SONY EVI-D70, EVI-D70P, EVI-D70PW User Manual

The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P combine a high quality colour video
camera with the flexibility of a remote pan/tilt/zoom operation, all in a
compact easy-to-use package. 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 predecessors, the
EVI-D30/D31, the EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P cameras offer a wider
pan/tilt range, and a faster pan/tilt mechanism. Above all, these cam­eras are ceiling-mountable - a first for the popular Sony EVI cameras.
The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P are also equipped with a variety
of convenient features such as Auto ICR function, Alarm function and
RS-232C/422 serial control, making them ideal for any remote
shooting applications such as distance learning, indoor and outdoor
security systems, courtrooms, event venues, concert halls, and more.
The EVI-D70 is now available in black (ref. EVI-D70P) or white
(ref. EVI-D70PW).

Superb Picture Quality with EXview HAD CCD

The adoption of Sony EXview HAD CCD improves basic camera
performance. For example, these cameras offer superb sensitivity of
1 lx (typical), and a low smear level and D-range.

Auto ICR (IR Cut Filter Removal) Function (see fig. 1 overleaf)

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.

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).

Alarm Function and AE Spot Setting (see fig. 2 overleaf)

The EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P/EVI-D70PW 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.

* Using any of the pan/tilt/zoom functions will disable the alarm.

Remote PAN Tilt Zoom Video Camera

Sony continues to add choice and flexibility to its industry-leading Pan/tilt/zoom
camera line up with the introduction of the EVI-D70 and EVI-D70P colour
video cameras. With outstanding sensitivity of 1 lux, they can be used indoors
or outdoors, even in poorest light.
