Introduction
You may already be familiar with the administrator guides
for the Profiles and Codec C–series. To help you find
the information you need, TANDBERG has split the
information into smaller and more accessible parts listed
on the right of this page.
The purpose of this document
The purpose of this document is to describe the camera
matters specific to the PrecisionHD 1080p/720p
cameras, used together with the TANDBERG endpoints.
The guide is mainly focused on the PrecisionHD 1080p
12X/4X cameras, which are used together with the Profile
42”/52”/65”, the QuickSet C20/C20plus and the Codec
C–series. Some information about the PrecisionHD 720p
is also included.

Video output formats
NOTE: The information on this page applies to the PrecisionHD
1080p 12X/4X camera, and describes how to set the DIP switches
1–5 to configure the camera for dif ferent video output formats.
DIP switch settings for video output formats
The DIP switch sets the video output format for the camera. The
DIP switch is on the underside of the camera. The default setting
is Auto. See the table to the right.
• Maximum resolution for HDMI is:
• 1080p60 for PrecisionHD 1080p 12X zoom
• 1080p30 for PrecisionHD 1080p 4X zoom
• Maximum resolution for HD-SDI* is 1080p30.
Line voltage frequency
The camera will automatically detect the line voltage frequency
when it is 50 or 60 Hz. If there is a different line voltage, you
can set the video output format to a specific value (use the DIP
switches) to override the auto frequency detection.
Set the PrecisionHD 1080p DIP switch (country specific setting):
• 50Hz: 00011, gives 1080p50 (720p50 for HD-SDI)
• 60Hz: 00100, gives 1080p60 (720p60 for HD-SDI)

Daisy chaining of the
PrecisionHD 1080p
12X/4X
A single daisy chain with PrecisionHD 1080p
12X can have:
• Three cameras when using Codec C60.
• Seven cameras when using Codec C90.
The PrecisionHD 1080p 4X has daisy chain
support, but can only be in the end of a chain.
Locate the Extra Camera and Power
connectors.
• Power. The first 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.

12X/4X camera
Controlling cameras using the VISCA™ protocol
NOTE: The information in this chapter applies to the TANDBERG
PrecisionHD 1080p 12X/4X camera.
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
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 flow control
• No software flow control
All the RS–232 parameters except speed are fixed and not user configurable. The speed may be
changed by issuing the Speed command defined on the following pages.
All control bytes are pure binary 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
When interfacing to the PrecisionHD 12X/4X
1080p, the codec uses an RS-232 control
interface that resembles the Sony VISCA™
protocol.
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 by te (1)
• Message bytes (1..14)
• Terminator byte (1)
See the illustration for details.
The RS232 Message format

Message (1 to 14 bytes)Address
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3
Terminator

Sender’s
address

Receiver’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 significant 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).

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
specified:
• 90-6Y-01-FF Message length error
(>14 bytes)
LSB
• 90-6Y-02-FF Syntax error
• 90-6Y-03-FF Command buffer 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 buffers 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
TANDBERG cameras first in the chain.
Commands and replies that are longer than
16 bytes are clearly marked below.

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
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 star tup/boot.
So if the DIP switches are changed the camera must be rebooted.
If an undefined mode is selected, the output will default to auto.
