HDMA-4000 Reference 3 - Serial control
Reference 3 Serial control The HDMA-4000 can be controlled from a device connected to the serial port. The HDMA-4000 has two serial command modes: Pioneer LD/DVD mode, which is more compatible with a Pioneer CD/DVD, and HDMA-4000(Ver.1.1x) mode, which is a traditional serial control command mode. These modes can be changed via a Web browser’s settings page. (See Reference 4). te No Synchronized playback of the HDMA-4000 is only available in the Pioneer LD/DVD mode.
Reference 3 Command descriptions (Pioneer LD/DVD mode) While the Pioneer LD/DVD mode is designed to be compliant to Pioneer, its operations are not identical to the HDMA-4000(Ver.1.1x) mode. Supported commands (arg)RJ SA (adrs)PL PA ST adrs SE adrs SL adrs SM CL FR TM CH TI arg AU arg AD arg KL RM Stops the HDD. Ignores the arguments. Starts the HDD.

Specify the relative path from the serial control content folder with enclosing quotation marks.
Reference 3 Changing serial control settings and the sync unit list To change the HDMA-4000 operations to a specific command, create the following settings file [psctl.conf] in the [serial] folder and reboot the HDMA-4000 unit. * For a sample of [psctl.conf], see the [Serial contents] folder on the product’s CD-ROM. - psctl.conf example SYNC stop_mode se_mode Lists the HDMA-4000Sync host name to synchronize. Required to execute synchronized playback with multiple units.
Reference 3 ERROR codes Serial control E00 ............ Communication error. E04 ............ Unavailable function. E06 ............ Invalid parameter. E11 ............ Disk not present. E12 ............ Search address cannot be found. E15 ............ Picture stopped. E16 ............ Control, from key/remote controller/remote serial, detected while a command is in progress. E99 ............ A fatal error has occurred. R................
Reference 3 Controls by frame or time When using serial control with a laserdisc, the playback starting position can be specified by frame or timecode of the disk. In HDMA-4000, create a ContentFrame.idx file where content frames are registered, or a ContentTime.idx file where timecodes are registered and place these in the [serial] folder, to enable the supported commands, FR and TM, thus enabling search and playback in accordance with the contents’ frame or timecode.
Reference 3 ContentFrame.idx Sample file-01.m2t,0 file-01_stop.m2t,0 file-02.m2t,0 file-02_stop.m2t,0 file-03.m2t,0 file-03_stop.m2t,0 Serial control 1 1000 1001 2000 2501 2800 File name ,0 Frame number * With serial controls, because the contents will be played in ascending alphabetical order in accordance with the file name, frame numbers must be assigned consistently with the ascending alphabetical order of file names.
Reference 3 - TM command In order to use the TM command, create a ContentTime.idx file in the [serial] folder. The descriptions contained in ContentTime.idx are as follows: Timecode [TAB] File name,0 * [TAB] represents the tab character. * Always add the ,0 characters at the end of a file name.
Reference 3 # Content that corresponds to 60 to 100 second. # Content that corresponds to 3600 to 3800 second. # Dummy file 1 for specifying the stopping position. # Dummy file 2 for specifying the stopping position. * For dummy files to specify the stopping position, place MPEG2 files in the folder (in this example, two files). Serial control file2-01.m2t file2-02.m2t file2-01_stop.m2t file2-02_stop.

Reference 3 How to use serial control 1 When the HDMA-4000 is set to scheduled playback mode, send a command, 1PO, to the serial port and switch the unit to serial control mode. 2 Send a command, CH, SE, to the content you want to play and move to it. 3 Send a command, PL, to start playback. 4 Set the repeat mode with the MS command, if necessary. 5 To return to the scheduled playback, send a 0PO command. * Send TI2SECH3SE to move to Title 2, Chapter 3.
Reference 3 Managing a content file Serial control To retain compatibility with serial control of generic DVDs/LDs, the title and chapter are used as the address specification mode. Unlike those of DVDs/LDs, these address values are given title and chapter numbers based on the folder construction on the HDD. On the HDMA-4000, all the content files should be stored in a specific folder (the content folder for serial controlled playback).
Reference 3 Title A sub-folder or a content file in the content folder for serial controlled playback is regarded as a title. When a sub-folder is in the content folder for serial controlled playback, the group of content files in it is regarded as a title. The items in the content folder for serial controlled playback are sorted and given serial numbers starting from 1 so these can be used as title numbers.
Reference 3 Seamless playback Serial control Seamless playback can be enabled/disabled from the Web console. When seamless playback is enabled, all the files under the content folder will be played seamlessly. Seamless playback is available only for sequential playback. When content is skipped because of a command, seamless playback will not be performed. To enable seamless playback, the files have to be encoded in the same format and have the same parameters.

HDMA-4000 Reference 5 - Sync playback using the HDMA-4000Sync
Reference 5 Sync playback using the HDMA-4000Sync By executing sync playback using multiple HDMA-4000Sync units, playback on a giant screen, which consists of multiple monitors, or 3D video where videos for the right and left eyes are played in sync, will be available. The following diagram shows an example of sync playback, using three HDMA-4000Sync units. Connecting devices An example of synchronized playback with the HDMA-4000Sync.
Reference 5 te No Sync playback using the HDMA-4000Sync Before turning the HDMA-4000Sync on, input the reference signal properly. External sync will not be done properly if the input of the reference signal stops or the settings of the reference signal are changed during operation. te No All the HDMA-4000Sync units being used for sync playback must be connected through a single HUB. If the HDMA-4000Sync units are connected to a HUB in a cascading manner, synchronization may be faulty.
Reference 5 Sync unit list Place a [psctl.conf] file in the [serial] folder on the master unit, containing a list of HDMA-4000Sync units to synchronize. In this example, use the host names that were used in the previous section and edit the file as follows: * If the [psctl.conf] is also used for settings other than specifying the sync units list, place a [psctl. conf] file with the same contents in the [serial] folders on the slave units. * For settings other than the list of sync units in the psctl.
