Vaddio RoboSHOT 30 RoboSHOT 12 and 30 QUSB System Manual - Page 17

RoboSHOT HD Cameras RS-232 Control The RoboSHOT has an API for control of the camera's operating functions over RS-232. Vaddio RoboSHOT Control Protocol is similar, but not identical 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 many Vaddio specific commands in the following Command and Inquiry Lists Built-in Webserver Control The RoboSHOT camera platform uses a Linux OS and has a built-in web server. The internal web pages will allow control of the attached camera via an Ethernet network connection. CONTROLLING THE QUICK-CONNECT USB: RS-232 Control An API is provided for control of the cameras over RS-232 through the Quick-Connect USB. The camera RS-232 commands are in the back of this manual). Telnet Control The cameras can be controlled through the Quick-Connect USB via Telnet session. These exciting commands are listed at the back of the manual too. Built-in Webserver Control The Quick-Connect USB has a built-in webserver that auto-loads the control protocols of the Vaddio RoboSHOT camera attached (pretty cool huh?). Full camera controls including CCU image controls are available from any approved browser on any computer. The IP address is always displayed on the front panel display of the QuickConnect USB so access to the internal webpages is super easy. Quick-Connect USB Details The Quick-Connect USB interface is a Cat-5e camera interface and a USB 2.0 or H.264 streaming appliance with a built-in webserver for camera set-up and control. The Quick-Connect USB Interface uses UVC (Universal Video Class) drivers for USB 2.0 video and does not require the loading of any other drivers to run on the PC. As long as the operating systems and soft-client software support UVC drivers, no additional software/drivers, other than the application is required. SO FAR Seems pretty easy so far, right? Well, that was the easiest part of the install. The RoboSHOT camera and the Quick-Connect USB both have embedded webservers for system configuration and control. It is recommended the both the RoboSHOT and the Quick-Connect USB are given network connections and addresses on the network to keep the configuration of the camera and interface easy. Screen Shot Tour Next, for your reading enjoyment, a Software/OS Compatibility section and a Screen Shot tour has be prepared for both the RoboSHOT camera and The Quick-Connect USB. These screen shot tours may look very similar, but one important distinction is that the RoboSHOT's embedded web server is only for the RoboSHOT. The Quick-Connect USB's embedded webserver will auto-load control protocols for the RoboSHOT and all the HD-Series cameras (HD-22, HD-30, HD19SE), ZoomSHOT and WideSHOT cameras as well. The web pages for the HD-Series and the ZoomSHOT and WideSHOT cameras will look a little different, supporting fewer functions and some different functions.
