Transmitting with
External Equipment
Using the External Serial
Terminal
— Serial Menu
When you click Serial in the Administrator menu, the
Serial menu is displayed.
Using this menu, you can input data into the camera
from the computer via a network and output them to the
external serial interface to control a peripheral device.
You can also input data from a peripheral device via an
external serial interface and output them to the computer
via a network.
Mode
Select the mode of data transmission/reception via a
network: TCP port or VISCA protocol.
TCP: Select when you use the TCP port to input and
output data through the external serial interface.
Using this method, you can easily check data
communications through the serial port by DOS
command "telnet [host name] [port number]."
When TCP is selected, TCP port No. box becomes
active. Type the port number corresponding to the
TCP port. Specify a port number (1024 to 65535)
other than established port numbers.
VISCA: Select when you control the camera with
VISCA protocol. As for the command list of VISCA
protocol, refer to the dealer of your camera or Sony
professional products service counter nearby.
Notes
• When you execute serial control with VISCA
protocol, match the transmission setting with the
connected controller.
• This camera does not correspond to the daisy chain
connection of a VISCA device. Use the camera and
the controller one-on-one.
