Detailed Explanation of Response "R" Timing when "PL" Command is Issued DVD-V8000 "R" Response R is returned when Play is ready. Example: P01 => PL Receive => Play Ready => Play Start (P04) => R Send PL-Z82 "R" Response -- Firmware Version 2. 00 or later Status goes to P02 and R is immediately returned. Example: P01=> PL Receive (P02) => R Send => Play Ready => Play Start (P04) The Play ready time in V9000 varies depending on factors like the content format, bit rate, and whether or not a MAP file exists.

Command Issuance Interval when ?F ?P Commands are Used ?F and ?P response times are longer in PL-Z82 as compared to DVD-V8000. As a result, when commands are sent at the same interval as that for DVD-V8000, there may be cases where player function response is drastically reduced due to overloaded internal processing. Therefore, when you use a status command, develop a program so that the next command is issued after the response status comes in from the V9000, or so that the command-send intervals are set sufficiently long.

Setting Details for 15-pin D-sub Connector Pin 15 STOP_ST Status You can use the output STOP_ST (tally signal) of Pin 15 on the 15-pin D-sub connector to detect that video playing has stopped, instead of using 232C Command "?P" Player Active Mode Request or "?F" Frame Number Request. When you use this method, you may be able to detect the transition of Play Mode (Example: Play Still) faster than by using ?P or?F. There are 2 types of STOP_ST: one is the Play status detection mode that detects the Play status and the other is the Stop status detection mode that detects the Stop status (including Still). Arg 0 1 (Default) Detection Mode Stop status detection mode Play status detection mode Function Stopped status (P01) => "L" is output. TV monitors and projectors For perfect frame synchronization use the same TV monitor and projector models. Signal generator (SG) The PL-Z82 can handle bi-level BB sync in addition to HD tri-level sync signals.

(To prevent excessive signal input) · To prevent malfunction, turn on an external sync signal generator before turning on the PL-Z82. Known compatible sync generators Note: The following is information on sync generators that have been confirmed to work with the PL-Z82. However, the listed devices are not guaranteed to operate under all operating conditions or environments.

"FI" command for selecting files Not required when there is only one video file in a video folder on an SD card Not required for repeat play of the same file "SE" command for finding playback start Set "SM" stop marker Set 1 to 3 markers for each player When each player has been set up, send the PL command (including CR) to all players (broadcast transmission) Make sure that all players play up to the set stop markers and then enter STILL mode. 2. 5. Notes: Confirm that a response to a previously sent command has been received before sending the next command.

Recommended SD card We recommend using the following SD cards to ensure stability when playing video on the PL-Z82 as well as for playing high bit-rate videos. Type of Card: SDHC 4 GB/8 GB/16 GB/32 GB CLASS 6 or CLASS 10 Card MakerPanasonic, Toshiba, SanDisk A Class 6 SDHC card is guaranteed to provide a 48 Mbps or faster transfer rate, while a Class 10 guarantees at least 80 Mbps, so the actual transfer rate (during play) will be even higher. However, the value of the data transfer rate of the SD card is not always guaranteed as the video bit rate of the content that this unit plays. [. . . ]
