Sony CNA-1

The CNA-1 camera control network adaptor allows third-party system products to control Sony system cameras over IP networks. The CNA-1 works as a protocol converter, translating the original 700PTP protocol of Sony cameras to and from Simple Protocol to allow the cameras to work easily with third-party devices.

How to use

The element created with this connector consists of the data pages described below.

CCU Status Info

On this page, you can find information related to all the CCUs. The maximum and minimum values for CCU numbers are displayed at the top of the page.

CCU Select Retries shows the number of retries the CNA connector will attempt in order to select a CCU or to send the command to the CCU. When the retries are done, the connector will wait for an interval determined by the Back Off Wait Time CCU Buffers parameter and the next CCU will be selected in the meantime. When the CCU is selected again, the connector checks if the back-off time has passed. If it has, the connector will try to send the command one last time.

A CCU Status table is also available, listing the detected CCUs are listed.
