TV Logic LUM-Monitors External Control
TVLogic Control Ports Explained
REMOTE, RS-422, and LAN ports are used to control the monitor’s functions remotely.
How to control and what to control are different among three ports.
[REMOTE port] (RJ45)
Provides connection to control equipment (parallel switch) for external monitor control. You can operate the monitor using an external device connected to the REMOTE port and execute the functions registered in each pin. Features can be changed in the GPI section of the OSD (On Screen Display) menu. Please refer to 'GPI' in the user manual about how to register functions.
[RS-422 IN/OUT port] (RJ45)
This port is used for the control of the monitor using an external device via TVLogic protocol or for the control of the dynamic UMD via TSL protocol.
And, TVLogic provides the observer software which enables the user to control the functions of the monitor.
The monitor is connected to the PC via the REMOTE port. TVLogic monitor has RS-422 IN-port and RS-422 OUT-port, so multiple monitors can be connected by daisy chain.
[LAN port] (RJ45)
LAN port is also used for the control of the monitor using an external device via TVLogic protocol.
The same TVLogic protocol is used for both RS-422 and LAN control. Multiple monitors can be connected using the router or the network hub.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
TVLogic RS-422 External Control Port
This port is used for the control of the monitor using an external device via TVLogic protocol or for the control of the dynamic UMD via TSL protocol.
And, TVLogic provides the observer software which enables the user to control the functions of the monitor.
The monitor is connected to the PC via the REMOTE port.
TVLogic monitor has RS-422 IN-port and RS-422 OUT-port, so multiple monitors can be connected by daisy chain.

TVLogic RS-422 Commands (HEX Code)
The following communication reference list (HEX-codes) has been tested on the TVLogic LUM-series 318G and 310X monitors.
Most of the codes should work in combination with other LUM-series monitors. That said it should be noted that there are functions that are exclusive for only a few specific monitors.
