Yes it appears the software download link is no longer easily accessible through the internet. Here is a copy of the LCEdit software package 3.4.5 March 2012 - the last update I downloaded and the last update of the software by Lanbox as far as I know.

I have been attempting to use VISCA commands via the new protocol **Sony** has established via their new **SRG-series PTZ cameras**. I have not been successful. 

I have been able to use hex commands via the VISCA port but would very much like to control PTZ via ethernet as it can also do POE (power and control) via a multi-camera setup with one ethernet cable.

You should check ip first, please try with computer + camera with static ips

Then have a look in the user actors I posted, you should find some commands. Send me a private message if you want we can skype. I don't have the camera with me, so no way to test myself.

Sage advice, Lucas. And nice pun too. I'll start experimentations tomorrow, and keep you in the loop!

thanks. Who knows. It is a 8 pin mini din cable but is it crossed?

this is an explaining pdf 8 pin to RS 232... After lots of research I found this RS232 to 8 pin mini din cable for vc cameras. http://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=RS%2D232C&eq=&Tp= But the camera output of rs 232 is 8 pin too. SO I probably need just 8 pin to 8 pin cables.... and there are different configurations of the pins.... The good one is this http://www.streakwave.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=PA%2DV16&eq=&Tp= SO I probably need a 8 pin to 8 pin cable similar to this plug  I cross fingers...

Well, first take a look at this page:

http://www.commfront.com/RS232_Examples/CCTV/Pelco_D_Pelco_P_Examples_Tutorial.HTM#1 There are some example command strings under "Pelco-D command string examples" You can just double click the Send Serial actor, and paste one of these examples into the dialog box. Then trigger the actor to see if the PTZ responds. If it does, then you'll have to do some work to figure out the messages you want to send. The biggest difficulty is that this protocol requires a checksum -- and, unfortunately, Isadora cannot calculate this for you directly. So it's going to take a bit of work to implement this protocol if you need to go beyond simple messages that are fixed, like the ones in the example above. Best Wishes, Mark

hi, i'd like to control the different parameters of a PTZ axis IP camera.
Does someone could help me ?
