Communicating with Mirage SST Understand the information and procedures for communicating with Mirage SST from a remote location. You can communicate with the projector through the RS232 IN port or the Ethernet port. When connecting the projector to a computer, use a direct connection. Docking ports can cause software upgrade failures.
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 Mirage SST, you can remotely access controls and image setups, issue commands or queries, and receive replies.
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 Mirage SST are formatted as simple text messages consisting of a three letter command code, an optional four letter subcode, and optional data. Source...
(+) character to separate the code and subcode. If there is no subcode, the plus sign (+) is also omitted. In messages sent to Mirage SST that have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.
• Data in set messages to Mirage SST do not require padding with zeros. • Within each message, multiple parameters of data must be separated by one space character.
The acknowledgment is returned after the message has been received and fully executed by Mirage SST (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).
= F0h when only the low byte is used = 240 Mirage SST collects all of the message bytes as defined in the first byte of the message, then creates its own checksum value for comparison with the checksum included in the controller’s message.
Mirage SST stores messages in a buffer until ready to process. However, if a series of messages is sent, Mirage SST may not be able to process them as fast as they arrive and the buffer becomes full. If this happens, Mirage SST sends the 13h (Xoff) code to instruct the controller (or any devices preparing to transmit) to cease transmission.
Serial API commands The Mirage SST 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.
(BGC 2) Result: (GAM 2600) BST–Built-in Self Test Performs self-checks in Mirage SST that can be safely executed either in standby, on, or cool down mode. Do not execute this command while Mirage SST is warming up. Commands Command Description...
To take measurements of each of the color primaries at points (15, 2, 5, 8, and 16), use a spectroradiometer such as the PR-655. Once the measurements are taken, enter the values into the projector using this serial command. For more information on color uniformity, refer to Mirage SST User Guide (P/N: 020-102993-XX).
Serial API commands (DDD 0) Disable Dual-Link support: (DDD 1) DEF–Factory Defaults Resets Mirage SST to its factory default values. Note the following about this command: • Resets the network settings to be DHCP enabled. • Deletes all user profiles, warps, and blends.
(EBB+SLCT 2) EBL–Edge Blending Selection Selects the edge blend to use on the projector. By default, edge blends are not on the projector. Use Christie Twist Pro, Twist Premium, or Mystique to add edge blends to the projector. Commands Command...
Configures which EDID is presented using inputs that support EDIDs (such as DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and so on). Use this command to configure what Mirage SST advertises regarding the type of signals it accepts. This command does not need to be set to accept a particular type of signal.

Controls or monitors the state of the general purpose inputs and outputs. The pins reserved for 12V and ground cannot be read, set, or configured. For a mapping of the IO pins to the physical connector pins, refer to the Mirage SST User Guide (P/N: 020-102993-XX). Commands...
