Overview
About This Document
This document describes the specifications of the VISCA command, CGI command, and RTSP streaming of the Sony BRC-AM7 color video camera. In this document, the products is referred to as the "camera."
VISCA
VISCA1) is a protocol developed by Sony for controlling a consumer's camcorder.
Overview of VISCA
In VISCA, the device outputting commands, such as a computer, is called the controller, and the device receiving the command, such as the BRC-AM72), is called a peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices including this using this camera 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.
Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a one-direction 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 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.
1) "VISCA" is a trademark of Sony Corporation. 2) The product name of this camera, "BRC-AM7 Color Video
Camera" is referred to as "the camera" in this document.

Note
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 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 camera (address 1) from the controller (address 0) is 81H in hexadecimal. Packet sent to the camera (address 2) is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the camera to X. The header of the reply packet from the camera assigned to address 1 is 90H. The packet from the camera assigned to 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), 20 msec (1080/50p, 1080/50i, 720/50p), 33.4 msec (2160/29.97p), 40 msec (2160/25p), 41.7 msec (1080/23.98p, 2160/23.98p)

For actual values to be sent, see Command Lists or Inquiry Command Lists.

Responses for commands and inquiries

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

· Completion message Returned by the camera 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. In the case of commands or inquiries that do not use sockets, the socket number will contain 0.

Socket number
When command messages are sent to the camera, it is normal to send the next command message after receiving the completion message or error message. However, to deal with advanced uses, the camera 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 camera 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 camera management command and inquiry messages can be executed. The ACK message is not returned for these commands and inquiries, and only the

5

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.
Cancel Packet Cancel 8X 2Z FF
X = 1 to 7: Address of the camera (Locked to "X = 1" for VISCA over IP) Z = socket number
Error message "Command Canceled" will be returned for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has been canceled.
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 Canceled" has appeared.

VISCA Device Setting Command
Before starting control of the camera, make sure to send the Address Set command and IF_Clear command using the broadcast.

For VISCA network administration

· Address Set* Sets an address of a peripheral device. Use when initializing the network, and receiving the following network change message.
* Not available for VISCA over IP.

· Network Change* Sent from the peripheral device to the controller when a device is removed from or added to the network. The address must be re-set when this message is received.

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 five controllers simultaneously on the network.
The communication specifications of VISCA over IP are as follows: · Interface
RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T (auto sensing) · Internet protocol IPv4 · Transport protocol UDP · IP address Value set by the setup software (page 28) · Port address 52381 · Delivery confirmation/Retransmission control Depends on the application
In these instructions, the device outputting commands, such as 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 unidirectional ring conforming to RS-422 standards. On the IP communication connection, the controllers and peripheral devices are connected by bus through a LAN.

RS422 connection

Network
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).
9

Due to the nature of the IP communication, the use of some VISCA functions are limited. For details, see "Limitations" (page 13).
For how to set an IP address of the camera, see "Camera IP Setup Command" (page 28).
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. To accommodate this, this function classifies each message for each operation sequence as follows.
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.
VISCA device setting command This is the device setting command from the controller to the peripheral device as follows. When the peripheral device receives this type of command, the command is activated. · Address Set
Sets the address of the peripheral device, and does not return a reply to the controller. While

using VISCA over IP, the Address Set 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 a VISCA socket.

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

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 cameras have 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.

Limitations
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.
Locking the controller's address of the VISCA message to 0 For the same reason as the peripheral device's address, the controller's address is locked to 0. If the controller's address is set to other than 0, the peripheral device works without hindrance, and the reply address from the peripheral device is always set to 0.
Prohibition of specifying the broadcast address for the VISCA message Do not use the broadcast address because it requires the serial communication. Operations under the broadcast address is set to the command are not guaranteed.
Prohibition of the Address Set for VISCA device setting command Do not use this command because it requires the serial communication. Operations under the Address Set command is sent are not guaranteed.
VISCA Network Change command is not supported This cannot be issued because it requires the serial communication.
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 TALLY ON/ OFF.

Press/Release Commands
The camera supports commands that imitate a button press and button release for functions that would be active while a button is pressed. The commands can also imitate a long press for buttons that support different operations when pressed and held. When a Press command is received, the operation starts. When a Release command is received, the operation stops. Always issue these commands in pairs. The standard for GUI buttons of the camera that support a long-press operation, unless otherwise noted, is 1 second or longer from receiving a Press command until receiving a Release command. Accordingly, to activate a long-press operation, make sure that the interval between receiving Press and Release commands is 1 second or longer. To avoid activating a long-press operation, issue the Press and Release commands in quick succession.

For details about the specific operation of each command, refer to the description of the corresponding button of the Web App in the Help Guide.

Multi Function Dial Command
This command controls the GUI cursor operation. CCW/CW move the GUI cursor, and Press/ Release commands apply the setting at the cursor position. Note that if a Press/Release pair is received on the shooting screen of the camera, direct menu operation starts. It is not represent a long-press operation. Also, you cannot select a face/eye detection frame or move the focus area using these commands.

Press/Release

Direct Menu Command
This command moves the cursor to a specified setup item in the direct menu of the camera. It can also be used to exit the direct menu. The movement destination depends on the interval between receiving Press/Release commands.

Camera IP Setup Command

The following command is provided for setting the IP address and camera name of a camera.

No. Name

Description

1

Setting Protocol: Controller inquires about the

Inquiry

network settings of the

camera.

2

Setting Protocol: Camera responds to the

Inquiry reply

inquiry from the controller.

3

Setting Protocol: Controller configures the

Network setting network settings of the

camera.

4 Setting Protocol: Camera responds to the

Network settings network settings from the

response

controller.

To set the network settings of a camera, use the following sequence. Connect the computer used for configuring to the same network segment as the cameras.
1 Inquiry The controller sends inquiry packets to UDP broadcast address (255.255.255.255) on the specified port number (52380). The camera responds using inquiry response packets.
2 Network settings The controller sends network setting packets to UDP broadcast address (255.255.255.255) on the specified port number (52380). The camera refers to the MAC address units in the packets and if the packets are a request to itself, the camera returns an acknowledgment (ACK) in the network settings response. If the camera configuration is unsuccessful, it returns NACK in the network settings response.

Notes
· Up to 8 characters comprising alphanumeric characters or spaces can be used for the camera name (NAME).
· When the WRITE data in the inquiry response is set to off, you cannot change the camera IP address and camera name in the network settings.
· After power to the camera is first turned on, WRITE is set to off automatically after 20 minutes, at which point the network settings are no longer accepted.
· You can also set WRITE to using a CGI command. When set to off using a CGI command, network settings will not be

28

accepted immediately after the power is turned on. After setting the IP address of the camera, you can prevent accidental changes by setting WRITE to off.
