Overview of Functions
VISCA commands are the basis of camera control.
Timing Chart
As VISCA Command processing can only be carried
out one time in a Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum
1V cycle time for an Acknowledge/Completion to be
returned.
If the Command Acknowledge/Completion
communication time can be cut shorter than the 1V
cycle time, then every 1V cycle can receive a
Command.

In general
P ower On/Off
Powers the camera on and off. When the power is off,
the camera is able to accept only the lowest level of
VISCA Commands; the display and other features are
turned off.
I /F Clear
Clears the Command buffer of the FCB camera.
Clearing the buffer can also be carried out from the
control application software when the power is on.
A ddress Set
VISCA is a protocol, which normally supports a daisy
chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232C
interface. In such cases, the address set command can
be used to assign addresses from 1 to 7 to each of the
seven cameras, allowing you to control the seven
cameras with the same personal computer.
Although the FCB camera does not support direct
connection of cameras in a daisy chain, be sure to use
the address set command to set the address whenever
a camera is connected for the first time.
I D Write
