VISCA is a protocol, which normally supports a daisy chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232C General Commands 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. Although the FCB camera does not support direct connection of cameras in a daisy chain, be sure to use the address set command to set the address whenever...
