SoE - Serial over Internet Acclimating oneself with the software After downloading the application (and the Microsoft ,NET framework if it isn't already installed on your machine), launch the executable: CamComm.exe. To connect to our AXIS 2490 (if available) ... You are now connected to an AXIS 2490 driving a Sony camera. On the form, click on "command", then click on "CommandSelection". A selection window appears. This window should look vaguely familiar ... much like the window that appears when using Windows Explorer except that, rather than showing the hierarchy of folderas and files, this shows VISCA command categories (VISCA is Sony's proprietary command protocol) and commands. Click on THE PLUS SIGN beside the word "categories" and note that several categories appear. Click on the plus sign beside "commands" and note the appearance of several sub-categories (indicated as such by the presence of a plus sign beside each). Click on the plus sign beside the label "Admin/Control" and observe three instructions (indicated as such by the lack of a plus sign). Click on the instruction labeled "DvcType". |
Observe the right side of the window, in which appears the command title "Device type Inquiry" and the string "8x090002FF". Those familiar with the VISCA command set will recognize the almost-hex string as the IF_DvcType command, with an 'x' where the camera address goes. Click on the string "8x090002FF:. Now dismiss the window by clicking on the "Close" button in the extreme upper right corner. On the form, note the appearance of the string "1. 81090002FF (binary)" in the lower (outgoing) log box. The term "(binary)" indicates that this string went out as binary, not as a hex-encoded string. (note that the "E'net mode") box indicates the binary mode -binary mode was auto-selected when the 'CommandSelection' box was launched). In the upper (incoming) log box, note the string "1. 0x90500020041a020002ff - IF_DvcType query Vendor:Sony, Model:FCB-IX45A, ROM rev: 200, Max sockets:2 ". The Hex string shows the actual string that the camera returned, plus the string decoded, informing us that this is a Sony IX45A camera at ROM rev level 0200 and equipped with 2 sockets. A second, more satisfying exercise Click on the icon ONCE and see the form shrink, leaving only the incoming log and the menu with which to continue working. Now, with the form minimized to better share screen space, click on this link: http://24.16.78.43:51/local/index.htm. You should now be connected to both the camera video and the camera serial input. |
