Trying to access it using WinUSB failed – I can’t remember why.įinally, I stumbled upon a Microsoft MTP page. I tried opening the device using its internal filename, success – but failed when trying to read/write. Yeah, so Windows is very protective of USB devices, and refused to let me communicate directly with the camera. This project has proved to be a good refresher. Since then my time has been spent developing systems using what some would argue to be higher-level languages, mainly on *nix platforms.
RETRO STUF CODE
The last time I wrote any C/C++ code for Windows was around 2006-2007. The packet-replay project above gave some insight, and some rummaging around on the Internet surfaced the USB specification that Sony have based their protocol upon. I found one piece that uses the above SDK, another simulates mouse clicks/etc on the Imaging Edge Remote application, and one that replays captured USB packets for a very specific combination of camera model and software.Īs such, I decided to try writing my own pseudo-driver that connects to the camera via USB using the same protocol as the Imaging Edge Remote software.
RETRO STUF SOFTWARE
Īfter hunting around, I was unable to find any suitable software that would let me directly interface with the camera. Developer World no longer offers updates and active support for Camera Remote API. * Camera Remote API has now been archived. The last post on their website announcing newly added cameras was around mid-2015, and prominently has the following message on every page: Sadly it appears they have officially “Archived” the SDK and no longer offer active support. It seems they (Sony) definitely thought about letting people control their own cameras for a while, as they released a camera SDK (it can still be downloaded) that allows control of a number of cameras over their built-in WiFi. This was very disappointing to me after I forked out US$1,000 for a new a6400, only to find that the only way to control the camera remotely was the Sony “Imaging Edge” suite.
RETRO STUF DRIVER
With the acquisition, Kleckner and the Right Stuf team will be joining Crunchyroll’s Emerging Businesses organization, led by Terry Li.Ĭrunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment were advised by Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP, and Right Stuf was advised by Hennepin Partners and Lathrop GPM for the transaction.As mentioned in my ASCOM driver post, Sony doesn’t seem particularly interested in allowing third-party access when it comes to remote control of their cameras. There has never been a more exciting time to be an anime fan than today!” “Joining forces with Crunchyroll allows us to accelerate and scale this effort more than ever before. “For 35 years, Right Stuf’s mission has been to connect anime fans with the products they love,” stated Shawne Kleckner, CEO of Right Stuf. “We are excited to bring Crunchyroll and Right Stuf together and offer fans even more of what they love as one company.” “For years, Right Stuf has been an important part of anime fandom with products, services, and a shopping experience that super-serves anime collectors,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. The deal, the terms of which are not being disclosed, immediately widens Crunchyroll’s eCommerce product offering with significant extensions in the home entertainment and manga categories. Crunchyroll announced it has purchased anime online superstore Right Stuf to expand its eCommerce service.
