Basic Functions

Basic Functions
Overview of Functions
Zoom
The EVI-D100/P uses an 10× optical zoom lens. And
its digital zoom function allows you to zoom up to
40×.
• Optical 10×, f = 3.1 to 31 mm (F 1.8 to F 2.9)
The horizontal angle of view is approximately 65
degrees (wide end) to 6.6 degrees (tele end).
Digital zoom increases the picture element size and
reduces the resolution.
Extended control of zoom:
• Direct zoom position
• Zoom speed selection (8 speeds)
• Digital zoom can be switched ON/OFF

Focus
The minimum focus distance is 100 mm at the optical
wide end and 600 mm at the optical tele end, and is
independent of the digital zoom.
The AutoFocus (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.
Note

AVOID 24-hour continuous use of the autofocus. This
may cause lens malfunction.
All of these settings are performed via RS-232C
control. If the RS-232C is not used, white balance, iris
and gain adjustments will be carried out automatically,
and the shutter speed will be fixed at 1/60 seconds for
the EVI-D100 and 1/50 seconds for the EVI-D100P.

Extended control of focus:
• Direct focus position
• Minimum focus distance limitation
• Manual focus speed selection (8 speeds)
• AutoFocus can be set to High or Low mode
• One Push AF can be achieved in manual focus mode
• HIGH AF
High reaction speed of the AF. Use this mode when
shooting fast moving objects. Recommended as the
optimum mode for normal NON-CONTINUOUS
use.
• LOW AF
Better focus stability. In low luminance conditions,
the AF discontinues operation even when brightness
changes, enabling stable images.

White Balance
• Auto
Auto Tracing White Balance with limitations on R
and B gain (3000 to 7500 K), to avoid fixing single
color scenes as ‘white’
• ATW
Auto Tracing White balance (2000 to 10000 K)
• Indoor
3200 K
• Outdoor
5800 K
• One Push WB
One Push White Balance 1)
• Manual WB
Manual control of R and B gain, 256 steps each

7

Basic Functions
1) 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 1/2 of the
image, is submitted to the camera.
Selecting the One Push White Balance mode recalls the white
balance data computed at the last One Push Trigger, if the
BACKUP switch is set to ON and the camera has been
connected to an AC outlet. The data is erased when the camera is
disconnected from the AC outlet. Adjust the One Push White
Balance again on the next time it is used.

AE – Shutter priority
The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a
total of 20 steps – 16 high speeds and 4 low speeds.
When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be 1/30s (1/
1
1
1
1
1
1
25s), /15s ( /12s), /8s ( /6s), /4s ( /3s) for NTSC (PAL)
models. 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
1/10,000s.
The iris and gain are set automatically, according to
the brightness of the subject.

Automatic Exposure Mode
This mode is set to “Full Auto” at shipment.
Altogether 9 modes are available, including this one.
• Full Auto
Auto Iris and Gain, Fixed Shutter (EVI-D100:
1/60 sec., EVI-D100P: 1/50 sec.)
• Shutter Priority 1)
Variable Shutter Speed, Auto Iris and Gain
(1/4 (EVI-D100) or 1/3 (EVI-D100P) to 1/10,000
sec., 20 steps, std. shutter: 16 steps, slow shutter: 4
steps)

AE – Manual
The shutter speed (20 steps), iris (18 steps) and gain (8
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. Only when the
AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or “Shutter Priority,”
can you switch the mode to “Bright.”

When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the
Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter
Priority mode is maintained. After that, you can set the
shutter speed as you wish, independent of the Bright
mode control.
AE – Shutter Auto
The iris and gain are set freely by the user, and the
shutter speed changes automatically according to the
brightness of the subject.
Slow shutter is disabled.
AE – Iris Auto
The gain and shutter speed are set freely by the user,
and the iris changes automatically according to the
brightness of the subject.
AE – Gain Auto
The iris and shutter speed are set freely by the user,
and the gain changes automatically according to the
brightness of the subject.

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.

Picture Effect
It consists of the following functions.
• Pastel: Pastel Image
• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal
• Sepia: Sepia Image
• Black White: Monochrome Image
• Solarize: Enhanced Contrast
• Mosaic: Mosaic Image
• Slim: Vertical Stretch
• Stretch: Horizontal Stretch

Others
Mirror image
The video output from the camera can be reversed left
and right using this function.
Freeze
This function captures an image in the field memory of
the camera so that this image can be output
continuously.
Memory (Position preset)
Using the position preset function, 6 sets of camera
shooting conditions can be stored and recalled.
This function allows the desired zoom position, focus
(auto, manual positions), white balance, shutter speed,
bright control, iris, gain, exposure compensation, back
light compensation, and aperture to be set
instantaneously without having to adjust them
individually each time. It also memorizes the settings
for digital zoom on/off, slow shutter auto/manual.
Backup
Backs up the contents memorized by the memory
(position preset) function and the camera functions
when the power is turned OFF.
The BACKUP switch can be switched as follows.
• ON side
Backs up for about one year when the internal
battery is fully recharged.
(Full recharge takes about 48 hours in power ON
state.)
• OFF side
No back up. The switch is set to OFF at shipment.
(All settings return to initial values when the power
is turned on the next time.)
Slow shutter – Auto/Manual
When set to “Auto,” ensures that the slow shutter is set
automatically when the brightness drops. Effective
only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”
Set to “Slow Shutter Manual” at shipment.

Command List

Command List
VISCA1)/RS-232C
Commands
Use of RS-232C 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

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.
Fig. 1 VISCA network configuration

In VISCA, the side outputting commands, for example,
a computer, is called the controller, while the side
receiving the commands, such as an EVI-D100/P, is
called the peripheral device. The EVI-D100/P serves
as a peripheral device in VISCA. In VISCA, up to
seven peripheral devices like the EVI-D100/P can be
connected to one controller using communication
conforming to the RS-232C standard. The parameters
of RS-232C are as follows.
• Communication speed: 9600 bps
• Data bits : 8
• Start bit : 1
• Stop bit : 1
• Non parity
• MSB first
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 onedirection ring, so that messages return to the controller
via the peripheral devices. The devices on the network
are assigned addresses.

Command List

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-D100/P assigned address 1 from the
controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet

sent to the EVI-D100/P assigned address 2 is 82H. In
the command list, as the header is 8X, input the
address of the EVI-D100/P at X. The header of the
reply packet from the EVI-D100/P assigned address 1
is 90H. The packet from the EVI-D100/P assigned
address 2 is A0H.
Some of the commands for setting EVI-D100/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.

Command List
Responses for commands and inquiries

Command execution cancel

● ACK message
Returned by the EVI-D100/P when it receives a
command. No ACK message is returned for
inquiries.

To cancel a command which has already been sent,
send the IF_Clear command as the next command. To
cancel one of any two commands which have been
sent, use the cancel message.

● Completion message
Returned by the EVI-D100/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.

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

X = 9 to F: EVI-D100/P address + 8, Y = socket number

Socket number
When command messages are sent to the EVI-D100/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-D100/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-D100/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-D100/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.

D30/D31 Mode
Overview

Switching the Mode

The D30/D31 mode allows you to control the EVID100/P using VISCA commands for the EVI-D30/
D31.
Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P
correspond to one for the EVI-D30/D31. However,
some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-D100/P
are different from those for the EVI-D30/D31 in
definitions of parameters.
When you send those commands to an EVI-D100/P
whose D30/D31 mode is set to ON, the camera
translates the parameters for the EVI-D30/D31 to those
for the EVI-D100/P and executes the command. The
following parameters are subject to translation.

You can switch the D30/D31 mode ON or OFF by
switching the D30/D31 mode switch at the bottom of
the EVI-D100/P. To change the D30/D31 mode
setting, move the D30/D31 mode 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. If you change
the switch setting while the camera’s power is on, the
mode of the camera will not change.
At the moment you turn the D30/D31 mode on or off,
the data backed up in the camera is erased and the
settings return to their initial values.

• Zoom speed
• Zoom position
• Focus position
• Shutter speed
• Pan-tilt speed
• Pan-tilt position
Notes

• Even if you set the D30/D31 mode to ON, the EVID100/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-D100/P cannot be
executed.

The EVI-D100/P translates the parameters to let the
camera obtain the same zoom position that is defined
by the D30/D31’s parameter.
The digital zoom function is always set to ON.
However, when you use the CAM_Zoom Tele/Wide
command or the Remote Commander, the available
zoom range is equal to the zoom range of the EVID100/P (0000h to 7000h).

The D100/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 5700h (closer to the
telephoto side), the camera sends back 03FFh.

Translation when answering inquiry
commands
The EVI-D100/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.

Pan/tilt speed
The actual speed that is defined by the parameters
corresponds to that of the EVI-D30/D31.
When the camera accepts commands such as PantiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall, the
