PDPeople,<br><br>I&#39;m looking at the specs for a Sony PTZ cam which uses Sony&#39;s ViSCA protocol.&nbsp; The manual gives the commands for&nbsp; communicating with the cam, but I&#39;m not sure if it would work with an existing Pd external or not.&nbsp; The control machine will be running OSX so a USB-RS232 adapter would figure into the equation.&nbsp; I know very little about serial port programming and need a little help determining if the cam is an option or not.<br>
<br>Cam manual (pp 19-37):<br><a href="http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/docs/manuals/evihd1_tm.pdf">http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/docs/manuals/evihd1_tm.pdf</a><br><br>There is also an open source libVISCA for dealing with this, but I would rather make abstractions around existing externals than code up a new one.<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Chris<br>
