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.
* VISCA is a camera control protocol developed by Sony.
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
Set by the setup software (page 23)
• 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 camera, is called a
peripheral device.
IP communication connection
Due to the nature of the IP communication, the
use of some VISCA functions are limited. For
details, see "Limitations" (page 11).
For how to set an IP address of the camera, see
"Camera IP Setup Command" (page 23).
