General Operation
After power is applied, Right indicator LED will light up, wait 5 seconds, until the Main
Menu appears in the CCU Screen.
DVI is disabled when USB is connected. The Image is transmitted through USB to the
PC, not the DVI port.
MicroSD card is used to save images. High speed card required.
If faster response time is needed operate in 720p with Zoom On (crop mode) rather than
Off (scale mode). Scale mode still reads the whole sensor array thus running as if in
1080p.
Settings changes will be saved automatically on power down. If any parameter is
changed a back step in menu is required for it to be saved on power down.

Communication Specifications:
Each command or inquiry packet is made up of 8 bytes. The first byte will contain the target address
followed by command or inquiry action byte, command byte, command modifier byte, three data bytes,
followed by the end byte. The address will be either 0x42 for functions handled by the camera, or 0x43
for commands handled by the CCU. The action byte will be either 0x01 for a command or 0x09 for an
inquiry. The command byte will specify which parameter or action is to be modified, taken, or inquired
about. The command modifier byte determines what changes are made to the parameter specified in the
command byte as defined below. The data bytes contain the values for the parameters to be set at
during a direct command. The end byte is always 0xff to signify the end of a packet.

Responses:
Command execution information will be stored in byte 2 of the response packet, and will be as follows:
50 = command executed
60 = command could not be executed
61 = no camera head detected
All other bytes of response will be an echo of the code received by the CCU. Improper inquiries will
return a value of 60 in the 2nd byte, and other bytes of the response packet will be an echo of the data
sent.
A response to an inquiry will have the requested data stored in the three data bytes of the response
packet. All other bytes will be an echo of the inquiry packet that was sent.
The CCU will wait for the response packet to be sent before accepting any new commands.
