TCP Connection

The TCP connection on the Pioneer BDP should be connected to the Network. It is recommended the BDP be set to a static IP via router MAC address reservations as it was noticed during driver development that the BDP responded undesirably when the unit itself was set to a static IP.

The driver uses port 8102 as a default.

RS-232 Connection

The RS-232 connection on the Pioneer BDP should be connected to the XP serial adapter with a null modem.

The Pioneer BDP uses a baud rate of 9600.

Driver Notes

- The driver utilizes a combination of query routines and transport command triggered feedback in order to receive the playback information. Feedback via RS-232 may have a delay in updating process due to the way the BDP responds via RS232. This is more noticeable when using the scanning capabilities of the DBP.
