[PD] visca camera control in pd?

[chris clepper]

PDPeople,

I'm looking at the specs for a Sony PTZ cam which uses Sony's ViSCA
protocol.  The manual gives the commands for  communicating with the cam,
but I'm not sure if it would work with an existing Pd external or not.  The
control machine will be running OSX so a USB-RS232 adapter would figure into
the equation.  I know very little about serial port programming and need a
little help determining if the cam is an option or not.

Cam manual (pp 19-37):
http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/docs/manuals/evihd1_tm.pdf

There is also an open source libVISCA for dealing with this, but I would
rather make abstractions around existing externals than code up a new one.

Thanks
Chris
