High Sensitivity Mode Low-Illumination Chroma Suppress Mode In this mode, higher sensitivity gain is applied as You can configure a chroma suppress mode for low- standard gain increases, reaching a gain level at MAX illumination conditions. This can be useful when color gain of up to 4x the standard gain.

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. The value of the header is fixed as 81h, as only one camera can be operated from the controller via the RS-422 connection for this camera.

If time out occurs on the controller, you can infer the lost message and state of the peripheral device by retransmitting the message using the same sequence number. The following table shows the received message and status by retransmission of the lost message, and the reference of correspondence after retransmission for each case. (Except for the case that a time out occurs for reasons other than loss of message.) Lost message Received message for...
