Runco/VX-1000N/ASerial

Description:

This driver controls the Runco VX-1000 DLP projector, one of Runco's nicer digital video projectors. This driver is PDL based and the protocol file is RuncoVX1000.CQCProto. It was originally written by Dean Roddey and then substantially enhanced by Mykel Koblentz.

Quirks and Limitations:

None at this time.

Connection Details

The Runco VX-1000 connection is serial at 19,200, N, 8, 1. The protocol is very simple and the speed is good for the amount information that needs to move around.

Driver Fields

This section lists the fields that the driver makes available, their types, minimum and maximum values, etc...

NameTypeR/WDescription/Limits
AspectRatioStringRIndicates the current set aspect ratio
BackgroundIntR/WGet or set the background level, which is a value from -100 to 100.
BrightnessIntR/WGet or set the brightness level, which is a value from -100 to 100.
ColorIntR/WGet or set the color level, which is a value from -100 to 100.
ContrastIntR/WGet or set the contrast level, which is a value from -100 to 100.
DateOfMfgStringRIndicates the date of manufacture for the projector
DayModeBoolR/WTrue sets day mode, false sets night mode.
FormatStringR/WAn enumerated field to set the current display format. The values are: Anamorphic, Standard  4:3, Letterbox, VirtualWide
HardwareVerStringRIndicates the hardware version for the projector.
HeightIn/HeightOutIntR/WGet or set the input and output height levels, which are values from -100 to 100.
HPosIn/HPosOutIntR/WGet or set the input and output position levels, which are values from -100 to 100.
InARStringRIndicates the current input aspect ratio
InputStringR/WAn enumerated field to select the desired input. The values are: composite, svideo1, svideo2, component, hd1, hd2, dvi1, dvi2, hd1pass, hd2pass.
