Overview

About This Document

This document describes the specifications of

the VISCA command, CGI command, and RTSP

streaming of Sony color video camera SRG-A40,

SRG-A12. In this document, the product is

referred to as “the cameras.”

VISCA

VISCA1) is a protocol developed by Sony for

controlling a consumer’s camcorder.

Overview of VISCA

In VISCA, the side outputting commands, such as

a computer, is called the controller, while the side

receiving the commands, such as a SRG-A40/

A122), is called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up

to seven peripheral devices including 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

•Startbit:1

•Stopbit:1

•Nonparity

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.

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 the packet 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 hexadecimals. 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.

Fig. 2 Packet structure

Note

Fig. 2 shows the packet structure, while Fig. 3 shows the actual waveform. Data flow will take place with

the LSB first.

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)

Command and inquiry

•Command

Sends operational commands to the camera.

•Inquiry

Used for inquiring about the current state of

the camera.

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.

•Error message

When a command or inquiry command could

not be executed or failed, an error message is

returned instead of a completion message.

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.

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.

Error message “Command Canceled” 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 18) 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 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.

The communication specifications of VISCA over

IP are as follows:

•Interface

RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T

(automatically identifying)

• Internet protocol

IPv4

• Transport protocol

UDP

• IP address

Set by the IP setting command (page 29)

•Portaddress

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 an SRG series camera, is

called a peripheral device. The controllers and

peripheral devices are connected like a one-

direction ring on the RS-422 connection, but on

the IP communication connection, the

controllers and peripheral devices are connected

by bus through a LAN.

RS422 connection

IP communication connection

While the IP communication connection, the

address of each device cannot be set in the

VISCA message as 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).

Network

Due to the nature of the IP communication, the

use of some VISCA functions are limited. For

details, see “Limitation” on page 13.

For how to set an IP address of the camera, see

“Camera IP Setting Command” on page 29.

Communication Method of VISCA

over IP

Communication method

VISCA over IP can process the VISCA

communication between the controllers and

peripheral devices into 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 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.

• 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 VISCA socket.

Format

These are the specifications of the message

header (8 bytes) and payload (1 to 16 bytes).

Message structure

Note

The actual LAN out method is big-endian, LSB

first.

Message (9 to 24 bytes)

Message header Payload (1 to 16 bytes)

Payload type Payload length Sequence number

Payload type

Stores the value (Byte 0 and Byte 1) of the following table on the payload division.

Payload length

Stores the number of bytes (1 to 16) of data that 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.

•VISCAreply

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.

• Controlled reply

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

Name Value (Byte 0) Value (Byte 1) Description

VISCA command 0x01 0x00 Stores the VISCA command.

VISCA inquiry 0x01 0x10 Stores the VISCA inquiry.

VISCA reply 0x01 0x11 Stores the reply for the VISCA command and VISCA

inquiry, or VISCA device setting command.

ERROR 0x0Fpp pp=01: Abnormality in the sequence number

pp=02: Abnormality in the message (message type)

Message Value Description

ACK 0x01 Reply for RESET.

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

•ACKmessage

• Completion message for the command

• Inquiry

• Reply message for the inquiry

•Errormessage

• 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 SRG 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

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.

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 of VISCA

command 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

Command 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.
