A PPENDIX 2 - T ELNET S ERIAL C OMMAND API
The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is a high level text based command line interface supported via telnet
session on the ClearVIEW HD-USB PTZ Camera. The Vaddio Serial Command protocol is not supported on the
RS-232 port. The RS-232 port is dedicated for VISCA commands only. The command application protocol
interface is intended to allow external device such as AMX and Crestron to control the camera. The protocol is
based upon ASCII format following the VT100 terminal emulation standard and uses an intuitive textual
command nomenclature for ease of use. The API is accessed by a telnet client on the Ethernet port. All ASCII
characters will be echoed to terminal program and appended with VT100 string -ESC[J (HEX- 1B 5B 4A).
Vaddio Command lines are terminated on carriage return. After the carriage return, the VT100 appends with –
ESC[J. (Note: Most terminal programs automatically strip the VT100 string.) General format usage follows a
get/set structure. Usage examples for each type are:
Set Example
COMMAND: > camera pan right
RESPONSE: > OK
Get Example
COMMAND: > stream mode get
RESPONSE: > streaming mode usb Syntax Error Example
COMMAND: > camera pan right
SPONRESE: > ERROR
Additional programming controls associated with the terminal protocol includes:
 CTRL 5 - Clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Telnet sessions will require access verification and uses the same username and password associated with the
Administrator account on the embedded web server. The default Telnet Port is 23. Command lines are
terminated with a carriage return.
