I recently encountered this issue:
When you send a pan/tilt/zoom command to Precision HD camera attached via the camera control port to a C-series codec OFTEN the camera will not move until you sent the command again. The codec will respond with affirmation OK...even though it isn't working.
The problem is definitely evident in software release 4.2 and 4.5 (latest). KBZ was able to easily replicate the issue.
This is the command:
xcommand camera ramp pan:up panspeed:4
FOR NOW -> send the command without the speed parameter:
xcommand camera ramp pan:up
The speed is a bit fast, but this works reliably.
To my knowledge, the AMX module will not allow you to drop the speed parameter; you will need to use PASSTHRU- commands.
NOTE: if you send a command w/o speed and then send commands w/speed the codec will work fine UNTIL you reboot. Then you're back to square 1 again.
Happy coding!
