Has anyone succeeded in controlling an AVTech DVR by connecting the RS-232 connection to a PC? I think the main difficulty is finding a utility to generate the sequence of characters needed. scorpion Posts: 3545 Joined: 26 Mar 2007 Location: Melbourne Florida Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:47 pm     Post subject: I would be interested in seeing what happens to your experiments.

Go to page 52, and you will see the chart that has the function, and the hex code equivalent, and the ASCII equivalent. Page 51 has the pin outs for the RS 232 TX, and RX Let me know if you made it work! _________________ Scorpion http://scorpiontheater.com/troubleshooting.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/16deal.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/4channeldvrs.aspx QUESTION: Why is there always enough time to go back and fix it right a second time?? scorpion Posts: 3545 Joined: 26 Mar 2007 Location: Melbourne Florida Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:57 am     Post subject: What became of your project??? _________________ Scorpion http://scorpiontheater.com/troubleshooting.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/16deal.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/4channeldvrs.aspx QUESTION: Why is there always enough time to go back and fix it right a second time??

I was hoping you came up with some kind of program that even Rory would drool to see! I was wondering if you could do some kind of IR to RS 232 converter, and then learn the IR codes from a hand held remote for the DVR. http://xantech.com/products/controllers_switchers/irs232a.htm You can use an RS 232 to IR converter as well http://xantech.com/products/controllers_switchers/rs232ir.htm RS 232 control over the internet http://xantech.com/products/controllers_switchers/iprs23202.htm Here is a 16 channel controller http://xantech.com/products/controllers_switchers/59010.htm OH well. Maybe someone else will put something together! _________________ Scorpion http://scorpiontheater.com/troubleshooting.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/16deal.aspx http://scorpiontheater.com/4channeldvrs.aspx QUESTION: Why is there always enough time to go back and fix it right a second time??
