Selecting Menu Items with LibVisca

Question

I have an application that controls cameras. Currently I am adding support for HD cameras using the Visca format. I'm using the LibVisca library to do the low level work. I have successfully added all of the features I need with the exception of the menu system.

I can open the Menu. Move the menu cursor up and down through the list, change settings but I cannot select submenus.

What Visca command do you use to select submenus? I'm using LibVisca and my camera is a Sony EVi-HD1.

Thanks

Answer 1

Here is the actual answer Sony took a while to contact me but I got it from the horses mouth.

Visca Protocol has no concept of menus any menus displayed by a camera that uses Visca is hardcoded to only accept menu traversing commands if they come from an InfraRed device ala remote controller.

However Visca has the ability to programmatically change all of these values using Visca.

Answer 2

As far as I understood, selecting a submenu is achieved by pressing HOME.

Did you try sending Pan-tiltDrive - Home - 8x 01 06 04 FF to select the submenu?
