SC Master and SD Event Control units can be remote-controlled via serial commands from a superordinated control system. Via the serial port RS232-IN the functions of the IR remote control can be simulated via ASCII commands. Moreover, this feature also allows selective control of shows played back from CF card.
If you want to control Wings Vioso RX via an SC Master unit, programming can conveniently be performed via drivers and you needn't deal with ASCII protocol. See Using drivers for serial control.
Within an SC Net System, volume and sound can be remote-controlled via any SC Master and SD Event control units and programmed markers. See Remote-controlling volume and sound.
No initialization is necessary before ASCII commands can be sent to the control unit. The communications protocol is 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity bit and one stop bit.
ASCII command identification "a" (= 61 Hex, 97 Dec) must be sent as first character. ASCII command identification "#" (= 23 Hex, 35 Dec) must be sent as last character. No spaces are allowed. The maximum time interval between two characters must not exceed 20 ms, otherwise the command is ignored.
This protocol applies to all SC Master, SD Event Control and SD EC 2X4 units alike. However, the corresponding units do not support all functions. Further information on the functional range of the devices can be found in the corresponding manuals.
