  • Page 6: Communicating With Crimson

    Communicating with Crimson Understand the information and procedures for communicating with Crimson from a remote location. Product documentation For installation, setup, and user information, see the product documentation available on the Christie Digital Systems USA Inc. website. Read all instructions before using or servicing this product.
  • Page 7: Related Documentation

    Once you have connected your computer to either the RS232 IN port (depending on which standard is supported by your computer) or to the Ethernet port on Crimson, you can remotely access controls and image setups, issue commands or queries, and receive replies.
  • Page 8: Setting Up The Ethernet

    Ethernet is setup to obtain an IP address automatically if a DHCP server is on the network. To modify IP settings, or manually enter an address. Christie recommends using the Ethernet port on the IMXB as the HDBaseT port is limited to 100 Mb/s. You cannot change the IP settings using the web interface.
  • Page 9: Basic Message Structure

    (+) character to separate the code and subcode. If there is no subcode, the plus sign (+) is also omitted. In messages sent to Crimson that have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.
  • Page 10: Special Characters For Text

    For additional reassurance and/or maximum message integrity, insert one or two special characters. Message Description requirement Acknowledgments For assurance from Crimson (or group of projectors) that a set message has been processed, request an acknowledgment. Crimson and Crimson Mirage Technical Reference–Serial Commands 020-102660-01 Rev. 1 (07-2018) Copyright 2018 Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc.
  • Page 11: Error Messages

    The acknowledgment is returned after the message has been received and fully executed by Crimson (such as in the case of a source switch it is not sent until the switch is complete). If the message cannot be executed for some reason (such as invalid parameters, time-out, and so on) a NAK is returned instead (not-acknowledge).
  • Page 12: Descriptive Error

    10 extra characters or they may be lost (such as, Crimson can accommodate the receipt of up to 10 more bytes after it sends 13h (Xoff)). When the buffer is once again available, Crimson sends a 11h (Xon) command to resume transmission.
  • Page 13: Serial Api Commands

    Serial API commands The Crimson commands can be used to modify product settings. ADR–Projector Address Sets or queries the device address. This command also helps to identify where a response or asynchronous message originates from. Generally, this command is used for projectors that are daisy-chained together using the RS232 style communication.
