Overview

PJLink is a communication protocol, based on TCP/IP communication, which is used to enable monitoring and control of projectors over the network. It was created by the JBMIA (Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association).

PJLink is a standard that is not limited to a projector manufacturer or a specific projector model. Thus, PJLink enables central control of projectors from different manufacturers. It includes basic commands and status queries that are important for control and monitoring.

The implementation of PJLink covers the command scope of PJLink classes 1 and 2 of the Control Protocol. The Security Authorization function is also supported. The "Search Protocol" and the "Status Notification Protocol" (both based on UDP communication and part of the Class 2 specification) are not included in the implementation.
