10.2 RS-422 Control Operation Guide
10.2.1 Overview of VISCA
In VISCA, the side outputting commands, for example, a computer is called the controller, while
the side receiving the commands, such as a PTC-150, is called the peripheral device. The PTC-150
serves as a peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the BRC-
300/P can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS-232C/RS-
422 standard. The parameters of RS-232C/RS-422 are as follows.
• Communication speed: 38400 bps
• Data bits: 8
•
Start bit: 1
• Stop bit: 1
•
Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is not supported.
The address of the controller is fixed at 0.
The addresses of peripheral devices are as follows.
