VISCA RS 232C Commands Use of RS 232C control software which has been developed based upon this command list may cause malfunction or damage to hardware and software Sony Corporation is not liable for any such damage 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 an EVI HDI is called the peripheral device The EVI HD1 serves as a peripheral device in VISCA In VISCA up to seven peripheral devices like the EVI HD1 can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS 232C standard The parameters of RS 232C are as follows Communication speed 9600 bps 38400 bps Data bits 8 e Start bit e 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 O The addresses of the peripheral devices are 1 2 3 in order starting from the one nearest the controller The address of the peripheral device is set by sending address commands during the initialization of the network es991 004000090009 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004000009000040Q4000900099909
