS232 Hex Com Tool” which does not  
recognize the “0x” as a prefix. This means that the operator/user/programmer must  
determine how to enter the data correctly – due to the broad spectrum of programming  
styles across all of the varied automation systems this is not covered in this guide nor is it  
the responsibility of Anchor Bay to tell you (the reader). Contact your automation  
system vendor for clarification on data entry to their system.  
As it happens, in the above examples, the byte itself was highlighted with BOLD  
typeface to bring attention to the actual value for the byte. This highlighted data is also  
what that particular application expects, with a [space] or [comma] to separate the bytes.  
Thus the same “power-on” command would be:  
02 33 30 30 35 41 31 00 31 00 03 for “power-on” with no checksum  
If you are unsure if the automation computer or other machine is working with the  
serial cable, the “RS232 Hex Com Tool” program is available for download (shareware –  
free trial for 30 days, purchase for a small fee) on the web at: http://www.rs232pro.com/.  
Anchor Bay does not warrant the function of this utility or endorse its purchase – this is  
simply a reference to one of many options available for testing. The open-source Tera  
Term Pro utility used for upgrading iScan VPxx products is also capable of sending HEX  
or ASCII strings with some minor programming – but we do not support this use of the  
program and attempts to use Tera Term Pro as an automation controller should only be  
taken on by experienced programmers with some basic coding/programming background.

The checksum. This is the last part other than the Command ID Table and Value  
Table you might need to create a command string. Again, unless your customer/job  
requirements demand/specify it – YOU DO NOT NEED A CHECKSUM!! Assuming  
that you absolutely need to have a checksum due to a customer/job requirement, the  
checksum is fairly easy - add the value of every byte from the beginning of the string (at  
STX) to the last “NUL” just before the ETX (0x03). For the “Power On” command, this  
would be: 02 33 30 30 35 41 31 00 31 00  
So you would add: 0x02 + 0x33 + 0x30 + 0x30 + 0x35 + 0x41 + 0x31 + 0x00 + 0x31  
+0x00 = 0x16D  
HINT: You can use the scientific calculator in Windows to figure this out in HEX.  
Now we only deal with 8-bit values for bytes – and you can see (if you recall the  
discussion about nybbles and bytes) that the checksum value is three hex characters or  
three “nybbles”. This means the result is a 12-bit value. How we take care of this is very  
easy – drop (truncate) the nybbles above the two lowest nybbles. If you do this to the  
0x16D value you get 0x6D. If you are writing a software program – an easy way to do  
this is to “AND” the checksum value with 0xFF in HEX or “255” in decimal.  
If you’ve really been paying attention you’ll remember that the checksum is two  
bytes – we made it easy to figure out these two by simply taking the 6 and the D (which  
are part of a HEX notation number from our calculation) and using them as ASCII stand-  
ins. So assume these two characters are ASCII and convert them down to HEX (“6”  
becomes 0x36, “D” becomes 0x44). This is a form of data expansion – and is intended to  
reduce the possible valid bit patterns which can be expected at these two byte locations to  
16 possibilities.  
For a last look at turning on the power for the iScan, let’s look at the whole string  
including the checksum (underlined):  
0x02 0x33 0x30 0x30 0x35 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x31 0x00 0x36 0x44 0x03  
That is all there is to Command Packets. If you are still unclear on how this is  
supposed to work, or you believe you are doing this correctly, but still have no success  
controlling the iScan, please contact our Technical Support group.

1.3 Query Commands  
Query commands allow an external device to determine the setting of a given control.  
Building on the information presented in the previous section on constructing Command  
Packets, we will discuss the method for building a Query Packet. We’ll use the example  
of querying the “power” state of the unit (Command ID A1 used in the previous section).  
Again, using the example of a sentence, the dialog would be:  
“Attention this is a query which is this long and I want to know the setting of this  
function >>pause<< [checksum – optional] I’m done talking”  
There are some fairly obvious similarities which can be seen between Commands and  
Queries. These values are still the same for queries as they are based on ASCII look-up  
equivalents:  
“Attention” = Start Text or STX = 0x02 in HEX notation  
>>pause<< = Null or NUL = 0x00 in HEX notation  
“I’m Done Talking” = End Text or ETX = 0x03 in HEX notation  
If you recall that the “is a command” bytes are 3 and 0, we have defined “is a query”  
bytes as 2 and 0 – or 0x32 and 0x30 in HEX notation. So, looking at the sentence and  
replacing what we know, we would get:  
“0x02 0x32 0x30 which is this long and I want to know the setting of this function 0x00  
[checksum – optional] 0x03”  
To query “power”, we use the same command ID found in Section 3, which we used to  
set the state – “A” and “1”, or 0x41 and 0x31. Again looking at the sentence and  
replacing what we know, we would get:  
“0x02 0x32 0x30 which is this long 0x41 0x31 0x00 [checksum – optional] 0x03”  
We would then calculate the length (which in this type of packet is always “3” or  
0x30 and 0x33 since it must be two bytes). With this value, and if you do not need a  
checksum the final packet would be:  
“0x02 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x33 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x03”  
To calculate the checksum, we take all of the values and add them up, then truncate  
the result to an 8-bit number (two nybbles):  
0x02 + 0x32 + 0x30 + 0x30 + 0x33 + 0x41 + 0x31 + 0x00 = 0x139  
If you truncate the result by only keeping the right most two “nybbles” and you  
should get 0x39 – remember these two nybbles are then assumed to be ASCII stand-in  
which must be converted to HEX notation (for data expansion). The two bytes for the  
checksum would be 0x33 and 0x39 so that your final query packet with checksum would  
be:  
“0x02 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x33 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x33 0x39 0x03”

1.4 Responses  
Responses (aka “feedback”) is arguably what really make RS-232 a powerful  
interface. As opposed to infrared control, the RS-232 port allows for bi-directional  
communication, so that the controlling device can get information from the controlled  
unit to make decisions based on the actual state of the unit. Response packets are about  
the same as Command or Query packets – with some minor differences is the data they  
contain.  
First, there are only three types of response the iScan can give (and remember that the  
iScan will not just start transmitting data without first being “asked” to do something).  
•
•
•
Acknowledge – This means the control you just sent was accepted and valid  
Query Response – the value for the control you would have just asked about  
Error Response – Something went wrong, this packet you what  
Just like “Commands” and “Queries” have two bytes signifying those  
communications, these response packets each have their own:  
•
•
•
•
•
Command = “3” and “0” or 0x33 and 0x30 in HEX notation  
Query = “2” and “0” or 0x32 and 0x30 in HEX notation  
Acknowledge Response = “0” and “1” or 0x30 and 0x31 in HEX notation  
Query Response = “2” and “1” or 0x32 and 0x31 in HEX notation  
Error Response = “0” and “2” or 0x30 and 0x32 in HEX notation  
For acknowledge, you will only ever see one packet:  
“Attention this is an acknowledge which is this long the data was accepted >>pause<<  
the packet was a command >>pause<< [checksum – always included in replies] I’m  
done talking”  
We won’t spend a great deal of time on the “acknowledge” except replacing the  
known items above with the values:  
“0x02 0x30 0x31 0x30 0x35 0x31 0x00 0x33 0x30 0x00 0x35 0x43 0x03”  
Since you will only ever get an “Acknowledge” packet for a “command”, this is the  
only variant you should ever expect (using these exact above values). However should  
something go wrong, you will get an error reply:  
“Attention this is an Error which is this long this is the Error >>pause<< [checksum –  
always included in replies] I’m done talking”  
Replacing the items which should be starting to get familiar, we get:  
“0x02 0x30 0x32 [count byte 1 0x30] [count byte 2 – either 0x32 or 0x33] [error byte n  
(there may be up to two bytes based on the error)] 0x00 [checksum – always included in  
replies] 0x03”  
The values you may get in an error reply are on the next page.  
24  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Error “1” – Invalid checksum. This error means either the checksum you sent was  
wrong or the transmission was bad due to interference (double check your  
checksum calculation or your serial link).  
Error “2” – Invalid Incoming Packet ID (i.e. Command = “3”&”0”, Query = “2”&“0”,  
others are invalid when sent to the iScan)  
Error “3” – Invalid Setting (i.e. Power = “A”&”1”) if you get this error, make sure that  
the command is supported by the model you are using.  
Error “4” – Range Error (i.e. Power on = “1”, power off = “0”) if you get this error you  
tried to set a value to the control which is either out of range or not  
supported.  
Error “5” – Bad Packet Character (i.e. STX, ETX, NUL) a valid ASCII character value  
may have been used in the wrong place – double check your syntax.  
Otherwise, ensure that only numbers, or punctuation (“.”, “+”, or “-“) was  
used.  
Error “6” – Last byte of packet was not received within 100 milliseconds – if this  
happens, first make sure that the link is good. Then, ensure that your control  
device is waiting for a complete response packet before sending another  
packet. If your controller does not “listen” to the flow control pins  
(DSR/DTR look at section 2.1) the buffer may over-flow causing bytes to be  
lost. If no RS-232 return path is being used, pace your commands to about  
10 commands every second.  
Error “7” – Unterminated Data Value. This means you missed a “NUL” after a value  
and went straight to the “ETX” – check your syntax.  
Error “8” – Bad Data – If you get this response, first check your serial link, then check  
the table in Section 3 to ensure you sent the right type of value. If you send  
a “5E” for a control expecting a number like “1.453”, you will get this type  
of error response.  
Error “9” – Too many or too few data characters. This error appears if your packet has  
the wrong byte counts value, or you don’t have all of the data in the string.  
Error “10” – The setting is not writable (i.e. command for “Device Name”), this will be  
your response if you attempt to write to a query only Command ID  
Error “11” – The packet is larger than the maximum packet size. You should never see  
this error – we do not have any controls which are at the time of this writing  
even close to the maximum size. If this error comes back – check your  
serial link and syntax. If you are transmitting more that 50 bytes in a single  
command you are probably doing something wrong!!

The query response is the most involved response packet you will get in reply. This  
packet can have any data in the “value” bytes (although it will still be ASCII characters in  
HEX notation). Note that commands like “Model Name” will reply with text, while  
commands which are controlled by numbers will reply with numbers.  
The response to a query for power state (if the unit is “on”) would be:  
0x02 0x32 0x31 0x30 0x35 0x41 0x31 0x00 0x31 0x00 0x36 0x44 0x03  
Working in reverse of building a packet (assuming you read the previous sections),  
you should be starting to see patterns:  
0x02 = STX, 0x32 = “2”, 0x31 = “1”, 0x30 = “0”, 0x35 = “5”, 0x41 = “A”, 0x31 = “1”,  
0x00 = NUL, 0x31 = “1”, 0x00 = NUL, 0x36 = “6”, 0x44 = “D”, 0x03 = ETX  
From this you can see:  
• The STX which means “Attention”.  
• The “2” and “1” which identifies the packet as a query response type.  
• A “0” and “5” which shows that the byte count is 5 bytes long.  
• An “A” “1” for the command ID which decodes to “Power” in Section 3  
• A NUL before the value of the command  
• A “1” showing the state to be “On” as decoded in Section 3  
• A NUL after the value of the command  
• A checksum of “6D” which if we check the math;  
0x02 + 0x32 + 0x31 + 0x30 + 0x35 + 0x41 + 0x31 + 0x00 + 0x31 + 0x00 = 16D  
and if we truncate the value to only two “nybbles” (or two hex characters) we get  
6D which matches the checksum value – showing the checksum and packet is  
good.  
• An ETX which means “I’m done talking”

2 IR Control  
We have provided a reprint of Barry Gordon’s paper on IR interfacing in Appendix B at the end of  
this document. If you feel the information provided in the next few sections is a bit confusing, please take  
a moment to read that document.  
2.1 The NEC IR Protocol (Factory Remote)  
In this section, we will provide the basic values needed for building a Pronto HEX compatible iScan  
factory remote control code. The factory remote strictly adheres to the NEC IR protocol, while the discrete  
commands are often too long (more than one byte) or too numerous to fit within one “device code” under  
the NEC protocol. For discrete commands, please see the next section. Below we give you the basic items  
required to replicate the factory remote buttons. If you are not familiar with the NEC IR protocol, please  
take the time to read the article in Appendix B by Barry Gordon on Pronto HEX and NEC IR protocols. :  
Carrier Frequency =  
Device ID Code =  
38.38kHz  
0x2084

2.2 The Anchor Bay IR Protocol (Discrete Control)  
As stated before, the discrete controls may be longer than the NEC protocol will allow. The NEC  
protocol only allows for one byte of “control/value” data to be transferred from the remote control to the  
controlled device. The Pronto HEX format does not have specific length limits, and since it is a common  
interchange format and is fairly easy to use – we have constructed a discrete control command system  
based on the RS-232 Command IDs and Values, which may be programmed into an advanced learning  
macro remote control which can interpret the Pronto HEX structure.  
Note: Not all learning remotes are made equal! Some are limited to NEC compliant codes only and are  
incompatible with the discrete functions provided in this section. Check with your installer or remote  
reseller to find out if your learning remote is NEC compliant only. Also, your remote must be able to  
understand and transmit 38.38kHz IR signals – not every remote or IR repeater system can do this,  
again double check with your vendor.  
The basic sequence for building a discrete code is very simple:  
•
•
Decide which Command you wish to control and find the “command ID” for that control  
Decide what you would like to set the control to and look-up (if necessary) the appropriate value  
for that setting on that control  
•
•
Build the IR command using the below methodology  
Test the IR command before leaving the job-site or publishing the codes publicly  
The method for building a code is very similar to what you may have already read (in the previous  
sections) – if you have not read section 2.1, this is a good time to go back and read it before we really  
confuse you. Assuming that you have read and understood the 2.1 section information, here are some fixed  
values which you will want to know for discrete Anchor Bay commands (Note: if you “learn” a discrete  
function from one remote to another you may get slightly different values – but these may not work  
reliably):  
Pronto HEX Carrier Frequency of 38.38kHz =  
Pronto HEX Start bit pulse width =  
Pronto HEX Logic “1” bit pulse width =  
Pronto HEX Logic “0” bit pulse width =  
Pronto HEX Stop bit Pulse width =  
006C  
0064 0064  
0016 0041  
0016 0015  
0044 0044  
0016 0001  
End of defined command string “bit” =  
The format for data which must be adhered to is:  
0000  
006C  
Always “zero” to mark the beginning of the code header  
Carrier Frequency of 38.38kHz  
nnnn  
0000  
0064 0064  
Number of “bit bursts” in the transmission  
Always “zero” to mark the end of the code header  
Start “bit” (beginning of command transmission)  
nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn 8-bit Command ID  
nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn 8-bit Value byte 1  
……………  
nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn 8-bit Value byte n  
nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn nnnn 8-bit Checksum  
0044 0044  
0016 0001  
Stop “bit” (end of command transmission)  
End of defined command string “bit”  
Remember that the bit order we discuss when readin the numbers is MSB – yet when it is written in Pronto  
HEX, because the IR transmitter sends out the LSB first, the bits must be flipped from left to right. Let’s  
try this with a discrete power “off” command starting on the next page.

If you recall from the RS-232 section, the command ID for the power control is “A” and “1”, but if you  
look at the Pronto HEX format, the command ID can only be one byte. This is why we made the  
Command IDs out of “HEX compatible” naming – so that the same data when represented as a byte will  
look very familiar. Thus the HEX byte for controlling power via IR is 0xA1.  
If you were to open the calculator program in Windows, and enter this number by selection the “Hex” radio  
button in scientific view mode – then by clicking the “Bin” radio button the calculator will automatically  
convert it from HEX to binary for you:  
You get the result of: 1010 0001 as the binary number for A1.  
Remember that you must fip the number left-to-right for IR to work correctly, so you would get: 1000 0101  
Since we want to turn this control “off”, we look up the value for off and find that it is “0” or 0x30 in HEX.  
Since this value is only a byte – it is the only “value” byte we need to transmit. By using the Windows  
calculator, we can convert this to binary: 0011 0000 – then flip it from MSB-to-LSB: 0000 1100  
So we have two of the three parts needed to make a control command – the third and last byte to transmit in  
this case is the checksum. The checksum is easier in IR than it is in RS-232, one simply adds the command  
ID byte value and the setting value(s). For power off, this is 0xA1 + 0x30 = 0xD1. We can again use  
Calculator to convert the HEX value to binary: 1101 0001 then flip it from MSB-to-LSB: 1000 1011  
Now we have the IR command in binary (we’ll show the command parts for reference):  
0000  
006C  
nnnn  
0000  
Always “zero” to mark the beginning of the code header  
Carrier Frequency of 38.38kHz  
Number of “bit bursts” in the transmission  
Always “zero” to mark the end of the code header  
0064 0064  
Start “bit” (beginning of command transmission)  
1000 0101  
0000 1100  
1000 1011  
8-bit Command ID of 0xA1  
8-bit Value byte 1 of 0x30  
8-bit Checksum of 0xD1  
0044 0044  
0016 0001  
Stop “bit” (end of command transmission)  
End of defined command string “bit”

This writer finds this to be the best step to explain the “bit burst” count in the Pronto HEX format. The  
bit burst is every “bit” from the after last “0000” in the header to the last “bit” in the command defenition.  
The bits being referred to are in bold and larger above. There is one start bit, 8 command ID bits, 8 value  
bits, 8 checksum bits, one stop bit, and an end of string bit. The bit count is then: 1 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 1 + 1 =  
27. In the Pronto HEX format this number must be conveyed in a 16-bit HEX notation. You can again use  
the Windows calculator to convert this from decimal to HEX: 0x001B.  
We’re almost done with this except that in Pronto HEX, every bit must be represented by a “burst pair”  
(on-time and off-time). Since we’ve previously defined what these values are for Logic “1” and Logic “2”,  
all you need to do now is replace “1”s and “0”s with the appropriate predefined burst pair.  
Pronto HEX Logic “1” bit pulse width =  
Pronto HEX Logic “0” bit pulse width =

Stop “bit” (end of command transmission)

Remember that the Pronto HEX string must not have the above descriptive text, extra [ENTER]s, or other  
formatting characters. The final CCF command you should end up with is:

We have provided for your reference some of the most common IR commands we have had requested,  
beginning in the next section. Since we are constantly adding features and new automation commands – it  
will be faster if you learn how to construct these commands yourself, rahter than waiting for enough people  
to request codes to be built for you. Of course, if you are having trouble, with this and need a code for an  
installation imediately, please do not hesitate to call our Technical Support team.

3 Automation Command IDs and Values  
This section beginning on the next page, contains the entire list of Control/Query  
commands available with the iScan VPxx line of video processors. The two character  
Command ID is in bold-underline (example: A1 for “Power”). The possible values are  
given for each control in bold (example: 1.000). We have presented the list in the same  
layout as the OSD starting on the next page, to allow for quick location of the control you  
are seeking.  
Some commands are not supported with certain models, the models which are supported  
for a given command or value will be identified with an icon:  
. If no icon is shown for a value, the icon for the command is correct for the value  
as well.  
or

these are:  
Power – A1

Appendix B.  
Infrared Control White Paper by Barry Gordon  
Note: This article in Sections 2.1 through 2.5 is reprinted with permission from  
Barry Gordon. The original article was printed circa 1998, although the information it  
contains is still very pertinent. We wish to thank Barry for allowing us to reprint the

article.  
Infrared Signaling and how it works  
Acknowledgments: This document could not have been possible for me to write  
without the assistance of a lot of people who contributed their time and effort to helping  
me understand the various parts of the ProntoEdit IR display format. I would like to  
thank; AHP (A Helpful Person), Jack Schultz, Manu Duarte, Timm, CDecker, and others.  
Please pardon my use of the BBS handles, but in many cases that is the only way I know  
them.  
Warning: This document will give the reader enough information to develop and  
hand enter IR codes rather than learning them from a remote. That is not the intent of the  
document, merely a byproduct of the knowledge you can gain. Many devices controlled  
by IR remotes, in Particular TV’s, have undocumented IR code sequences used for  
servicing the equipment by factory trained technicians in possession of detailed service  
manuals and test equipment. By causing a service code to be sent to your TV or other  
device, you may place it in a state where it no longer operates as desired, or at all. An  
example of this might be the resetting of all convergence offsets, or altering the width or  
height of the picture. Be careful, if you are not sure of what the outcome might be,  
perhaps you should not do it.  
IR remotes operate by modulating (turning on and off) an infra red (IR) light  
source. When the IR light source (the IR emitter) is "on" it is actually turning itself on  
and off thousands of times per second, too fast for the human eye to follow. The rate at  
which this occurs is called the carrier frequency. The terminology comes from the  
metaphor that the "carrier" carries the "information". This is done to provide a better  
transmission system and allow the overall IR system (transmitter and receiver) to operate  
in noisy (with respect to light) environments. It is important to understand that the IR  
receiver for a given remote is tuned to IR "carrier" frequency for that remote and will  
effectively not see IR signals sent on a different carrier frequency such as from other  
remotes. [Note: The human eye can never see an infrared transmission, so the concept of  
on and off is not with regards to visible light. Some equipment has a "telltale", a little red  
light that visibly flashes when the equipment receives IR signals. That is what we can  
see]  
The "information" is placed on the "carrier" using several different techniques.  
The most common technique is Pulse Width Modulation. In Pulse Width Modulation the  
duration of the ON (carrier present, light flashing thousands of times per second), or Off  
(no light at all coming out of the IR emitter) periods is made to vary. Lets assume,  
because this is what is done, that we wish to send numbers representing what key has  
59

been pressed (and perhaps even what device this key is for). We first need to simplify the  
problem so that we don’t have deal with too many "Pulse widths". We can easily do this  
by representing the number in base 2, or binary. (I apologize if this now gets a little  
technical, but in reality it already has). In binary there are only two digits to worry about  
not ten as in decimal. Therefore we only need to have two distinct "pulse widths". If you  
think about it, the periods of on and off will need to alternate. If they didn’t it would be  
hard to judge their width. [Note: Other modulation schemes in particular RC5 do not use  
PWM. RC5 uses Phase modulation. Luckily for us we never have to decode or figure out  
the RC5 patterns because Philips has provided them as pure clean data.] Only one of the  
widths needs to vary. Either the width of the ON period or the Width of the Off period.  
In summary, IR transmission most often takes place by varying the on off times of  
an IR emitter to represent binary numbers according to some well established pattern.  
[Note: At this point I am going to assume that the reader has a basic  
understanding of the binary numbering system. Not detailed enough to add, subtract or  
multiply them, but enough to be able to form the decimal value of a binary number.]  
Each manufacturer has the option of deciding just how big a number he wishes to  
send to his equipment, and what meaning is given to that number (or numbers) when they  
are received. Remember the environment through which the IR signals are passing (the  
air) is noisy in a light sense. Bright sunlight, Fluorescent lights, all contribute to the  
noise. Some manufacturers add additional "redundant" information such as sending the  
numbers twice to ensure that they get to the equipment correctly. Some do not. I will  
discuss those details when I discuss some of the more common manufacturer’s products.  
The Philips ProntoEdit HEX Format  
This discussion is only completely valid for IR transmissions using Pulse Width  
Modulation. Keep in mind that the sole purpose of the HEX data is to represent a series  
of ON and OFF times for the IR emitter, and when the IR emitter appear to be solidly ON  
its is rapidly flashing. The ProntoEdit HEX format uses a pair of numbers to represent an  
on/off sequence. We will call this a "Burst Pair" (thanks to AHP). The first digit  
represents an ON time and the second an Off time.  
The question is how much time? What the burst pair really contains is the number  
of cycles of the carrier for which to turn the light on and off. The carrier frequency  
therefore acts as the clock (not totally true, but good enough for this discussion). To  
illustrate the point, let us assume a carrier frequency of 40 kilohertz (that is 40,000 cycles  
per second). This is a very common IR carrier frequency. One cycle of that carrier takes  
1/40000 units of time or 25 microseconds. A "burst pair" of 48,24 would turn the IR  
emitter on for 48*25 Microseconds, and off for 24*25 microseconds. A "burst Pair" of  
24,24 would turn the IR emitter on for 24*25 Microseconds, and off for 24*25  
microseconds. Because we are using binary numbers we only have two digits to represent  
(0,1) as opposed to decimal where we would need 10 unique burst pair patterns to  
represent the 10 decimal digits. We could for example decide the encoding of a "1" will  
be represented by having the On period twice as long as the Off period, and a "0" by  
60  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
having them equal. We might choose 48,24 for the "1" and 24,24 for the "0". In fact this  
is what Sony has done in its IR remotes. [Note: If you work through the numbers you will  
find that Sony IR signaling uses a sequence of 1200 microseconds of light followed by  
600 microseconds of no light to represent a "1"; and a sequence of 600 microseconds of  
light followed by 600 microseconds of no light to represent a "0"]. In general all IR  
equipment is forgiving and operates with in a timing tolerance of +/- 10%.  
A full IR key code as encoded in the ProntoEdit Hex display contains three  
discrete parts.  
Preamble Burst Pair Sequence 1 Burst Pair Sequence 2  
Either one of the burst pair sequences is optional so we will actually have three  
different patterns of IR encoding.  
Preamble Burst Pair Sequence 1 Burst Pair Sequence 2  
Preamble Burst Pair Sequence 1  
Preamble Burst Pair Sequence 2  
The preamble does not contain Burst Pairs but rather four (4) hexadecimal (HEX,  
base 16) numbers, each of which has a precise meaning. I will only discuss them in the  
context of Learned IR codes. Each Hex number consists of 4 digits.  
The first number is always a zero (0000) it indicates that the IR pattern is raw  
data, which means it was learned.  
The second number is the frequency of the IR carrier in terms of the Pronto  
internal clock. The following formula where N represents the decimal value of this hex  
number will give you the frequency of the carrier in Kilohertz: Frequency = 1000000/(N  
* .241246)  
A Sony remote will usually have a value for N of 103 (this shows as 67 Hex).  
Doing the arithmetic we have Freq=1000000/(103*. 241246)= 40,244 or approximately  
40,000 cycles per second (well within a tolerance of 40,000 +/- 10%)  
The third number is the number of Burst Pairs in Burst Pair Sequence #1. Each  
Burst pair consists of two 4 digit Hex numbers representing the On and Off time of that  
burst (single binary Bit).  
The fourth number is the number of Burst Pairs in Burst Pair Sequence #2.  
Burst Pair Sequence #1 starts at word 5 if it is present and is immediately  
followed by the digits of Burst Pair Sequence #2 if it is present (word 4>0000). If  
Sequence #1 is missing (word 3=0000), then Burst Sequence Number 2 starts at word 5.

A Burst Pair Sequence usually looks as follows:  
Lead in Burst Pair Data Burst Pairs Lead Out Burst Pair  
The Lead In Burst pair can be thought of as the hello or wake up burst. It tells the  
receiver to start listening (or rather looking) very closely as what is coming. It is usually  
of different timing duration than the Burst Pairs in the data part. Technically it is also  
used to set the receivers AGC level, a factor related to how much the receiver will  
amplify the IR light it sees.  
The Lead Out burst pair marks the end of the message and usually has a long OFF  
time period to guarantee that two IR messages can’t be sent too close together. It may  
actually be incorporated as part of the last data bit if the ON period is what carries the  
information (that is, the off time is constant in the data portion and the On time varies  
between two values). Once again, Sony does exactly that.  
Remember all data in the IR Hex display is in Hex and to properly interpret these  
values you must convert them to decimal. Two values should be considered equal if they  
are within about 10% of each other. They don’t have to be exactly the same.  
[Digression to convert a 4 digit Hex "WXYZ" number to decimal, the following  
formula will work W*4096+X*256+Y*16+Z. W,X,Y,Z represent HEX digits in the  
range 0-15 where a=10, b=11,c=12,d=13,e=14,f=15. A hex value of 0067 is therefore  
16*6+7=103)].  
If you understand all of what has been discussed so far you have based the basics  
of Binary Signaling 101. Go take a breather.  
Before we look at some actual IR codes and their detailed formats, we should  
understand why there might be two burst sequences in the code and not always just one.  
The first burst sequence is the Once sequence. It is sent if you tap the button on the  
Pronto which has learned this code. The second burst sequence is called the Repeat  
sequence. It is sent repeatedly as long as you hold the key on the Pronto down. If you  
have used an IR remote you already know that all buttons do not "repeat". The two  
sequences do not have to be the same. In many cases they are, in others they are not. This  
is generally manufacturer dependent.

IR Codes  
The world of IR remotes has become a commodity world. IR remotes (simple  
ones, not the Pronto) are relatively inexpensive. I bought 5, credit card sized, universal  
remotes for $10. They are three times as thick as a credit card but the same height and  
width. Fits nicely in a shirt pocket. (A true couch potato must NEVER EVER be without  
a remote!).  
This has happened because there has been a large degree of standardization on the  
chips that generate the IR codes and receive them. In fact there are only about 5 or 6 such  
chips being used. Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, Philips and NEC are the most popular, with the  
NEC one being the most popular of all. The majority of the Asian rim manufacturers  
(except for Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, and Philips) use NEC chips and therefore NEC format.  
I will discuss the exact coding of two of these systems, Sony and NEC. I believe  
Pioneer, Onkyo, Akai, Canon, Goldstar (now LG), Hitachi, Kenwood, NEC, Teac, and  
Yamaha all use the NEC chip.  
[Note: IR data is always transmitted least significant bit first so the first data bit  
sent is lowest order and in a real binary representation it would be the rightmost bit  
having a weight of 1.]

The lead out pattern in the Sony code is added to the last bit by increasing the off  
time. It is NOT a separate burst of data.  
Sony data consists of a different number of bits in the message. The first seven  
bits (the first seven burst pairs after the lead in burst) always represent the key pressed on  
the remote. The next N bits where in is 5, 8, or 13 represents a device code. Older Sony  
devices like a TV (no matter what its true model age, it is a device made by Sony for a  
long time so it is "old") uses a 12 bit code. A newer one like the DVD S7000 uses a 20 bit  
code. Some remotes can control more than 1 device so they can send codes of different  
lengths.  
Here is an example from a Sony DVD S7000 as it appears in the ProntoEdit Hex

The above is the function code as transmitted it is 0111010. Reversing the string  
so it is a true binary number with the least significant digit on the right we get 0101110  
which in decimal is 46.

The device code as transmitted is 0101110010010. Reversing the order to make it  
a binary number we get 0100100111010. Converting it to decimal we get 2362.  
This means that the Sony DVD S7000 has a device code of 2362 and this key has  
a function code of 46. This is the discrete Power ON key. If a Sony device has a discrete  
Power on Code it is normally 46. Note the dead time on the second half of the last data  
burst pair. Sony does not use a unique lead out, but rather adds the inter-message  
minimum time to the last data burst’s off period  
Sony codes are fairly simple. Sony builds a lot of power into the IR senders, and  
good noise rejection in their receivers. They use no redundancy or error checking in the  
code

Doing the arithmetic we see that this code uses a base time of 550 microseconds.  
The lead in is a unique burst as is the lead out. It is a pulse width modulation system  
where the information is carried in the length of the off time with a fixed duration of on  
time. The NEC message format is quite a bit more complicated then that of Sony. It is  
always a 32-bit code. Which consists of 16 bits of data and 16 bits of error checking.  
The code is divided into four 8-bit fields.  
Device Code Device code Compliment Function Code Function Code Compliment  
A device code will be in the range of 0 to 255 or 256 discrete device codes. The  
same is true of the function code. The compliment fields are the 1’s compliment of the  
code they represent. The device code and the device code compliment must add up to 255  
or else there is an error. The same is true of the function code and the function code  
compliment. NEC uses a discrete lead in and a discrete lead out, so the total code length  
will take 34 burst pairs to represent as a Burst Pair Sequence.

Disk Player.

If you work out all of the detailed analysis in a manner similar to that shown for  
the Sony you should determine that the carrier frequency is indeed 40kHz, there are 34  
total burst pairs in the one burst sequence used, and the burst sequence is repeatable. The  
actual 32 bits of data is: 00010101 11101010 01011000 10100111 Looking at the  
adjacent fields (1 & 2, 3 & 4) we see they are compliments of each other. A short way of  
checking for compliments is that ones become zeros and zeros become ones.  
The device code as transmitted is 00010101. Reversing it we get the binary value  
10101000. This is the decimal value of 128+32+8=168.  
The function code is transmitted as 01011000. Reversing it we get the binary  
number 00011010. This is the decimal value 16+8+2=26.  
This is the discrete Power On Code for the CLD 79.  
Conclusion  
Let me once again say thank you to all those who helped me with the deciphering  
of these codes. I used to do it for a living but that was for some government agency and  
that is a whole other story. All the help made it much faster and much more enjoyable. If  
you are interested in finding out more about IR codes search the WWW. Sci.Electronics  
FAQ is a good search parameter along with the word "IR code". An article by Scott  
Coleman of Xanadu consulting sheds a lot of light on the Sony Control-S protocol. An  
excellent article by Juergen Putger describes decoding IR remotes in general. Once you  
find a couple of them, they will have links to the others.
