TVM-1600 Endeleo Managed TV Distribution Hub
Serial Device Control
Overview
The Endeleo Managed TV solution supports the learning of serial commands for display devices. For
example it is possible to turn a TV, LCD or Plasma on and off from the TVM-1600 over a serial
connection.
This section describes how to learn the Serial Protocols for the TV screen and save it to the TVM-RX03
Managed TV Receiver. An RS232 cable is then connected to the TVM-RX03 and attached to the TV
screen’s RS232 control port.
Important Notes About Serial Device Control
The serial commands learned are stored on the receive unit.
Care should be taken when moving receive units between different end devices, as commands
stored in one RX may be different to those in another RX.
