VISCA1) RS-232C/RS422 Commands Use of RS-232C/RS-422 control software based upon this command list may cause malfunction or damage to hardware and software. Sony Corporation is not liable for any such damage. Each VISCA device has a VISCA IN and VISCA OUT connector. Set the DTR input (the S output of the controller) of VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment from the controller. Fig.
VISCA Communication Specifications VISCA packet structure The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a packet (Fig. 2). The first byte of the packet is called the header and comprises the sender’s and receiver’s addresses. For example, the header of the packet sent to the BRC-300/P assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the BRC-300/P assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the BRC-300/P at X.
Command and inquiry Socket number z Command When command messages are sent to the BRC-300/P, it is normal to send the next command message after waiting for the completion message or error message to return. However to deal with advanced uses, the BRC-300/P has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received.
VISCA Device Setting Command Before starting control of the BRC-300/P, be sure to send the Address command and the IF_Clear command using the broadcast function. For VISCA network administration z Address Sets an address of a peripheral device. Use when initializing the network, and receiving the following network change message. z Network Change Sent from the peripheral device to the controller when a device is removed from or added to the network.
VISCA Command/ACK Protocol Command Command Message Reply Message Comments General Command 81 01 04 38 02 FF (Example) 90 41 FF (ACK)+90 51 FF (Completion) 90 42 FF 90 52 FF Returns ACK when a command has been accepted, and Completion when a command has been executed. 81 01 04 38 FF 90 60 02 FF (Syntax Error) Accepted a command which is not supported or a command lacking parameters.
VISCA Camera-Issued Messages ACK/Completion Messages Command Command Message Comments ACK z0 4y FF (y:Socket No.) Returned when the command is accepted. Completion z0 5y FF (y:Socket No.) Returned when the command has been executed. z = Device address + 8 Error Messages Command Command Message Comments Syntax Error z0 60 02 FF Returned when the command format is different or when a command with illegal command parameters is accepted.
