How do I connect the camera to a monitor?

Use the DVI-I (VIDEO OUT) connector. For analog component, use a DVI-to-component adapter cable. For analog RGB, use a DVI-to-RGB adapter cable. For digital, use a DVI cable. Ensure the COLOR SYSTEM is set to RGB or YPbPr as needed.

How can I control the camera remotely via computer?

Connect an RS-232C cross cable from the computer to the VISCA IN connector on the camera. Use VISCA commands. Set the baud rate using BOTTOM switch 2 (ON for 38400 bps, OFF for 9600 bps). The SYSTEM SELECT switch must be set to a video output position or VISCA CONTROL.

What is the maximum pan/tilt speed?

Pan: up to 300 degrees per second. Tilt: up to 125 degrees per second.

How do I store camera positions?

Adjust the camera position, zoom, focus, and backlight, then hold the PRESET button and press one of the POSITION buttons (1-6). To recall, press the corresponding POSITION button. To clear, hold RESET and press the position button.

What should I do if the remote commander does not work?

Ensure the CAMERA SELECT button matches the IR SELECT switch setting on the camera. Check that the IR-RECEIVE in the SYSTEM menu is ON. Replace batteries if needed. Avoid interference from inverter lighting.

How do I change the video format?

Set the SYSTEM SELECT switch on the rear of the camera to the desired position before powering on or in standby. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver. Refer to the table in the manual for switch positions and supported formats.

What is the minimum illumination for the camera?

15 lux at F1.8 with 50 IRE.

Can I use the camera on a tripod?

Yes. Attach a tripod to the tripod screw hole (1/4-20UNC) on the bottom. Ensure the tripod is on a flat surface and screws are tightened firmly. Do not install on ceilings using tripod screws.

Precautions

Operating or storage location

Operating or storing the camera in the following locations may cause damage to the camera:

• Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C [32°F to 104°F])
• Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
• Locations subject to vibration or shock

Ventilation

To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.

Transportation

When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.

Cleaning the main unit

• When the body of the camera is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth that is soaked with a diluted neutral detergent and tightly wrung. Then finish with a dry cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvents, which may damage the finish.
• When you use a chemical cloth, follow its instructions.
• Do not sprinkle volatile matter such as pesticide over your camera nor allow rubber or vinyl to come in contact with the camera for a long period of time. Doing so may damage the finish.

Replacing the batteries of the Remote Commander

If the remote commander does not operate from a long distance, the batteries may be worn out. Replace the batteries with new ones (AA × 2).

Maintenance

The camera mechanism may cause abnormal noise due to wear and lubrication loss after a long period of use. To maintain optimum performance, we recommend periodical maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult your Sony dealer.

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CMOS. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the CMOS of the camera.

Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction.

White flecks tend to be seen particularly in the following cases:

• during operation at a high environmental temperature
- when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

This phenomena may be improved by turning the camera off and then on again.

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Features

CMOS camera with high image quality

The CMOS image sensor allows high-definition shooting with superior picture quality.

Silent, high-speed pan and tilt action

By adopting the DD motor mechanism, in addition to high-speed pan/tilt action, improvement of the noise reduction mechanism lets you use the camera for a variety of purposes.

Video format compatible with 60/50 Hz progressive scan

The EVI-HD7V camera allows you to shoot moving objects in Full HD progressive scan for high-resolution image output. The EVI-HD7V also allows output in the interlaced format used in HDTV broadcasts. Including 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz frequencies, the EVI-HD7V camera is compatible with a total of 11 video formats, while the EVI-HD3V is compatible with a total of 5 video formats.

DVI-I video output

The DVI-I (VIDEO OUT) connector supports both digital and analog output.

VISCA camera protocol supported

The camera is equipped with an RS-232C communication interface. You can select the baud rate of either 38,400 bps or 9,600 bps. This allows you to remotely control the camera at a high communication speed.

The PAN TILT ZOOM menu is used to select the pan/tilt/zoom mode.

PAN/TILT LIMIT

When you set PAN/TILT LIMIT to ON, you can select the limit of pan/tilt operation. You can select the following values:

RIGHT: +100° to -100°, selectable with an interval of 1°

LEFT: -100° to +100° , selectable with an interval of 1°

UP: +25° to -25°, selectable with an interval of 1°

DOWN: -25° to +25° , selectable with an interval of 1°

Setting the range of LEFT/RIGHT movement

Note

The limit of pan/tilt operation becomes effective promptly after you set the range of PAN/TILT LIMIT. When you want to make the camera start with the ranges set, before

turning off the power, store those values in POSITION 1.

For details, see "Storing the Camera Settings in Memory — the Presetting Feature" (page 72).

Setting the range of UP/DOWN movement
