Sony CNA-1 - Camera control network adaptor

The CNA-1 camera control network adaptor enables third party system 

products to control Sony system cameras over IP networks. Based on 

Simple Protocol “text” based command protocol, it makes it easy and 

quick to develop applications for the Sony system cameras without 

requiring complex programming.



CNA-1 can work as a protocol converter, translating Sony cameras’ 

original 700PTP protocol to and from Simple Protocol to allow the 

cameras to work easily with third party devices. The majority of functions 

of Sony camera control are included, with a few exceptions for 

the most complicated protocols.



- Add additional cameras and products :


The adaptor converts serial protocol to IP protocol, 

allowing non-network capability products to a network. 

If an additional camera chain is required, it can be connected via the CNA-1.




- Network working with MSU software control :


The CNA-1 can operate as the “master” module with the 

HZC-CSM10 PC-based Master Control Unit (MSU) software 

without needing a hardware MSU.
