Note
In the same network, all the camera address selectors
422 Commands should be set to “0” (automatic setting) or all the
selectors should be manually set to “1” to “7”. Do not
mix the automatic and manual settings.

for any such damage. Set the DTR input (the S output of the controller) of
VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment
from the controller.
Overview of VISCA
Fig. 1 VISCA network configuration
In VISCA, the side outputting commands, for example,
a computer, is called the controller, while the side VISCA Equipment
VISCA Controller
receiving the commands, such as a BRC-Z700, is called
the peripheral device. The BRC-Z700 serves as a IN
peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven
peripheral devices like the BRC-Z700 can be connected
to one controller using communication conforming to OUT
the RS-232C/RS-422 standard. The parameters of RS-
232C/RS-422 are as follows.
• Communication speed: 9600 bps/38400 bps
• Data bits : 8
• Start bit : 1 IN
• Stop bit : 1
• Non parity
Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is OUT
not supported.

Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As

shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a one-
direction ring, so that messages return to the controller IN
via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network
are assigned addresses.
The address of the controller is fixed at 0. OUT
The addresses of peripheral devices are as follows.

When the camera address selector is set to 0

(automatic setting mode)
The peripheral devices are assigned to the addresses, 1,
2, 3… in the connected order, starting from the one
connected nearest to the controller. These addresses are
set when the controller sends address commands during
initialization of the network.

When the camera address selector is set to 1

through 7 (manual setting mode)
The addresses of the peripheral devices will be set to the
pre-selected numbers. Within a single system, the same
number can be used only once. If an address selector
number other than 0 is used, set the camera address
selectors on the connected BRC-Z700 cameras to
different numbers.

General commands
As VISCA command processing can only be carried out
a maximum of one time in a Vertical (V*) cycle, it takes Command
maximum 4V-cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be RxD
returned. ACK Completion
If the Command and ACK/Completion communication TxD
time is shorter than 1V-cycle time, a command can be Within 4V
received at every 1V cycle. From this point, if two or
more commands are to be sent successively, wait for a Inquiry commands
