PrecisionHD 1080p12x

The information on this page applies to the PrecisionHD 1080p12x camera. The camera has DIP switches for video output format setting.
NOTE: The early shipments of the Quick Set C20 came with
an interim version of the PrecisionHD 1080p4x camera (the PrecisionHD 1080p4x* camera). The interim version has DIP switches for video output format setting, see the table on this page.
Video output formats
The DIP switches 1 to 5 sets the video output format for the camera. The DIP switches are located under the camera. The default setting is Auto, see the table to the right.
Maximum resolution:
• 1080p60 for PrecisionHD 1080p12x zoom
• 1080p30 for PrecisionHD 1080p4x* zoom
• 1080p30 for HD-SDI**

Line voltage frequency

The camera will automatically detect the line voltage frequency when it is 50 or 60 Hz. If there is a dierent line voltage, you can set the video output format to a specic value (use the DIP switches) to override the auto frequency detection.

Daisy chaining of the PrecisionHD 1080p12x

A single daisy chain with PrecisionHD 1080p12x can have:
• Three cameras when using Codec C60.
• Seven cameras when using Codec C90.
Locate the Extra Camera and Power connectors.
• Power. The rst camera in the chain is
powered up from the codec by the VISCA camera control cable. Additional cameras must use the 12V DC Power in.
• Extra camera cable. The daisy chained
cameras are connected by using the VISCA Extra Camera cable (maximum length 20 m / 65.6 ft) between the Extra Camera In and Codec Control In sockets.
• HDMI and HD-SDI. The HDMI and HD-SDI
outputs can be used simultaneously on the same camera.

Controlling cameras using the VISCA™ protocol

The information in this chapter applies to:
• PrecisionHD Camera 1080p12x
• PrecisionHD Camera 1080p4x
• PrecisionHD Camera 1080p4xS2
NOTE: Some of the VISCA™ commands do not apply to the
PrecisionHD 1080p4x/4xS2 cameras. You will nd these commands marked with a * (star) throughout this section.
INFORMATON: The VISCA™ commands for PrecisionHD
720p camera is found in the MXP Reference User Guide for System Integrators. Go to:
telepresence/docs
The camera uses an RS-232 control interface that resembles the Sony VISCA™ protocol. The VISCA protocol (VIdeo System Control Architecture) is a Sony protocol for synchronized control of multiple video peripherals.
VISCA™ is a trademark of Sony Corporation
http://www.cisco.com/go/
RS–232 Parameters
At startup, the communication parameters for the RS–232 interface must be set to:
• 9600 bits per second
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No hardware ow control
• No software ow control
All the RS–232 parameters except speed are xed and not user congurable. The speed may be changed by issuing the Speed command dened on the following pages.
All control bytes are pure binar y information, i.e. the control bytes are not ASCII-encoded.

RS–232 Commands and inquiries

A list of all the available commands and inquiries together with the result and comments are found in the table on the following pages.

The VISCA™/RS–232 control protocol

The codec is using the Sony Visa protocol to control the cameras.
Interfacing the camera
When interfacing to the camera the codec uses an RS-232 control interface that resembles the Sony VISCA™ protocol.
Supported cameras
The following Cisco PrecisionHD cameras are supported:
• PrecisionHD 1080p12x
• PrecisionHD 1080p4x
• PrecisionHD 1080p4xS2
Currently there is support for detection of the following third party cameras:
• Sony HD1
• Sony HD7

VISCA message format

A particular command is recognized by the message information after the address byte.
Message Format
Commands are initiated from the host (i.e. the codec or any other external controller) to the camera.
After a camera has been issued a command, the camera will generate a response. Commands and responses (messages) have the following format:
• Address byte (1)
• Message bytes (1..14)
• Terminator byte (1)
See the illustration for details.
The RS232 Message format
Packet (3 to 16 bytes)
Message (1 to 14 bytes)Address
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3
Terminator
FF
...
1 0
LSB
Sender’s address
The minimum length of any command or response is 3 bytes:
1. Address byte (1): Let us assume there is one host, i.e. the codec (the host is the unit
controlling the camera). The host has address 0. The four least signicant bits of the address byte contain the address of the receiver. In the case of a broadcast message, the receiver address must be set to 8. When we are operating a single camera, the address is 1. Hence, address bytes in messages from the host are 0x81, and messages from the camera to the host are 0x90 (the protocol allows for up to 7 cameras).
2. Message bytes (1..14): Any number of bytes containing the actual message information. Bytes
may have any value in the range 0...254. The value 255 (i.e. hexadecimal FF) is reserved for the terminating byte.
3. Terminator byte (1): All messages must be terminated with a byte containing all 1’s, i.e.
decimal 255 (or hexadecimal FF).
Receiver’s
address
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
LSB
Command and response exchange
When the camera receives a command, it responds with either:
• Completion message: 90-5Y-FF
Returned by camera when execution of commands and inquiries are completed.
• Error packets: 90-6Y-..-FF
Returned by camera instead of a completion message when command or inquiry failed to be executed.
• General error messages, unless otherwise
specied:
• 90-6Y-01-FF Message length error
(>14 b y te s )
• 90-6Y-02-FF Syntax error
• 90-6Y-03-FF Command buer full
• 90-6Y-04-FF Command cancelled
• 90-6Y-05-FF No socket (to be
cancelled)
• 90-6Y-41-FF Command not executable
• Y = socket number
A camera may contain two buers so that two commands, including the command being executed, can be received.
NOTE: The PrecisionHD 1080p
camera supports a single socket only. Consequently, the Y always assumes the value Y = 0.
Exceptions to these rules:
• An Initialize message will respond as
indicated in the Table of Commands (this message is in fact a broadcast message, and any unit other than the host receiving the broadcast message must pass it on).
• Do not route commands or replies that
are longer than 16 bytes through Sony cameras. The easiest way to avoid this is to put the Cisco cameras rst in the chain. Commands and replies that are longer than 16 bytes are clearly marked below.

Software upload commands

The CRC algorithm used, is the same as in the XModem protocol. CRC for the last data packet is only calculated for the actual data bytes in the packet. Pad last packet with 0x00 so that the data section is 256 bytes long. The PacketID counter starts at 0.

NOTE: The information on this page applies to PrecisionHD
Camera 1080p12x only.

Video mode selection

The DIP switch selection has priority over the selection made by the CAM_Video_Format command. If the DIP switch is set to auto, the CAM_Video_Format setting will be used. If both are set to auto, resolution will be controlled automatically by EDID.

DIP Switch settings

Switches are numbered 1 to 5. The VISCA column shows the value that must be used when using the CAM_Video_Format command.
NOTE: The DIP switches are only read by the SW at startup/
boot. So if the DIP switches are changed the camera must be rebooted.
If an undened mode is selected, the output will default to auto.

The table shows the dierent settings available for the HDMI and the HD-SDI outputs.
Auto: Camera negotiates format over HDMI. HD-SDI tracks HDMI and defaults to 1080p30 in absence of HDMI sync.
Software: Used when controlling cameras using the VISCA protocol.
