Summary

This document provides information about the Hitachi Camera Control protocol implementation for VSM.

Name/Type of 3rd Party API	TCP/IP
Version of 3rd Party API
Additional 3rd Party information	Tested with SK-HD1300E-S1 Camera

Connection Type	TCP/ IP
Default Port

The protocol supports the SK-HD1300E-S1 camera.

The ability to transfer the control between Head and RCP.
The ability to set tally (Red / Green) via a bit mask:
- 0 = Red OFF / Green OFF
- 1 = Red ON / Green OFF
- 2 = Red OFF / Green ON
- 3 = Red ON / Green ON

There is no control option for Joystick Override via protocol. This has to be realized via electrical contact.

GET Power State	Sends a request to get the current power state of the camera.
Power State	A GET Power State response. Either powered on or not.
SET Taken ON	Sends a request to take ownership of the camera (results in starting to receive data via the stream).
Taken ON	A SET Taken ON response. Either success or fail.
GET Tally	Sends a request to get the current tally.
SET Tally	Sends a request to set the tally.
Tally	A GET/SET Tally response. Returns the current Red / Green tally settings.

The camera's protocol doesn't support getting the Control setting value (Head / RCP) therefore it is required to initialize the desired value by setting it in VSM.
The tally changes won't be visible on the camera unless the Control parameter is set to RCP.
