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 a BRC-X1000/H800/

H780 seven peripheral devices including this unit can be connected to a single controller using communication conforming to the RS-422 standard. The parameters of RS-422 are as follows.

• Communication speed: 9600 bps/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.

, is called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to

Note

In the same network, all the camera address selectors should be set to “0” (automatic setting) or all the selectors should be manually set to “1” to “7”. Do not mix the automatic and manual settings. Each VISCA equipment has VISCA IN and VISCA OUT connectors. Set the DTR input (the S output of the controller) of VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment from the controller.

VISCA Controller

VISCA Equipment

OUT

Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a onedirection ring, so that messages return to the controller via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network are assigned addresses. The address of the controller is fixed at 0. The addresses of peripheral devices are as follows.

When the camera address selector is set to 0 (automatic setting mode)

The peripheral devices are assigned to the addresses, 1, 2, 3… in the connected order, starting from the one connected nearest to the controller. These addresses are set when the controller sends address commands during initialization of the network.

When the camera address selector is set to 1 through 7 (manual setting mode)

The addresses of the peripheral devices will be set to the pre-selected numbers. Within a single system, the same number can be used only once. If an address switch is used in a setting other than 0, set the address switch on this connected unit to different numbers.

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 unit (address 1) from the controller (address 0) is 81H in hexadecimals. Packet sent to the unit (address 2)

Packet (3 to 16 bytes)

is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the unit to X. The header of the reply packet from the unit assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the unit assigned address 2 is A0H. Some of the setting commands can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast) *. In the case of broadcast, the header should be 88H in hexadecimal. When the terminator is FFH, it signifies the end of the packet.

* The broadcast function is not available for VISCA over IP.

Timing Chart

As VISCA command processing can only be carried out a maximum of one time in a Vertical (V) cycle, it takes maximum 4V-cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be returned. If the Command and ACK/Completion communication time is shorter than 1V-cycle time, a command can be received at every 1V cycle. From this point, if two or more commands are to be sent successively, wait for a reply command (an ACK or error message for a general command, and an inquiry packet for an inquiry command) of the previous command to be received before sending the next command.

1V= 16.7 msec (1080/59.94p, 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p),

Responses for commands and inquiries

• ACK message

Returned by the unit when it receives a command. No ACK message is returned for an inquiry.

• Completion message

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

* Locked to “X = 9” for VISCA over IP.

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the unit, it is normal to send the next command message after receiving the completion message or error message. However, to deal with advanced uses, the unit has two sets of buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received. (There is a wait longer than a 1V cycle between commands.) However, depending on the command, it may be necessary to wait until the first command is completed due to system reasons. When the unit receives commands, it notifies which command buffer was used using the socket number of ACK message. As the completion message or error message also has a socket number, it indicates which command has ended. Even when two command buffers are being used, the unit management command and some inquiry messages can be executed. The ACK message is not returned for these commands and inquiries, and only the completion message of socket number 0 is returned.

Command execution cancel

To cancel a command which has already been sent, send a Cancel command as the next command. To cancel one of two commands which have been sent, use the cancel message.

VISCA interface command

• IF_Clear

Clears the command buffer in the unit. When cleared, the operation currently being executed is not guaranteed.

Error message “Command cancelled” will be returned for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has been cancelled.

Note

To cancel a command when VISCA PAN-TILT Drive (page 17) is being executed, wait at least 200 msec after executing. Then send a cancel command to ensure that PAN-TILT Drive stops effectively. To execute a PAN-TILT Drive command again, wait at least 200 msec after the message “Command cancelled” has appeared.

VISCA over IP

Overview of VISCA over IP

With VISCA over IP function, you can control the camera using VISCA on a controller equipped with IP communication capabilities via LAN. You can connect up to 5 controllers simultaneously on the network.

VISCA Controller

VISCA Equipment

OUT

The communication specifications of VISCA over IP are as follows:

• Interface

RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX (automatically identifying)

• Internet protocol

IPv4

• Transport protocol

UDP

•IP address

Set by the IP card setting command (page 34)

• Port address

52381

• Delivery confirmation/Retransmission control

Depends on the application

In these instructions, the device outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, and the device receiving the command, such as a BRC series camera, is called a peripheral device. The controllers and peripheral devices are connected to a one-direction ring conforming to RS-422 standards. On the IP communication connection, the controllers and peripheral devices are connected by bus through a LAN.

IP communication connection

While the IP communication connection, the address of each device cannot be set in the VISCA message as it is because the controllers and peripheral devices that are connected simultaneously are increased. In this case, addresses of the controllers and peripheral devices that are set in the VISCA message are locked to 0 (for the controller) or 1 (for the peripheral device).

Page 10

Due to the nature of the IP communication, the use of some VISCA functions are limited. For details, see “Camera IP Setting Command” on page 34.

For how to set an IP address of the camera, refer to “Camera IP Setting Command” on page 34.

Communication method of VISCA over IP

Communication method

VISCA over IP can process the VISCA communication between the controllers and peripheral devices using the messages that can be identified on the LAN, and sends/ receives them. Because of this, VISCA over IP is not concerned about the contents of the communication between the controllers and peripheral devices. However, the VISCA communication sequence is different, depending on the types, as follows.

VISCA device setting command

This is the device setting command from the controller to the peripheral device as follows.

• Address

Sets the address of the peripheral device, and does not return a reply to the controller. While using VISCA over IP, the address command is not sent from the controller because a Network Change command from the peripheral device that triggers sending command is not issued.

•IF_Clear

Sends the reply message to the controller after clearing, without using VISCA socket.

• CAM_VersionInq

Sends the reply message to the controller, without using VISCA socket.

Format

These are the specifications of the message header (8 bytes) and payload (1 to 16 bytes).

VISCA command

This is a command from the controller to the peripheral device. When the peripheral device receives this command, ACK is returned. After completing command processing, a completion notice is returned. This command uses the socket of VISCA. The order of completion notices may be changed if the multiple commands are sent to the same peripheral device.

VISCA inquiry

This is an inquiry from the controller to the peripheral device. When the peripheral device receives this type of command, the reply for the inquiry is returned. This command does not use the socket of VISCA. The order of the replies is not changed if a multiple commands are sent.

VISCA reply

This is an ACK, completion notice, reply, or error reply from the peripheral device to the controller. The classification for sending messages from the peripheral device to the controller is common.

Control command 0x02 0x00 Stores the control command.

Control reply 0x02 0x01 Stores the reply for the control command.

0x01 0x20 Stores the VISCA device setting command.

Payload length

Stores the number of bytes (1 to 16) of data is stored on the payload.

Example: When the payload length is 16 bytes.

Byte 2: 0x00 Byte 3: 0x10

Sequence number

The controller stores the sequence number that is added every time a message is sent. If the sequence number reaches the limit, next value will be 0. The peripheral device saves the sequence number in the message from the controller, and stores the sequence number of the received message corresponding to the message sent to the controller.

Payload

Depending on the payload type, the following are stored.

• VISCA command

Stores the packet of the VISCA command.

• VISCA inquiry

Stores the packet of VISCA message.

• VISCA reply

Stores the reply for the command or inquiry (ACK message, completion message, or error message).

• VISCA device setting command

Stores the packet of the VISCA device setting command.

• Control command

The following are stored on the payload division of the control command.

Name Value Description

RESET 0x01 Resets the sequence number

to 0. The value that was set as the sequence number is ignored.

ERROR 0x0Fyy yy=01: Abnormality in the

sequence number.

• Controlled reply

The following are stored on the payload division of the reply for the control command.

Message Value Description

ACK 0x01 Reply for RESET.

Page 12

Delivery confirmation

VISCA over IP uses UDP as a communications protocol of the transport layer. Delivery of messages is not guaranteed for the UDP communication. Delivery confirmation and retransmission should be performed on the application.

Normally, when the controller sends a message to the peripheral device, the controller sends the new message after receiving the reply for the last message. You can confirm delivery of messages by managing the time-out waiting for a reply message sent.

If time out occurs on the controller, loss of one of the following messages is considered:

• Command

• ACK message

• Completion message for the command

• Inquiry

• Reply message for the inquiry

• Error message

• Inquiry of the VISCA device setting command

• Reply message of the VISCA device setting command

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.)

The BRC series camera has 2 buffers (memories) for the command to deal with advanced uses. When using VISCA over IP, up to 2 commands (including the current command) can be received. Depending on the message from the controller to the peripheral device, there are some messages that do not need to guarantee delivery. However, the peripheral device receives commands from multiple controllers while connected to VISCA over IP. If the multiple commands are send without waiting for the reply, the possibility of non-execution of the command and errors due to buffer overflow become high, because of limitations of order to receive commands or execution interval of command. It may cause efficiency to be reduced substantially.

Limitation

The following are limitations for VISCA over IP as compared with the VISCA specifications.

Locking the peripheral device’s address of the VISCA message to 1

VISCA over IP cannot reflect each address to the address of the VISCA message because up to 112 peripheral devices and 5 controllers are connected. Because of this, the peripheral device’s address of VISCA command is locked to 1 when using VISCA over IP. If the peripheral device’s address is set to other than 1 for the VISCA command, the peripheral device works without hindrance since the peripheral device recognizes that its address is set to 1.

Expiration time for an on status of the tally lamp

The tally lamp is turned off if not receiving an on command from any controller for 15 seconds after receiving an on command of Cmd_Tally.
