Disposal

For EU Customers only - WEEE Marking

This symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product must not be disposed of
with your other household waste. Instead, it is your

1. Introduction

The BC-80 Block Camera is a small HD camera with an infra-red remote
control. It can be used for HD high quality shooting in an environment
where space is limited. The image resolution is 1920x1080. The BC-80
provides 30x optical focus, and the image output interfaces are SDI and
HDMI. A tally light indicator sits above the BC-80 camera lens. The
control protocol supports SONY VISCA so that the camera can be
controlled via RS-422 or DVIP interface.

1.1 Features

• HD Resolution: 1/2.8" High Definition 2.0 M Pixels progressive

CMOS sensor

• 30x optical zoom

• High definition formats supported:

1080/ 59.94p, 1080/ 50p, 1080/ 59.94i, 1080/ 29.97p, 1080/
25p, 1080/ 50i, 720/ 59.94p, 720/50p

• Digital Noise Reduction Function (DNR) to reduce the noise and

enable clearer image under low light conditions.

• Video Output: SDI + HDMI synchronously.

• Tally LED Design (RS-422/ DVIP Operation)

• Supports SONY VISCA Protocol

• Supports DVIP Control Protocol

clearer.

Aperture

Aperture adjusts the image sharpness.
Increasing the aperture setting so that the
foreground and background of your images
appear sharp.

Vivid Effect

Vivid effect adjusts the color saturation which
is basically the intensity of color in an image.

Pedestal Effect

The pedestal effect enables exposure
compensation which will engage the iris or
auto gain control depending on the shooting
situation. For best results we recommend
setting the pedestal effect to 4 or 5. The
pedestal effect allows the camera to brighten
up the image captured as you zoom in.

7.2 Control Operation Guide

7.2.1 Overview of VISCA

In VISCA, the side outputting commands, for example a computer, is
called the controller, while the side receiving the commands, such as
the BC-80, is called the peripheral device. The BC-80 serves as a
peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices
like the BRC-300/P can be connected to one controller using
communication conforming to the RS-232C/RS-422 standard. The
parameters of RS-232C/RS-422 are as follows.

GND

31

• Communication speed: 38400 bps

• Data bits: 8

• Start bit: 1

• Stop bit: 1

• Non parity

Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is not supported.
The address of the controller is fixed at 0.
The addresses of peripheral devices are described as follows.

When the address of the controller is fixed at 0
The addresses of the peripheral devices are 1, 2, 3… in order, starting
from the one nearest the controller. The address of the peripheral
device is set by sending address commands during the initialization of
the network.

When the address of the controller is fixed at 1 through 7
The addresses of the peripheral devices will be set on a pre-selected
number. Within a single system, the same number can be used only
once. If an address-switch number other than 0 is to be used, change
the BC-80 address switch to a different number beforehand.

Each VISCA device has a VISCA IN and VISCA OUT connector.
Set the DTR input (the S output of the controller) of VISCA IN to H
when controlling VISCA equipment from the controller.

Fig. 1 VISCA network configuration

7.2.2 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. For example, the header of the packet sent

to the BC-80 assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is
hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the BC-80 assigned address 2 is
82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the
BC-80 at X. The header of the reply packet from the BC-80 assigned
address 1 is 90H. The packet from the BC-80 assigned address 2 is A0H.

Some of the commands for setting BC-80 units can be sent to all
devices at one time (broadcast). In the case of broadcast, the header
should be hexadecimal 88H.

When the terminator is FFH, it signifies the end of the packet.

Fig. 2 shows the packet structure, while Fig. 3 shows the actual
waveform. Data flow will take place with the LSB first.

Timing Chart

As VISCA Command processing can only be carried out one time in a
Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum 1V cycle time for an
ACK/Completion to be returned. If the Command ACK/Completion
communication time can be cut shorter than the 1V cycle time, then
every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

From this point, if 2 or more commands in a row are to be sent, wait
for the first command (for normal commands, an ACK or an error

34

message, for query commands, an Inquiry Packet) to be carried out
before sending the next one.

Command and inquiry

• Command

Sends operational commands to the BC-80.

• Inquiry

Used for inquiring about the current state of the BC-80.

Command Packet

Note

Inquiry

8X QQ RR … FF

QQ1) = Command/Inquiry
RR2) = category code

1)

QQ = 01 (Command), 09 (Inquiry)

2)

RR = 00 (Interface), 04 (camera 1), 06 (Pan/Tilter)

X = 1 to 7: BC-80 address

Responses for commands and inquiries

• ACK message

Returned by the BC-80 when it receives a command. No ACK message
is returned for inquiries.

• Completion message

Returned by the BC-80 when execution of commands or inquiries is
completed. In the case of inquiry commands, it will contain reply data
for the inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the ACK message is
omitted, the socket number will contain a 0.

X = 9 to F: BC-80 address + 8

• Error message

When a command or inquiry command could not be executed or failed,
an error message is returned.

X0 6Y 41 FF

Command not executable

X = 9 to F: BC-80 address + 8, Y = socket number
Socket number = 1 (normal)

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the BC-80, it is normal to send
the next command message after waiting for the completion message
or error message to return.

As the completion message or error message also has a socket number,
it indicates which command has ended.

The ACK message is not returned for these commands and inquiries,
and only the completion message of socket number 0 is returned.

7.2.3 VISCA Device Setting Command

Before starting control of the BC-80, be sure to send the Address
command and the IF_Clear command using the broadcast function.

VISCA interface command

• IF_Clear
Clears the command buffers in the BC-80 and cancels the command
currently being executed.
