visca-spin

---

This is a P8X32A/Propeller, P2X8C4M64P/Propeller 2 driver object for Sony's VISCA camera protocol

IMPORTANT: This software is meant to be used with the spin-standard-library (P8X32A) or p2-spin-standard-library (P2X8C4M64P). Please install the applicable library first before attempting to use this code, otherwise you will be missing several files required to build the project.

Salient Features

• VISCA controller side
• Modular: can be "attached" to virtually any I/O driver
• Adjust camera image: zoom, focus (manual, automatic), aperture, blue/red gain, brightness, gain, iris, gamma, shutter, white balance
• Additional settings: autoexposure, backlight compensation, exposure compensation, IR correction/compensation, IR cut, noise reduction
• Enable/disable features: on-screen display, image mute, wide dynamic-range
• Read vendor, model IDs, firmware version

Requirements

P1/SPIN1:

• spin-standard-library
• An I/O driver that provides a single-character transmit routine with one parameter, and a single-character receive routine with one return value (e.g., putchar() and getchar() from com.serial.terminal.ansi.spin)

P2/SPIN2:

• p2-spin-standard-library
