Hello everyone,
Here's one for ya!
I can't seem to find any decent information on how to control AV equiptment via serial.
I know the serial ports are just sitting there waiting for me to exploit. Rs232 on my sharp tv and av receiver serial on my dreambox etc.
I'd like to know if its possible to get it all linked up and controlled full on rather than a little bit via the posh remotes.
I'm technical and have come up on a bit of a dead end. I used to work in the AV industry but my specialty to be honest was pro equiptment not consumer stuff, so I've got my head around most of it but this is bugging me!
I understand systems like crestron etc would probably use this or similar method (proprietary software) to get it all done and I don't want to have to call up someone that might not tell me anything!
