TANDBERG PrecisionHD cameras only, and do not conform to the Visca length requirements.
Command set Command packet Comments
SW start 8x 01 50 a2 0p 0q 0r
0s 0t 0u 0v 0w ff
pqrstuvw = size, pq=LSB Returns y050ff if ok.
Fatal errors: Returns y06006ff if upload already
in progress. Returns y06007ff if unable to
access the flash.
SW end 8x 01 50 a1 ff Sent after last SW packet, instructs camera to
verify new application. Command may take up
to 30 seconds to complete.
Returns y050ff if ok. Issue a camera reboot to
activate new software.
Returns y06008ff if verification of sw failed.
SW abort 8x 01 50 a3 ff Abort sw upload in progress
SW packet 8x a0 pp qq rr ss
[256 bytes data]
ppqq = 16 bit packet id, pp=LSB
rrss = 16 bit CRC, rr=LSB
Returns y0 50 ff if packet ok.
-> send next one.
Returns y0 60 09 ff if crc error -> retransmit
packet.
Returns y0 60 0a ff if id error
-> retransmit packet
Fatal errors:
y0 60 0b ff not in upload mode
y0 60 0c ff error writing data to flash
NOTE: Entire message after 8x a0... is raw
data, so it may contain 0xff. Header is kept as
short as possible. Never route this message
through Sony cameras.

CAM_PingPong_
Reset
8x ae ff Reset ping ctr to 0.
CAM_Ping 8x af 0p 0q 0r 0s

CAM_Stdin 8x a4 [0-256 bytes
stdin] 00 ff
Send command to the command interpreter.

Mode
8x 01 39 0q ff q=0: Debug mode off.
q=1: Debug mode on. Camera will send stdout

CAM_Boot 8x 01 42 ff Reboot the camera. This will also reset serial
speed to 9600.
CAM_Speed 8x 01 34 0p ff p=0: Serial speed 9600. p=1: Serial speed
115200. Reply will be sent before the speed
switch takes place. Please wait 20ms after ok

Software upload commands
The CRC algorithm used, is the same as in the XModem protocol. CRC for the last data packet is only
calculated for the actual data bytes in the packet. Pad last packet with 0x00 so that the data section
is 256 bytes long. The PacketID counter starts at 0.
