Introduction

Introduction

You may already be familiar with the administrator guides for the Profiles and Codec C–series. To help you find the information you need, TANDBERG has split the information into smaller and more accessible parts listed on the right of this page.

The purpose of this document

The purpose of this document is to describe the camera matters specific to the PrecisionHD 1080p/720p cameras, used together with the TANDBERG endpoints.

The guide is mainly focused on the PrecisionHD 1080p

12X/4X cameras, which are used together with the Profile

42”/52”/65”, the QuickSet C20/C20plus and the Codec

C–series. Some information about the PrecisionHD 720p is also included.

NOTE: The information on this page applies to the PrecisionHD

1080p 12X/4X camera, and describes how to set the DIP switches

1–5 to configure the camera for different video output formats.

DIP switch settings for video output formats

The DIP switch sets the video output format for the camera. The

DIP switch is on the underside of the camera. The default setting is Auto. See the table to the right.

• Maximum resolution for HDMI is:

• 1080p60 for PrecisionHD 1080p 12X zoom

• 1080p30 for PrecisionHD 1080p 4X zoom

• Maximum resolution for HD-SDI* is 1080p30.

Line voltage frequency

The camera will automatically detect the line voltage frequency when it is 50 or 60 Hz. If there is a different line voltage, you can set the video output format to a specific value (use the DIP switches) to override the auto frequency detection.

Set the PrecisionHD 1080p DIP switch (country specific setting):

• 50Hz: 00011, gives 1080p50 (720p50 for HD-SDI)

• 60Hz: 00100, gives 1080p60 (720p60 for HD-SDI)

12X/4X

A single daisy chain with PrecisionHD 1080p

12X can have:

• Three cameras when using Codec C60.

• Seven cameras when using Codec C90.

The PrecisionHD 1080p 4X has daisy chain support, but can only be in the end of a chain.

Locate the Extra Camera and Power connectors.

• Power. The first camera in the chain is powered up from the codec by the VISCA camera control cable. Additional cameras must use the 12V DC Power in.

• Extra camera cable. The daisy chained cameras are connected by using the VISCA

Extra Camera cable (maximum length 20 m

/ 65.6 ft) between the Extra Camera In and

Codec Control In sockets.

• HDMI and HD-SDI. The HDMI and HD-SDI outputs can be used simultaneously on the same camera.

TANDBERG PrecisionHD 1080p

12X/4X camera

Controlling cameras using the VISCA™ protocol

NOTE: The information in this chapter applies to the TANDBERG

PrecisionHD 1080p 12X/4X camera.

The camera uses an RS-232 control interface that resembles the Sony VISCA™ protocol. The VISCA protocol ( VI deo S ystem

C ontrol A rchitecture) is a Sony protocol for synchronized control of multiple video peripherals.


Camera User Guide

Appendices

RS–232 Parameters

At startup, the communication parameters for the RS–232 interface must be set to:

• 9600 bits per second

• 8 data bits

• No parity

• 1 stop bit

• No hardware flow control

• No software flow control

All the RS–232 parameters except speed are fixed and not user configurable. The speed may be changed by issuing the Speed command defined on the following pages.

All control bytes are pure binary information, i.e. the control bytes are not ASCII-encoded.

RS–232 Commands and inquiries

A list of all the available commands and inquiries together with the result and comments are found in the table on the following pages.

D14640.01—MARCH 2010

Appendices

The VISCA™/RS–232 control protocol

When interfacing to the PrecisionHD 12X/4X

1080p, the codec uses an RS-232 control interface that resembles the Sony VISCA™ protocol.

The RS232 Message format

Address

Packet (3 to 16 bytes)

Message (1 to 14 bytes)

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3

...

Terminator

FF

VISCA message format

A particular command is recognized by the message information after the address byte.

Message Format

Commands are initiated from the host (i.e. the codec or any other external controller) to the camera.

After a camera has been issued a command, the camera will generate a response.

Commands and responses (messages) have the following format:

• Address byte (1)

• Message bytes (1..14)

• Terminator byte (1)

See the illustration for details.

1 0

Sender’s address

LSB

Receiver’s address

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

LSB

The minimum length of any command or response is 3 bytes:

1. Address byte (1): Let us assume there is one host, i.e. the codec (the host is the unit controlling the camera). The host has address 0. The four least significant bits of the address byte contain the address of the receiver. In the case of a broadcast message, the receiver address must be set to

8. When we are operating a single camera, the address is 1. Hence, address bytes in messages from the host are 0x81, and messages from the camera to the host are 0x90 (the protocol allows for up to 7 cameras).

2. Message bytes (1..14): Any number of bytes containing the actual message information. Bytes may have any value in the range 0...254. The value 255 (i.e. hexadecimal FF) is reserved for the terminating byte.

3. Terminator byte (1): All messages must be terminated with a byte containing all 1’s, i.e. decimal

255 (or hexadecimal FF).

Command and response exchange

When the camera receives a command, it responds with either:

• Completion message: 90-5Y-FF

Returned by camera when execution of commands and inquiries are completed.

• Error packets: 90-6Y-..-FF

Returned by camera instead of a completion message when command or inquiry failed to be executed.

General error messages, unless otherwise specified:

• 90-6Y-01-FF Message length error

(>14 bytes)

• 90-6Y-02-FF Syntax error

• 90-6Y-03-FF Command buffer full

• 90-6Y-04-FF Command cancelled

• 90-6Y-05-FF No socket (to be cancelled)

• 90-6Y-41-FF Command not executable

• Y = socket number

A camera may contain two buffers so that two commands, including the command being executed, can be received.

NOTE: The PrecisionHD 1080p camera supports a single socket only. Consequently, the Y always assumes the value Y = 0 .

Exceptions to these rules:

• An Initialize message will respond as indicated in the Table of Commands (this message is in fact a broadcast message, and any unit other than the host receiving the broadcast message must pass it on).

• Do not route commands or replies that are longer than 16 bytes through Sony cameras.

The easiest way to avoid this is to put the

TANDBERG cameras first in the chain.

Commands and replies that are longer than

16 bytes are clearly marked below.

Software upload commands

The CRC algorithm used, is the same as in the XModem protocol. CRC for the last data packet is only calculated for the actual data bytes in the packet. Pad last packet with 0x00 so that the data section is 256 bytes long. The PacketID counter starts at 0.

Video mode selection

The DIP switch selection has priority over the selection made by the CAM_Video_Format command. If the DIP switch is set to auto, the CAM_Video_Format setting will be used. If both are set to auto, resolution will be controlled automatically by EDID.

DIP Switch

Switches are numbered 1 to 5. The VISCA column shows the value that must be used when using the CAM_Video_Format command.

NOTE: The DIP switches are only read by the SW at startup/boot.

So if the DIP switches are changed the camera must be rebooted.

If an undefined mode is selected, the output will default to auto.
