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^ to 40^ [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 CCD image sensors. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the image sensors of the camera.

Phenomena Specific to CCD Image Sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

White flecks

Although the CCD 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 CCD 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

  • An EX-view HAD™ CCD features 380,000 (NTSC) or 440,000(PAL) effective picture elements and high-sensitivity shooting. The minimum illumination required is 0.7 lx (1/60 sec. (NTSC), 1/50 sec. (PAL), ICR OFF). (EVI-D90N/D90P)
  • A CCD features 380,000 (NTSC) or 440,000(PAL) effective picture elements and high-sensitivity shooting. The minimum illumination required is 0.4 lx (1/60 sec. (NTSC), 1/50 sec. (PAL)). (EVI-D80N/D80P)
  • The EVI-D90N/D90P are equipped with a bright zoom lens with 28× optical zoom and F1.35 aperture.
  • The EVI-D80N/D80P are equipped with a bright zoom lens with 18× optical zoom.
  • A newly-developed Processor provides high resolution images.
  • By adopting its wide and dynamic range functions, you can see the optimised shooting image which incorporates bright and dark subjects at the same time (EVI-D90N/D90P).
  • 3D Low-noise images can be obtained even in low-light environments using the Noise Reduction function.
  • Adopts the industry standard RS-232C interface of VISCA camera protocol in external communication. It is possible to operate from long distances by using both RS-232C and RS-422.
  • You can install the camera on ceilings due to the functions of high-speed and wide range pan/tilt action and vertical image flip.
  • You can use the infrared remote commander to set the camera and also to select panning, tilting and zooming from the setting menu.
  • You can store up to 6 kinds of camera direction and camera status into the camera.

Attaching the Camera to a Tripod

Attach a tripod to the screw hole used for attaching a tripod on the bottom of the camera.

The tripod must be set up on a flat surface and its screws tightened firmly by hand.

Use a tripod with screws of the following specifications.

SONY EVI-D90N - Attaching the Camera to a Tripod - 1

$$ \begin{array}{l} \ell = 4. 3 - 5 \mathrm{mm} \ \ell = 0. 1 7 - 0. 2 0 \text { inches } \ \end{array} $$

Caution

Installation of the camera using the tripod screws and screw holes should not be done for installation on a ceiling or a shelf, etc., in a high position.

Installing the unit on the ceiling

Using the ceiling bracket, wire rope, and screws supplied, you can utilize existing junction boxes, etc., to attach the camera to the ceiling.

When you install the unit, always install it on a level ceiling. If you have to install it on a sloping or uneven ceiling, make sure that the place where you install it is within ±15 degrees of the horizontal.

CAUTION

  • Entrust installation to an experienced contractor or installer when installing the unit on ceilings or other high locations.
  • When installing the unit in a high location, be sure that the location and installation components (excluding the supplied accessories) are strong enough to withstand at least 20 kg of weight, and install the unit securely. If the components are not strong enough, the unit may fall and cause serious injury.

• Always install the supplied wire rope to prevent the unit from falling.
- If you install the unit in a high location, check periodically, at least once a year, to ensure that the connection has not loosened. If conditions warrant, make this periodic check more frequently.

Before installation

After deciding the direction in which the camera will shoot, make the required holes for the junction box, and connecting cables.

Note

The connecting cables cannot be passed through ceiling bracket (A). A hole for the wiring is required in the ceiling at the back of the unit where it is attached to the ceiling.

Installation

1 Set the IMAGE FLIP switch on the rear panel to ON.

Notes

  • Make sure that the BOTTOM switch is set to the correct position. See “Setting of the BOTTOM switches” (page 62).
  • If you set the IMAGE FLIP switch to ON after turning on the power, the image will not be flipped. Turn the power off once, then on again, and the image will be flipped. It takes about 7 to 16 seconds to display the image.
  • When you toggle the IMAGE FLIP switch, the pre-set settings will all be returned to the initial settings.

2 Attach the wire rope to the junction box in the ceiling.

Use a screw hole and a screw (not supplied) in the junction box to attach the wire rope.
