    Docking ports can cause software upgrade failures. Product documentation For installation, setup, and user information, see the product documentation available on the Christie website. Read all instructions before using or servicing this product. D4K40-RGB 1.

  • Page 7: Connection And Use

    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.

    7. Use the up and down keys to enter the name of the projector. 8. Select Enter. Understanding message format Commands sent to and from D4K40-RGB are formatted as simple text messages consisting of a three letter command code, an optional four letter subcode, and optional data. Source...

  • 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 D4K40-RGB that have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.

  • Page 10: Special Characters For Text

    • Data in set messages to D4K40-RGB do not require padding with zeros. • Within each message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one space character.

  • Page 11: Maximizing Message Integrity

    The acknowledgment is returned after the message has been received and fully executed by D4K40-RGB (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: Error Messages

    D4K40-RGB stores messages in a buffer until ready to process. However, if a series of messages is sent, D4K40-RGB may not be able to process them as fast as they arrive and the buffer becomes full. If this happens, D4K40-RGB sends the 13h (Xoff) code to instruct the controller (or any devices preparing to transmit) to cease transmission.

  • Page 13: Serial Api Commands

    Serial API commands The D4K40-RGB 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.
