Digital Surveillance Recorder A-A0R-107- 11 (1) HSR-1/1P Protocol Manual 1999 by Sony Corporation.
2 This manual describes the procedure for controling the HSR-1/1P Digital Surveillance Recorder using the RS-232C from an external computer, etc. The RS-232C is the EIA standard for the interface of the communication via a modem between data terminal equipment.
3 Signal Connections The signals used in the HSR-1/1P are shown below. Use a cross-wire (flipped) cable to connect a computer to the HSR-1/1P. The RTS and CTS are not controlled and are shorted in a VTR.
4 Communication Protocol Communication is carried out in units of bytes in the following procedure. When the computer sends one byte of data, it waits for a return from the VTR before sending the next byte. The return from the VTR may not only be one byte of data, but can be multiple bytes of data.
5 Detailed Descriptions of Commands NOT TARGET (05H) Notifies that the VTR could not find the specified position on the tape when executing the T/D SEARCH or ALARM SEARCH command. CASSETTE OUT (03H) Notifies that the cassette was ejected. ALARM IN (06H) Notifies of alarm input.
6 Detailed Descriptions of Commands General Purpose Control Commands C.E. (41H) This clears the error status or the last character of numerical data entered. A sign entered cannot be cleared with this command. To clear a sign, enter the new sign. C.L.
7 CAMERA SELECT (DAH+92H) Directly selects the camera to be monitored. Parameter bytes to specify the output port (A or B) and the camera number and the ENTER command (40H) must follow. By setting the camera number to A (3AH) for output port B, the same signal as that from port A can be output from both ports.
8 Detailed Descriptions of Commands REC PRESET (DAH+99H) Sets the requirements for the Recording modes. Parameter bytes to follow to specify the requirements are the same format of those of the return data for REC PRESET SENSE (DAH+C9H). The time mode and recording cycle cannot be set in combination.
9 Second byte Bits 2 to 0: Specify the recording mode after alarm input. 000: No recording 001: Recording mode 1 010: Recording mode 2 011: Recording mode 3 100: Recording mode 4 101: Recording mode 5 Third byte Specify the condition for canceling the alarm recording started by the alarm input.
10 Detailed Descriptions of Commands USER DATA PRESET (DAH+9EH) Sets user data to be added to each picture frame to be recorded. A maimum of 32 bytes (NTSC model) or 40 bytes (PAL model) can be recorded/reproduced. If data of less than 32 or 40 bytes are specified, the remaining bytes are padded with 0s.
11 Status Request Commands DEVICE TYPE REQUEST (8FH) Requests the information on the type of equipment controlled. The device type is a unique code assigned to each model to distinguish it from other models. The device type of the HSR-1/1P is A0H. Example : With HSR-1/1P: STATUS SENSE (DAH+C0H) Requests the return of VTR status data.
12 Detailed Descriptions of Commands T/D SENSE (DAH+C3H) Requests the date/time of recording. When this command is issued, the VTR returns the date/time (year/month/day/hour/minute/second in sequence) of the current playback picture in playback mode or the current date/time in other operation modes.
13 REC MODE SENSE (DAH+C8H) Requests the specified recording mode. Example : When Recording mode 1 is set for normal recording and Repeat recording is active: First byte Bits 2 to 0: Shows the recording mode set for normal recording. Second byte Bit 6: Shows the status of Timer recording.
14 ALARM PRESET SENSE (DAH+CAH) Requests the alarm recording setting status. When this command is issued, the VTR returns the alarm recording settings, as shown below.
15 0001: Monday 0010: Tuesday 0011: Wednesday 0100: Thursday 0101: Friday 0110: Saturday 0111: Sunday 1001: Monday to Friday 1111: Everyday Third and fourth bytes Show the time for Time 1 in 24H mode in BCD. When no time setting has been made, both bytes are padded with FFH.
16 RxD TxD B5H 31H 0AH 0AH CMD SPEED DA T A ACK AC K TxD RxD 72H 95H CMD ACK Detailed Descriptions of Commands HEAD HOURS (D2H) Requests the accumulated time of use of the heads.
17 RxD TxD B6H 31H 0AH 0AH CMD SPEED DA T A ACK AC K RxD TxD F AH CAH 0AH 0AH CMD CMD ACK AC K Example : To play back at 1/30 speed in the reverse direction: STOP (3FH) This command sets the VTR into STOP Mode. EJECT (2AH) This command ejects the cassette.

20 Settings for special items No.7: CAMERA CONNECTION Specify the settings (0: NO or 1: CONNECT) for all cameras with four bytes after the ITEM number (37H), and send ENTER (40H). First byte (30H to 3FH): Set camera 8 to 5 with lower 4 bits. Second byte (30H to 3FH): Set camera 4 to 1 with lower 4 bits.
21 No. 81 to 87: TIMER Send the following data after the respective ITEM numbers. First byte (30H to 39H): Specify the day of the week (Mo, . . . Su, Mon-Fr, Everyday, No setting). Second to fifth bytes (30H30H30H30H to 32H33H35H39H): Specify TIME1 (00:00 to 23:59, two digits each).
