Communication Protocols​

The VISCA protocol is a command-based communication protocol used to control professional video cameras. It supports two primary communication methods:

  • Serial VISCA: This method uses a physical RS-232 serial connection. It is ideal for direct, local control where latency and network dependencies are not a concern.
  • IP VISCA: This method encapsulates the VISCA protocol within TCP/IP packets, allowing for remote control over a network. IP VISCA is best for networked environments, enabling multi-camera control from a single point.
