I dug up the RS-232 commands for my TV:

Volume81 01-64H Set between 01-64H
Power On/Off83 00-01 00=Off 01=On
Brightness 85 01-64H
Contrast 86 01-64H
V-Size 87 01-64H
etc...


Now what? Whats the next step? Is it all done with Integration Designer?
If its done w/ ID, do you create a string? What's a string?
I have RTI T3-V & ZRP-6.


FYI, I have a installer who is going to do this. I watch over his shoulder, but I ask because i am interested myself.
Sorry for the basic questions...

Sounds like you got your hands on a copy of ID and now you need help.  Contact your installer/integrator and have him explain this to you if they will.

With help from my installer this evening, I now have my new XP-6 and iPad running things, with serial commands to the tv as well.

All is good...

And no, I dont have a copy of ID fyi, but knowledge of how things work, which is all I asked in the first place.

Yes, for the most part. I was mostly interested in how RS-232 worked with machine to machine. I now understand the basic principles of it. I know C+, so RS232 is simple stuff- on old, but reliable protocol.

I'm just happy that my RTI stuff works; and works well! It's bulletproof!
And I now understand how, and why it works.

Thanks again for all advice given.
