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 an FCB-EX780S/
EX780SP, is called the peripheral device. The FCB-
EX780S/EX780SP serves as a peripheral device in
VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like
the FCB-EX780S/EX780SP can be connected to one
controller using communication conforming to the RS-
232C standard. The parameters of RS-232C are as
follows.
• Communication speed: 9.6 kbps/19.2 kbps/
38.4 kbps
• Data bits : 8
• Start bit : 1
• Stop bit : 1/2
• Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is
