LANC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LANC™ or Local Application Control Bus System, also known as Control-L is a protocol by Sony used to synchronize camcorders and cameras.[1]
LANC is a terminal on SONY camcorders which enables other accessories like Tripods with a control handle to control the camera with a wire connected to LANC port without dealing with bottons on the camera itself. It is also available on many Still cameras too, where it is called ACC (the DSC-xxxx series of cameras).
The protocol is made up of 8 (8-bit) bytes, usually clocked by the camera at 9600bps. Each frame of bytes occurs in sync with the beginning of each video frame (NTSC or PAL).
