# Philips Professional Displays

> Philips professional and signage displays over SICP on TCP port 5000. Power, inputs, volume, mute and backlight; temperature, signal presence, operating hours and identity. Wake-on-LAN for power-on from deep standby.

**Works with:** Philips professional displays from PPDS that support SICP over the network, including the Q-Line, D-Line and T-Line signage and meeting-room ranges.

| **Connection**                   | SICP over TCP (port 5000), with Wake-on-LAN for power-on |
| **Power on/off from the portal** | Yes                                                      |
| **Protocol in the portal**       | Philips Professional Displays (`philips_sicp`)           |

## Before you start

1. Connect the display to the network and note its IP address. SICP over the network uses port 5000.
2. Check the display's **Monitor ID** in its menu (default 1). If it isn't 1, set the `monitor_id` tag.
3. So that the display can be powered on remotely, either set its advanced power management (**APM**) to keep the network on in standby (TCP on), or set the `mac_address` tag and turn on Wake-on-LAN.

## Add the device

1. In the portal, go to **Devices** and select **New device**.
2. Choose the **Collector** that can reach the device, and set **Protocol** to **Philips Professional Displays**.
3. Enter the settings below and save. The Collector picks up the new device within five minutes.

| Setting                  | Required | What to enter                                                                                 | Example             |
| ------------------------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **Address**              | Yes      | Display IP or hostname. Port 5000 is the SICP default; append :port to override.              | `192.168.30.50`     |
| **Tags → `monitor_id`**  | No       | The display's Monitor ID (1–255), set in its menu. Defaults to 1.                             | `1`                 |
| **Tags → `mac_address`** | No       | MAC address for Wake-on-LAN, so power\_on works when the display's network sleeps in standby. | `AA:BB:CC:11:22:33` |

<Note>
  **Tags** are set under **Advanced (JSON) → Tags** in the device form, as a JSON object, for example `{"monitor_id": "1"}`.

<Note>
  **Standby:** while the display is in standby it reports its power state, operating hours and identity; input, volume, signal and temperature readings return when it's switched on.
</Note>

<Note>
  **Backlight off** blanks the picture but leaves audio playing, which suits rooms where the screen should go dark without a full power-off.
</Note>

<Note>
  **Older models:** some older platforms only accept the short form of the volume commands. M.A.R.C.U.S. retries with that form automatically.
