Documentation excerpt
The upstream example connects to the configured TCP port and sends a complete FF-terminated VISCA command:
import socket
connection = socket.create_connection(("CAMERA-IP-ADDRESS", 5678), timeout=10)
connection.sendall(bytes([0x81, 0x01, 0x06, 0x01, 0x08, 0x08, 0x01, 0x03, 0xFF]))
response = connection.recv(16)
This is a documentation excerpt. Use the complete Python VISCA example for connection lifecycle, command cycling, and response interpretation.
