Vaddio ConferenceSHOT 10 Control Spec

Summary

The Vaddio ConferenceSHOT 10 is an enterprise-class PTZ conferencing camera. This spec covers two documented control interfaces: a Telnet (TCP) text command API on port 23, and an RS-232 serial command API implementing a Sony VISCA-compatible binary command set. The Telnet API exposes camera movement, zoom, focus, presets, CCU color/lighting, standby, video mute, network/streaming status queries, and system maintenance commands. The RS-232 API exposes VISCA movement, zoom, focus, memory, color/lighting, power, tally, noise-reduction, and mute commands plus inquiry commands.

Transport

# Two protocols documented: Telnet (TCP, port 23) and RS-232 serial (VISCA-like).
# Telnet is disabled by default in firmware issued after mid-December 2019; must be
# enabled on the web UI Security page. RS-232 is available via the blue RJ-45 port.
protocols:
  - tcp
  - serial
addressing:
  port: 23  # Telnet port stated explicitly in source
serial:
  baud_rate: 9600  # default; 38400 bps switch-selectable via soft DIP switch
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
  # UNRESOLVED: start bits = 1 is stated but not modelled as a field here
auth:
  type: password  # Telnet requires admin login; no default admin password.
  # NOTE: RS-232 serial has no auth procedure described in source (physical-port control).

Traits

# - powerable  : CAM_Power on/off (RS-232) and camera standby on/off (Telnet)
# - queryable  : extensive inquiry commands on both APIs (version, ccu get, *Inq, etc.)
# - levelable  : zoom, focus, gain, iris, chroma, detail, gamma continuous-value set commands
traits:
  - powerable    # inferred from power/standby command examples
  - queryable    # inferred from query/inquiry command examples
  - levelable    # inferred from continuous-value set command examples

Actions

# ============================================================================
# NOTE on VISCA command bytes: the source writes commands as "8x 01 ... FF" where
# x = destination camera address (0-F), default 1, and the response prefix is "y0"
# where y = (x + 8). Commands are reproduced VERBATIM from the source. "8x" is a
# single byte whose low nibble is the camera address.

Variables

# Settable continuous parameters (CCU). These mirror telnet_camera_ccu_set /
# VISCA direct commands; listed here as named settable variables.
# UNRESOLVED: full enumeration of per-CCU-variable ranges is captured in the
# camera_ccu_set action params; not duplicated here to avoid drift.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no unsolicited notifications / async events.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no explicit multi-step macro sequences.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety interlocks, power-on sequencing,
# or confirmation procedures for control commands. camera recalibrate (motor
# recalibration) and system factory-reset / system reboot are maintenance
# operations but carry no documented confirmation requirement.

Notes

• Two independent control APIs exist: Telnet (TCP/23, text) and RS-232 (binary VISCA-like). They are NOT command-compatible; many operations have a counterpart in both APIs (e.g. zoom, focus, power/standby, mute) but the payload formats differ entirely.
• Telnet is disabled by default in firmware released after mid-December 2019 and must be enabled on the web UI Security page. HTTP web access is also disabled by default.
• Telnet requires admin login; there is no default admin password (operator-set).
• Default IP when no DHCP: 169.254.1.1.
• RS-232 RJ-45 connector (blue): Pin 6 = GND, Pin 7 = RXD, Pin 8 = TXD; Pins 1-5 unused.
• RS-232 baud rate is soft-DIP-switch selectable (9600 default or 38400); must match controller.
• The > character is the Telnet command prompt. CTRL-5 clears the serial buffer. ? lists available commands/subcommands/parameters.
• VISCA 8x byte: low nibble = camera address (default 1). Response prefix y0 where y = address + 8.
• Status indicator light colors: blue=active, purple=standby/booting, yellow=firmware update, blinking blue=USB disconnected, blinking red=video mute on, blinking yellow=motor out of calibration.
• Shutter/Iris/Gain value lookup tables (CAM_Shutter 0x00-0x15, CAM_Iris 0x00-0x11, CAM_Gain 0x01-0x0F + gain limit 0x04-0x0F) are documented in the source but not enumerated as separate actions; they are parameter ranges of the Direct commands.

summary: "All 136 spec actions match source verbatim; transport (port 23, baud 9600, admin auth) verified; spec covers the full VISCA+Telnet command set documented in source. (13 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"
