Christie FHD651-P

I'm trying to control a Christie FHD651-P display from a DVX-3255, using the 232 port on a DXlink receiver. The symptom is that I can turn the display off but not on, and this is regardless of the display's power save ("wake from sleep") setting. The cable, baud rate etc. are good - I see strings to and from for the power off command, and also for the power status command if the display is on. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the Fine Manual; here's what I'm sending:

off: send_string 6004:1:0,"$07,$01,$02,'POW',$00,$08,$0d"
on: send_string 6004:1:0,"$07,$01,$02,'POW',$01,$08,$0d"
power status: send_string 6004:1:0,"$07,$01,$02,'POW',$08,$0d"

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

    Does it have the "Energy Saver" Feature turned on?

    As I said, I've tried all available settings for "energy saver" / "eco mode" / "power save." On this display it's called "wake from sleep." Thanks anyway.

    This is a pretty silly question, but in your Data_Event for the Christie, are you sending commands like "HS OFF" or "XOFF"? For some reason these commands tend to mess the communication up to the DXLink boxes.

    Other than some hidden BS, it appears you're doing everything right.

    Interesting... Yes, I'm using HSOFF and RXON for this 232 port. I have not seen that cause screwy behavior with regular DX boxes. Although for *fiber* DX transmitters, an HSOFF command kills the video. Pretty slick feature.

    I'll try fiddling with this next time I'm on site. The other thing will be to attempt IP control.

    Nice to hear from you, FX, and thanks.

    It is always nice to chit chat and catch up Chill. And if I can offer any help, it will be me attempting to repay a debt to you I'll never be able fully repay.

    But yes, I had a similar issue with Smart displays on regular DX-Link receivers a few months ago. I now have DX modules and regular modules to deal with this issue.
