1) When RS-232C terminal of personal
computer is D-sub 25 pin
Communication related settings of this unit are made in “MODE” and “SETTINGS” of the <RS-232C> screen. Perform
settings so that they are the same as the connecting modem or PC.
When remote controlling this unit from a PC, set “MODE” in the <RS-232C> screen to “REMOTE A” (status
condition change information is returned from the unit) or “REMOTE B” (status condition change information is not
returned from the unit).

■ Command code system
2 types of command codes of “direct operation specification” and “false operation panel” can be selected according to
the purpose of the unit.
■ Description of command code systems
♦ Direct operation specification
Control and settings are performed by checking execution, errors, etc., from the status returned from the unit for the
command sent from the PC. This command type is structured by operation setting type commands that sets operations
and menu setting type commands that directly sets various menus.
ENGLISH
• Input format
Operation setting type commands are to be sent from the PC for each operation such as power on/off, record, playback,
etc., for the unit.
Menu setting type commands are to be specified for each menu setting of the unit.
As a general rule, do not send commands continuously, but send the next command after checking that the present
command has been executed and completed.
• Response format
After sending a command, the following items can be checked from the status returned from the unit.
2) For operation setting type commands, the operation mode of the unit can be distinguished by the mode number of the
returned status.
Distinction cannot be made with menu setting type commands. (Mode number is notified only when there is change is
status.)
Example) Turn the Unit ON.

Meaning
Indicates POWER ON command has been sent.
Indicates that the unit has received a command.
EX : Indicates that a command has been executed.
#2
00 : Indicates that the execution was successful.
PW1 : Indicates response to POWER ON command.
03 : Indicates POWER ON status.
When the unit cannot execute the operation setting type command or menu setting command sent from a PC,
the content is displayed in the error type of the status returned from the unit. Check the error code and take
appropriate measures.
For control type commands such as record, playback, etc., the interval between command transmission and
the actual operation (command execution) may take some time. To prevent the gap between operation and actual
execution, read the status after sending the command and check the transition of the actual execution.
Operations can be specified from a PC as if operating the actual operation panel of the unit while viewing the output
video. Each command is a command type that corresponds to the operation button of the unit.
• Input confirmation type
Send commands as if operate the buttons, JOG dial and SHUTTLE ring of the operation panel. As a general rule, do not
send commands continuously , but send the next command after checking that the present command has been executed
and completed. After sending a command, the command execution result, error type and command name can be checked
by the status returned from the unit. To check the actual execution, view the output screen of the unit on the monitor
screen.
Example) Recorded data is played back using still-frames.

When using shuttle operation commands, be sure to send the shuttle center command after sending the
operation command. Otherwise, the shuttle operation will be kept until the shuttle center command is sent.
For control type commands such as record, playback, etc., the interval between command transmission and
the actual operation (command execution) may take some time. To prevent the gap between operation and actual
execution, read the status after sending the command and check the transition of the actual execution.
♦ Status condition change information function
Example) Status condition change information of system mode and POWER ON is issued.

indefinite.
Characters (character strings) inputted from a PC connected to this unit by RS-232C connection can be recorded as
comments along with the video/audio. Recorded comments can be displayed during playback. Furthermore, recorded
comments can be specified for search so that the video with the comment can be played back from the beginning.
1) Record character string “ABCDEF” as a comment along with the video. (When “DELIMITER” in the <RS-232C SETTING> screen is set to “CR”.)
The operation is performed on a PC.
1. Set the character (or characters string) to be recorded;
2. Record the selected character(s).
By using the COMS command, characters which have been set once can be recorded any number of times. To record a
different character set, use the COMD command.
Up to 32 characters can be inputted.
2) Display the recorded comment.
1. Select <SETTINGS> } “CAMERA DISPLAY” in the <TIME DATE/DISPLAY SETTINGS> screen. Display “COM-
MENT” and confirm.
The number of characters displayed on the screen : all 32 for single screen, first 10 for SPLIT4, and first 6 for
SPLIT9.
3) Skip to the scene with characters “ABCDEF”. (When “DELIMITER” in the <RS-232C SETTINGS> screen is set to
“CR”.)
The operation is performed on a PC.
After comment search, playback is performed using single screen display.
Comment search can be performed even when playback is stopped, during still frame playback, playback or
recording.
The unit will fast forward or rewind until it finds the character string, then shift into still frame mode.
ENGLISH
Comment searches may be time-consuming as the process involves searching through all the data.
If the unit does not find the character string, it will stop automatically.
