Panasonic Plasma Screen
Rumour has it that this plasma screen was a donation from YUSU many years ago. No one of that era remains to confirm or deny this.
The screen is generally wheeled out for OBs, and often features in the Woodstock control room as the programme output.
Control Protocol
The RS-232C D-Sub 9 port on the rear of the panel speaks the older common Panasonic protocol.
| Port Settings | |
|---|---|
| Baud | 9600 bps |
| Data Bits | 8 |
| Parity | None |
| Stop Bits | 1 |
| Flow Control | None |
The commands are issued by placing the ASCII characters of each command between a STX (start transmission) and ETX (end transmission) ASCII control code. For example, to turn off the panel you issue <STX>POF<ETX>, or 02 50 4F 46 03 when seen in hex.
