Basic Functionality
possible when the switch is not connected.
Upgrade camera or switch with new software. The software must be put
on either /tmp or /user. Camera software files are named s01692.pkg.
Switch software files are named s51200.pkg. Currently only upgrading of
the first camera/switch is supported.
Physical inputs refer to explicit codec input and explicit switch input.
These can only be controlled from the command interface. xconfiguration
MainVideoSource, vidin and xconfiguration Switch Source always control
the inputs directly.
xconfiguration MainVideoSource/DuoVideoSource <1..6>
Will not be changed. 1 will mean current input on the switch.
Example: To select physical input 3 on the codec, use xconfiguration
MainVideoSource: 3, as usual. To see inputs on the switch, select codec
input 1 with xconfiguration MainVideoSource: 1, and select switch input
with xconfiguration Switch Source <1..6>.
xconfiguration switch source: <1..6>
Specify which input source to use on the switch. This will only cause a
visible change if MainVideoSource is 1.
New Statuses
xstatus switch
Information about software version and ID will be given by xstatus
camera 1. xstatus switch will give information about sync status for the
active input, the format, and sync status for all DVI-D inputs.
Logical inputs are used when accessing inputs from the menu, remote
control and FECC. There are five input buttons on the top of the TRC4
remote control, and these can be remapped to any switch input you
wish. The same five buttons are visible in the Presentation/Main Video
menu, and these will be remapped in the same manner. If the switch
is connected with no special configuration, selecting “main cam” in the
menu will give the current input on the switch.
xconfiguration switch config primary: <on/off>
Default is on. If off, the codec will only do a basic setup of the primary
chain and report what kind of cameras are connected. The codec will not
set up brightness, whitebalance, gamma etc. for each camera. Turn it off
if an external control system handles all the configuration.
xstatus switch
*s Switch (connected=True):
Input: 1
xconfiguration switch config secondary: <on/off>
Format: 1280X720p60
Sync: True
Sync 1: True
Sync 2: True
Sync 3: False
Example: There are two cameras connected to the switch, which we
want to access from the menu and remote using the “main cam” and
“aux” buttons:
Default is on. If off, the codec will only do a basic setup of the secondary
chain and report what kind of cameras are connected. The codec will not
set up brightness, whitebalance, gamma etc. for each camera. Turn it off
if an external control system handles all the configuration.
xconfiguration Switch LogicalInput 1 Mode: On
xconfiguration Switch LogicalInput 1 Map: 1
xconfiguration Switch LogicalInput 2 Mode: On
xconfiguration Switch LogicalInput 2 Map: 2
Sync 4: False
xConfiguration Switch LogicalInput [1..5] Mode: <On/Off>
xConfiguration Switch LogicalInput [1..5] Map: <1..6>
Active input may differ from what is given in the xconfiguration Switch
Source setting. This is because an external control system may also
change the input.
Default is LogicalInput [1..5] Mode: Off.
You can rename the inputs using the standard xconfiguration Video
Inputs Source <1..6> Name or vidname:
1. Main cam
2. Aux
3. Doc cam
4. VCR
5. PC
xconfiguration Video Inputs Source 1 Name: “HD Camera 1”
xconfiguration Video Inputs Source 2 Name: “HD Camera 2”
Note: If you select a switch input that has no mapping from the command
interface, it will be called Switch-<1..6>. If you select a codec input that
has been remapped to the switch from the command interface, it will be
called Codec-<1..5>.
Remaps the source buttons on top of the extended remote control.
Will also remap inputs selected from the menu, and change FECC
accordingly. If mode for a key is on, the table entry will be used to specify
which input on the switch to activate.
Command Interface – New Commands
Important: All camera commands will get new ranges, 1..13 instead of
1..4. This will work as specified in the section above.
Command Interface – Configurations
Important: All camera configurations will get new ranges, 1..13 instead
of 1..4. These will behave as follows if a switch is connected:
The new commands below are also useful if there is no switch
connected.
1 will be the switch.
2..7 will be cameras connected to secondary chain (chain originating
from Data port 2 of the switch).
8..13 will be cameras connected to the primary chain (chain originating
from Data port 1 of the switch).
xcommand CameraReconfigure
Reconfigures all cameras connected to the switch or codec. This may be
useful if you connect new cameras without turning the power off, since
the switch does not autodetect such changes.
Since the switch is the first entry in both chains, there is a max of 6
cameras per chain. This numbering scheme will be as compatible as
possible with existing camera support. We open up for the possibility

Communicating with the Video Switch
This article covers the use of port 3 as the control
port for the switch. You may use port 0 if you do
not intend to use the THSI interface, but only use

system connected to Data port 3 on the switch.
CAM_IF_Clear
Clear command buffer. Stop any current
operation in progress.
The following describes how to communicate
with the TANDBERG Video Switch using the
VISCA protocol. For details about the protocol
implementation, refer to the System Integrators
Guide – Interfacing to the TANDBERG Wave 2
Camera.
Enhanced VISCA
CAM_Address_Set
8x 30 0p ff
p = address for this device. If x=8
(broadcast), increase p with 1 before
sending to chain.
Since the switch has two possible camera chains,
all normally formatted commands will be sent to
the primary chain. To access the secondary chain,
you must first turn Enhanced VISCA on with the
SW_eVisca command.
CAM_Command_Cancel
CAM_Power
8x 2p ff
p = Socket ID. Not supported in TVS
p = 2: Power on. p = 3: Power off.
8x 01 04 00 0p ff
Commands going to the secondary chain must be
prefixed with FE 01. Replies from the secondary
chain will also be prefixed with FE 01. You will only
receive push messages from the secondary chain if
Enhanced VISCA is turned on.
VISCA Interface Basics
The TANDBERG Video Switch (TVS) uses a RS-232
control interface that resembles the Sony VISCA
protocol.
VISCA Standard Inquiries
Command
Command Packet
8x 09 00 02 ff
Comments
TVS is configured in exactly the same way as a
VISCA camera. TVS will always be located first in
the camera chain(s).
Important: Since the switch can receive VISCA from
either the codec or an external control system, and
since there are two possible camera chains, there
are limitations on how commands are issued and
answered:
IF_DeviceType_Inq
y0 50 gg gg hh hh jj jj kk ff
gggg = Vendor ID
hhhh = Model ID
jjjj = ROM Revision
kk = Max sockets
The main jobs of the VISCA interface in the TVS are:
•
•
Select which video source to use
•
•
Only one command can be processed at a time
Route VISCA messages to the connected
cameras
Sending a new command when you receive an
ACK from a Sony camera is not allowed. ACK
messages will be thrown away by the switch
(No support for this in the TANDBERG
Video Switch. Ignore it.)
•
Control picture resolutions sent to the codec
Cameras chained to the switch will start with id 2.
The codec will automatically recognize this and map
the cameras accordingly.
CAM_Power_Inq
8x 09 04 00 ff

Reply will always go to the source that issued the
command.
p = 2: Power on.
p = 3: Power off.
Sony push messages will be sent to both
sources.
VISCA Serial Ports
The switch has a total of 4 serial ports that
communicate using the VISCA protocol.
If this is not expected behaviour, an external control
system may, of course, be setw to control all
connected cameras directly via VISCA.

Port 0, on the THSI interface, is always
connected to the codec.
CAM_Network_Change
This indicates that cameras have been
added to or removed from the camera
chain.
To avoid issues with (some) Sony
cameras, the control system or
codec should delay 9 seconds before
reconfiguring the chain.
VISCA Messages
Port 1 is the primary VISCA chain for cameras
connected to the Switch.
Commands that are prefixed with SW_ are new for
the switch. The CAM_ prefix is used for commands
that are copied from TANDBERG Precision HD
Camera, or are standard VISCA messages.
Port 2 is the secondary VISCA chain for the
cameras that normally are connected to codec
video inputs 2-5. See the section on Enhanced
VISCA below.
•
Port 3 is intended for external control systems,
and works in the same way as port 0, but with
some limitations on available commands. It
is comparable to running the daisy port on a
TANDBERG Precision HD Camera in dualvisca
mode.
