Sony EVI D100

Trying to program a Sony EVI D100, to power the unit on and off. I am not sure if I am reading the RS-232 commands right. anyone let me know if that is right. The QQ would be the command string. The 8X.... is the ON string.


{
send_string dvCam,"'QQ',13"
wait 10 send_string dvCam,"'8x01040002FF',13"
SEND_STRING 0, "'8x01040002FF',13"
}

    Read the protocol manual more closely you'll probably find that the 8X is the device ID, and all the strings should be sent in HEX not ascii as you have it.

    here some sample code that may help you: Notice the stop move command takes place in the RELEASE:{}


    PROGRAM_NAME='SONY EVI 100'
    (*=====================================================*)
    (* Button Event Name: VC_CAM3_BTNS *)
    (* Purpose: Controls camera through AMX module *)
    (*=====================================================*)

    {
    PUSH:
    {
    LOCAL_VAR INTEGER CAM3_CURRENT_PRESET
    LOCAL_VAR INTEGER CAM3_BUTTON
    CAM3_BUTTON = BUTTON.INPUT.CHANNEL
    IF (CAM3_BUTTON > 40)
    {
    CAM3_CURRENT_PRESET = CAM3_BUTTON - 40
    }
    SWITCH(CAM3_BUTTON)
    {
    CASE 31: (*TILT UP*)
    {
    //SEND_STRING dvSONYCAM,SONYCAM_UP
    SEND_STRING dvSONYCAM,"$81,$01,$06,$01,$07,$07,$03,$01,$FF"

    I used these for the Elmo camera which I believe is the same as the Sony one,

    VOLATILE CAM_ON[] ={$81,$01,$04,$00,$02,$FF}
    VOLATILE CAM_OFF[] ={$81,$01,$04,$00,$03,$FF}

    Here's the strings ON/OFF

    Cam_on = "$81,$01,$04,$00,$02,$ff"
    Cam_off = "$81,$01,$04,$00,$03,$ff"
    Cam_zoom_tele = "$81,$01,$04,$07,$02,$ff"
    Cam_zoom_wide = "$81,$01,$04,$07,$03,$ff"
    Cam_zoom_stop = "$81,$01,$04,$07,$00,$ff"
    Cam_focus_far = "$81,$01,$04,$08,$03,$ff"
    Cam_focus_near = "$81,$01,$04,$08,$02,$ff"
    Cam_focus_stop = "$81,$01,$04,$08,$00,$ff"
    Cam_up = "$81,$01,$06,$01,$07,$07,$03,$01,$ff"
    Cam_down = "$81,$01,$06,$01,$07,$07,$03,$02,$ff"
    Cam_left = "$81,$01,$06,$01,$07,$07,$01,$03,$ff"
    Cam_right = "$81,$01,$06,$01,$07,$07,$02,$03,$ff"
    Cam_drive_stop = "$81,$01,$06,$01,$03,$03,$03,$03,$ff"
    Cam_home = "$81,$01,$06,$04,$ff"
