Overview of Functions

Zoom

SRG-360SHE

Employs 30× optical zoom lens. Up to ×360 zoom is allowed when you use digital zoom.

•Optical ×30, f=4.3 mm to 129 mm

(F1.6 to F4.7)

SRG-280SHE

Employs 26× optical zoom lens. Up to ×312 zoom is allowed when you use digital zoom.

•Optical ×26, f=4.3 mm to 111.8 mm (F1.6 to F4.5)

Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by expanding each image in both the vertical and horizontal directions. When the digital zoom is used, the resolution deteriorates.

You can activate the zoom in the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA command.

Standard Mode

Variable Mode

There are eight levels of zoom speed.

In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

Direct Mode

Setting the zoom position enables quick movement to the designated position.

Digital Zoom ON/OFF

Focus

Focus has the following modes, all of which can be set using VISCA Commands.

- Auto Focus Mode

The Auto Focus (AF) function automatically adjusts the focus position to maximise the high frequency content of the picture in a center measurement area, taking into consideration the high luminance and strong contrast components. The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical wide end and 1200 mm at the optical tele end.

- Normal AF Mode

This is the normal mode for AF operations.

- Interval AF Mode

The mode used for AF movements carried out at particular intervals. The time intervals for AF movements and for the timing of the stops can be set in one-second increments using the Set Time Command. The initial value for both is set to five seconds.

- Zoom Trigger Mode

When the zoom is changed, the AF mode activates for the pre-set time. Then, it stops. The initial value is set to 5 seconds.

AF sensitivity can be set to either Normal or Low.

- Normal

Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this when shooting a subject that moves frequently.

Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.

- Low

Improves the stability of the focus. When the lighting level is low, the AF function does not take effect, even though the brightness varies, contributing to a stable image.

- Manual Focus Mode

Manual Focus has both a Standard Mode and a Variable Mode. Standard Mode focuses at a fixed rate of speed. Variable Mode has eight speed levels that can be set using a VISCA Command.

In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

- One Push Trigger Mode

When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then holds that position until the next Trigger Command is input.

- Infinity Mode

The lens is forcibly moved to a position suitable for an unlimited distance.

- Near Limit Mode

Can be set in a range from 1000 ( ∞ ) to F000 (1 cm). Default setting: D000h (30 cm)

White Balance

White Balance has the following modes.

• Auto White Balance

This mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 2500K to 7500K. This mode is the factory setting.

• ATW

Auto Tracing White balance (2000K to 10000K)

- Indoor

3200K Base Mode

- Outdoor

5800K Base Mode

- One Push WB

One Push White Balance is a function that forcibly captures the white color once the lighting conditions to illuminate the subject are set, enabling you to shoot the image in the conditions as they are set. By using this function, the natural color of the subject can be obtained without being affected by the surrounding lighting conditions. To set this mode, shoot the subject that you want to capture the white color and send the One Push White Balance Trigger. The One Push White Balance data is lost when the power is turned off. If the power is turned off, set One Push White Balance again.

- Manual WB

Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each

Automatic Exposure Mode

A variety of AE functions are available for optimal output of subjects in lighting conditions that range from low to high.

• Full Auto

Iris, Gain and Shutter Speed can be set automatically.

- Gain Limit Setting

The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter Priority, Iris Priority, Bright and Manual in the AE mode. Use this setting when image signal-to-noise ratio is particularly important.

- Shutter Priority ¹⁾

Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain (1/1 to 1/10,000 sec., 16 high-speed shutter speeds plus 6 low-speed shutter speeds)

1) Flicker can be eliminated by setting shutter to

→ 1/100s for NTSC models used in countries with a 50 Hz power supply frequency
→ 1/120s for PAL models used in countries with a 60 Hz power supply frequency

- Manual

Variable Shutter, Iris and Gain

- Bright

Variable Iris and Gain (Close to F1.6, 14 steps and F1.6 at 15 steps)

AE – Shutter priority

The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a total of 22 steps - 16 high speeds and 6 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be adjusted the slow shutter according to subject brightness. The picture output is read at a low rate from the memory. AF capability is low. In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to 1/10,000s . The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.

AE - Manual

The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (14 steps) and gain (15 steps) can be set freely by the user.

AE - Bright

The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark, and by iris when bright.

As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching from Full Auto or Shutter Priority Mode to Bright Mode, the current status will be retained for a short period of time.

Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or “Shutter Priority,” you can switch it to “Bright.”

When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter Priority mode is maintained.

Defog mode

When the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and low contrast, the defog mode will make the subject appear clearer.

Wide Dynamic Range Mode (WD)

The Wide Dynamic Range mode is a function for dividing an image into several blocks and correcting blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights in accordance with the intensity difference. It enables you to obtain images in which portions ranging from dark to light can be recognized, even when capturing a subject with a large intensity difference that is backlit or includes extremely light portions.

Images with wide dynamic range are produced by combining long-exposure signals (normal shutter) with the signals of the high-intensity portions obtained with a short exposure (high-speed shutter).

- About WD Set Parameter

(Command: 8x 01 7E 04 00 0p FF)

p: WIDE D (Wide dynamic range mode)

When MODE (exposure mode) is set to FULL AUTO, the camera distinguishes light and dark areas in the same scene, adjusts the brightness for dark areas, and also controls the blown out highlights.

You can select the wide dynamic range mode from among OFF, LOW, MID and HIGH.

(0: OFF, 1: LOW, 2: MID, 3: HIGH.)

Notes

• You can set the wide dynamic range mode when the WIDE D is set to FULL AUTO only.
• When the WIDE D is not set to OFF, the MODE setting is fixed at FULL AUTO.
• When changing the WIDE D, the luminance change of the screen occurs for a moment.
• When the change of exposure is big, the screen may stop for a moment.
• When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, false colors may appear in some parts of the image. This phenomenon is unique to wide dynamic range mode, and is not an indication of a camera malfunction.
• When switching wide dynamic range mode, images are shown at a maximum of 8 frames at the same time.
• When the intensity difference of the image is small, there is no difference in effect between MID and HIGH.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode, by steps of 1.5 dB.

The reference brightness is 0.

Parameter Step	Setting value
0E +7 +1 0.5 dB
0D +6 +9 dB
0C +5 +7.5 dB
0B +4 +6 dB
0A +3 +4.5 dB
09 +2 +3 dB
08 +1 +1.5 dB
07 0 0 dB
06 -1 -1.5 dB
05 -2 -3 dB
04 -3 -4.5 dB
03 -4 -6 dB
02 -5 -7.5 dB
01 -6 -9 dB
00 -7 -10.5 dB

High Resolution Mode

This mode enhances edges and produces higher definition images.

Aperture Control

Aperture control is a function which adjusts the enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture. There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from “no enhancement.” When shooting text, this control may help by making them sharper.

Back Light Compensation

When the background of the subject is too bright, or when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE mode, back light compensation will make the subject appear clearer.

Noise Reduction

The NR (Noise Reduction) function removes noise (both random and non-random) to provide clearer images.

This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off. The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain, and this setting value determines the limit of the effect. In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not have an effect.

High Sensitivity Mode

In this mode, higher sensitivity gain is applied as standard gain increases, reaching a gain level at MAX gain of up to 4x the standard gain. In such cases, however, there will be a high volume noise in the image.

Gamma Mode

In this mode, the gamma can be set to ON/OFF.

0: Standard

1: OFF

Image Stabilizer

You can set this function to ON or OFF. When set to ON, you can obtain steadier images if vibration is present. This stabilizer is effective for vibration frequencies around 10 Hz. This function utilizes digital zoom; therefore, the angle of view and resolution of images may be affected. However, image sensitivity is retained.

OFF: The image stabilizer function is not effective operations.

ON: The image stabilizer function is effective operations.

Notes

• The image stabilizer function is not effective during pan/tilt operations. It may take some time for the image to stabilize after performing pan/tilt operations.
• If the image stabilizer function is enabled, it may take some time for the image to stabilize after turning on the power of the camera.
• Depending on the installation conditions, the image stabilizer may not be effective.
• The image stabilizer may not be effective in an installation environment where high frequency vibration is present. In this case, set the image stabilizer function to OFF.

Auto Slow Shutter On/Off

When set to “On,” the slow shutter functions automatically when the light darkens. This setting is available only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.” The default setting is “Auto Slow Shutter Off.”

Low-Illumination Chroma Suppress Mode

You can configure a chroma suppress mode for low-illumination conditions. This can be useful when color noise is particularly noticeable in such conditions.

Four levels (disabled and three levels) are available for the low-illumination chroma suppress mode.

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode

The IR Cut-Filter can be disengaged, by which the sensitivity in the infrared range is increased, allowing the camera to capture the image in darker area.

When the auto ICR mode is set to ON, the image becomes black and white.

Color Gain

You can configure the color gain. Use this setting when bright color is particularly important.

The initial setting 100% (4h) can be set to range from approx. 60% (0h) to 200% (Eh) with 15 stages.

Color Phase

You can configure green, yellow, red, magenta, blue and cyan individually.

The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between approx. -14 degrees (0h) to +14 degrees (Eh), in 15 increments.

Auto ICR Mode

Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter.

With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically disabled (ICR ON), and the infrared sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF).

Also, on systems equipped with an IR light, the internal data of the camera is used to make the proper decisions to avoid malfunctions.

Auto ICR Mode operates with the AE Full Auto setting.

Note

Depending on the information such as brightness, etc., in the ON/OFF settings condition, a malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue and green colors are taken.

Camera ID

The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside, data will be saved.

Picture Effect

It consists of the following functions.

• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal
- Black & White: Monochrome Image

PAN/TILT SLOW mode

When this function is set to ON, the PAN/TILT movement slows down, allowing you to easily shoot the subject that moves slowly.

Note

The low-speed motion image may appear to be shaking depending on the zoom factor.

Check for influence of installation environment on infrared remote commander operation

The supplied infrared remote commander may not operate, only occasionally, in the vicinity of the inverter lighting device. In this case, it is possible that the camera is installed in a place where the infrared remote commander cannot stably receive light due to the emission of light from the lighting device.

If the installation environment is judged to be unstable for operating the infrared remote commander, try to take such measures as to install this unit in a place away from the lighting device having the influence, and so on.

Others

STANDBY

Sends the power off command. Or when the power is turned off using the infrared remote commander, the camera becomes STANDBY state.

In the STANDBY state, the camera can accept only the VISCA Commands and the POWER ON of the infrared remote commander, and the video signal output and other operations are stopped.

I/F Clear

Clears the Command buffer of the camera. The buffer is cleared even during the power on state using the control software.

Command List

VISCA ¹⁾ RS-422

Commands

Use of RS-422 control software based upon this command list may cause malfunction or damage to hardware and software. Sony Corporation is not liable for any such damage.

Overview of VISCA

In VISCA, the device outputting the commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, while the device receiving the commands, such as this unit, is called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS-422 standard. The parameters of RS-422 are as follows.

• Communication speed: 9600 bps/38400 bps
• Data bits : 8
• Start bit : 1
• Stop bit : 1
• Non parity

Flow control using XON/XOFF and RTS/CTS, etc., is not supported.

Note

For this camera, one controller can be connected to one SRG-360SHE/SRG-280SHE. To connect multiple SRG-360SHE/SRG-280SHE devices, use VISCA over IP. For the use of VISCA over IP, refer to “VISCA over IP” (page 22).

VISCA Communication Specifications

VISCA packet structure

The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a packet (Fig. 2). The first byte of the packet is called the header and comprises the sender's and receiver's addresses. The value of the header is fixed as 81h, as only one camera can be operated from the controller via the RS-422 connection for this camera. In the command list, this is indicated as 8X. Replace this "X" with the SRG address appropriately (for this camera, this is locked to 1). The header of reply packet is 90h.

When the terminator is FFh, it signifies the end of the packet.

Fig. 2 Packet structure
¹⁾ The maximum length of the message is 15 bytes (the maximum length of the packet is 17 bytes) only for commands to set the camera position.

Note

Fig. 2 shows the packet structure, while Fig. 3 shows the actual waveform. Data flow will take place with the LSB first.

Fig. 3 Actual waveform for 1 byte.

Timing Chart

If two or more commands are to be sent successively, wait for a reply command (an Acknowledge or error message for a general command, and an inquiry packet for an inquiry command) of the previous command to be received before sending the next command.

Responses for commands and inquiries

● Acknowledge message

A message returned by this unit when it receives a command. No Acknowledge message is returned for an inquiry, cancel, or device setting command.

● Completion message

A message returned by this unit when the execution of command or inquiry is completed. In the case of inquiry commands, reply data for the inquiry is contained after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the Acknowledge message is omitted, the socket number will contain 0.

Reply Packet Note

Acknowledge X0 4Y FF Y = socket number

Completion (Commands) X0 5Y FF Y = socket number

Completion (Inquiries) X0 5Y ... FF Y = socket number

Locked to X=9 for this camera.

- Error message

When a command could not be executed or failed, an error message is returned instead of an Acknowledge message. In some commands (such as zoom) in which the process is not completed immediately after the Acknowledge message, an error message may be returned after an Acknowledge message. When an inquiry command could not be executed or failed, an error message is returned instead of a completion message.

X0 6Y 04 FF	Command canceled
X0 6Y 05 FF	No socket (to be canceled)
X0 6Y 41 FF	Command not executable
Locked to X=9 for this camera.

Socket number

This unit has two sets of sockets (buffers) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received. When this unit receives commands, it notifies the sender which socket was used, using the socket number of the Acknowledge message. As each of the completion message and error message also has a socket number, you can identify which command has ended.

When sending the commands continuously, be sure to wait until an Acknowledge message or error message of the first command is returned, then send the next command. (Otherwise, it is impossible to identify to which command the socket number belongs.)

Even when two sockets are being used, the device setting commands and some inquiry messages can be executed.

The Acknowledge message is not returned for these commands and inquiries, and only the completion message of socket number 0 is returned.

Command execution cancel

To cancel a command which has already been sent, send a Cancel command as the next command.

Cancel Packet Note

Cancel 8X 2Y FF Y = socket number

VISCA over IP

Overview of VISCA over IP

VISCA over IP allows you to control this unit from the controller with the IP communication function via the LAN by using VISCA.

You can connect up to 5 controllers simultaneously on the network.

The communication specifications of VISCA over IP are as follows:

- Interface

RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX (automatically discrimination)

- Internet protocol

IPv4

- Transport protocol

UDP

- IP address

Set by the IP card setting command

- Port address

52381

- Delivery confirmation/Retransmission control

Depends on the application

In this section, the device outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, and this unit and the devices connected to the same LAN are called the peripheral device. In the connection using RS-232/RS-422, the controllers and peripheral devices are connected to a one-direction ring. On the IP communication connection, the controllers and peripheral devices are connected by star type through a LAN.

IP communication connection

While the IP communication connection, the address of each device cannot be set in the VISCA message as it is because the controllers and peripheral devices that are connected simultaneously are increased. In this case, addresses of the controllers and peripheral devices that are set in the VISCA message are locked to 0 (for the controller) or 1 (for the peripheral device).

For details of the IP address setting procedure, see “IP Related Setting Command” (page 26).

Communication method of VISCA over IP

Communication method

VISCA over IP can process the VISCA communication between the controllers and peripheral devices using the messages that can be identified on the LAN, and sends/receives them. Because of this, VISCA over IP is not concerned about the contents of the communication between the controllers and peripheral devices. However, the VISCA communication sequence is different, depending on the types, as follows.

VISCA command

This is a command from the controller to the peripheral device.

When the peripheral device receives this command, Acknowledge is returned. After completing command processing, a completion notice is returned. This command uses the socket of VISCA. The order of completion notices may be changed if the multiple commands are sent to the same peripheral device.

VISCA inquiry

This is an inquiry from the controller to the peripheral device.

When the peripheral device receives this type of command, the reply for the inquiry is returned. This command does not use the socket of VISCA. The order of the replies is not changed if a multiple commands are sent.

VISCA reply

This is an Acknowledge, completion notice, reply, or error reply from the peripheral device to the controller. The classification for sending messages from the peripheral device to the controller is common.

VISCA device setting command

This is the device setting command from the controller to the peripheral device.

When the peripheral device receives this classifications command, the peripheral device performs the function depend on the command.

- Address

Sets the address of the peripheral device, and does not return a reply to the controller. While using VISCA over IP, the address command is not sent from the controller because a Network Change command from the peripheral device that triggers sending command is not issued.

- IF\_Clear

Sends the reply message to the controller after clearing, without using VISCA socket.

- CAM\_VersionInq

Sends the reply message to the controller, without using VISCA socket.

Format

These are the specifications of the message header (8 bytes) and payload (1 to 16 bytes).

Message structure

Note

The actual LAN out method is big-endian, LSB first.

Payload type

Stores the value (Byte 0 and Byte 1) of the following table on the payload division.

Name Value (Byte 0) Value (Byte 1) Description
VISCA command 01h 00h Stores the VISCA command.
VISCA inquiry 01h 10h Stores the VISCA inquiry.
VISCA reply 01h 11h Stores the reply for the VISCA command and VISCA inquiry,or VISCA device setting command.
VISCA device setting command	01h 20h Stores the VISCA device setting command.
Control command 02h 00h Stores the control command.
Control reply 02h 01h Stores the reply for the control command.

Payload length

Stores the number of bytes (1 to 16) of data is stored on the payload.

Example: When the payload length is 16 bytes.

Byte 2:00h

Byte 3:10h

Sequence number

The controller stores the sequence number that is added every time a message is sent. If the sequence number reaches the limit, next value will be 0. The peripheral device saves the sequence number in the message from the controller, and stores the sequence number of the received message corresponding to the message sent to the controller.

Payload

Depending on the payload type, the following are stored.

• VISCA command

Stores the packet of the VISCA command.

• VISCA inquiry

Stores the packet of VISCA message.

• VISCA reply

Stores the reply for the command or inquiry (Acknowledge message, completion message, or error message).

• VISCA device setting command

Stores the packet of the VISCA device setting command.

- Control command

The following are stored on the payload division of the control command.

Name Value Description
RESET 01h Resets	the sequence number to 0. The value that was set as the sequence number is ignored.
ERROR 0Fyyh yy=01: Abnormality in the sequence number.

- Controlled reply

The following are stored on the payload division of the reply for the control command.

Message	Value Description
Acknowledge	01h Reply for	RESET.

Delivery confirmation

VISCA over IP uses UDP as a communications protocol of the transport layer. Delivery of messages is not guaranteed for the UDP communication. Delivery confirmation and retransmission should be performed on the application.

When the controller sends a message to the peripheral device, wait until a reply for the message is received before sending the next message. You can confirm delivery of messages by managing the time-out waiting for a reply message sent.

If time out occurs on the controller, loss of one of the following messages is considered:

- Command

- Acknowledge message

•Completion message for the command

•Inquiry

• Reply message for the inquiry

- Error message

- Inquiry of the VISCA device setting command

- Reply message of the VISCA device setting command

If time out occurs on the controller, you can infer the lost message and state of the peripheral device by retransmitting the message using the same sequence number. The following table shows the received message and status by retransmission of the lost message, and the reference of correspondence after retransmission for each case. (Except for the case that a time out occurs for reasons other than loss of message.)

Lost message Received message for retransmission		Status after retransmission Correspondence after retransmission
Command Acknowledge message	Command is performed by retransmission.	Continue processing.
Acknowledge message ERROR	(Abnormality in the sequence number.)	Command has been performed.If only the Acknowledgement message is lost, the completion message returns.	If the result by the completion message is needed,retransmit by updating the sequence number.
Completion message for the command	ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number.)	Command has been performed.	If the result by the completion message is needed,retransmit by updating the sequence number.
Inquiry Reply message Inquiry	is performed by retransmission.	Continue processing.
Reply message for the inquiry	ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number.)	Inquiry has been performed. If there result by the reply message is needed,retransmit by updating the sequence number.
Error message Error message	Command is not performed. If the error cause eliminates, normal reply is returned.(Acknowledge, reply message).	Eliminate the error cause. If normal reply returns, continue processing.
Inquiry of the VISCA device setting command	Reply message of the VISCA device setting command	Inquiry has been performed by retransmission.	Continue processing.
Reply message of the VISCA device setting command	ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number.)	Inquiry has been performed. If there result by the reply message is needed,retransmit by updating the sequence number.

This unit has 2 sockets for the command to deal with advanced uses. When using VISCA over IP, up to 2 commands (including the current command) can be received. Depending on the message from the controller to the peripheral device, there are some messages that do not need to guarantee delivery. However, the peripheral device receives commands from multiple controllers while connected to VISCA over IP. If the multiple commands are sent without waiting for the reply, the possibility of non-execution of the command and errors due to socket overflow become high, because of limitations of order to receive commands or execution interval of command. It may reduce the substantial efficiency.

IP Related Setting Command

The following commands are provided for setting the IP address and name of this unit.

No. Name Description
1 Setting	Protocol:Inquiry	The controller inquires the network setting for the camera.
2 Setting	Protocol:Inquiry reply	The camera replies according to the inquiry from the controller.
3 Setting	Protocol:Network setting	The controller sets the network setting of the camera.
4 Setting	Protocol:Network setting reply	The camera replies according to the network setting of the controller.

The network setting of the IP card is performed as communication sequence in the following.

1 Inquiry

The controller sends the inquiry packet to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255), specified port number (52380) of UDP. The IP card replies as the inquiry reply packet.

2 Network setting

The controller sends the network setting packet to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255), specified port number (52380) of UDP. The receiving side sees the MAC address unit in the packet, and returns Acknowledge as the network setting reply if it is the request for the receiving side.

Note

This camera requires up to 30 sec. to reflect the settings, after sending the network setting responses. Make sure to send the next network setting command after 30 sec. passes. If this camera receives network command during this 30 sec from controller, this camera returns the setting response data with NAK set.
