Variables

# UNRESOLVED: source documents PTZ parameters as discrete commands, not as settable Variables.
# Pan/tilt position, zoom, focus are controlled via action commands.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source describes only request/response pattern (controller queries, device replies).
# No unsolicited event messages documented.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no explicit multi-step macros described in source.

Notes

Device: Sony ILME-FR7/FR7K PTZ camera system (from source document)
Protocol: VISCA over IP using UDP on port 52381 (big-endian, LSB first)
Command format: 9–24 byte packets (8-byte header + 1–16 byte payload)
Header: [payload type (2 bytes), payload length (2 bytes), sequence number (4 bytes)]
Payload types: 0x01/0x00=VISCA command, 0x01/0x10=VISCA inquiry, 0x01/0x11=VISCA reply, 0x01/0x20=device setting command
Controller address locked to 0, peripheral address locked to 1 over IP
Two command sockets (buffers) for concurrent command execution
Delivery confirmation and retransmission handled by application layer (UDP)
Network setup port: 52380 (for camera IP configuration via broadcast)
WRITE flag auto-off 20 minutes after first power-on; can be set via CGI command
Max 8-character camera name (alphanumeric + spaces)
Pan range: –170° to +170°; Tilt range (desktop): –30° to +195°; Tilt range (ceiling): –210° to +15°
Zoom: 0000 (Wide) to 6000 (Tele including Clear Image Zoom 2.0×)
Focus: 0000 (Far) to FFFF (Near)
Speed step: Normal (24-step, max 60°/s) or Extended (50-step, max 40°/s in Slow mode)
Vendor ID: 0001 (Sony); Model ID: 051E (ILME-FR7/FR7K)
Command cancel: wait ≥200ms after PAN-TILT Drive before sending cancel; wait ≥200ms after cancel response before issuing new PAN-TILT command

- "source document is VISCA over IP; RS-422 serial variant not present in this source."
- "IP address set via setup software, not stated in source"
- "source documents PTZ parameters as discrete commands, not as settable Variables."
- "source describes only request/response pattern (controller queries, device replies)."
- "no explicit multi-step macros described in source."
- "device name input \"Sony RS422\" does not match source document (ILME-FR7 VISCA over IP). Source describes UDP-based VISCA over IP, not RS-422 serial protocol."
- "RS-422 serial variant command set not present in this source document."
- "firmware version compatibility not stated in source."
- "authentication credentials or token format not applicable (no auth)."
