EVI-400/401
EVI-400DR/ 401DR
COL OR BLOCK CAMERA
Component/OEM
The EVI-400 and EVI-401 are color block
cameras that combine a 1/3 type CCD with
Super HAD technology (380k/440k pixels)
with a 12x optical zoom.
Equipped with functions not found in previous
models, these cameras also feature a
compact design for easy installation.
Incorporating Super HAD CCD technology,
these cameras achieve high sensitivity
(
minimum object illumination of 1 lx). An
EEPROM chip contains the pre-programmed
factory default camera settings so the camera
setting can be stored without battery backup.
In addition to the standard RS-232C, these
cameras feature a TTL level interface to enable
a non-computer device to control camera
settings. The EVI-400DR and EVI-401DR
provide additional features such as a digital
zoom with a standard 2x zoom (max. 8x)
and a V-Lock function which allows the
camera to be controlled externally, thus
extending the potential range of applications
for these cameras.

V-Phase Adjustment
●
Direct Interface
Transmission signal levels for VISCA interface can be set to
0 0.3 V (low) and 4.5 5.0 V (high).
●
Control Circuit Board
Depending on the type of "add-on" control circuit board,
the functions listed above are controllable. An MD-78
CN104 (27P) connector is used for connection with a 27pin flat cable. For details of the circuit design and
specifications, refer to the instruction manual.
■
Autofocus
Interval AF
The autofocusing mechanism is activated repeatedly at
regular intervals, but the interval (latency) can be set.
Zoom Trigger AF
The autofocusing mechanism is activated when zooming
begins; after a given period of time autofocusing stops.
The duration of autofocusing can be set.
One Push AF
After sending a trigger command through the VISCA interface, the autofocus function works only for the time period set.
AF Sensitivity
The autofocus function can be set to a lower sensitivity.
To adjust for changes in the illumination conditions, repetitious autofocusing can be controlled.
■
AE Gain
A maximum gain value can be selected. High Gain Mode
offers a maximum 10 dB increase in sensitivity. A minimum
object illuminance of 1 lx is achievable in High Gain mode.
■
Position Preset
Five preset camera settings can be stored semipermanently in EEPROM (electrically erasable and
programmable ROM).
■
Factory Preset
The factory default settings can be changed by custom
settings without using the position preset function. Custom
settings available include: (1) digital zoom magnification; (2) zoom speed; (3) zoom limiter settings (telescopic/wide); and (4) close focusing limiter settings.
Details are available upon request.
■
User Support (EEPROM set
)
The EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable ROM) has address space in which users can
store user defined settings. Date of manufacture, ID,
and other data are also recorded and can be retrieved.
■
External Synchronization
(V-Lock Synchronization)
V-Phase can be synchronized externally by inputting a
V-Lock signal via a CN700 connector to the MD-78
circuit board. (EVI-400DR/401DR)
Note:
V-Lock synchronization is a simplified synchronization method,
so unlike VBS Gen-lock, color signals cannot be synchronized.
