    If you do not have camera control software it is quite straight-forward to write your own. Below is a simple example application on how to send VISCA commands from a Windows PC to the HE2K-MINI-RPS. The following example code connects to the TCP socket of the unit and is capable of sending several VISCA commands to the unit.
