Basic Functions

Overview of Functions

Zoom

The camera employs a 20× optical zoom lens combined

with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to

zoom up to 240×.

Optical 20×, f = 4.7 mm to 94.0 mm (F 1.6 to F 3.5)

The horizontal angle of view (1080i mode) is

approximately 55.4 degrees (wide end) to 2.9 degrees

(tele end).

Digital Zoom enlarges the center of the subject by

expanding each image in both the vertical and

horizontal directions. When 240× 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 ways with 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 Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

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 and 800 mm at the optical tele end, and is

independent of the digital zoom.

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.

- 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 pre-set value

(initially set at 5 seconds) becomes that for AF

Mode. Then, it stops.

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 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.

Basic Functions

In these standard and variable Speed 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

(10 mm).

Default setting: D000h (30 cm)

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 3,000 to 7,500 K.

This mode is the default setting.

Indoor

3,200 K Base Mode

Outdoor

5,800 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 1/2 of the

image, is captured by 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

A variety of AE functions are available for optimal

output of subjects in lighting conditions that range

from low to high.

Full Auto

Exposure is adjusted automatically by gain, iris and

electronic shutter setting.

AE Gain Limit Setting

The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter

Priority and Iris Priority in the AE mode. Use this

setting when image signal-to-noise ratio is

particularly important.

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 1/30s, 1/15s, 1/8s,

1/4s, 1/2s, 1/1s. The picture output is read at a normal rate

from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate

from the CMOS. 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 – 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,” can you switch it to “Bright.”

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 the text sharper.

Basic Functions

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.

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).

Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode

The wide dynamic range can be set to be automatically

switched ON/OFF in accordance with the intensity

difference obtained by dividing an image into several

blocks and then averaging the intensity of each block.

Wide Dynamic Range Auto On/Off Mode

When the intensity

difference between the

dark portions and light

portions of a subject

becomes large because

of back lighting or the

like, the wide dynamic

range mode is switched

ON.

Auto On/Off

When the subject

changes and the

intensity difference

between the dark

portions and light

portions becomes small,

the wide dynamic range

mode is switched OFF.

The wide dynamic range mode includes the following

operation modes.

 WD Mode

This mode corrects blocked-up shadows and blown-

out highlights in accordance with the intensity

difference.

 WD Auto ON/OFF Mode

This mode switches WD ON/OFF automatically in

accordance with the intensity difference of the

subject.

Configure the sensitivity for when WD is switched

from OFF to ON with the detection sensitivity

parameter.

 Exposure Ratio Mode

This mode fixes the shutter speed of a long exposure.

Configure the shutter speed of a short exposure by

setting the ratio with regards to a long exposure with

the exposure ratio parameter.

Blown-out highlight correction is not performed in

this mode.

 Histogram Mode

This mode uses a histogram to correct blocked-up

shadows and blown-out highlights.

tu: Parameter to use in the exposure ratio mode.

Specify the short exposure time by setting

the magnification ratio (×1 to ×64) with

regards to a long exposure time.

Notes

• When the wide dynamic range mode is ON, solarization may be

observed in the images of some subjects. This phenomenon is

unique to wide dynamic range mode, and is not an indication of a

camera malfunction.

• The frame rate during Wide Dynamic Range mode will be half of

that during standard mode.

Example: When Wide Dynamic Range mode is ON in 1080/30P

mode, the frame rate is 15 fps.

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.

Basic Functions

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.

Custom Gamma Mode

Gamma correction can be changed in this mode. The

following five options are available.

1: Standard

2: Straight gamma

3: S-curve - Low

4: S-curve - Mid

5: S-curve - High

Blocked-up shadows in images will be more noticeable

than usual.

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.

Note

The Slow Shutter Auto function is not available in WD mode.

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. Set the

effect to be applied at approximately 15 dB. Higher

setting values produce stronger chroma suppressing

effects.

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.

When the auto ICR mode is set to ON, the image

becomes black and white.

Custom Color Gain

You can customize and 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% (Oh) to 200% (Eh) with 15 stages.

Custom Color Phase

You can customize and configure the color phase.

The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between

approx. −14 degrees (0h) and +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.

Basic Functions

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.

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 whether it

has been backed up.

Effect

It consists of the following functions.

• Neg. Art: Negative/Positive Reversal

• Black White: Monochrome Image

Checking the Location of the Camera for

Signals from the IR Remote Commander

The supplied Remote Commander may not work

correctly near inverter lighting fixtures. Good IR

detection can be verified to determine proper camera

location.

While the camera is being initialized after the power is

turned on by connecting the camera to an AC outlet

using the AC power adaptor and AC power cord, or by

using a VISCA command, the camera detects whether

or not the camera is able to receive infrared signals

from the Remote Commander. You can check the result

of this operation via the IR_ConditionInq command

(see page 37).

When the installation location does not allow stable

reception, try to install the camera farther away from

the inverter lighting fixtures.

Others

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.

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 without adjusting the following items each

time.

 Pan/Tilt Position

 Zoom Position

 Digital Zoom On/Off

 Focus Auto/Manual

 Focus Position

 WD On/Off

The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.

For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Position Preset”

section on page 16.

Note

If the camera is placed on a desk, when you pan the

camera to the right or left beyond 120° with the camera

tilted downward by 20° (or tilted upward by 20° if it is

installed on a ceiling), the camera base may be

captured by the lens, depending on the zoom position

of the lens.

Basic Functions

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 “Yes,” those that will be lost are indicated

by an “No.”

 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 Commander is being

pressed, the settings selected will be used as the

initial settings.

 Position preset 1 becomes VISCA command CAM_

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 D70 mode has been switched, all of the Position Presets are reset to their initial values.

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

In VISCA, the device producing the commands, for

example, a computer, is called the controller, while the

device receiving the commands, such as an

EVI-H100S/H100V, is called the peripheral device. The

EVI-H100S/H100V serves as a peripheral device in

VISCA. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like

the EVI-H100S/H100V can be connected to one

controller using communication conforming to the

RS-232C standard. The parameters of RS-232C are as

follows.

 Communication speed: 9,600 bps/38,400 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 DSR input (the DTR output of the controller) of

VISCA IN to H when controlling VISCA equipment

from the controller.

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-H100S/H100V assigned address 1 from the

controller (address 0) is hexadecimal 81H. The packet

sent to the EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is

82H. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input

the address of the EVI-H100S/H100V at X. The header

of the reply packet from the EVI-H100S/H100V

assigned address 1 is 90H. The packet from the

EVI-H100S/H100V assigned address 2 is A0H.

Some of the commands for setting EVI-H100S/H100V

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.

a command. No ACK message is returned for

inquiries.

 Completion message

Returned by the EVI-H100S/H100V 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

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the

EVI-H100S/H100V, 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-H100S/H100V has two

buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two

commands including the commands currently being

executed can be received. When the

EVI-H100S/H100V receives commands, it notifies the

sender which command buffer was used using the

socket number of the ACK message.

Command List

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-H100S/H100V 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.

The following command use two sockets during

execution of each command that is sent. The

EVI-H100S/H100V cannot receive other requests

during execution of these commands. In addition,

these commands cannot be executed during operation

of other commands.

Overview

The D70 mode allows you to control the EVI-H100S/

H100V using VISCA commands for the EVI-D70/P.

Most of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/

H100V correspond to one for the EVI-D70/P. However,

some of the VISCA commands for the EVI-H100S/

H100V are different from those for the EVI-D70/P in

definitions of parameters.

When you send those commands to an EVI-H100S/

H100V whose D70 mode is set to ON, the camera

translates the parameters for the EVI-D70/P to those

for the EVI-H100S/H100V and executes the command.

The following parameters are subject to translation.

 Zoom position

 Pan-tilt speed

 Pan-tilt position

Notes

 Even if you set the D70 mode to ON, the EVI-

H100S/H100V may not emulate the EVI-D70/P

perfectly. This is caused by differences in hardware

between the two models.

 The functions that are provided with the EVI-D70/

P but not with the EVI-H100S/H100V cannot be

executed.

Switching the Mode

You can switch the D70 mode ON or OFF by switching

the BOTTOM switch at the bottom of the EVI-H100S/

H100V. To change the D70 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 7-16 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.)

Pan/tilt speed

The actual speed that is defined by the parameters

corresponds to that of the D70.

When the camera receives commands such as

PantiltDrive Home, Reset, or CAM_Memory Recall,

that do not include speed indications, these operations

are carried out at the same speed as they would be

when the D70 mode is set to OFF.

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

100 times, one step after another to turn the camera to

the right side:

Cameras Results

EVI-D70/P Turns to the right side by 7.5 degrees.

EVI-H100S/H100V whose

D70 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-D70/P.

Pan direction: –170 degrees to + 170 degrees.

Tilt direction: –20 degrees to + 90 degrees.
