pjlink panasonic tcp videoprojector

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone had already tried to communicate via ethernet with a panasonic projector. It works fine on a web browser but I'd like to do it in max.
It uses the "pjlink" protocol. (http://pjlink.jbmia.or.jp/english/index.html)
It's uses TCP on port 4352.
After several tried with the mxj net.tcp.send object, I didn't succeed. Each time I'm sending something in it, it returns the message via the failure outlet.
Can anyone help me?

Regards.

Benoit SIMON.

how about jit.net.send? I used this for networking patches and it was fine (on Mac). For windows you need to deal with the firewall, poke a hole for Max on that port. Haven't tried communication with a projector though. What kinds of commands/controls do you want to send, out of curiosity? Sounds interesting.

I had limited success with the mxj objects for networking, but maybe that was "user error". jit.net.send worked like a charm though.
