Sony's New Pan/Tilt/Zoom Remote Camera ­Captures Every Scene
Sony continues to add choice and flexibility to its industry-leading pan/tilt/zoom camera lineup with the introduction of the Sony EVI-D70, EVI-D70P, EVI-D70/W and EVI-D70P/W color video cameras. These four EVI models combine a high-quality color video camera with the flexibility of remote pan/tilt/zoom operation, all in a compact easy-to-use package.
In addition, this powerful P/T/Z camera now is available in two housing colors; select either a black (EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P) or white (EVI­D70/W and EVI-D70P/W) housing to best suit your application.
Incorporating an 18x optical zoom lens, these cameras allow a user to zoom in on a small or distant object with exceptional clarity. Compared to their predecessor, the EVI­D30/D31, these cameras offer a wider pan/tilt range, and a faster pan/tilt mechanism. Above all, these cameras are ceiling mountable
- a first for Sony's popular EVI cameras.
These EVI models are also equipped with a variety of convenient features such as an Auto ICR function, Alarm function and RS-232C/422 serial control, making them ideal for any remote-shooting applications such as distance learning, places of worship, courtrooms, event venues, concert halls, and more.

Superb Picture Quality with EXview HAD CCD
The adoption of Sony EXview HAD CCD technology improves basic camera performance. For example, these cameras offer superb sensitivity of 1 lx (typical), and a low smear level and D-range. (see Fig. 1)
RS-232C or RS-422 Serial Control (VISCA Command)
All camera settings and pan/tilt/zoom functions can be controlled remotely via a PC. With the RS-232C connection, maximum cable length can be extended to 15 m (50 feet), while the RS-422 connection extends this further to 1200 m (4000 feet).
Auto ICR (IR Cut filter Removal) Function Fig. 2
The Auto ICR function automatically switches the settings to attach or remove the IR Cut filter for increased sensitivity. 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 filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF). The ICR automatically engages depending on the ambient light, allowing the cameras to be effective both in day and night environments.
Alarm Function and AE Spot Setting
These cameras provide an alarm function that can detect changes within a user-designated area of an image.* When a change in AF, AE or both is detected, these cameras output an alarm trigger signal to the external equipment via the VISCA protocol. In combination with the Spot AE function, these cameras also detect changes in the luminance level, and they output an alarm signal. The detecting area can be applied to any of 16 vertical and 16 horizontal blocks. (see Fig. 3)
*
Using any of the pan/tilt/zoom functions will disable the
alarm.
