Panasonic http via serial device

Born out of a long train journey I thought I would share this, i aim to keep this page updated with useful tid-bits.


First entry, Control all Panasonic http parameters via a catalyst serial device:

Looks good :)

For reference - Shutter open/close and Lamp ON/OFF is possible via RS232 (admittedly not direct HTP) and is can be quicker than HTP - although you would need a serial server / RS232 cable rather than just a cat5 cable

sample Panasonic serial commands (I wrote) are included in catalyst serial control menu.

Thanks Simon,

We've successfully used this in parallel with your serial commands due to J Lyle's love of backups for everything :)

FYI you can also open a TCP socket on port 1024 on most Panasonic projectors and issue the serial command direct, you just need to make sure you set the password to nothing otherwise it requires complex hashed authentication stuff.
