11.2 Category: ActionControl (GigE only)
Category containing the Action Control functions.
General Information
The basic idea behind this function was realizing simultaneous trigger for multiple cameras.
For doing so, a broadcast Ethernet package was implemented. This package can act as trigger
or be used for other actions.
The individual network components provide different latencies and jitter, so Ethernet trigger is
not as synchronous as hardware trigger. However, network applications can handle jitter.
Action Command is transmitted as broadcast. Furthermore, several cameras can be grouped to-
gether, so that not each connected camera will respond to Action Commands.
Action Commands include the following information:
n
Device Key - as device-specific authorization for responding to the Action Command
n
Action ID - as action signal identification
n
Group Key - for action trigger addressing individual device groups
n
Group Mask - to extend the range of individual device groups
