    Features  The 1/2.8 type Exmor CMOS camera (utilising approximately 2 million valid pixels) allows for high- definition shooting with superior picture quality.  Adopts 30 times optical magnification, F1.6 high power and luminous zoom lens.  By adopting its wide and dynamic range functions, you can see the optimised shooting image which incorporates bright and dark subjects at the same time.  Adopts the industry standard RS-232 interface of VISCA camera protocol in external communication. It is possible to operate from long distances by using both RS-232 and RS-422.  You can install the camera on ceilings due to the functions of high-speed and wide range pan/tilt action and vertical image flip.  You can use the infrared remote commander to set the camera and also to select panning, tilting and zooming from the setting menu.  You can store up to 16 kinds of camera direction and camera status into the camera. In the case of the infrared remote commander, 6 kinds can be stored.  You can use the LAN cable for external communication. This will make system construction easier.  The camera can be set for a variety of HD video formats and has an HDMI interface terminal. The HDMI video interface is in widespread use.

  • Page 16 Basic Functions Address Set VISCA is a protocol, which supports a daisy chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232 interface. In such cases, the address set command can be used to assign addresses from 1 to 7 to each of the seven cameras, allowing you to control the seven cameras with the same personal computer. Be sure to use the address set command to set the address whenever a camera is connected for the first time.

    In case that any device having different setting is connected in a daisy chain, the devices do not operate correctly. Overview of VISCA Fig. 1 VISCA daisy chain connection In VISCA, the device outputting the commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, while the VISCA Controller VISCA Equipment device receiving the commands, such as this unit, is called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS- 232/RS-422 standard. The parameters of RS-232/RS- 422 are as follows. • Communication speed: 9600 bps/38400 bps • Data bits : 8 • Start bit : 1 • Stop bit : 1 • Non parity Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is not supported. Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a one- direction ring, so that messages return to the controller via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network are assigned addresses. The device address is assigned to each device on the network. The address of the controller is fixed at 0............................................... VISCA is a protocol developed by Sony for controlling a consumer’s camcorder. “VISCA” is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
  • Page 24 Command List 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 SRG assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is 81h in hexadecimal. The packet sent to the SRG assigned address 2 is 82h. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the SRG to X. The header of the reply packet from the SRG assigned address 1 is 90h. The packet from the SRG assigned address 2 is A0h. Some of the setting commands for SRG can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast)*. In the case of broadcast, the header should be 88h in hexadecimal. When the terminator is FFh, it signifies the end of the packet. * The broadcast function is not available for VISCA over IP.
