Pioneer LDP Protocol
This protocol emulates the text protocol used to control Pioneer Laser disk players. The protocol consists of short
ASCII text commands terminated with a carriage return.
The HD Player supports the following subset of the protocol.
Play - PL<CR>
This command begins playback of the Video stream.
Stop - RJ<CR>
This command stops playback of the Video stream, and sets the HD video output to black.
Still - ST<CR>
This command stops playback of the Video stream, and leaves a freeze frame on the HD video output.
Chapter Search - CH<number>SE<CR>
This command is used to select a different file for playback. <number> contains a numeric ASCII value
specifying the required entry in the Playlist.
e.g. CH12SE<CR> - select entry 12 in the Playlist.
Note that chapter search does not cause the file to start playing.
Frame Search - <number>SE<CR>
