ESC/VP
This I/O Server control SEIKO EPSON projectors which include a wide range of multi-source projectors remotely controllable via Ethernet, serial port, and USB connection. HSYCO SERVER integrates these devices through Ethernet connection.
The used protocol is compliant with the ESC/VP21 protocol specifications.

Projector Configuration
Use an Ethernet straight cable to connect the device to the HSYCO SERVER network.
In order to be able to control the device with HSYCO some initial configuration of the SEIKO EPSON device is needed.
In the “Network” section of the main menu, assign a suitable fixed IP address to the device and set the DHCP option to off.
Further, in the “Extended” section, make sure the option “Standby mode” is set to “communication on”.

- Source values
- The source value <src> consists of a two-characters code which variates depending on the model of the projector. For instance, for the model G5000, the code “21” corresponds to the RGB input and the code “45” to the BNC video source. Refer to the ESC/VP21 Command User’s Guide for a complete list of source codes for the different models.
