Camera Control

Camera parameters such as video format, zoom, focus, iris, and shutter are set with VISCA commands. The board carries them over either of two interfaces, each enabled by its own switch — see Pinout Details for the switch settings.

USBJ8USB
UART TTLJ7SW2

Warning

Only one of the two switches may be ON at a time. Set the other to OFF before sending commands.

Windows

The first time the board is connected, install the driver as required. The board enumerates as a virtual COM port, and a new COM port appears under Device Manager.

Use serial communication software such as H-Term or PuTTY to send VISCA commands.

Linux

The board enumerates as a device under /dev/ttyACMx, where x is the device number.

Example Setup and Commands

Configure the port:

stty 9600 -F /dev/ttyACMx

Send a zoom-in command:

echo -en '\x81\x01\x04\x07\x02\xFF' > /dev/ttyACMx

Send a zoom-out command:

echo -en '\x81\x01\x04\x07\x03\xFF' > /dev/ttyACMx
