Basic Functions

Zoom

The camera employs an 18× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function allowing you to zoom up to 216×.

Lens specifications: Optical 18×, f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm (F1.4 to F3.0)

The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48 degrees (wide end) to 2.7 degrees (tele end). Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by expanding each image in both the vertical and horizontal directions. When 12 × digital zoom is used, the number of effective picture elements in each direction reduces to ^1/12 and the overall resolution deteriorates.

You can activate the zoom in the following two ways:

• By pressing the TELE or WIDE buttons on the Remote Commander.
  • Using a VISCA Command

Using Standard Mode Using Variable Mode

There are eight levels of zoom speed.

Direct Mode

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

Digital Zoom ON/OFF

In these standard and variable Speed Modes, it is necessary to send a "Stop Command" to stop the zoom operation.

- The Zoom Mode supports a Combined Mode and a Separate Mode.

Combined Mode

This is the previously existing zoom method. After the optical zoom has reached its maximum level, the camera switches to Digital Zoom Mode.

Separate Mode

In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom can be operated separately. You can use digital zoom magnification at any time from within any level of optical magnification.

Focus

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

- Auto Focus Mode

The minimum focus distance is 10 mm at the optical wide end (extreme close-up settings with VISCA control) and 800 mm at the optical tele end (distance from the front end of the lens), and is independent of the digital zoom.

The AutoFocus (AF) function automatically adjusts the focus position to maximize the high frequency content of the picture in a center measurement area, taking into consideration the high luminance and strong contrast components.

• Normal AF Mode
  This is the normal mode for AF operations.
• Interval AF Mode

The mode used for AF movements carried out at defined 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 with the TELE or the WIDE buttons, the pre-set value (initially set at 5 seconds) becomes that for AF Mode. Then, it returns to Manual Focus mode.

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.

To avoid AF error from continuous 24 hour AF mode usage, daily initialization of lens system using the CAM\_Initialize command is recommended.

The CAM_Initialize command takes less than 3 seconds to initialize the focus and zoom.

- Manual Focus Mode

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

Will not stop by this command itself in Standard Speed Mode and Variable Speed Mode. To stop, a Stop command must be sent.

- One Push Trigger Mode

When a Trigger Command is received, the lens moves to adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then holds the same 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 C000 (10 mm). The focus range is narrowed by excluding the unnecessary range.

White Balance

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

• 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 3000 to 7500K. This mode is the default setting.

• ATW

Auto Tracing White balance (2000 to 10000 K)

- Indoor

3200 K Base Mode

- Outdoor

5800 K Base Mode

- One Push WB

The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting conditions and occupying more than 12 of the image, is submitted to the camera.

One Push White Balance data is lost when the power is turned off. If the power is turned off, reset the One Push White Balance.

- Manual WB

Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each

Automatic Exposure Mode

The variety of AE functions, which allow video signal to output the optimum image for subjects from low light conditions to bright light conditions, are available.

• Full Auto

Auto Iris and Gain, Fixed Shutter Speed (NTSC: ^1/60 s, PAL: ^1/50 s)

- Shutter Priority ^1)

Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain ( ^1/1 to ^1/10,000 s, 22 steps, std. shutter: 16 steps, slow shutter: 6 steps)

- Iris Priority

Variable Iris (F1.4 to Close, 18 steps), Auto Gain and Shutter speed.

- Manual

Variable Shutter, Iris and Gain.

- Bright

Variable Iris and Gain (Close to F1.6, 17 steps at 0 dB: F1.4, 15 steps from 0 to 28 dB)

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 130 , 115 , 18 , or 14 s. The picture output is read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate from the CCD. AF capability is low.

In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to 110,000 s. The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.

AE - Manual

The shutter speed (22 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain (16 steps) can be set freely by the user.

AE - Bright

The bright control function adjusts both the 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," the user 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.

Spot Exposure Mode

In Full Auto AE, the level for the entire screen is computed and the optimum Auto Iris and Gain levels are determined. In Spot AE, a particular section of the subject can be designated, and then that portion of the image can be weighted and a value computed so that Iris and Gain can be optimized to obtain an image. For example, in an image with a lot of movement and with varying levels of brightness, portions without much change can be designated as such a “spot,” and changes to the screen can be minimized in that area. As shown in the diagram below, a range of 16 blocks vertically and 16 blocks horizontally can be designated.

In the case where the center is designated (shown in black), the level is computed along with a weighted value for the surrounding block (shaded), including the specified portions; and then the Gain and Iris are set. The value of the designated portions and the surrounding areas should be calculated as 90% and the rest should be set to 10%.

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.

Data Step		Setting value
0E 7 10.5 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

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 the text 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.

Slow Shutter – Auto/Manual

When the Slow Shutter is set to “Auto,” this ensures that the slow shutter is engaged automatically when the brightness drops. This occurs only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”

“Slow Shutter Manual” is the factory setting.

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode

An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the image path for increased sensitivity in low light environments. The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments. If you normally set the IR Cut-Filter to OFF, the image will be black and white (monochrome).

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.

Note

When in Auto_ICR_OFF state and WB data is added (default), a malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue and green colors are taken. Auto ICR is available in AE-full-auto state only.

Camera ID

The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000 to FFFF). As this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside the camera, data will be saved, regardless of the “position preset.”

Effect

It consists of the following functions.

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

Others

IMAGE FLIP

The image output by the camera is flipped upside down, and the direction of Pan/Tilt movements are reversed using the IMAGE FLIP switch on the back of the unit.

Mirror Image

This function reverses the video output from the camera horizontally.

Freeze

This function captures an image in the field memory of the camera so that this image can be output continuously.

Because communication inside the camera is based on V cycle, the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after the sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time period after sending EVEN, ODD or a Command.

Power On/Off

Powers the camera on and off. When the power is off, the camera is able to accept only the lowest level of VISCA Commands and POWER of the Remote Commander; the display and other features are turned off.

I/F clear

Clears the Command buffer of the camera. Clearing the buffer can also be carried out from the control application software when the power is on.

Address set

VISCA is a protocol, which normally can support a daisy chain of up to seven attached devices. Therefore, whenever a camera is connected for the first time, be sure to use the address set to confirm the address.

Mute

Blanks the screen and sends out a synchronizing signal.

Lens Initialization

Initializes the zoom and focus of the lens. Even when power is already on, it initializes the zoom and the focus.

AutoPowerOff

If an operation is not attempted via either a VISCA command or the remote controller during a pre-set time period (from 1 to 65,535 minutes), the power will automatically turn off (Standby). To disable this function, set the time period to 0 minutes.

NightPowerOff

When the Alarm function operates in DayNight mode, and the unit judges that it is night, if an operation is not attempted via either a VISCA command or the remote controller during a pre-set time period (from 1 to 65,535 minutes), the power will automatically turn off (Standby). To disable this function, set the time period to 0 minutes.

When the DayNight level is set correctly (the Day level > the Night level), the Alarm function can only be set when the unit is operated in DayNight mode.

For information on DayNight mode settings, see pages 13, 14, and 24.

AutoPowerOff and NightPowerOff can be used at the same time.

However, if the criteria for both are fulfilled at the same time, the shorter of the two time periods until shut down will be used to turn the power off (Standby).

Memory (Position Preset)

Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.

This function allows you to achieve the desired status instantly even without adjusting the following items each time:

• Pan-Tilt position
• Zoom Position
  •Digital Zoom On/Off
  • Focus Auto/Manual
  • Focus Position
  •AE Mode
• Shutter control parameters
  •Bright Control
  •Iris control parameters
  •Gain control parameters
  •Exposure Compensation On/Off

• Exposure Level
  •Backlight Compensation On/Off

• Slow Shutter Auto/Manual

• White Balance Mode
  •R/B Gain
  •Aperture
• ICR Shoot On/Off

The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.

For setting items, see the "Initial Settings, Position Preset" section on page 25.

Alarm

For details, see page 13.

Title Display

The camera can be given a title containing up to 20 characters such as “ENTRANCE” or “LOBBY”. The position of the first character (horizontal, vertical) of the title, blinking state, and color can also be changed.

Alarm Function

This function instructs the camera to detect movement within the monitoring area and then send an alarm signal automatically.

A High level signal is output when camera detects movement inside the monitoring area. A Low level signal is output when object stops moving.

However, when the mode is set to “DAY/NIGHT”, the High level signal is output for dark and the Low level signal is output for bright.

The Detect signal goes out through the serial command (VISCA) communication line.

Example

1. A door is motionless, so the Detect Level is Low.

2. At the moment when the door is opened by someone, the Detect Level goes to High.

3. The Detect Level is High while the shooting object is moving.

4!When the door is closed, Detect Level goes to Low again, or signals are output only once at the time of switching between High Level and Low Level.

Initial Settings, Position Preset

The initial values are those set at the factory. Settings for items in Position presets 1 to 6 that will be retained even when the power to the camera is turned off are indicated by a “O,” those that will be lost are indicated by an “X.”

• When the power is turned on, the settings retained in POSITION 1 will be called up as the initial settings.
• When a CAM_Memory Reset command is sent, or a

choice is made from POSITION 1 to 6 while the RESET button on the remote control is being pressed, the settings selected will be used as the initial settings.

- Position preset 1 becomes VISCA command CAM_Memory memory number 0. Position presets 2 through 6 become VISCA command CAM_Memory memory numbers 1 through 5.

Notes

• The number of times data can be written to the EEPROM (by executing Position Preset) is limited.
• If you want the camera status and Pan/Tilt positions in effect before the camera is turned off to be retained when the power is turned OFF, then turned ON again, have the camera memorize those positions in POSITION 1.
• It takes approximately 2 seconds longer to memorize or erase settings in POSITION 1 than it does to memorize or erase settings in any other channel.
• Camera ID data will be saved regardless of the position preset.
• If Image Flip or D30/D31 mode has been switched, all of the Position Presets are reset to their initial values.
• In D30/D31 mode, the functions of the EVI-D30/D31 are the functions that are memorized.

Command List

VISCA ^1) RS-232C/RS-422 Commands

Use of RS-232C/RS-422 control software which has been developed 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 side outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller, while the side receiving the commands, such as an EVI-D70/P, is called the peripheral device. The EVI-D70/P serves as a peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the EVI-D70/P can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS-232C/RS-422 standard. The parameters of RS-232C/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.

Peripheral devices are connected in a daisy chain. As shown in Fig. 1, the actual internal connection is a one-direction ring, so that messages return to the controller via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network are assigned addresses.

The address of the controller is fixed at 0. The addresses of the peripheral devices are 1, 2, 3 ... in order, starting from the one nearest the controller. The address of the peripheral device is set by sending address commands during the initialization of the network.

The VISCA devices each have a VISCA IN and VISCA OUT connector.

Set the DTR input (the S output of the controller) of VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment from the controller.

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. For example, the header of the packet sent to the EVI-D70/P assigned address 1 from the controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet sent to the EVI-D70/P assigned address 2 is 82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the EVI-D70/P at X. The header of the reply packet from the EVI-D70/P assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the EVI-D70/P assigned address 2 is A0H.

Some of the commands for setting EVI-D70/P units can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast). In the case of broadcast, the header should be hexadecimal 88H.

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

Fig. 2 Packet structure

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

As VISCA Command processing can only be carried out one time in a Vertical cycle, it takes the maximum 1V cycle time for an ACK/Completion to be returned. If the Command ACK/Completion communication time can be cut shorter than the 1V cycle time, then every 1V cycle can receive a Command.

From this point, if 2 or more commands in a row are to be sent, wait for the first command (for normal commands, an ACK or an error message, for query commands, an Inquiry Packet) to be carried out before sending the next one.

Command and inquiry

- Command

Sends operational commands to the EVI-D70/P.

- Inquiry

Used for inquiring about the current state of the EVI-D70/P.

Responses for commands and inquiries

- ACK message

Returned by the EVI-D70/P when it receives a command. No ACK message is returned for inquiries.

- Completion message

Returned by the EVI-D70/P when execution of commands or inquiries is completed. In the case of inquiry commands, it will contain reply data for the inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the ACK message is omitted, the socket number will contain a 0.

Reply Packet Note

Ack X0 4Y FF Y = socket number

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

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

X = 9 to F: EVI-D70/P address + 8

- Error message

When a command or inquiry command could not be executed or failed, an error message is returned instead of the completion message.

Error Packet Description

X0 6Y 01 FF Message length error (>14 bytes)

X0 6Y 02 FF Syntax Error

X0 6Y 03 FF Command buffer full

X0 6Y 04 FF Command cancelled

X0 6Y 05 FF No socket (to be cancelled)

X0 6Y 41 FF Command not executable

X = 9 to F: EVI-D70/P address + 8, Y = socket number

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the EVI-D70/P, it is normal to send the next command message after waiting for the completion message or error message to return. However to deal with advanced uses, the EVI-D70/P has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received. When the EVI-D70/P receives commands, it notifies the sender which command buffer was used using the socket number of the ACK message.

As the completion message or error message also has a socket number, it indicates which command has ended. Even when two command buffers are being used at any one time, an EVI-D70/P management command and some inquiry messages can be executed.

The ACK 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 the Cancel command as the next command. To cancel one of any two commands which have been sent, use the cancel message.

Cancel Packet Note

Cancel 8X 2Y FF Y = socket number

X = 1 to 7: EVI-D70/P address, Y = socket number

The Command canceled error message will be returned for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has been canceled.

VISCA Device Setting Command

Before starting control of the EVI-D70/P, be sure to send the Address command and the IF_Clear command using the broadcast function.

For VISCA network administration

- Address

Sets an address of a peripheral device. Use when initializing the network, and receiving the following network change message.

- Network Change

Sent from the peripheral device to the controller when a device is removed from or added to the network. The address must be re-set when this message is received.

Packet Note

Address 88 30 01 FF Always broadcasted.

Using the VISCA RS-422 connector plug

1 Grasp both ends of the VISCA RS-422 connector plug and pull it away from the rear panel of the camera, as shown in the illustration.

2 Insert a wire (AW G Nos. 28 to 18) into the desired wire opening on the plug, and tighten the screw for that wire using a flat-head screwdriver.

3 Insert the VISCA RS-422 connector plug into the VISCA RS-422 connector on the back of the camera.

Notes

• In order to stabilize the voltage level of the signal, connect both ends to GND.

- Do not make a VISCA RS-232C connection when there is already an existing VISCA RS-422 connection.

D30/D31 Mode

Overview

The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVI-D70/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/D31. Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However, some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in definitions of parameters.

When you send those commands to an EVI-D70/P whose D30/D31 mode is set to ON, the camera translates the parameters for the EVI-D30/D31 to those for the EVI-D70/P and executes the command. The following parameters are subject to translation.

• Zoom speed
• Zoom position
  • Focus position
• Shutter speed
• Pan-tilt speed
• Pan-tilt position
  •Iris
  •Gain

Notes

• Even if you set the D30/D31 mode to ON, the EVI-D70/P may not emulate the EVI-D30/D31 perfectly. This is caused by differences in hardware between the two models.
  •The functions that are provided with the EVI-D30/D31 but not with the EVI-D70/P cannot be executed.

Switching the Mode

You can switch the D30/D31 mode ON or OFF by switching the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-D70/P. To change the D30/D31 mode setting, move the BOTTOM switch to ON or OFF while the camera's power is off or the camera is in standby mode. Then, turn the power on by connecting the camera to an AC outlet or by using the VISCA commands or the Remote Commander.

It takes about 7 seconds for the image to be displayed after Pan/Tilt initialization motion has stopped.

Do not turn off DC power until the image has been displayed.

The mode will not change if you change the switch setting of the BOTTOM switch after the power has been turned on.

After you change the mode, previously saved position preset data will be lost. (Zoom, Pan/Tilt positions, etc. will be reset to their initial settings.)

EVI-D70/P 0000h (WIDE) to 7AC0h (TELE, digital 12×)

Translation of commands

Accepted parameters Translation

0000h to 03FFh Translates within a rage of 08D0h to 5700h

The EVI-D70/P translates the parameters to let the camera obtain the same zoom position that is defined by the D30/D31's parameter.

(The values given below are calculated values.)

Viewing angle

graph LR

    F --> K["Wide end"]
    G --> L["Tele end"]

The D70/P parameters that correspond to the Wide and the Tele end of the D30/D31 are approximately 0000h and 3B4Bh. However, at the Wide end, the horizontal viewing angles are 48.8^ for the D30/D31, and 48.0^ for the D70/P.

Received parameters (0000h \~ 03FFh) will be converted within a range of 0000h to 3B4Bh. For D30/D31 mode, the setting will normally be Digital Zoom OFF

However, for CAM Zoom Tele/Wide commands and operations from the remote control, movement within the over all limits of the D70/P Zoom (0000h \~ 7AC0/77C0h) is possible.

Translation when answering inquiry commands

Parameters Translation

0000h to 4000h Translates within a rage of 0000h to 03FFh

The D70/P's parameters are translated to those of the D30/D31.

However, even if the zoom position value is less than 08D0h (closer to the wide side), the camera sends back 0000h to the controller. On the other hand, even if that value is greater than 3B4Bh (closer to the telephoto side), the camera sends back 03FFh.

Focus position

Cameras Parameters

EVI-D30/D31 1000h (FAR) to 9FFFh (NEAR, 1 cm)

EVI-D70/P 1000h (FAR) to C000h (NEAR, 10 cm)

Translation of commands

Accepted parameters Translation

Values less than 8400h Accepts as is

Values greater than 8400h Translates to 8400h

Because the range of the D70/P is narrower than that of the D30/D31, emulation is not carried out to match the actual focus position (focal point) to that of the D30/D31.

The EVI-D70/P operational range of (1000h (FAR) \~ C000h (NEAR, 1cm)) is emulated within the operational range of the EVI-D30/D31 (1000h (FAR) \~ 9FFFh (NEAR, 1cm)).

Translation when answering inquiry commands

The EVI-D70/P translates its parameters to the D30/D31's parameters and sends them back. However, during the period from the instant the camera accepts the CAM_Shutter Direct command to the instant the camera accepts another CAM_Shutter or CAM_AE command, it sends back the current D30/D31 parameters.

Translation when answering inquiry commands

The camera sends back values that are calculated by inverse conversion performed when the camera accepts commands.

Note

Repetitive use of the Absolute position command may increase the variance that is accumulated from translation.

Example

When you execute the Relative position command 88 times, one step after another to turn the camera to the right side:

Cameras	Results
EVI-D30/D31	Turns to the right side by 10 degrees.
EVI-D70/P whose D30/D31 mode is ON	Turns to the right side by 6.6 degrees.

For Absolute Position commands, the permissible range for drive settings are the same as those for the EVI-D30/D31.

Pan direction: -100 degrees to + 100 degrees.

Tilt direction: -25 degrees to + 25 degrees.
