{{Short description|Communication protocol}}
'''Video Disk Control Protocol''' ('''VDCP''') is a [[proprietary communications protocol]] primarily used in [[broadcast automation]] to control [[hard disk]] [[video server]]s for [[broadcast television]]. [[VDCP]] was originally developed by [[Louth Automation]] and is commonly called the '''Louth Protocol'''. At the time it was developed,
VDCP uses a tightly coupled master-slave methodology. The controlling device takes the initiative in communications between the controlling broadcast [[automation]] device and the controlled device (video disk). VDCP conforms to the [[Open Systems Interconnection]] (OSI) reference model.
