Abstract Your system can control a Sony Camera via CNA-1 (RCP- mode configured) with SSCP. CNA-1 is a network point that works as a “Protocol converter”. It acts as an entrance to the Sony Camera Network System (CNS). Your system...

Device No. Configuration for CNA-1 In this case, Device number of CNA-1 must be set to different number from RCPs connected to the network. CNA-1 will be recognized as one of RCP and CNA-1’s Device number is handled as RCP number in CNS.

CNA-1’s Device number is handled as CCU number in CNS. CNA-1’s Device number is set to (3). Therefore, MSU can find CNA-1 as Camera (3) and also RCP (3) can control CNA-1 as Camera (3).
• Do not operate CNA-1 with USB flash drive. USB flash drive is development use only. CNA-1 can record system event log and SSCP command log. Log processing with USB flash drive may interfere with This utility function assists you to develop and validate CNA-1’s SSCP connection if an inserted USB flash drive...

Panel Active command and your system’s Panel Active state should be controlled by the CNS Master device because CNA-1 behaves in the same way as the Sony Control Panel in RCP-mode. In a single connection (CNA-1 configured Bridge mode of CNS setting), the permission control is managed by CNA-1 itself.

Your system has to wait 50msec or more if your system requires responses from Camera/CCU. Session switching by “Camera Select” command takes several tens of milliseconds to ready to setup session between CNA-1 and Camera/CCU. Address Selector command Format: Add an attribute to control a command destination.
RCP Assignment control (HZC-RACN1) Overview RCP assignment function is for managing the assignment between RCP and Camera on Sony Camera Network System (CNS). You can get their assignment status and change them. This chapter explains how the SSCP commands work with RCP assignment by showing some concrete examples.
“01”: RCP Status which is represented by bit CNS Master device, you need one Master device in you CNS, info. and the task of CMD-GP 0x6d is communication with Master bit 1: 0 = Assignment is default, 1 = device. Assignment has been changed bit 0: 0 = not Available, 1 = Available Each command in this group is distinguished by PARAM0.
Commands to get Camera status information Receive: “6d,89,05,fe,01,01,00,01\n” Reply from Master is: Camera No.1 is available. There are four kinds of commands to get Camera status information from CNS Master device. Each kind has request 2. Request status of Camera No.1, Camera No.2 and Camera command and reply command.
Receive: Example: “6d,8b,26,fe,0c,01,00,01,02,00,00,03,00,00,04,00,0 1. Request status of RCP No.1. 1,05,00,00,06,00,00,07,00,00,08,00,00,09,00,00,0a, Send: “6d,4d,05,fe,12,01,00,01\n” 00,00,0b,00,00,0c,00,00\n” Receive: “6d,8d,08,fe,12,01,00,01,fe,01,01\n” Reply from Master is: Reply from Master is: There are 12 Cameras. RCP No.1 is assigned to Camera No.1, its assignment is Camera No.1 and No.4 are available, and others are not default and it is available.
Parameters: “fe”: Fixed value. No other value is permitted. DLEN: Data length after “[DLEN]” CAM No.: Camera to which you want to assign, “fe,12”: Fixed value. No other value is permitted. “01”-“60” (1-96 in Decimal), “00”=None NUM: Number of parameters on this “00,00”: Fixed value.
