RS-232 Serial Command Reference
The Vaddio RS-232 Serial Control Protocol is similar to the Sony
®
VISCA command set in order to be
compatible with several popular control devices. Not all VISCA commands are supported, and there are
Vaddio-specific commands in the following command and inquiry lists.
Be sure the camera is set to the same baud rate as the controller or other device originating the commands.
